Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound

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 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large
bottle Of this famous old recipe for
about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does It 80 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 morning the
gray hair disappears, snd after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The story OF
an international episode during which
the San Domfngoan navy was routed
by broadside from the kitchen OF
the Clyde liner Alduquin, was brought
here today by the crew of the vessel
arriving from southern ports. The
Alduqufn steamed into port while
revolution was going on. The entire
navy, consisting of three pleasure
yachts armed with small canon, steam
ed out to inform The officers of the
steamer that she was not wanted. As
the battleshfp approached the huge
liner. they came alongside and then
it happened. The cook didn't know
his vessel was being besieged but
opened the port hole and emptied the
contents of his garbage can all over
the gold laced officers. That was
enough and the navy dispersed.

the stock market was concerned that
was pretty well neglected with small
grading, unimportant transactions and
little manifestation of interest even in
usual active shares. The movement
was narrow and almost wholly con-
fined to professional spectators, who
appeared disinclined to do anything,
pending the holiday recess. After
opening fractionally higher, the mar

l. C. Reeves Sells Out His Store After
Being In Drug Business for
About q Half
Century.
IN SALEM PART OF TIME
For Last Twenty-One Years He Has
Conducted Business on Main
Street Near
Fourth.

l. G.. Reeves, who has been for fifty
years in the drug business, will retire
from active business within few
days. He has sold his store on Main
street between Third and Fourth
streets to George L. Parsons. Mr..
Reeves plans to retire as soon as the
invoicing of the stock is completed.
For fifty years Mr.. Reeves has been
in the drug business. Twenty-seven
years of that half century he lived in
Salem, Iowa, and then moved to
Keokuk, where he has been located
since. For twenty-one years he has
been in the location near Fourth and
Main streets. He has become ia
miliar figure to all who frequent that
corner, and he will be missed from
the store which he has SO successfully
conducted.
During the time he has been engag-
ed in the drug business Mr.. Reeves
also has been engaged in other inter-
ests. He was owner Of al.omill at
Donnellson, and while there he was
interested in livery barn. While not
entering personally into these other
branches, his was the directing hand.
For seven years Mr.. Reeves has
been in charge of the postoffice sub
station which has been located in his
store.
This afternoon in speaking of his
retirement from active business ca
reer, Mr.. Reeves recalled an interest
ing bit of history, or perhaps it might
better be called sentimental history
Eighteen wears ago he said he moved
his family from the old WINS home
stead on North Second street between
Blondeau and Concert streets. Last
week he moved back into the old
homestead, having purchased 1t and
having had it remodaled. .5
