YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs, which,
unfortunately, are looked upon as her
aids of advancing age. Gray hairs,
however, are not always an indication
of advancing age, for many people have
gray hairs quite early in life. OF course,
it is unnatural, and indicates that there
is something wrong with the individual,
and that Nature needs assistance in
correcting the trouble. The same is true
of hair that is constantly falling out and
becoming thinner every day If every
thing is right with Nature, the hair,
even in comparatively elderly people,
should be long, thick and glossy, with
out even streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in re-
storing and preserving the hair is
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, a clean and wholesome dressing
for daily use. 1t not only removes
dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin
and falling hair and promotes its
growth. A few applications will re-
store faded or gray hair to its natural
rolor.

you what it has done for thousands OF

is. w. Barnes yesterday afternoon
| sent a bullet crashing into the brain
of his young wife and then, turning
the weapon upon himself, literally
blew the right side of his head off
The double tragedy occurred in the
couples apartments at zoos Live
Oak street, shortly after 2 o'clock.
When officers gained an entrance
to the room the baby hands were
caressing the blood-smeared face Of
the woman, and the little one was

The woman's lifeless body was
flung across the bed with blood from
the wound in the temple tricklins
over her face, soaking her hair am
the bed clothing
The mans body was across the
of the head torn away by the large
caliber bullet and the blood and
brains spattered over the floor and
walls Near by lay the weapon which
had been used to end the two lives
His falling body struck and over
turned a stove, the SCOT drifting
down over everything like pail
The weapon used was A caliber
revolver. The bullet which caused
the woman's death entered Just
above the right eye. Powder burrs
indicated that the muzzle of the
pistol was close to her head when
the shot was fired.
The mans wound was in the right

TEXAS GIRL WINS
FAME AS SINGER.
New York Papers Lavish in Praise
of Miss Laura Maverick.


Laura Maverick, the contralto,
who is a native of Texas has added
to her already enviable reputation
by her appearance at Carnegie hall
with the Russian Symphony Orches-
ira on last Sunday The New York
papers were lavish in their praise OF
| the purity of tone, the beautiful
| quality of her voice and the remark
able enunciation of the words of her
; songs.
For her first number, she chose
!, lie NIL" by the modern French
composer, X3ver Leroux, and ''Prin-
, temps qui Commence" from Saint
Saens Samson and Delilah." She
was received with great enthusiasm
and called out to bow a number of
times. Her group of songs by Gou-
nod, Franz, Bemberg and Chadwick,
also gave great pleasure and show
ed the singer equally at home in this
| field. Her singing of the beautiful
| "In Autumn" of Franz was note
worthy, as was her distinctly emo
tional exposition of the Chant
HINDU" into which she brought
countless varieties of tonal shading
and colouring, closing the group
with Chadwick's "Danza," the spirit
of which she interpreted admirably.
After q number of recalls she gra-
ciously responded with an extra.
One of the particularly fine features
of her work Is her splendid enunci-
alton in the three languages,
French, German and English, in
which she was heard ~
Arrangements are now being
made for a tour of Texas and the
southwest by Miss Maverick.
