Mixed With Sulphur 1t Makes
Hair Soft, Beautiful.
Cures Dandruff.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
uraI color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair fell out or
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But the brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays skilled
chemists do this better than ourselves.

Score.


Baldwin, Kan, Feb. 4.-The Baker
basketball team went down to defeat
against the Warrensburg Normal team
from Missouri in the return game on
the home floor, the final score being
"a to 30.
1t was one of the hardest and rough
est fought games of the season and the
game was in doubt all the way. The
visiting team started off by throwing
a foul goal quickly followed by a field
basket. This seemed to give them en-
enlargement and they managed to
keep that place for the first half of
the game. Baker came back strong in
the second half and with two minutes
to play were two points ahead only to
be two points behind at the blowing
of the whistle. This was the third
game between the two teams within
the last week, Baker having won two
out of the three.

THE PEOPLE KNOW
That Pe-ru-na Is a Good Catarrh Remedy

7 Such people write me these letters
without any solicitation on my part,
without any pay, direct or indirect,
to tell me the benefit that Pe-ru-na
has been to them.
To me this is better evidence than
as if all the medical books in the
world agreed that Pe-ru-na was the
best catarFh remedy ever invented.
1t is better evidence to me than as
if all the doctors in the world would
join in declaring Pe-ru-na to be the
best remedy in the world for catarrh.
The experience of the people is the
best kind of evidence.
Neither reason nor book learning
nor the schools could furnish data so
complete, so satisfactory. as the eN-
perience of the masses.
Not only does Pe-ru-na cure chron-
ic catarrh, but for coughs and colds
and winter diseases, for grip and lar
yngitiS and the various arrangements
of the respiratory organs to which
every one is subject, can confidently
say Pe-ru-na is an excellent remedy.
Why?. Because [ find it in the books
Because the medical profession say
so? Because | have reasoned it out?
Nothing of the sort. Because L have
tried it thousands and thousands of
times and it works.
Are You Looking for a Catarrb
Remedy?
Now, then. you may be hunting for
a catarrh remedy yourself. You may
have searched in vain in the books
to find one. You may have inquired
and tried to find one through the
medical profession. You may have
futilely attempted to reason it out for
yourself.
You have just one more chance to
work out your problem. That is eX-
perience. If your experiences are not
sufficient, take the experience of your
neighbor. Your neighbor has been
cured by Pe-ru-na. There is not a
village or town, hamlet or city that
does not contain one or many people
who have recovered while taking Pc
runa.
If you want to become one of this
multitude just get a bottle and try it.
You can find it in any drug store.
The directions are on the bottle. If
you want to make doubly sure, write
me. Il will send you some literature
and perhaps some personal advice.
