WAY To
IN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
for All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy and In
good condition? AS a matter of fact,
sulphur is a natural element of hair,
and a deficiency of it in the hair is
held by many scalp specialists to be
corrected with loss of color and vital
ity of the hair. Unquestionably,
there is no better remedy for hair
and scalp troubles, especially pre-
mature grayness. than Sage and
Sulphur, If properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York put out an ideal prepare
ton of this kind, called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in
which Sage and Sulphur are COM
btned with other valuable remedies
for keeping the hair and scalp In
clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is loosing It's color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty cent bottle OF
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the
simple directions, and see what q
difference a few days treatment will
make in the appearance of your
hair.
All druggists sell it, under guar
antee tina THE money will be refund.

GENERAL SNOW BLOCKADE
AL Western Branch Lines Tied up by
Storms Of Past Ten days.. b E.
will probably be open Saturday

The situation on the S. & E. re-
mains unchanged. Supt. Aus
tin and his men are at the Mead
cut, waiting for the weather to
moderate. They we're almost
thru the cut, but the wind kept
piling the snow in as fast as they
could shovel it out. So they
drew off for better weather. Ar.
engagements have been made for a
u. P. snow pillow and it will be US
ed as soon as they feel assured
that there is any use to open up
the cut. Continual snow storms
and a steady wind have prevailed
since the 5th Of March and the cut
would haved filed up any day
from that date to the present time.
In the meantime we are getting
our mail via Dave Richmond's
stage line every other day and pas
sengers are being carried on that
line and also on the four-horse rig
of L. E.. Tichenor's
AS soon as the weather settles
the cut can be opened in a half a
day by a rotary from the U. P.
and service on the road will be re-
sumed. We are quite as FORUM
ate here as they are down in Neb-
raska, Kansas and Colorado, where
vel the main lines have been
tied up for days at a time and the
U. P. has been compelled to send
it's Kansas City trains on it's main
line via of Omaha. Every line
out of Omaha except the U. P. was
tied up at one time, and the bran
CHI lines are still in the same stu
alton as the S. & E. The U. P.
has been compelled to send five of
its snow plows to the rescue of its
lines in Colorado and Kansas, leav-
ing but two plows to take care of
the main line here in the noun
tains. So, while we are without
trains e%rvice, we are in as good fix
here as anywhere in the west.
The indications now are that the
s. & E. will be open for sesvice
again next Saturday.

Bank and later was cashier of the
Stockgrowers Bank over at Baggs,

Some Canadian Weather

The Sun is in receipt of a bust
ness letter from Mrs. L.. w. Nc
Auulty, formerly of this place,
but now residing at Simon's VAL
ley, Alberta, Canada, in which she
gives a clear idea of the weather
in that country, She says;
Canada is beautiful in some
Ways, and then in others it is no
good. The first year we were
here it was a dry season No
doubt you know we are in the dry
farming part of Alberta. Well,
that year the crops did not
amount to much, but last year
they were grand. We never saw
such grain growing anywhere.
That could not be, SO early in
September along came n heavy
snow storm and that did settle
things in good shape. The season
is two months later here than in
Wyoming or Colorado, SO the
grain was not cut when the snow
came and hundreds of acres never
did get cut. Many farmers have
not threshed yet. We did not
have much grain and what we did
have is still in the stack and by
the looks of things now it will be
there next threshing time.
we have no snow to speak of
and from the middle of January
up TO the this writing the weather
could not be any nicer. The
meaning of such beautiful wealth
rr may be another dry season."

Mothers Meeting

The Mothers meeting held at
the residence of Mrs. W. P. Hays.
on 18th inst. was one of the most
successful meetings ever held in
this place by the w. G. T. U.
Mrs. Winsor proved herself Il most
capable leader. Her paper was
n of the best of it's kind ever
given along this line. In the In
PRODUCTION came the following to-
pics, LACK of respect in the
modern child for its parents ''The
Benefits of the Curfew" "The
White slave question" with illust-
ration entitled II Can't. The
point being the average wage earn
ing girls in a ability to earn sufh-
cent money for her existence and
the path she was told to lead to
earn the rest. In her paper the
proper standard for motherhood
was brought out. Showing that the
mother was training the little tots
of today to be men and women of
the morrow and the different paths
they could lead if not properly
trained. Some of the topics of
her papers will be used in future
meetings. Mrs. Fanny Lee read
a paper on what Mothers Clubs
we're doing to help the machine
raised child. II also showed how
great is the need for this work.
The Solo given by Mrs. Hays
"Tell Mother N be there" and
and another by Mrs. Kirlin "Some
mothers boy" Seemed to touch the
hearts of all present, Mrs. Ono Lee
and Mrs. Nellie Humphreys each
gave Eve recetations touching up
on the topic. In closing five little
girls which Mrs. Scribner had
only trained gave the Chours
mothers songs. This was a most
enjoyable feature. Mrs. Pearson
had charge of the devotional, read
ing a fine scripture lesson, and
leading in a prayer closing with
the Lords Prayer in concert All
the visitors were pleased with this
meeting, and were anxious that
more Of the kind be given. Let
us hope that the good work be-
gun, may go on bringing help and
possibly inspiration, to those in
our midst who are in need of just
this thing, a mothers meeting.

Result Of STRAW Vote"

The Straw Vote proposed by the
Sun was something of a disap-
pointment, as but very few took
he trouble to vote. If those who
did vote, however, can be taken as
indicating the drift of public sem
timent, the people are in favor of
Colonel Roosevelt for president
and Senator Warren for United
States Senator to succeed himself.
That the people were largely in
favor of Warren there could be no
doubt and we never have for a
moment had any fears about his
election for another term of six
years. We also knew that there
was a strong Roosevelt sentiment
here, but it transpires that it
is stronger than we supposed.
Following is the ballot:
For President.
