New Albany.-The second disastrous

than half a hundred head Of mules
cremated in the Stephenson livery
barn. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000.
The fire was discovered about mid,
night IN the Stephenson livery barn,
which occupies a large tract Of land
Immediately adjoining the main bust

such good Roadway that 1t rapidly

Gently shipped to the city. Most OF
these were taken from the barn be-
fore the fire entirely "nyeloped It, but
an estimate placed the loss at 60 head.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA

She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also enis dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle OF the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t does 1t 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
