POSED AT DEAF MUTE.
CartO0nfst Now Here Visited City 99
 Years Ago on Wager.

Frank de la Mont, a cartoonist now appearing at the Amuse-U theater With Miss Frankie in a sketch, "The Artist and His Model" palmed him. self off on the people of Pine Bluff p years ago as deaf mute, later returning to explain why he did SO. The Graphic's files of 1895 show that Mir. de la Mont explained his peculiar role because of interest in deaf mutes, and wager with a friend in Kansas City. The ca.- toonist was interested in ascertain ing how deaf mutes were treated by the general public, and intimated he would pose as one to obtain the facts. His friend offered to wager that he [could not successfully carry out the role for three months. MT. de la Mont undertook to do so. and among the places he visited was Pine Bluff. A few weeks later, in Little Rock, the time having expired, he made ex- planation, and became the cartoonist of the Democrat.
 In his sketch at the Amuse-U this week, he will be seen at work, and among the pictures he will draw will be cartoons of local celebrities.

HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You Darken
 Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gradients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural col or and beauty to the hair. <
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not in- tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.-Adv.

Actually Removes Hair Roots, or Money Back! (Brand New Method; Works Like
 Magic)

To have the superfluous hairs come out, roots and all, before ones very eyes, sounds almost too good to be true. Yet many thousands of women have proved to their own satisfaction that this can be accomplished-easily, instantly, harmlessly-by means of the wonderful phelactine process.
 This method is not to be compared at all with any liquid, powder or paste, nor with electrolysis or anything else. Nothing like :. it ever originated. It causes the hairs to come out entire roots included, leaving the skin smooth and hairless as babes. Its action is so positive, so certain, ev- cry druggist sells phelactine under a money-back guarantee. It is non- odorous, non-irritating, non-poisonous "a child could safely eat it.

Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring !; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, l,lstrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.

FARMERS! You Should Keep a Bank
 Account

Farmers, as rule, keep no books or accounts. Their bank deposit books afford them a complete record of cash receipts, while the stubs of the check book are perfect record of expenses and payments. Your returned checks are the best receipts in the world, be- cause the person receiving them must endorse it, and being returned to you by the bank, they can be easily pre- served.
 Money deposited in bank is not so easily fooled away" as when carried around in ones pocket.
 Try the experiment for one year of keeping bank account and see if it does not pay you.
 A large number of the best farmers have accounts with us.
 No charge for check books.
 We are desirous of having farmers accounts. even though small, for in this locality, where mixed farming is preached and practiced. their ac- counts are sure to grow larger.
