Restore, Gray Hair
to Natural Color

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming In
vogue. our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
our grandmothers kept their hair soft
and glossy with "a Sage Tea" which
also restored the natural color.
One objection TO using such pre-
paration was the trouble of making it..
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable RENE
dies for dandruff, itching scalp. and
thin. weak, falling hair
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded
hair. when a simple, harmless remedy
will bring back the color in a few
days: and don't be tormented with
dandruff itching scalp and loose, fall
ing hairs Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy will quickly correct these
troubles, and give color strength and
beauty to your hair.

druggist today, and prove this to

money will be refunded If the remedy

Politics in Somerset.

After a meeting of the executive
committee of the Mooers Republican
Club, Friday evening, called to map
out its work for the remainder of the
. campaign. Carlton p. Merrill, president
of the club and who has thereby be-
come we'll posted as to the general po-
ltical feeling throughout the county,
was interviewed and sized up the stu
alton. so far as Somerset county is con-
cerned, something like this: IF both
parties nominate Sheriff Mooers the
county in September will go strongly
Republican. If the Republicans nomi-
nate and the Democrats fail to renom-
mate Mr.. Mooers the Democrats will
have absolutely signed their own death
warrant, and If the reverse should
happen the contest viii be close. with
a possible Democratic victory Should
neither party place Mr.. Mooers' name
on its ticket the Prohibition party will
roll up record vote, principally at the
expense of the Republican ticket, for
Mr.. Mooers' name will surely appear
upon that party's ballot, and the Re
publican success will be endangered
thereby. TO assure Republican success
Mr.. Mooers must be nominated. DEM
ocratic failure to renomiHate him will
insure Republican victory, and there
is every indication that Sheriff Mooers
will be the emphatic choice of the Re-
publicans at the primaries"
Mr.. Merrill says that this is not his
dope alone, but that of the best
posted party leaders. Mr. Mooers has
exceedingly strong support in the Dem
ooratic party but it is of the quiet
kind, and the kind that is likely to
come over to the Republican party in
September. The opposition of both SEN
ator Donigan and Representative
Thompson, the latter the sherin's Dem
oaratic opponent in the primaries. to
Mr. Mooers, together with their leg
islative record so far as the prohibi-
tory law is concerned, is significant.
This is especially true of the senator
VINO has heretofore posed as a support
er or the law and as approving the
magnificent record of the sheriff.
