The road here was straight as n string
stretched tight. Far down it. they saw
single small light. dancing toward them
q foot or two above the ground.
Peter threw off his clutch. clapped on
his brakes and stopped short. Narney slid
out Of the seat and stood waiting in the
black inkiness beside the unlightcd car.
In the sudden stiffness they could hear
the rattle Of the bicycle chain and even
the crunch Of the hard blown tires. spin
ming rapidly over the road. Now the
light was perhaps a hundred yards away.
BLOW! " whispered Farney.
The horns honk cut the silent air
hoarsely. Instantly the speed of the on
coming light was checked. 1t advanced
steadily, but much more slowly as though
the rider sensed that his road might be
blocked. but could not yet determine where
the hidden obstacle might be.

There was no answer. The light came
on more slowly still. Now it was nifty

this STOPS HAIR
FROM FAILING OUT

Ever count the dead hairs in your
comb and brush? They are natures
warning of future badness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is
busy on your scalp.
DIR. Sangerbund, the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dandf
ruff and falling hair are caused by a
microbe. Then came the discovery OF
the value of the real Partisan Sage
(iquid form in destroying the dand-
ruff germ and promptly preventing
the further loss Of hair. The effect OF
only three days iuse of Parisian Sage
is simply marvellous, and the American
people have now awakened to the fact
that they can be quickly rid OF dand-
ruff and save their hair By using Paris
ian Sage. ,s..e -,.s., e..-og v
Partisan Sage is sold by William L.
Gokay and good druggists everywhere
It's inexpensive, daintily perfumed,
free from sickness, and will surely
cause hair to grow soft, lustrous and
really seem twice as abundant.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every
body is using old-time reci7e Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
| lifeless Is caused by lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for 80 cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound. which darkens the hair SO
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with 1t and draw this through your
hair. taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies'
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appli-
cations, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
OF abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful appear
ance to the hair. 1t Is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
Of disease

DRAWING TO A CLOSE

Huron, S. d, Sept. 3-Yesterday's
mail brought to the South Dakota Di-
rect Legislation headquarters, here,
requests for copies of the amended
Richards primary election law for
twelve public Libraries in the East.
The fifteenth campaign year for the
enactment of this measure, into law
by a direct vote of the people under
the initiative and referendum has just
opened. This measure. which carried
in 1912 and which the people refused
TO repeal by a second vote in 1914,
but which was repealed by the legis-
lature OF 1915, is to be voted upon
again for the third time in it's amend
ed form at the coming November cleo
ton, 1918. The state of South Da-
kota was the first state in the union
to adopt the constitutional initiative
and referendum, soon after which the
initiative for the proposed Richards
primary election law was invoked and
continued as the first attempt at di-
rect legislation.
