GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
1t at home, which is mussy and trou-
blesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wythe's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old time recipe improv-
ed by the addition of other ingred-
tents for about so cents. Everybody
uses this preparation now, because no
one can possibly tell that you darken-
ed your hair as 1t does it so natural
ly and evenly. You 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, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wythe's
Sage and Sulphur Compound Is de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t Is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

Word was received here Tuesday

plunged head first to the ground,

kicked his foot, striking the man in
the neck just over the jugular vein.
Considerable blood was drawn, but it
was apparently only from an abra-

was some danger to the jugular vein,
doctor was telephoned for. Before
his arrival the patient had recovered
consciousness and gone on his way.

MAY Endorse Hughes.

LANSING, Mich, May "a condi-
tional endorsement Of Charles e.
Hughes, for the republican presiden-
tial nomination was in prospect when
Michigan republicans assembled In
state convention here today. The
movement for endorsement of the
New York jurist sprang up unexpect-
eddy over night and there was some
hint that the plan might disrupt an
otherwise harmonious gathering.
Opposition to the movement was
expressed by some delegates who be-
lieved that the result Of the Michigan
presidential preference primary
should be rigidly adhered to and that
Henry Ford should be given the
vote of the Michigan delegation.
Those backing the Hughes boom,
however, urged that Ford had pub
licly released all delegates and had
asserted repeatedly that he was not
q candidate.

BORN IN NAUVOO
MANY YEARS AGO
Louis Wolf Who Died There on Tues
day, Had Been Resident for
Sixty-seven Years.

| NAUVOO, ILL.,, May 3.-Louis Wolf
who conducted a shoe store with his
son John in Nauvoo, died Tuesday
morning, May 2, at his residence In
this city. He was sixty-seven years
! old.
His wife and family were at his
bedside when death came. They had
not expected death to enter their
home so suddenly, for Mr.. Wolf was
apparently we'll until the evening be-
fore, when he became very i'll and a
physician was sent for, and he grew
gradually worse. Between nine and
ten o'clock Tuesday morning he
passed away, an affectation OF the
kidneys causing his death.
Mr. Wolf was product of Nauvoo.
He was born and raised here, but in
early manhood he left Nauvoo to
learn the shoemaking trade. After an
absence of several years he returned
to Nauvoo and followed the business
and opened a retail shoe house. which
he conducted up to the time of his
death.
In the early eighties he was mar
ried to Miss Louise Tanner, Maui
VOC lady, who with son and daugh-
ter survive. The children are John,
who lives at home and Mrs. A. j.
Schneider, also Of Nauvoo.
Mr.. Wolf was one of Nauvoo's
most respected citizens and had q
host of friends here who were grieved
to hear of his almost sudden demise.
He also leaves a brother, Peter Wolf
of Weokuk, and two half-sisters who
reside IN Nauvoo, to mourn his
death.
The funeral will probably occur
Thursday or Friday, no definite ar
rangements having been made.
