RESTORE CRAY HAIR
! TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Grav Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark.
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-fve, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with Sage Tea, which also restored
the natural color. De- --s--s,->->ssss-.-
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton 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 q
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 few DAYS: and
don't be torTnented with dandruf, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
Wyeth' Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
/ will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to your
hair.

eff the roads around town are bad,

Good roads will increase health,
wealth, happiness, education, religion,
morality, civilization and prosperity"

that no town looks so good to the
farmer that he will kill his horse to

Good roads will decrease ignorance,
poverty, encouragement, immortality.

and grouches."
Good roads have a moral, civic
and educational value which cannot
be measured in dollars and cents.
Good schools cannot be reached I'M
less we have good roads"
Good roads are a valuable trade
mark for any community, and prove
a blessing to the people who build
them"
WAS it in your township that some
ignoramus pulled the sod into the
middle of the road?"
Good roads will encourage the
country folks to come to town, and
will bring the city folks out in the
country for fresh air"
THE better the roads to a farmers
residence, the closer it brings his
farm to town, thereby increasing the
value of same"
"a farm 10 miles from town on a
hard road is nearer than farm five
miles to town on a soft roll"

expected that more than 5000 Swedish
people from Rock Island and adjacent
counties will participate. A varied
program has been arranged and the
committees are already busy with the
preliminary work. There will be
speechmaking. singing, maj stong" or
May pole exercises, and games. Rev &.
A. F. Bergstrom of Moline will preside
as master of ceremonies and Mayor NJ.

welcome.

one of the local pastors. Next will be
a hymn by the National chorus, and
then the mayor will deliver his address

z. W. Olson of Ausustana college

state and national aid for per
manent roads is sure to come, but
it is not likely to come to any COM
munity that has by it's lack of interest

worthy of same"
THE best plan to assist in the i'm.
provement of the roads, is for every
automobilist to carry a shovel in his
car at all times, and use same oc
casionally, instead of carrying a ham
