GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Try erandmother's Old Favorlte
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded streak
ed 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 a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young.

instrument In
Book.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Feb. 5.-The
Mississippi River Power Co. filed a
mortgage with County Recorder
Youngstrom of all their property In
Des Moines county. The mortgage
was made out to the Old Colony Trusc
Co., Of Massachus stts, and the amount
OF the mortgage was given as s25, O00,-
000
The power company gives a mort
gage to all of their property to the
Massachusetts company and in each,
case the full amount Of the mortgage
held on the whole property Of the
company is listed. The document. as
well as being for the largest amount
of any that was ever recorded with
any recorder of Des Moines county,
is also the most voluminous. Thisre
are more than fifty type written
pages and the matter must be copied
by the recorder into the record books
and the copy must correspond abso-
lutely with the original paper. Every
little item must be carefully set forth
and even the periods, commas and
other punctuation marks must appear
In the copy in exactly the same man
ner that they are shown in Tina orig
inal document.
Under the old order of running
things in the county offices. the re-
corder would have been glad to get
such large job as he was paid part
ly under this fee system and the big
document would have made a nice
item in the monthly warrant drawn
by the recorder. Under the present
system the man who files the desd on
, other document must pay a fee that
| is about the same as formerly, but in
the present case the money goes tc
ths county and not to the recorder o.
| his deputy.
I The Mississippi River Power com
pany. who fled the big paper. was
required to pay filing fee of nine
| teen dollars, the largest single fee
isver received for one document ir
! the local county Office.
4 It is estimated that it will take the
deputy county recorder at least two
days to copy the mortgage as the law
requires and after that the copy mus
l be carefully compar I'D with the orig
1 inal and any mistakes in spelling
/! punctuation car in any other nlannel
!, must be rectified.

Rev. Hutchinson's subject was.
What is That in Thy Hand?" He
said in part: The words OF my text
were spoken by God to Moses in the
desert of INDIAN. God called Moses to-
lead His people of 400 years Of Egypt
ian bondage. Moses did not feel
equal to the task. 1t took God some
time to convince Moses that he could
do the work. Among others things
| God said, Moses, what is that in thy
hand" 1t was a rod, a shepherd S
staff. God told him to cast it on the
ground, doing So it became serpent
and Moses fed from It, God told him
to put forth his hand and take 1t by
the tail. He put forth his hand and
caught it and it becams rod in his
hand. What is in thy hand, rod?
Use 1t in Gods name and for His
cause
True worth is in being, not SEEM
ing; in doing each day that goes by.
Some little good. not in dreaming of
great things to do bye and bye. God
wants us to use what we have whath-
er it be rod or sceptor, a pen or
| pick. Some OF you are asking, What
can ! do to help God make better

But you ask what has horse flesh to

OLLIE SMITH HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
WHILE DRIVING ON PIKE TELE.
PHONE POLE FALLS ACROSS
HIS HORSE.

Ollie Smith, of B. A. Satterfeld &
Co., had a narrow escape from death
in one of the most peculiar and un.
usual accidents ever recorded. A
telephone pole fell across the horse
that Mr.. Smith was driving serious.
ly injuring the horse. Had the pole
fallen a moment later it would have
struck Smith squarely on the head
and doubtless a serious if not fatal
accident would have resulted.
Young Smith was driving along the
pike just west of Cross Bridges on
business for his firm when suddenly
four of the poles of the Citizens Tel
ephone Co. swayed and fell, one of
the poles striking the horse he was
driving right across the back, and
while the horse was badly hurt,
strange to relate his back was not
broken. Had the pole fallen just one
second later it would have struck the
buggy. No unusual wind was blowing
in that section, although there was a
stiff breeze all day. The poles had.
however, been in the ground for some
time and had deteriorated until they
could not resist the wind. Four of
them together with the wires fell
across and cluttered up the pike.

MAKES RhcKACNE
Quickly DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new dscov-
cry, Croxone, quickly and surely re-
lleves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. It
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
clple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and we'll.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. 1t
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs of
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism, such as puffy swellngs under
the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if
you are nervous, tired, and run down,
or bothered with urinary disorders,
Croxone will quickly relieve you of
your misery. You can secure an orig
inal package of Croxone at trihing
cost from any frst-class druggist.
All druggists are authorized to per-
ssonally return the purchase price if it
fails in single case.
