HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
= = = : = = . : : : = . : :
duella Fuller. Reporter.D


A new and pleasing feature Of our
high school work was displayed to
the public Saturday evening in the
debate held at the Presbyterian
church between Montrose and Delta.
A week before, our team had gone to
Montrose and met their team there
and lost. However, this was the first
appearance of our debaters in pm
lie. Profiting by all their mistakes,
.ney devoted themselves to correct
ing their faults, and succeeded admir-
ably as shown by the result of the de-
bate Saturday, Delta carrying the
honors.
Montrose had entertained the Delta
team and faculty in royal fashion
when we were their guests, SO we
were not to be outdone, and the Do-
mestic Science department, assisted
by the Seniors and part of the Sopho-
more girls, arranged delightful ban
quet which they served in the base
ment of the Presbyterian church.
They had as their guests the Mont
rose debaters, faculty representatives
and the Delta debaters and alter
mates, High school faculty, members
of the school board and all the judges.
The High school mandolin club furn-
ished music throughout the banquet.
After the banquet all attended the
debate which was held in the main
part of the church. Rev. Klein acted
as chairman of the evening and Rev.
Clark, Rev. Bunch, of Montrose and
Mr. Holman, of Olathe, Mrs. Parry
and Prof Treat, of Delta, as Judges.
Delta upheld the affirmative of the
question and was represented by Her
bert Hillman, Edith Welch and Ralph
Stocker, who acted as alternates for
Buell. Crawford, the third member of
the team who was unable to appear
! Montrose had as its representatives
on the negative side, Herschel Lyon
Marie Brennecke, and Clarice Tru-
deau.
Both sides did remarkably well for
/ high school debaters, and the hearers
felt that the young people certainly
/ deserved great credit for their work.
Delta will uphold the same side of
the question in the final debate which
takes place between Gunnison and
Delta here. April 27, to determine the
/ Western Slope championship in the
debating league. Gunnison has already
defeated Montrose and Telluride. so
Delta feels that she has a foe worthy
of her best efforts, but is determined
to put her to rout if possible.
Here's to the Delta debaters.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts if your

No man or woman who eats meat

acid which excites the kidneys. they be

sluggish and fail TO hitter the waste and
poisons from the blood. then we get
sick. Nearly al rheumatism. head
aches, liver trouble. nervousness, dizzi-
ness. sIeepiessness and urinary disord-
ers come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a duh ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If the
urine is cloudy. offensive. full of sedi-
ment. irregular Of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy. take a table

breakfast and in a few days your kid

made from acid OF grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia. and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate the kidneys also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are
Using Recipe of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades. turns gray. Gull and
Iifeless, is caused by a 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
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive. 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 bottle Of ''NVyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound. which darlSens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been APP
piled. 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's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons. it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives il an appearance OF
abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound
i'm a delightful toilet requisite TO Inn
part color and a youthful appearance to
the hair. 1t is not intended for the
cure. mitigation or prevention Of dis
~ase.-AdT
