FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using Re-
cipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray dull and
lfeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it mas been
applied. Besides, it takes of Gandrult,
stops scalp itching and failing nair.
You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, is
that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of abun'
dance.

# STOMACH IS BAD
"Pape's Diapepsin," is Quickest, Sur

Known.

You don't want a slow remedy
when your stomach is bad-or an un-
certain one-or a harmful one-your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
injure it with drastic drugs.
Papes Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
It's millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get large
fifty-cent case from any drug store and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; ii
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa-
tions of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach,
all such distress vanishes. It's prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcom-
ing the worst stomach disorders is a
revelation to those who try it,

The fire waste of the country is eX'
cessive, and is sapping its prosperity
Reduction of the fire waste is an i'm
pOrtant part of the campaign for the
conservation of the national resources.
Fire losses in the United States and
Canada in 1912 were 25,320, 900, most
of them due to carelessness.
Fire losses and the cost of fire pre-
vent.on in the United States amount
annually to $45O,000,OOO, or more than
the total American production of gold,
silver, copper and petroleum in year.
The cost of fires each year is one
half the cost of all the new buildings
erected in a year.
The annual per capita fire waste in
the United States is $2.51, in Europe,
S3c. Cause: The latter has better
construction, less carelessness, in
creased responsibility.
If buildings in the United States
We're as fireproof as in Europe, the
annual cost of fire losses and protec-
tion would be only $90,O00,000
New York City spends $1O0OO,0O0
a year for fire eXtinguishment, and
$150,000 a year for fire prevention.
OF 4676 known causes of fire in
Chicago last year, $40 were due to
the careless use of matches. Nearly
ten thousand matches are scratched
every second of the day in this coun-
try every one possible fire.
Over five thousand are killed and
10000 are injured annually as re-
suit of fire.
The proportion Of insurance capital
to insurance liabilities is very much
on the decrease. In the past forty
years the liabilities have almost dou-
bled, while only $30OOO,000 more cap
ital was invested in the business in
1913 than in 1870.

CHICAGO DEFEATED INDIANA

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Before a crowd of
5000 people, most Of whom took part
in the dedication exercises of the his
toric athletic field, Chicago defeated
Indiana on the University of Chicago
athletic field, 81 to z. The gathering
was the largest that has seen an open
ing game on the midway in the his
tory of football. The game was pre-
coded by dedication ceremonies in
which the complete undergraduate
body Of the university n 500 alumni
took part.
The game was far from a we'll
played contest. The offensive work
was ragged and the defensive play
was q disappointment. All the scores
were the direct results Of fukes and
neither team earned a touchdown.
In the first period Captain Norgren
intercepted a forward pass and sprint"
ed for a touchdown. Russell scored
the second touchdown in the second
period after Chicago had intercepted
a forward pass close to Indiana's goal
line. The third score of the local ag-
gregation was the result of Scott
kicking out OF bounds on his fifteen
yard line. From this point Chicago
made aStouchdown with ease, The
score made by Indiana the result
of a. tumble by Breathed, who dropped
the oval when tackled. Scott gath
cred in the ball and sprinted fifty
yards for a touchdown. Neither team
| played an advanced article Of foot
| ball and both will have to improve to
be factors in the conference race.

game of the year, the score being As
to 0. The lightest backfield Michigan
has ever put onto a field reeled off n
spectacular run after another. scoring
almost at will in the first and second
quarters. In the last two periods Yost
put an entirely new team into the field
and the work Of the Wolverines was
slackened somewhat. but two scores
were earned by the subs.
Michigan backs developed a wonder
full ability at open-field running. Cat
lett. Bentley and Gait getting away
time after time for gains of from
twenty to fifty-f1ve yards. Their runs
were aided by the effective blocking Of
the Michigan linemen, the big WolVer-
inc forwards dumping the Case men
long before they had a chance to get
near the man with the ball.
Michigan confined its plays strictly
to line plunging and o~ff-tackle dashes
and never once failed to make the re-
CURED distance. A single forward
pass was tried, and this late in the last
quarter when Quinn pun the oval too
far for a successful catch. Case tried
repeated trick plays, but all save q
double pass executed near it's own goa
in the last quarter failed dismally
This one resulted in a ten-yard gain,
but the Wolverines stopped every
other attempt.
