There is grocery "ad" in to-
days paper. Read it on the third
page. Sutherland and McFarlane
have pure groceries to sell and are
not ashamed Of the price or quail
ity Of their goods. This is the
first grocery "ad" that has appear
ed in these columns for three
months and goodness knows how
much longer. We were beginning
to fear that Elko grocers were try
ing to "bamboozle" the people
and sell them stale goods. We
venture to say that there is not an
other town on the face Of the earth
as large as Elko where the groc-
cries do not use printers ink to sd-
vertise their goods. We hardly
know whether it is a reflection on
the newspaper or the grocers.
However one live grocery has
broken the hoodoo and others prom
ise to follow suit. Now let US
whisper secret in your ear. Elko
grocers have goods just as good
pure and wholesome and as low in
price as any town in the entire
west, They will tell you all about
it in every issue of the Independent

The Alabama Minstrels which
showed at Imperial last evening

Of this city, as evidenced by the
liberal applause extended.
The work of the troupe was good
throughout, the singing was spIen-

The tent was crowded to the

The parade and band concert at
12 noon was without exception the
best ever witnessed in the valley.
Each member of the band is All artist

in honor of the tremendous crowd
which was present to welcome
them.
Imperial is known as good show
town, but the reception accorded
the Alabama Minstrels can be said
to have been excellent.

In tubes and used instead of lamps

which he used to light his way over

and fitted with a tube, ut the end Of
which the gas could be lighted. Garry
ing the bag under his arm, Murdock
used to light his way home at night
On meeting any one he would give the

Letter

Washington. May 21.-While
digging back through the Congress
sional Record the other day ON one
side Of the faded pages l came
across the only speech ever made
on the floor by James Mackenzie,
a Democratic Representative from
Kentucky, in 1880 and 1911. Mac
Kenzie was d famous character in
those days. His speech brought
him fame and the soubriquct of
"Quiniue jim"
The story of "Quinire Jim" Mac
Kenzie is worth telling now, be-
cause it gives a good idea of how
much reliance can be placed on the
statements of manufacturers that
low tariff rates are ruinous to
them.
Until the late '7O's. quinine had
always borne heavy tariff tax
though not pound of the bark
was grown in this country. AS a
result the retail price was very
high-S3.O0 and $4.00 an ounce,
and sometimes going up as high as
$3.50 an ounce. ...'
At such prices the poor could not
afford to buy qrinine. In the

ufacturing business. There were
five firms Of chemists manufactur-
ing the drug, and one Of them q
Philadelphia firm was the largest
producer of quinine in the world.
The appeal of the poor for
cheaper quinine was finally heard
in Congress, and in 1897 the Ways
and Means Committee met en- a
proposition to put quinine on the
free list.
The representative of the veal
thy Philadelphia chemist appeared
and declared that free quinine
would destroy their business. Con-
gress decided that it was better for
the quinine manufacturers TO be
forced out than for the people to
die for want of cheap medicine.
Quinine went on the free list.
The Philadelphia firm promptly
closed up its factory-fo just two
weeks. Then, having made good it's
threat to close, it reopened and
continued to do business at the
old stand
The price Of quinine dropped
from 1898 an ounce in 1879, to
$3.03, in 1880, and S2.47 in 1881;
with the Philadelphia manufacture
ers still managing to exist at these
prices.
Then the Republicans got control
Of Congress, and a new tariff bill
put quinine back on the dutiable
list. When the item was reached in
the House, II was the occasion for
Mluinine Jim's' first, last. and
only speech. ......... ......

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR TURNS
GRAY, FADED HAIR DARK
... 81. AND GLOSSY,

z Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
nstre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur. Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be
cause no one can possibly tell that yol
darkened your hair, as it does it 81
naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking on
small strand at a time; by mornin
the gray hair disappears, and afte
another application or two, your hal
. becomes beautifully dark, thick an
. glossy and you look years younger.
