Naturally that Nobody

Hair that loses It's color and lustre.
or when il fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeiess, is caused by a lack of sui
pf1ur in the hair. Our grandmother
made I'D a 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 attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for 5o-cent bottle Of
'sWyeth,s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair SO
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell 1t has been applied.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears: but what delights the

Compound, is that, besides beautiful
" Gardening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the

IOWA BUILDING
STILL STANDS
Hawkeye Home at Chicago Worlds
Fair is Part of Ornaments to
Lake Front

Many Iowa readers may be interest
ed in knowing that the official head
quarters of the Hawkeyes at the
worlds exposition at Chicago in 1893
is yet in daily use in Jackson park,
and enjoys the distinction of being
one o, only three or four of the
structures of that big show that are
still in existence.
OF the others the Art institute, now
in dilapidated condition, still houses
a portion Of the exhibits that await
removal to the Field museum in Lake
Front park One or two of the for
eign buildings are yet in use.
The Iowa building is of permanent
construction. and has a history dat
ing back further than most people
know. For many years before the
worlds fair the lakeward end of the
structure was known as the Shelter"
The pavilion furnished a place for
dancing, and little children romped
there on rainy days. Iowa was sec
ond in the list of states to apply for
space on the grounds. and was first
assigned to another location. A
change was made, and she was given
this, the only state site on the lake
shore.
The park commissioners would not
permit the costly Shelter to be pull
ed down, SO the architects, Joselyn &
Taylor Of Sioux City, set about the
task OF charging the low rustic pa
wilton. Mr. Joselyn was OF an an
cient French family. In examining
some old heirloonls one day he chanc-
ed upon a plan whereby he could
easily enlarge the building to repro
duce the Chateau de Joselyn. his
toric structure then standing in his
native country. The permission OF
the commissioners being secured. he
set about designing replica of the
chateau OF his ancestors. The Iowa
building was the result. Its area be-
came 60z223 feet with twe-story
west end, though preserving the ap-
pearance OF the original one-story
building. The interior was beautiful
" decorated with cereals, and a coal
palace" vas also feature. The cost
was SS5. 900.
Thus the Iowa building grew out OF
the original Shelter" and the struc-
ture stfll stands TO pe-petuate the en-
terprise of the Hawkeyes, and 1t Is
beeufifu1 and useful ornament to the
panoramic view Of the north shore
