Color 10 Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
looking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time =?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color rostorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers

following pertinent editorial and cor
Responsiveness
The Capital Matter
This paper has looked without bias
or partiality upon the contest be-
tween Guthrie and Oklahoma City for
| the capital In order that our read
ers might have first hand and official
! information of some features OF the
case, we wrote TO the school land de-
partment to trace down some state
ments made in the Oklahoma City pa.
pers. The correspondence appears
elsewhere in this issue. We gather
from the facts brought out, that Okla
homa City is trying to play the people
of the state for suckers, and planning
to unload on them some scattered and
undesirable suburban lands with
shady titles in lieu Of the capitol
building she coyenanted to the state.
The whole history of the location Of
the capital at Oklahoma City is rotten
and corrupt from its original inception
to its latest proposition. Not only is
the land OF doubtful title and value
but the forfeit is put in Lee Cruces
hands as private citizen. with strings
to it making it subject to contract
written in weasel words. We have
not heretofore been in favor Of locat-
ing the capital at Guthrie, but, consid-
ering the crookedness, dishonest and
utterly despicable course and conduct,
plans and propositions Of the sharks
Of Oklahoma City, mot the honest
people) in this matter, we will use
our vote and Influence to help pass
the pending constitutional amendment
to locate the capital at Guthrie.

RURAL PARCELS POST
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
cral Urges the Change in
the Department.

Washington, Jan. lS.-The estab-
lishment of parcel post delivery
along rural mail routes should not
be delayed any longer, in the opin-
ion of p. Y. MeGraw, fourth as
sistant postmaster general, as ex-
pressed in his annual report sun
day.
Every consideration of practi-
eability business expediency and
good administration" he says, "fa-
vors the plan as being a probable
source of large revenue and great
public accommodation
Mr.. McGraw based his recon-
|mendation for a parcel post on the
ground that the expenditure for
roral service is increasing more
rapidly than the receipts; and the
parcel post, he says, would provide
much additional revenue. Last
year the rural mail receipts Were
H,5070000, while the expenditures
were S37 10000. For the present
year there has been appropriated
SAG, 100000, while it is not expected
that there will be any appreciate
increase in receipts. This loss will
become greater each year. he says
unless parcel post is established to
help.
There are more than 100000
miles of rural mail routes, and the
average mileage day for each
carrier is 24l9 miles. In the last
year 81 routes were added, making
the present total 1856.

WOULD NOT STAY DEAD
After Being Laid Out" Several
Hours, Corpse Startles Watchers
by Asking About Weather.

Knoxville, Jan. ia specia
from Asheville, n c., says:
Neighbors of Robert w. Smith an
aged resident of South Hominy, had
long known that he was incurably
i'll, and when they were told of his
death on Tuesday they set about
preparing him for burial. They
laid him out about 7 o'clock in the
morning, and a short while after
ward all left the room. Between
= and 9 O'clock a number of per-
sons re-entered the room where the
body lay. After some time, one
who had helped to shroud Mr..
Smith noticed that his arms seemed
to have become dsarranged and
approached the body. What was
supposed to be the corpse slightly
opened one eye and said:
Its raining, isn't it?"
Every person in the room except
the one addressed suddenly real
lied that they had pressing business
elsewhered. Subsequently they and
others returned to listen to occa-
sional remarks by Mr.. Smith. He
was again pronounced dead at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mr. Smith was to all appearances
dead Tuesday morning. and his re
yiVal is considered miraculous by
those who saw him. He had suf-
tered from tuberculosis for years.
but he was known as a man of re-
vitality. lie was 20 years
old and is survived by a family.

tbly past Co. lies in the city jail
acre under fine of $500, with the
court costs and Jail sentence Of
months, for picking the pockets
of a man who was boarding a train
at the Rock Island passenger sta
ton here Tuesday. He was crowd
ing his victim a little too much,
Or probably had lost his cunning
because of his old age, for he FUN
Died SCI that he attracted the pass
myers attention and arrest fol-
lowed. He denied his guilt at first,
nut afterwards admitted that he
aol only had worked his smooth
fingers into the pockets of Rock Is
and passengers, but that he is a
slobe-trotter whose chief business
IN life has been TO relieve other
people Of their surplus coin.
After he was thrown in Jail he
grew garrulous and told all sorts Of
tales of ight-llngered work, run
|uing back to the days before the
Civil war. In fact, it was during q
"trip from New Orleans TO a north
'ern city in the slavery days, that he
stole the $4,000 the loser being
none the wiser as to who got the
wallet. 1t contained q roll of big
bills, the proceeds of a slave sale.
Without money it will be the

his speckled past from the gloom
of a cell at the city jail for the
next IL months or more.

Lock was killed today for alleged
