The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat

mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive Whenever her hair
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date, Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a
bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

famous old preparation, improved
by the addition OF other ingredients.
which can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to

The confidence that the American
people and prominent doctors have
shown in Phosphated Iron, while
remarkable. is not surprising, as
1t is one of those honest prepara-

BINDING TwINE SITUATION
Local Dealer Do Not Know Whether
to Buy Stock or Not

The binding twine situation in Mex
leo, according to local dealers, is in
somewhat a peculiar situation. We
understand that farmers in groups
are buying their binding twine, and
local dealers are somewhat at sea re-
garding purchasing the stock. The
Government has placed wholesale
price of 23Hc on binding twine, and
25c retail.
Some of the local dealers feel that
If the farmers are going to buy direct
there is no use in putting in stock
of binding twine. One Of them sug-
gested that it would be good idea
fol the farmers to notify him just
what their plans were, so that nc
would know what to do. To purchase
the twine and then have to carry i
over, would be a very heavy expense
+; which he does not care to incur.

FAvoRs HOSPITAL HERE
Audrain Farmer Writes That County

Beagles District, Laddonia,
March 25, 1918.
Audrain County Hospital Committee.
l have this to say regarding the
election April 9TH. Every man, wo-
man and child in Audrain County
should take an active interest in the
election for the erection of an Au-
drain County Hospital April 5th.
There are many reasons in favor of
an institution such as is proposed.
We are so far from the city hospit-
ais, in case where an immediate oper-
alton is necessary, the patient might
not live until he could receive the sur
geon's attention. The cost of hospit-
a, services, to say nothing of addition
al cost of relatives or friends who
would accompany the patient, is three
times more than it would be if the
patient was cared for at home.
i None of US know when we may be
glad to have a hospital close at hand.
We are in good health today and to-
morrow we are stricken with appen-
dicitis or some other unlocked for
physical ailment, and a hospital, cas-
lily accessible, may mean the saving
of your or my life.
I have figured the proposition from
a tax standpoint to. 1t is SO small
cannot think of a single thing for
which I pay taxes that comes as near
| giving me value received as will a
hospital that will not only take care
of me, if ! need it, but any citizen in
Audrain County whether he can pay
for hospital attention or not.
I'm going to vote eyes" and ge

WELFARE ASSOCIATION
FOR FIRE BRICK PLANT
Plans for Organizing the Association
We're Made at a Recent Fore
mans Meeting
TO EMPLOY "A DOCTOR
Associations Have Proven Successful
When Established By Other
Large Companies

At recent meeting Of the foremen
Of the A. ?. Green Fire Brick Com
pany il was suggested that a Welfare
Association be organized for the bene-
fit Of the EMPLOYEES Of the A. P. Green
Fire Brick Co. to pay a small month
ly assessment Of about S1.00 for men
with families and possibly 50c for
single men. The money would be used
to employ a doctor whose entire time
would be spent in taking care Of the
employees and their families.
This is a plan that has been sue
cessfully carried out in practically all
the large companies of the United
States, such as saw mill, mining,
railroad, steel mill and coal mining
companies. The expense to the en-
ployees amount to very little in a
years time and yet each one has the
privilege Of having a doctor as otter
as is needed by him or his family.
The Brick Plant News, paper pub.
lished twice month by the employees
of the A. P. Green Fire Brick Com
pany, is giving the plan publicity il
order to give all the men an oppor
tunity to think over the proposition
At later date, if many seem to favol
a Welfare Association, some system
of voting will be worked out whereof.
every man can express his opinion.
The following men are heading tn
movement: H. Hampton, J, S. StapI
Bill Crockett, Tom Harrison, Jin
