A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her
Gray Hair and Stimulated Its,

Home Process. -
She Tells How She Did 1t.

A well-known resident of Kansas
City, Mo-, who darkened her gray hair
by simple home process, made the
following statement: ANY lady or
gentleman can darken their gray OF
faded hair, stimulate its growth and
make it soft and glossy with this SIM
pie recipe, which they can mix at
home. To half pint of water add o.
of bay rum, small box Barbo Com
pound and u OF. of glycerine. These
ingredients can be purchased at any
drug store at very little cost. Apply
to the hair every other day until the
gray hair is darkened sufficiently
This mixture relieves itching and is
excellent for dandruff. 1t does not
stain the scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off. 1t will make a
gray-haired person look 10 to 20 years
younger" -Advertisement.

Auto Thief Comes
To Grief at Tekamah

Tekamah, Neb., Nov. 22,-(Special.)
The first automobile theft has been
recorded in Tekamah, but the thief
came to grief within few minutes
after he had taken the car. While
Raymond Beaver was attending even
ing services at the Baptist church the
thief cranked up his car and pro-
ceeded to make a getaway. He was
evidently stranger to the streets OF
Tekamah for he attempted to get out
of Tekamah on street crossing the
creek at a place where there is no
bridge. He went over the embank-
ment about twenty feet down and
landed in the middle of the creek. The
car landed right side up and without
damage to the machine. The thief,
it would seem, was not badly injured,
for he got away before those who had
been aroused by the crashing of the
machine could get an opportunity to
investigate. A black cap was all that
was left of the victim of the ride into
the creek.

their pain and sting can't survive the
gentle use of this liniment. A single
application of Sloan's Liniment and

relieved.

Pool Refuses to
Send Auto Plates
To Treasurers

Aurora, Neb,, Nov. 22.-(Special.)
County Treasurer Frank L. Nc
Carly has just returned from a con-
ference in Lincoln with Secretary Of
State Charles w. Pool over the issu-
ance of automobile number plates and
he will not issue those plates to the
1000 automobile drivers in Hamilton
county as he had planned,
Mr.. McCarty had understood
through his negotiations with the sec
rotary of states Office that he could
have the number plates for the auto
mobile owners of this county at the
rate of ii cents apiece. He expected
to ship them to Aurora by freight and
sell them to the automobile owners
at IS cents apiece, thereby netting to
Hamilton county a neat profit for
doing this business.
However, when he went to Lincoln
to complete his negotiations with Sec
rotary Pool, the latter informed him
that the plates would cost him IS
cents apiece; that it was his intention
to issue these~plates separately from
the secretary of states office.
The law provides that the county
treasurer, from any registration fees
for automobiles, shall send IS cents
of each fee to the state treasurer to
be placed in the fund known as "spe-
cial motor vehicle registration fund"
Out of this fund, the secretary of
state pays the expenses connected
with the purchase and disbursement
of number plates, The cost of num-
Der plates, as figured by Mr.. Nc
Carly and the secretary of states Of
flee, was about II cents. If the county
could buy 1000 plates at II cents
each and receive IS cents apiece for
them, it would mean profit of $3.50,
and the work could practically all be
done without any additional help in
the county treasurer's Office.
1t is estimated that the postage on
each, plate will be at least cents,
which will make total postage bill
for the 1000 plates equal to 500.
Mr.. McCarty figures the freight bill
from Lincoln to Aurora on these
plates would be not to exceed 81.

These pleasant little tablets do the
