Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
TRY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD FA-
VORlTE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell what you darken
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
strang at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another az
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or proven
ton of disease,

Why does the fire burn low?
Why a continual tanning,
To keep the embers aglow?
You've reaped the wheat from the

On the poor naught bestow;
You have not the Masters spirit,
His passion you do not know.
Why does the fire burn low, brother?

Why continual tanning,
To keep the embers aglow?
Put on the fuel Of service,
The incense of prayer bestrew,
And no one then will be asking,
Why does the fire burn low?

mind right then and there who had
flown into Mrs. Mousies window and
taken that pin out Of her pincushion.

One Way to Got a Husband.

William Kenrick. Berkshire gentle.
man OF a hundred years ago, left his
property, which was considerable, to
an only daughter. This young lady
had mind Of her own and, finding
none of her suitors to her liking. simply
determined to wait until the right
gentleman should come along.
1t SO happened that one day she ali
tended wedding at Reading. where
she met a young gentleman named
Benjamin Child. He was poor at
torney. With this handsome young man
the younger lady fell violently in love
but still she was cautious. She rea-
soned with herself for several days,
trying to shake herself free OF the
sudden passion, but all in vain. Then.
feeling that something must be done.
but unable, from confusion of mind. to
devise proper course, she took the
extraordinary step of sending the
young man letter demanding salts
faction for alleged injuries. She ap-
pointed time and place for the hos
tile meeting. Mr.. Child was much
surprised, and quite at loss to con-
ceive who the challenger could be. By
the advice Of friend. he decided to
go to the dueling place. Here he was
met by the young woman, who. much
to his surprise, told him he would have
&c Asht her or marry her. He natural
ly chose the latter. and. - the saying
goes they lived happily ecvr afterward.

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Last week, Don Sherman said an
idiot drove past his store at dusk, I'm
big velie at 35 miles an hour, yet our
ordinances and signs say cars should
run Is in town. We all break the law,
but not all go 35, miles an hour IN
many towns we see s!gns indicating
that a school house Is in the vicinity.
That means, look out for the children.
why not put up signs on each Side pt
the Lincoln school and the wallace
school, warning people to slow up? 1t
would cost little. and it has some effect
Nobody who is not a fiend wants to
hurt a child and this is additional
precaution. The other schools are MOI
in similar danger. because they are not
on streets where cars run so tast. OUT
1t would be a good thing to place Signs
near every school house advising folks
where the schools are. And then en-
force the speed ordinances. The writer
drives only a Ford but exceeds the
limit, also, altho not as much as many
others. But If he is guilty let him pay
his fine the same as the rest.
There is no use in making flesh OF
one and fowl of the other. All that
are guilty should be soaked. to the
limit, we have been very lax IN tins
town. Our mayor started out rlght
week before last. to clean up the
speed demons. Let him keep it up
and he will be the most popular mayor
we ever had. Something has TO De
DONE Ask the people on the two worst
streets. and see if we are exaggeratlns.
They tell us about it. They see 1t every
day. People with little folks about the
house, are never easy. while the auto
mobile season is on and there Is no
cal, for 1t. It can be stopped. 1t should
be stopped. When you see driver ACT
the fool call him down. Tell the Officers
about It. No danger OF getting any
body who is driving recklessly from
necessity. There are times when the
speed law rs broken. in an emergency
but not once in a thousand times, ls
there an emergency. We hope every
business man, will see the fairness OF
this suggestion. Why not let the
Business Mems Association or the
Commercial Club or both take action IN
this matter? Think 1t over.

Where Is it?' asked the old lady

rabbit. and then Old Mother Mischief
flew away to the Brier Patch as fast
as she could, but what she said to Mr..
