SCHOOLS
+. CLOSE SECOND IN
ANNUAL TRACK MEET
GREATLY HANDICAPPED BY RE-
CENT OUTBREAK OF MEASLES
IN SCHOOLS

Belding schools lost first place in
the annual interscholastic field and
track meet in Ionia last Saturday by
two points. Had the full quota of
athletics from Belding been in the
meet local athletics feel certain that
results would have been strong in
Belongs favor. The recent epidemic
of measles in the schools depleted the
athletic force to such an extent that
many participants were not up to
the usual strength and still others
were unable to be in the meet at all.
The absence Of Altenburg particular
ly deprived the local schools of sew
eral points they would have been sure
of winning. Then, too, the several
events were staged in a succession
that prevented the local participants
resting at any time.
The list of winnings, in which Ionia
took 81 points and Belding 40, fol-
low:
Ray Coon, of Ionia won the medal
for high individual point winner with
Pan points and Altenburg of Belding,
was second, with liz points. Ralph
Hall lowered the mile run record from
5:09h to 4:0515; Moon of Bedding,
broke the pole vault record, raising it
from nine feet, 71s inches to nine feet,
81 inches. Summaries:

HOUSE OF DAVID EVAN
GElISTS WERE HERE

The blouse of David" evangelists
have been in the city this week and
held a street meeting Friday night.
The party consisted of three: Mr..
and Mrs. Forrest Lanico and Charles
Ross. They style themselves Israel
ties of the House of David" and their
mission at this time is to warn the
people to prepare for the Second
coming of Christ"
Mr. Ross says that the end of the
six thousand years of the rule of the
devil and hell upon earth is just clos
ing and the second coming" is near
when Christ will rule the world, heav-
en- will be on earth and not millions
of miles away in boundless space.
Mr. Kiss is a good speaker and his
long hair and beard makes him a
striking figure.
Mrs. Lanico also spoke and told of
their house Of David colong at Benton
Harbor from where they came. Their
members never cut their hair nor
shave, their belief being that to do so
is not in accordance with the custom
of Christ and the teachings of the
scripture. Literature was distributed
and books of their belief were offered
for sale, but no collection was taken.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair dark and glossy at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back'the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at nome, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays We simply ask at any drug
store for ~ yeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie for about so cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

ours. The taxes ought to increase as
the work progresses. But with the
convicts for the rough labor and
