 HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept her locks youthful, dark and glossy with common garden
 Sage and Sulphur

When you darlen your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell because it's done so naturally so evenly. Preparing this mixture though, at home is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-tO-uSe prep aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called 'NVyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and dra w this through your hair, aking one small strand at a time By morning all gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark ened glossy and luAuriant.
 Gray faded hair, though no dis grace. is sign of old age, and as we all desire d youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger This ready to-use preparation is a delightful toi- let requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- ton or prevention Of disease.

 Trees Down on Gladden. St.
 Further evidence that the havoc of yesterday was d genuine cyclone, was the damage done on Gladden. street on the property of William H. Gladden., about a mile away from the center of the storm. Eight trees about Mir. Gladden's pace were uprooted and two Of them were broken off. In western cyclones it is common to Oh- serve damage done in a widely scat tered section from where the greater force of the blow is felt
 The cyclone seems to have done its damag in a triangular shaped area, bounded on the south by Harrison street, westerly by Black Rock ave- nue and nOrtherly by West Main street, coming to a point at the West Main street entrance to Walnut Hill park.
 While driving up Black Rock ave- nue in the gale Assistant City Engi- neer Mccarthy heard a strange noise behind his car. He looked and saw small front veranda of some house cavorting along the pavement. Trees were blown down in MT. McCarthy's back yard.
