perienced unprecedented prosperity in
business this summer. "It has been a
big year." he says. I'VE are doing more
than three times what we did last year.
Our patrons are coming from all sec
tions of tho country. Some of those
who rode about Washington on our
cars last season came back this summer
with large parties of friends. There
seems to be rivalry to see what state or
q visit
II attribute tho marvellous crowds
this summer to the fact that tho man.
ufacture Of munitions has put q lot of
money into circulation in this country.
We find that many of our patrons have
been employed in the manufacture of
munitions. We have had moro individ-
convention like the Elks in Baltimore
and the Shriners in Buffalo are giving
us a lot of business because nearly all
of those attending the conventions
make a point of stopping of here.
The transient business has been
wonderfully good We have number
Of parties and conventions booked
ahead and 1t looks as If Washington
will be entertaining big crowds all
during the summer. The Sunday ex-
cursions are growing more popular
and bringing in thousands of persons
each week. These come particularly
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York; These are tourists that
don't do the hotels very much good.

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 1t fades, turns gray, duh and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
III the hair. Our grandmothers 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 this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other in
gradients by asking at any drug store
for 90 cent bottle of ''Wyeth s Sage
and Sulphur Compound which dark
ems the hair SO naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with "Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance of abundance.
Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem.
edy for the Disease Has
Been Found.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by Wilfred F. Root and
all druggists, gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies cost
ing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kidneys,
from which they are quickly thrown
off in a natural, healthy way.
Read what reputable physician
says about Rheuma: 81 have made a
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture of
Rhcuma, and l heartily recommend it
as remedy for all forms of rheuma-
tism. / find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and alto
gether different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed =
DR.. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
