Who Gets the Casket?

The few officials, deputies and clerks who were at the capitol were amused at the apparent coincidence connected with the arrival of large package at the office of the State Bank Department. It contained a sample glass casket, manufactured by the American Glass Casket Company of Ada, Okla. The company applied for permission to sell s50,000 of it's stock in the state and sent sample of it's products to the bank commissioner for examination.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR ID ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an OId-time Recipe that Any
 body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect.
 But brewing at homo is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of ..Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two. it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 A Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com. pound is Q delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis, ease.-Adv.

SEVERAL IMPORTANT MEASURES TO BE SUBMITTED AT THE
 NOVEMBER ELECTION.
EDMONDSOk MAY LEAD FIGHT
May Head Movement to Secure Re- peal of Act No. 3, Known as Pub licity Act, Which Was Ratified
 By Voters Two Years Ago.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Now that the Democratic state prI- mary is an event of the past. the at tention of the voters of the state will be directed to the initiation of sev- eral important measures to be sub. mitted at the coming November cleo ton, chief among which is the pro posed act providing for new primary election law.
 Petitions seeking to initiate this measure will be placed is circulation at once by former Congressman $. Brundidge of Searcy, who. with other prominent Democrats, is at the head of the movement to give Arkansas a primary election law that will make 1t almost impossible to defeat the will of the people at future primaries in this state.
 It is reliably reported that meas. ures seeking to repeal several of the drastic anti-railroad laws passed by the last two or three Legislatures will also be initiated in the coming state election. There is also some talk of submitting a bill to repeal the statewide prohibition law.
 The large vote cast by Judge l.. C. Smith in the recent primary has en- couraged the local option people 10 such an extent that they will make every effort to initiate the repeal of the prohibition act passed by the last Legislature.
 Petitions seeking to initiate statu- tory provisions must be placed in CIT culation during the next few weeks, in order to have them on file in the secretary of states office in time for certifcation to the various county election boards.
 Senator Edmondson, while in Little Rock a few days ago. stated that he would very likely head a movement to secure the repeal of Act No. 3, known as the publicity act. which was rati- fled by the voters two years ago. and came within an inch of being repealed by the last Legislature. Senator Ed monson led the fight for its repeal in the last State Senate.

Sudden Death Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. When kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs and the per son dies, and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs.
 It is good insurance against such risk to send 10 cents for a large trial package of "Anuric"-the latest discovery of Dr. Pierce. When you suffer from backache. frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling. get "Anuric" at the druggist. It's 37 times more potent than lithia, dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.
