GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture OF Sage Tea

Gloss, Thickness

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
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,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell clat you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or

sALO0NISTs WON'T REBUILD
Buildings Burned Not to Be Repaired
Because Of "Dry" Sentiment
-29 Saloons Affected.

East Grand Forks.-A contract for
repairing the east end of the bridge
that crosses the river between Grand
Forks and this place will be let by
city council here. The city of Grand
Forks is to pay part of the expense.
The work will be done by local con-
tractors and will cost probably $12.-
300.
The buildings burned when the
bridge was damaged will not be re-
built on account of the feeling that
county option and eventually prohi-
bition will be in effect. Either will
cause 20 saloons to close and make
many vacant buildings.
The saloon business has not been
good since the bridge was partly de-
stroyed, for 80 per cent of the patron
age came from Grand Forks.

Duluth.-It took jury in district

being that he obtained $1,000 under

settlement for the amount mentioned
1t has been discovered this is his
regular occupation-the muicting OF
railroads and other corporations for
personal damages. He can feign total
paralysis to such a degree that physi-
clans have been completely fooled.
In the case just ended, Koch faces
the chance of spending from one to
ten years in the penitentiary. He has
already served three terms on similar
charges.
On Oct. IA last, Koch took the Du-
luth & Iron Range train, which leaves
hate at night, and at Two Harbors,
where he got off, fell or was thrown
violently to the platform. He said
that his raincoat, which he carried
over his arm, caught and threw him.
He feigned total paralysis and for
eight weeks lay on his back in the
Budd hospital apparently unable to
change his position voluntarily. The
road settled with him for $1,000.
Almost Immediately afterwards
Koch vanished. The road officers took
out warrant for him and after trac-
