TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
II Mixed With Sulphur II Darkens SO
Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using It to keep their hair a
good, even color; which is quite sens
ible. as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is Of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" for about SO cents
a bottle. Il Is very popular because
nobody can discover 1t has been ap-
piled. Simply moisten your comb or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications, 1t also produces that soft
lustre and appearance Of abundance
which is SO attractive; besides, pre-.
vents dandruff. itching scalp and fall
ing hair.

deaths OF r. F. Carter at st. Louis
and of Mrs. Johanna Schweite OF 1922

LOVE Is BOOSTING
HIS SECOND CITY
OH Receiving Hamlet Will be Thriv-
Ing Metropolis, is His Latest
Dream.

Quincy Journal: Ri1eyville, small
hamlet, composed of one general
store, several residences, or rather
iconcoctions OF dry goods boxes and
canvas, one large oil tank owned by
the Standard Oil Company for the
purpose Of receiving the oil from the
Colmar and Plymouth fields, will
soon be thriving city Of many In
habitants, il the plans of one William
T. Love, who gained considerable dis
tinction and money some time ago
by attempting to make a model city
out Of Lomax, ILL.,, a small town at
the junction point Of the Santa Fe
and Burlington railroads, pan out.
Several leading Quincy men. In
Guiding some of the real estate deal.
ers, have received letters from this
man, asking them to buy lots in the
vicinity of the proposed town stating
that, because of its natural location
in reference to the oil fields, it would
soon become metropolis. However,
since that time, according to rumor,
insurance men have refused to insure
any property in that vicinity because
of the oil tank which is located there.
and it is said that at public sale OF
lots only few were sold.
The feasibility Of making large
city out of this little hamlet seems
very improbable, in view Of the fact
that the producers in the oil fields
are not as promising as when the
field was first struck. Rileyville is
now merely sidetrack on the Bur
lington. between Tennessee and Col
mar and was called Rileyviile be-
cause the land where the track was
laid was owned by a farmer named
Frank Riley. The matter OF making
Lomax model city is still in the
shell.

sion festival held in st. Peters Evan

visiting with his friend at Quincy.
The Quincy Journal speaks as fol
lows Of the sermon by the Rev.
Ernst:
The Rev. A. C. Ernst followed with
an address in English, declaring in
favor Of Social Service" work within
the church. because "the Son of Man
came to seek afi6s to save that which
is lost. He said that during the last
two years the church has considered
social service work, which has for
its purpose the Improvement of con-
ditions under which men, women and
children work and live.
He advanced the idea that Inn
proved conditions mean better men
and women, open minds and willing
hearts. Then, the speaker held, the
full influence OF the power Of Jesus
Christ is felt, but His full influence
Is not felt without it. The questions
Of corporations, unions. ETC.. were de-
clared vital ones in which the church
must interest itself ere it will save
the souls OF men.

storm interrupts Circus.

Last nights rain interrupted the
performance at the circus grounds
When the storm commenced 1t was
accompanied by some heavy lightning
of the sort which seemed to split the
sky for an interval, and then all was
in inky blackness again. The wind
was rising, and some of the people
in the big tent became uneasy.
The crowd maintained its orderh'
ness however, and the few who were
frightened, were quieted by cooler
heads. The tent was leaking, how
ever, under the torrent of rain which
descended, and people swarmed on
their seats to get TO place that
seemed less of Niagara.
In this way they crowded more tc
the center OF the arena, and of course
got in the way of the performers. II
was necessary to stop the show, and
the crowd only waited until the rain
was abating to make a dash for home
The most trouble was found in get
ting to the sidewalks. People had to
wade through sea OF mud.
