SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother recipe to bring
color, lustre and youthfulness to
hair when faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundredfold.
Don bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous cid
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for so cents a large
bottle, all ready for use. 1t is called
Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound,
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lus
j tire of your hair.
! Everybody uses "Wyeth 81 Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
piled. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after an
| other application it becomes beauti
fully dark and appears glossy an,
! lustrous. This ready prepare
ton is delightful toilet requisite 70
those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or proven
tion of disease.

indicates that the German government

INSURANCE COMPANIES GUT.
New South Carolina Law Causes Sixty
Seven Firms to Withdraw.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 22-Prae-
tically ali of the 81 fire insurance com
panies that have been doing business
IN South Carolina, have withdrawn
from the state, because of the anti-eom-
pact law that goes into effect tomorrow.
Policies now in effect viii not be can
celied, it is said, but no new business
will be written while the new law is in
force, it is announced by the dis
gruntled insurance men The decision
to withdraw from the state was
reached by the higherups in the in
surance world, at . meeting in New
York
The new law in South Carolina pro-
hibits the organization of fire insur-
ance companies to maintain uniform
charges or rates in the state. The in
surance men also object to another law
that went into effect March i, impos-
ing an annual license fee of S25 on
agents for each company they repre-
sent, and taxing single agents four pei
cent on all premiums paid in to them
Insurance Commissioner McMaster
the hacker of the new legislation, has
appealed to the federal government foi
an investigation. This, it is said, the
companies VIII welcome The joint &c
ton of the insurance companies in re
fusing to write further business il
South Carolina practically ties up tbs
insurance of the state, and to bring
relief there is a movement on foo
for the repeal of the law. Kentuck,
and Missouri have both been through
fights with the FIRE Insurance com
panies, and these states repealed tn
radical legislation and appointed com
missioners to frame insurance codes.

OPPOSE NATIONAL
FORESTS IN VERMONT
State Forestry Association Gives Tax
alton Loss and Other Reason for
Opposition.

RUTLAND, March 22.-The exec
ptiye committee of the state fores-
trv association went on record last
night as unaIterably opposed to the
plans for national forests within the
state of Vermont. The grounds as
signed are those of taxation loss re-
sultine therefrom but there are other
reasons which will be discussed more
fully at the next annual meeting OF
he association.
The meeting was held at the Ber-
wick hotel last evening. Those pres
ent were Ernest Hitchcock, presi-
dent; ex-Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher,
Amos t. Eaton, James Hartness and
State Forester Halves.
Roderiek Olzendam was elected see
retary-treasurer in place of r. NJ.
Gibson. resigned. Frank Plumley W IS
elected a member of the executive
committee to fill the vacancy caus ID
by the death of Joseph A. DeBoer
1t was decided to hold the next an
nual meeting in the summer near one
of the state forests, the time and
lace to be decided upon by the state
forester.
The question of the taxation of for.
est lands was discussed at some
length, and the president was author
lied to appoint committee of three
to study the matter and report at
the annual meeting. 1t is hoped that
this committee will be abue to lay be-
fore the Legislature a practical bill
to relieve the present serious condi-
tion.
The matter of national forests foi
Vermont was discussed and it was
the unanimous opinion of those pres
emf that it is not for the best inter
ests of the state that national forests
be established with its bound. L
was felt that the loss Of taxes result
ing to the towns thereby would he
serious objection. 1t was bel evet
that the best interests of the stat,
would be subseryed by the establish
ment of large state forests, viii
would in time yield a cons;derabl
revenue to the state, that would be o
! material aid in running the expense
of the state and towns. Other objee
tons to national forests were men
toned This subject will be brough
MP for further discussion at the an
nual meeting of the association.

threatening Fire at J. D. Makers

Threatening Fire at J. D. Makers
The community was startled las;
week Thursday evening at the alarm
of fire which came by telephone from
J. d. Maher s, whose farm lies q little
outside the village limit. The family
were eating supper about 7.45 when
they heard the swapping of burning
wood, but could not locate it at once.
Chopping hole in the wall with an
axe, the fire was found 10 be the
worst in q partition in the parlor, out
side a chimney, above where formerly
there was q fireplace which had been
closed up. The lath was burning, and
some Of it was torn off and water
thrown on AS men arrived from the
village with chemical fire extinguish-
ers the fire was thought to be under
control, but they discovered more fire
running in partitions, which they eX-
tinguished. After those who came to
help had gone it blazed out again, SO
that watch was kept all night ana
the chimney was 9 long time cooling
off. All the wood around the fireplace
in the parior had to be torn out to the
floor.
Mr.. Maher and family greatly appre-
ciate the help rendered. There was no
defect whatever in the chimney. The
r stovepipe in the room over the dining
room burned out the week before and
blazed out into the chimney, but nc
harm appeared to have been done. I
is thought that sparks or bits of hot
SCOT dropped down into the bottom Of
the chimney and smouldered there al
that time. There was insurance on thu
!, building.

STOCK MARKET
SUFFERS SLUMP
News from Mexico Causes F all
ing Of in AllPhases Of Deal
ings in Wall Street.

New York, June 19-Orders to mobilize
the National Guard was sufficient to
emphasize the acute stage finally reached
IN the Mexican crisis, and to make Wall
Street reflect through the stock market
today a more serious view Of the pos
sibilities Of belligerency than 1t has held
at oqy time since Mexican affairs be-
came menacing three years or more ago.
The upshot OF the developments over the
weekend was a weak stock market ses-
sion resulting from speculative sales for
both accounts. Transactions were on an
expanded scale. although they failed to
constitute a record of remarkable
activity
The course of prices after some initial
The period Of most pronounced weakness
was in the last hour. Some rally took
place toward the close, presumably the
result of short covering purchases, but
the final tone was heavy, and the day
made a uniform array Of more or less
substantial declines.
Rails and industrials Jared pretty much
alike in the dealings, but somewhat
curiously stocks OF war munition con-
Germs were among the weakest.
Scattered liquidation from a nervous
and rather shaky speculative long ac-
count in the commission houses was
obviously responsible for the bulk Of
the pressure on the share list, but it
was stimulated by trading operations for
the decline.
Practically nothing else was discussed
or noted than the Mexican crisis during
the Wall Street day.

Mexico Upsets Market.

The operations of the New York eX-
change are described in the following
telegram to w. B. Hibbs & Co, brokers
In many directions drastic declines
were recorded. The critical state of our
relations with Mexico was primarily re-
sponsible for the unsettlement The top
heavy condition of the long interest in
the industrial department was distinctly
apparent. II industrial conditions were
normal which is to say II productive ca
pacity were employed only TO the ex-
tent Of say ~ or IS per cent of the maxi
mum, then in a measure 1t might be con-
cluded that Mexican intervention would
he bullsh on some of the shares of man
ufacturinG concerns, but when 1t is con-
sdered that production is now at high
tide, II seems to us a reasonable assump-
tion that contracts for domestic account
could only he filled at the expense OF our
export business. Then, too. public senti-
ment would be much against the payment
by the American government OF fancy
prices for munitions. and in addition II is
quite prOba BILE that the United States
v ould claim for itself products otherwise
intended for export Therefore the in
dustriaI prospect has suddenly become
clOuded and we continue to adhere to
the view that liquidation Is advisable,
and that high grade rails should be sub
stituted for Issues of other kinds.
