Elsie Van Trevor had gone to their
bungalow at the seashore and taken

Welshman was cataloguing the books

He missed his wife greatly. 1t was
their first separation. Somehow he

there were to be house parties and all

to be invited for day or two.
Somewhere a bell had been ringing
furiously all the morning. The little
Welshman' wondered where it could
be. He threw up the window and
looked out Suddenly a violent pain
shot through his head, as if knife
had pierced him. The bell was in his
own head And the pain was stab

1908 some months in America. He
greatly distinguished himself at Ok.

conceivable.
The state of the present and the
future is Il cooperative organization,

the largest degree of personal devel-

bolized by the schoolhouse, the good
road, the lighted street, and the SAN

These ends can, no doubt, be best
and most surely attained by suffrage
extended to include all persons OF ma

insure an intelligent and uncorrupt

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingIy, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

FEW FOLKS
HAVE GRAY
HAIR NOW
Well known local druggist says every
body is using old-time recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when il fades, turns gray, dull and
| lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a 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 this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair SO naturally, SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dan
druff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it 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, it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of album
dance.-Adv.

alleged breach of promise to marry,

Did James w. Osborne, famous

sip noodle soup in the apartments of
Miss Rae Tanner until his heart was
full? And did that noodle soup have
upon Mr.. Osborne the same effect
that tomato sauce had upon Mr..
