day afternoon beginning al 2 o'clock

in charge of the affair, and per-
sons Wishing to assist in n way may

The Soldiers Aid society was or
ganized last year to assist the Grand
Forks military companies that were
sent to the Mexican border, and they
are continuing the work that they be-
gan at that time. Inasnluch as the
purpose of their organization fs differ
ent than that of the Red Cross chap
ter, they decided at a meeting held
some time g to retain their individ-
ual standing. and continue the work
Of assisting the local men who are
called into service. Many members Of
the Soldiers Aid society have affiliat-
ed themselves with the Red Cross
chapter, and are dividing their patri-
otto service among the two, but the
organizations are distinctly separate,
the former devoting its work entirely
to the local field.
The funds resulting from the food
sale on Saturday will be held in readi-
ness for emergency purposes, which
MAJ arise from the sudden calling
out of the Grand Forks military COM
panies. =

 TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,
 gloss and usefulness.

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 Sulphur recipe at home, though is troublesome. An easier way is to get a 50-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
 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 a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one 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 luxufiant.
 This preparation is delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
