il. HoWerton Will Have
Typewriter EXCHANGE

J. L. Howerton, new manager of
the Central Typewriter Exchange,
has watched the steady growth of
this concern since 'its infancy IF
teen years ago. While associated
with two of the leading typewriter
companies at Kansas City and Sc
attic he noted their progressiveness,
and has seen them develop from a
humble beginning to the largest and
most frequently quoted typewriter
exchange west Of Chicago.
Mr.. Howerton, after several ef-
forts, finally secured a share in this
business, and has spent several
weeks in the east assembling a great
surplus stock of typewriters and re-
adjusting the rental end of the bust
ness which augmented this assem-
blage to a marked degree.
Mr.. Howerton comes to Omaha
backed by rs years of active exper-
fence in the typewriter world. His
knowledge of the typewriter bust
ness from every angle and his wide
acquaintance throughout the entire
country is looked upon as valuable
asset to the Central Typewriter ex-
change and their patrons.

AN old RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur makes
streaksd, faded or gray hair dark
and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings
back the natural color and lustre to the
hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home. which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask 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 addi-
ton of other ingredients, at very little
cost. Everybody uses this preparation
now. because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it so
naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two. your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requisite.
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.-Adv.

USE THRIFT STAMPS
 AS ATTORNEYS FEES
OLIVER TYPEWRITER COMPANY ACTS FAvoRA8LY UPON sUG- GESTiON MADE BY Q. s. PLUM MFR OF THIS CITY,

Several weeks ago D. s. Hummer, well known young attorney of this city. wrote to the Oliver Typewriter Company, Chicago, H., with which institution MT. Hummer has exten- sive professional relations in looking after reports of credit, sug- gesting that the company consider the idea of paying attorneys in thrift stamps instead of by check. The suggestion appealed to the company with the result that in future thrift stamps will be used in making re- mittances to attorneys. MT. Plum mer' has just received the following letter from W. B. Stewart, director of country sales for the Oliver Com. pany:
 with further reference to your correspondence in the matter of us- ing thrift stamps for remunerating attorneys for credit reports:
 T am very much gratified to be able to say to you that we have de. cided to try this out and within the next few days we will commence remitting to attorneys in this form
 Ours is a very large business, as you perhaps know. We are inclined to believe that before the end of this camcaign, December 31. that our remittances in this form will amount to good many thousand dollars.
 Tt is a matter of courtesy to you to say that it was your suggestion that first led us to give considera. tion to this matter, and we naturally believe that you will be gratified to learn of our decision, as some real good will undoubtedly be accom- plished."

CYPERT ANNOUNCES
 FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE
DISTINGUISHED MAN OF WHITE COUNTY IS MAKING VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN FOR IMPORTANT JU DlcIAL POSITION.

Judge Eugene Cypert of Searcy. White county. one of the most dis tinguished citizens and ablest law yers in this judicial circuit, spent Wednesday in Marianna and while here placed his formal announce ment in the Courier-Index as can didate for circuit judge. Several years ago Judge Cypert made the race for judge and was defeated by the abnormally large vote boiled against him in Phillips county, dur ing the election when Brundidge was det-auded out of the governorship.

Since the death of his father in 1913, the junior Cypert has practiced law alone. Prior to that time he was associated with his father. Judge Cypert's practice extends over a period of thirty years. He served as judge If White county from 1898 until 1904, ana is now a member of the constitutional convention as a delegate from White county.
 His long practice, his experience in the courts and in public life, his clean and honorable record as a lawyer and citizen. peculiarly fit him to make an ideal judge of this circuit and he requests that the vot- ers of Lee county give his candidacy very serious consideration when they decide on the man who shall serve this district as judge.
