that is out to serve its customers and
to give them value received for every

It is a healthy indication to see
that newspapers all over the country
are placing themselves on a thorough
business basis. 1t mean a better
day. not only for them, but for the
general public. It not only enables
the newspaper to have and maintain
self respect, but it gives it a rating
and a general standing, before the
public that it could never have were
it to be governed by any other prin-
ciple. There is nothing wrong in
being strictly business, not only in
the conduct of a newspaper, but in
managing the affairs of even church
es. There are churches all vel the
country that have failed to accom-
plish what they might easily have
accomplished had they not gotten in
to their heads, the idea that religion
was inconsistent and incompatible
with business principles.-Green-

. The affairs of a county need only
that business attention which the or
binary business man gives to his own
business to put it on a better basis.
The old ideas in farming employed
by our fathers are being discarded
and better plans are being adopted.
The lands are being taken care of
where formerly they were allowed
to 90 to waste while other lands
were being cleared up. The farmers
are making great progress in the
manner of cultivating the lands, and
in the great farming sections of the
county, there is room for improve
ment in the manner of working
roads. We must get away from what
is cumbersome and improbable and
look forward to some practical plan
which will serve the ends of the
people.
It is a time to think about these
matters. The present supervisor has
something more than two years to
serve. He is entitled to serve out
the time for which he has been elect
d. But this need not deter the PEG.
pie from taking steps to improve
matters when that time arrives. II
a different system is to be adopted
for our county affairs, it should be
provided in advance.

25 CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair! Make 1t Thick,
Wavy and Beautiful!
Try This!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of neglected
scalp, of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It. robs the hair
of it's lustre, its strength and it's very
life, eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shriken, loosen and die then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dander
inc tonight-now-any time-will
surely save your hair.
Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toi-
let counter, and after the first appli-
cation your hair will take on that life,
Ilustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss and
softness, but what will please you
most will be after just few weeks
use, when you will actually see lot
of fine, downy hair-pew hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp. 2

Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Attractiveness.
Common garden sage brewed into
g heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation If your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easiest way is to
get 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 ad-
dition 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 damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
cne small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two.
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful toi-
