SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
-
It's Grandmother's- Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Thickness.

Hair that loses it's color and luster.
or when 1t fades, turns gray. dull anj
lifeless, IS caused by lack of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made up
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of Women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only his old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 20 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compo md" which darkens the
hair so naturally. so evenly. that no.
body can possibly tell it has been ap-
piled. Besides. 1t takes Off dandruff.
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampcn sponge 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 delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that.
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. 1T also brings
back the gloss and luster and gives it
an appearance of abundance.-Advt.

Various Forms

lie says: "Physicians cannot even begin
the treatment Of disease without know
Ing what causes give rise to II, and we
must remember that headache is to be
treated according to the same rule. We
must not only be particular to give a
remedy intended to cOunteract the cause
which produces the headaches, but we
must also give remedy to relieve the
pain until the cause OF trouble has been
removed. To answer this purpose Anti
kamnia Tablets will he found e most
convenient and satisfactory remedy.
Ono tablet every one to three hours
gives comfort and rest in the most
severe cases ofheadache, neuralgia and
particularly the headaches of women"
Whenws shayeapatients sabte ct toregular
attacks of sick headache, We should eau
tion him to keep his bowels regular, for
which nothing is better than "Actoids."
and when he feels the least sign of an on
coming attack. he should take two AK

be instructed to carry q few Anti ti-kamnia

SINGLE TAX PLAN
FOR 1AKOMA PARK
Change in Proportion Of Assess.
ment, Suggested at Meeting,
Causes Warm Debate.

Discussion of the single system for
Takoma Park marked the regular meet
ing of tho mayor and council of that
town last night when Councilman +. l..
n T.ewton proposed a resolution looking to
the instruction of the board of assessors
to change the proportion Of assessment
on improved and unimproved property
in the town from the present basis Of
one-third full value on improved and
two-thirds on unimppoveH to one-fourth
and three -fOurths. respectively Although
the instructions would not involve a
radical change. Mr.. Lewton supported
his motion with purely single-tax argu-
ments. incidentally rallying to his sup
= port many advocates of that idea. and
also calling forth unfavorable criticism
| from those members of the council who
were opposed to the plan.
Councilman l.. r.. Grabill objected to
the consideration Of the motion on the
ground that the council was not suff-
GENTLY informed on the idea to act in
tellgently. and that its passage would
have a tendency to disturb real estate
! values.
1t was explained that the assessors
W ere engaged in appraising the present
market value Of every piece Of property
in the town with unusual thoroughness.
and that when the board reports to the
proportion 1t sees at. Some Of tn g as
scssments in the town have not been

TAXATION POSITION
Iowa Congressman Declares
the District Pays Too Little for
Its Luxuries.

While Congressman Prouty Of Iowa.
believes that the taxation system and
the assessment scheme OF the District

lieves that the citizens OF the District
should be allowed some voice in the Ad-
minist ration Of purely local affairs.
Mr.. Prouty. who retires from Con-
gress on March 4. after ceaseless attacks
on the so-called "half-and-half' taxation
plan, made a vigorous defense or MS
seemingly antagonistic attitude toward
the District at a meeting Of the Mid-Ciy
Citizens Association last night

best governed city In the world. but the
residents here are not paying enough
for the luxuries and advantages they
enjoy" he said He also said that the
assessment plan here made 1t possible
to dodge taxes.

gress is: Don't attack Congress-" said
Mr.. Prouty in conclusion.
A committee comprising G. F. Butler

named to take up with the Commission.
