IF HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmot',er's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

GRANDMOTHER kept her hair bcauti.
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A wellknown druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two. it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

Fight Admittedly Is Between Thomp.

Hanson Of Barnes, With Thomp.

Bismarck.-Ten candida es for the
speakership Of the North Dakota
house are now on the ground, en-
gagged in a rre-session organization
struggle.
e. A. Williams of Bismarck is the
new entrant into the speakerslip con-
test and there are probabilities of still
another candidate before the day is
over.
The fight admittedly is between
Thompson of Ward, Twitchell of Cass
and Hanson OF Barns just now, with
Thompsin doubtless holding the great.
est number of votes Divet of Rich
land is active in supporting his own
candidacy, making his fight on the
basis OF rule reform.
Efforts have been made during the
past twenty-four hours to bring Ger.
man candidate into the field. This
would divorce strength from Thomp-
son and prove dangerous to his cause.
II. Freitag OF Mclean county was ap-
preached on this subject, is being pro-
posed that he make the speakership
fight on the same basis, that John Wis
hem was put into the gubernatorial
fight last year, when he was backed by
the German-American alliance.
There has been some talk of organ.
ization along sectional lines, but so
far nothing has developed. Up to this
time the fight has largely been geo.
graphical, with the west pitted against
the east.
The candidates now are composed
Of Ward, Divet of Rutland, Hanson
and Polyhar OF Barnes, Twitchell of
Cass, Burnett of Traill, Williams of
Burleigh. Hendrickson of Burke, Har.
oldson of Bottineau and Hjort of Het-

ARMoRED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found It Of
the Greatest Value in Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare.
the armored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast. silent, and
mobile. it covers a vast amount Of
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the cars are incased
in a light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
sixteenths of an inch to a quarter of
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire.. All the vulner-
able parts of the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear. and in
some of the newest cars the wheels.
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to Withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect. The cars carry light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns so
mounted that they can be swung
through complete circle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with domed roof.
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at sharp angle without
even denting the steel.-Youth's Com
panion.
