Grandma Never Let
Her Hair Get Gray.
Kept her locks youthful, dark, glossy
and thick with common garden
Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell'
because it's done so naturally, SO
evenly Preparing this mixture
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant You will also dis
cover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
years younger.-Adv.

Sick Headache
Pinkiets, the New Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief in Most Gases.

AS a rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours in advance when an
attack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by gradual ac-
emulation of poison generated in the
digestive organs and when a certain
point is reached this poison produces
nausea and the attack follows.
In very many cases the use of proper
laxative before the condition of prostra-
ton is reached will force the poisons
from the system and the attack will be
avoided. Pinklets are a dainty laxative,
tiny, sugar-coated granules that arouse
no feeling of repulsion. and they act so
gently that they are the ideal laxative to
use in correcting tendency to sick
headache. They do not upset the diges-
ton, do not grippe and have no unpleas-
ant effect to make them Objectionable to
the extra sensitive sick-headache patient.
Old fashioned, harsh purgatives will not
do at all in such cases. For complete in
formation regarding the treatment of
sick headache send to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y, for the
Pinklet book. 1t is free.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets In 25-cent bottles.-Adv.

SPRINkLING ciTYS STREET.
Street Commissioner Trask Suggests
Improvement in the Present System.

During a recent visit to Portland
Street Commissioner, w. D. Trask,
spent a gerater part of a day in study
ing the methods of conducting the de-
partment of public works of the city
of Portland and has returned with
ideas which will be put into practice
in the Augusta street department as
rapidly as possible.
One matter which particularly in
terested him was their method OF
handling the street sprinkling prob
tim. There has of late come to the
street department numerous sugges-
lions and requests that the city con-
duct the street sprinkling which has
been previously done by private enter
prise. Il is in. line with these re
quests that the matter is now under
consideration for the coming year. 1he
statute provides that such streets as
the city government shall determine
may be sprinkled and the cost OF the
same equitably assessed upon all
abutting property. However, In view
of the fact that in some cases a hard
ship might be wrought by sprinkllng
streets where it is not desired ana
thereby placing burden upon the
abutters against their will, it seems
preferable to sprinkle only upon petit
ton of the residents upon street and
then assess upon a frontage basis as
provided by law.
1t also seems advisable that hear
ing be held upon each petition at
which time the various methods OF
dust prevention now in use will be eX-
planned by the department and an
opportunity given for full and free
discussion of each and all methods
and a decision reached as to the meth
cd desired.
After the details have been worked
out blank forms of petition will be
prepared and available for all desiring
them
1t might also be interesting to know
that a filing cabinet has been install
ed in the office of the street depart
ment with filing accommodations for
all correspondence, catalogues, circu-
lars. maps. plans and note books re-
lating to sewer assessments, entries,
bridges, street openings, etc, have also
been prepared. Loose leaf records or
all streets and street monuments and
an accounting and cost system, which
is the result of a study of the best
methods of several state highway and
municipal departments is in the pro-
cess of preparation. This Is a start
toward filing a long felt want IN this
department and will be an invaluable
source of information.

AMUSE MENTS.
CITY HALL.
Famous Musical Dunbars Tonight.

Famous Musical Dunbars Tonight.
To fail to hear the Dunbar Quartet
and Bell Ringers at City hall this eve
ming, will be missing one of the most
enjoyable entertainments ever given in
Augusta. This unique company has
a world wide reputation, having given
over 1000 concerts and Travelled nearly
100000 miles.
The wise will secure seats as early
today as possible, but thanks to the
size of City hall there will be plenty
at the box office tonight for those VINO
at the last hour decide to go.
The Syracuse ~. " Herald says
of the Dunbars: These ordinary look
ing men of extraordinary ability
packed three hours enjoyment into an
hour and three quarters. Their
versatility was a source of wonder ana
pleasure as number after number I'M
folded a new side Of their remarkable
entertaining ability"
They sang fine quartet numbers
illustrating each with dramatic action,
their voices harmonizing beautifully.
They demonstrated their ability to
produce the most exquisite music on
the bells, which were of wonderfui
sweetness and softness in quality.
Their work was something entirely
new and was delightful
"One of the company was inimltable
as a teller of dialect stories, one was
an unusual violinist, another an artist
with the cello, While the pianist was
the best ever heard here"
Their closing number Expressions
of Grand Opera was wonderful COM
bination of fine singing and ridiculous
acting which kept the audience in a
gale of laughter and sent all home
with tears in their eyes"
The Augusta Entertainment Course
Committee believes that the Dunbars
will please as well-proably better than
any entertainers they have brought to
this city during the past five years.

Speaking of Saturdays BLIZZARD
said an Augusta citizen, Thursday,
reminds me of the big blizzard OF
1888, which was surely some storm
Seems to me / never saw the drifts
piled so high in Augusta streets as
thew were at that time. The snowfall
was a big one, and While In some
places where the wind got a good rake
everything was swept clean down 10
the old snow, in other places the snow
was piled up so that it was almost i'm
possible to get through the drills'
People had all kinds OF experiences the
day after the storm, some of them
laughable and some otherwise, out one
in particular which l remember was
that of an elderly man who was at that
time a pressman at the E. Z. Allen
publishing house, and who lived on
Gage street. The snow was piled up
so around his house that it was I'M
nossible to get out of the front door
So the man, with the help of his wife
and daughter, laid plank from the
sfll of one of the windows out over the
drift and crawling down the plank on
his hands and knees he reached the
street in safety. SupposlnS ms
troubles were over he made his way
TO the head of the street, only TO md ms
progress blocked at that point by a
drift of enormous proportions, and the
only alternative was to make his way
bacx 70 the house and wait until the
street should be broken out, which ne
did. but when he came to climb the
nlank back to the window he found IL
a much more disicult proposition than
1t had been to crawl down on his way
out. And to add to his troubles he
fell off the plank before he reached the
window and went almost out of sight
in the deep snow. He was rescued
however by the feminine members OF
his family and hauled in through the
window to safety, where he remained
until conditions were more favorable
for getting down town"
