When Church beat Kumagae on Thurs

day when he clearly outplayed the old

The first question that every follower
OF the game will ask this morning is
"Was Mclaughlin really on his game:
was he w to his old form" and that
Is a diihcult question for Even the

GIRLS ENJOY CHICKEN FARM
They Were Stenographers in Chicago,

Chicago.-Miss Gertrude Croxton
and Miss Rose May have discovered
the joy of life. Four years ago they
lived at Forty-fifth street and Indiana
avenue. They were stenographers and
they found life just one sheet of paper
after another, without much else.
They dropped the whole tiresome
mess and went to a spot outside of
Blue Island. They call it Woodside.
And there they manipulate a chicken
farm that keeps them in zest from one
years end to the other.
1--WE have bought one hat apiece
since we came here" said Miss Crox-
ton. They cost thirty cents each.
Clothes? We never use them. We
wear overalls, and we never have &C.
casion to dress. We work, and we
like it. We go to Chicago once a year
on business. Then we hurry back. We
sleep five hours a night in winter
and less In summer. We are busy all
the time-and healthy. We are only
sorry we delayed coming here"

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN It !
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeths Sage and Sulp hur
Compound" for about so cents bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is "a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful APP
pearance. 1t is not intended for the cure.
mitigation or prevention of disease.
