BE PRETTY! TURN

Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly compound
ed brings back the natural color AMI
lUstre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which rs
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get a large bottle
of this famous old recipe for about so
cents.
Don't stay grey! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkenel
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. 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 disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy. Hooks Pharmacy. advt

Oklahoma, Missouri and Georgia are
all communities noted for their gai-
lantry toward womankind, and the ac-
ton of three juries as above indicated
is taken by leading lawyers and jurists
here as an indication that a reaction
has set in, so far as dealing with wo-
men by juries is concerned. They see
in it the result, to some extent, of the
demand of women themselves that they
be given equal rights before the law.

THE POLICE PROBE.

At the instance of Alderman W. S.
Feuer, democrat, the Gary common
council has passed resolution pro-
viding for a probe into the notorious
activity of the Gary safety board and
police department during the recent
democratic primaries This is d
step in the right direction and what
ever evidence the probers get ought to
be turned over to the next grand
jury.
The committee will undoubtedly
find that the police worked under
orders. 1t will also probably find
that the men of the department were
forced to choose between breaking the
law and running the risk of going to
jail or being separated from their
positions.
Things have indeed come to fine
pass when the police take possession
of the polls and when they assist in
guiding voter. No where else in In
diana would such high-handed
methods be tolerated
