CORRESPONDENCE
Benton High School Notes.

A fine representation from our
school attended the Parish Rally in
Bossier City last Friday and Satur-
day. We entered as many of the
events as we thought practicable, and
feel, considering everything, that
Benton High School did exceptionally
well. The occasion was thoroughly
enjoyed by all those who attended.
and we believe a great deal of good
was accomplished at this school
gathering.
Following are the events in which
we scored: Junior spelling, Calvin
Vance, first place; junior piano,
Jeanette Hi. first place; debate, Caro-
Gayle and Matte Gray Logan, Sec
ond place; chorus, Benton, second
place; junior 50-yard dash. Oracle
Burt. first place: Junior 100-yard
dash. Oracle Burt. first place; senior
shot put, Ben Jones, first place;
senior hurdles, Ben James, third
place; senior relay, Benton, third
rlace: object drawing, Clarisse Gayle,
third place.
The list of five hundred words
sent out by the Department of Edu-
cation was spelled on March goth and
3nth. with the following results:
High school-Fannie May Heifner.
Icnnie Nav Montgomery and Clotiie
Roeers-all smelling the entire list.
Grammar grades-Eula May Dennig.
Calvin Vance and Mary Pope Ogilvie
all spelled the entire list of five
hundred words. Quite large num-
her missed only one word, and there
were a good many pupils who made
an average Of 90 per cent.

Grandma's Receipe o fSage
Tea and Sulphur DarkeIls So
Naturally That Nobody
Can Tell

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, duh and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
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 val
ue 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

ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth 8 Sage
and Sulphur Compound which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. by morning the
gray hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with Wyeth g Sage and Sui
phur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
it also brings back the

Good things should be passed along.
1t is now said that few drops of a
drug called freezOne applied directly
upon a tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn, root
and all, can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost a quarter of an onnce
o. freezone can be obtained from any
drug store which is claimed to be suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from one s feet.
This is drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but dries
the moment it is applied and simply
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
or even irritating the healthy tissue or
skin.
