GRANDMA USED SAGE:
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She Mixed Sulphur with 1t to Restore
Color, Gloss, Youth
fitness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just a
few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trout
biesome. An easier way is to get a
5O-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair taking
one strand at a time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant..
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.

is IAN Alien" in which George Be-

IAN Alien"
81 reported a story once in very
big city of a man who brutally
whipped his baby while the sleigh
bells of Santa Claus reindeer tinkled
in the imagination of other children.
He narrowly escaped lynching.

when George Beban, loaded with gifts
for his little daughter, entered his
tenement lodgings and found the life

scared the conscience Of the baby

THAT scene in The Sign of the

most potent sermon to fathers, the
finest. exposition of love and tender
ness and happy expectancy and grief.
1t is reality snatched from life and

DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 22.-In
one month the most stupendous cele-
bration ever attempted in the history
of the Mississippi valley will be
started on Rock Island, midway In
the Mississippi river between the
three cities of Moline, Rock Island
and Davenport, in commemoration Of
the building of FIT. Armstrong one
hundred years ago, by the soldiers
and settlers who were the advance
guard of the march Of civilization
across the American continent.
The celebration, which will be
known as the Ft. Armstrong Centen-
NAL Celebration, will be opened at,
noon, June IS, by President Woodrow
Wilson, who by means of a special
wire direct from the island into the
executive mansion at Washington,
will press a button that will release
several thousand miniature balloons
and carrier pigeons from the clock
tower Of the U. S. arsenal storehouse
on the island. President Wilson ex-
pected to attend the opening in per-
son, but the affairs Of state which are
keeping him confined closely to his
desk, caused a change in his plans
and he notified the officers of the Ft.
Armstrong Centennial association last
week that he could not be in the tri-
cities on that date, but would be very
glad to open the huge event by cleo
trical means. All arrangements have
been completed and it is expected
that fully 100000 persons will be on
hand when the automatic spring of
the cage in which the pigeons and
balloons are confined, is released.

The workshop of Director-General
George D. Benson is one Of the most
interesting places in the tri-cities at
present, although its exact location is
a secret from the public, because the
director believes that all this part Of
the work should not be exposed to
public gaze until ready for its official
appearance. In the workshop are be-
ing built large number of gorgeous
floats to be used in the grand pageant
that will be staged on Wednesday and
Friday nights of Centennial Week.
The materials for great deal Of this

insurance companies represents the
amount received last year by injured

Large Crowd Of Both Men and Wom-

Yesterday Afternoon at the
HIppodrome Theatre.
MINISTER'S ON PLATFORM
Rev. F. 8. McAliister Presided and
Rev. F. c. Edwards Spoke,
Both FavorIns the
Movement.

The question Of equal suffrage was
discussed yesterday afternoon at a
popular meeting to a crowd which
almost filled the Hippodrome theatre.
The audience was about equally
divided with men and women; If
there was any difference, the men
were in the majority. There were
in the audience ministers, vestrymen,
elders, deacons and church trustees,
as well as business men, politicians
and the man who wanders ailmessIy
on Main street on Sunday.
Seated on the platform with the.
speaker, Gerard A. Mcdowell, was
the Rev. F. B. McAllister of the First
Baptist church, and the Rev f. C.
Edwards Of the Trinity NJ E., church.
Rev. McAllister presided and the
meeting opened with the singing of
America, Miss Anderson playing the
accompaniment The chairman said
that meeting of this sort was some
what OF an innovation in Keokuk, the
discussion of popular subject in
down town auditorium on Sunday;
that the church people generally had
been in sympathy with the meeting
was due to the importance and far
reaching influence of the subject UNI
der discussion, and that whatever
interested women was of prime i'm
portance to the church as we'll as to
the state. He declared himself to be
most heartily in favor of votes for
women. He then introduced Mr..
Mcdowell who spoke for nearly an
hour. holding the closest attention of
his hearers.

First Annual Summary of State De-
partment Has Been Made and
Shows a Loss Of
Premiums.
MANY CLAIMS UNPAID
Some Of These Are Under Work
mems Compensation Law and
Have Not Been
Settled.

The first annual report Of the state
insurance department on industrial
insurance in Iowa has been prepared
showing that losses in this state
equal 69S percent of the premiums
received.
The year of 1915 was the first
twelve-month period for which the
insurance companies reported to the
state on industrial insurance written
in this state under the workmen's
compensation law. The report for
1914 was for six months only, and
for period when the workmens
compensation law was just getting
under way.
Premiums Total $66s,33
The 1915 report, boiled down, fol-
lows: Premiums received for indus
trial insurance in Iowa, $668,333;
premiums earned, s3s1,79O; losses
paid, $115,3O0; loss expenses, $780,
945; reserve for unpaid losses and
expenses, $132,616. This shows the
companies paid 35.6 percent of the
earned premiums for losses. The
losses paid and unpaid were 69.8 per-
cent of the earned premium.
Commissions paid for placing the
business amounted to $S3.937, or 1875
percent. The state permits the COM
panies to go no higher than IS per-
cent in commissions. The most of
the companies had fair margin in
this respect.
Mutual insurance organization con-
nected with the Iowa. State Manufac-
turcrs' association made the best
showing with regard to commissions.
1t paid only nine-tenths of l percent
in commissions for placing business.
Many of the claims are reported as
unpaid or unadjusted for the reason
that workmen drawing benefits, in
many cases, are still incapacitated
and the extent of the loss has not
been determined.
