Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Eayorite Re-
cIpe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
iustre to the hairw 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 drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
compound" you will get large bot
tie OF this famous old recipe for about
30 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it so naturally
ana evenly. You dampen a sponge
OF soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
mar disappears. and after another
application or two, your hair becomes
Faithfully dark, thick and glossy.

the last hour of business. On this
occasion 1t was Missouri Pacific stock
which led the late recovery with an
advance Of 81 points from yesterdays
close-a movement possibly merely OF
speculative origin but perhaps more
or less significant as showing the
general disposition of the market,
During most of the day, however, the
market was a duplicate of those OF
the past few days; business was
slightly more active; but changes in
price were slight, and the tendency
was to maintain the existing level.
Most of the advances worthy of notice
again occurred in the usually less act
i've industrial shares.
The conspicuous incident of the
day was again the rise OF wheat which
touched s1.45A per bushel, at Chi.
cago, as against a high level of S1-43&
yesterday and Of s1.41% on last
weeks violent advance Export pur
chases and actual shipments continue
very heavy; they have exceeded o.
100000 bushels this week by the Brad
streets estimata--an increase Of near
Iy so per cent over last year. The
really extraordinary fact is that these
purchases should be continuing in
such volume at such prices as now
prevail It may be pointed out, Incl
dentally that the weeks export of
corn has exceeded 1914 by a million
bushels

FIRE HYDRANT TOO FAR
e.sidents Of This Section Blame the
city for Not Ordering
Main Extension
Requested.

"A fire OF unknown origin practical
" destroyed two story frame resi-
dence at the corner OF oregon avenue
and Iowa street at noon today. The
distance of the house from the near
est fire hydrant. about seven blocks,
was responsible for the inability of
the fire department to prevent the
loss from becoming large.
The house, owned by William Lar
son and occupied by Charles Ander-
son. was valued by the owner at ST.
600 The loss is covered by insur-
ance amounting to $1,000 in foreign
company.
The reel Of hose laid by the West
K department, first to arrive, lacked
several blocks being long enough to
reach to the burning house. BY the
time the Sixth street department
made the long run through streets
heavy with mud, the fire had gained
a big start The roof and interior OF
the house were totally destroyed but
the walls were little damaged.
Only small amount of the furni-
ture owned by the occupant of the
house was saved.
Residents Blame City.
Residents of this district stated
that had the city granted their re-
quest. made on several occasions, to
order an extension CT the water mains
from the corner OF, Reid and streets
to this district that it would have
been possible for the fire department
to have put out this FIRE with but
slight loss to the property. The re-
quest has been made several times,
and a petition once filed, that the
mains be ordered extended from Reid
and | streets out one book on Reid
then along X street to Missouri ave-
enue. then up street and back
again TO Reid. It is. claimed that
this is the second house in this dis
trict to be practically totally destroy
eu by fire that might have been saved
had the extension been made.
The residents Of this district also
claim to see in this fire another argu-
ment In favor of an automobile fire
truck for the Sixth street station.
They say that the distance the Sixth
street trucks must travel in order to
reach fire in the west end makes 1t
impossible for horse-drawn trucks to
reach the fire in time to do mus
good.
Two Alarms This Morning.
At 7:40 this morning still alarm
was sent in from the We'll and Com
pany store on Main street. Smoke
from an overloadeds furnace In the
basement Of the Younker store, next
door, caused the alarm.
At 30 an alarm was sent in from
Twelfth and Fulton where the roof of
two-story frame house had caught
fire from defective flue. The fire
was put out by the chemical engine.
