LADIES DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Crandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
VIII Know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's 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 mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle Of 'Wyeth's 5
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair

PLANTATION.

Chief of Police Grant, to whom he
said that after the shooting he had
asked Cusick If he had had enough
and the latter replied that he had.
Nick Ableman was the first to reach
the PROSTATE man. who said:
mick, I'm blasted. See that they
bury me in my plot in the cemetery" !"
Mckenzie is in the county Jail.
Cusick may recover.-Reno Gazette.

WINNEMUCCA MAN
WANDERS IN RENO

Clothed only in his pajamas and an
overcoat, ]. L. Pabst of winnemucca,
who has been i'll at Reno hospital
for several days with pneumonia, left
the hospital without even a hat at
five O'Clock yesterday morning and
after wandering about in the intense
cold for two hours reached a saloon
in the business section of the city.
where he was located by an officer
and returned to the hospital.
He was delirious at the time he left
the hospital. but the cold air seemed
to do him no harm, as his condition
was reported improved in the after
noon and he was not delirious.
His wife died a few days ago in
Winnemucca from pneumonia brought
on by influenza and a few days after
her death he came to Reno, bringing
his four small children with him. The
children are here now.
The search for him caused some ex-
citement among hospital attendants
and the police were Immediately noti-
fed. Officer Lee Walstrom found him
in the saloon and he raised no objec-
tion to being taken back-Reno
Gazette.

FLKO EDITOR NOT
SORRY FOR DEFEAT

And so, beloved, we are with you
again. We piloted one of the ships
that landed up Salt river. We felt the
sting of the wound to our pride, and
the wound has already healed (Which
may be saying very little for our sup
ply of pride), and we are back on the
job with a determination to put out a
newspaper that will skin Phhil Trip
lett's and Ed Steninger's to death.
For. mind We. beloved, these two pen
ell pushing scapegoats started the
whole avalanche of bad luck by yank-
ing the curtain of doubt over our
most glittering start. Triplett had the
nerve to ask "whonell ever heard of
a newspaper man being elected?" and
we forget what Ed did say led says
so damuch anyhow But, anyway,
neither one of 'em sympathized with
us as they should have done, being
brother scribes and all that sort of
thing. AS a matter of fact, we have
a hunch that neither of 'em had any
desire to see us in the prosecuting
attorneys chair of this county for two
years. The consequences to their own
persons were too doubtful. To Bert
Castle, who was successful in his at
tempt to skin our political goat and
sell the hide to the junkman, we ex-
tend our heartiest congratulations and
our sincere sympathy. The last may
be somewhat obscure, in view of the
former. but it is apt. for Lord knows
the district attorneys office is no
rose-strewn path under any condi-
Independent.

STORY
Is AN INSINUATION

In an editorial printed in the San
Francisco Chronicle, captioned Gold
In Nevada-It Appears to Have Sue
cessfully Elected United States Sem
ator," a thinly veiled reason is given
for the election of Henderson. The
article follows:
Democratic Senator Henderson of
Nevada has been reelected and the
wise ones in politics are attributing
his good luck to gold.
1t is not alleged that gold coin or
even certificates were actually paid
to voters who said they had voted for
Henderson, but that the Commission
sent out from Washington to Reno
just before election to see whether
something could be done for gold fixed
the thing up. In plain language, the
disgruntled insist that as mission to
do something for gold the Commission
was a fake. but as an agency to do
something for Henderson it was
bowling success.
1t looks so, indeed. The occasion
was opportune. The poor gold miners
are in the position of the poor cotton
growers of 1914. when the slogan at
the White House was Buy bale of
cotton"-a regular 300 per cent spec
ulation, as it turned out, if the buyers
held on-and while nobody has yet
exactly been asked to buy gold brick
to help the poor miners, yet something
like that seems to have been con-
templated.
Anyhow, there was an opportunity
and il was improved. There is One in
Washington from whom we in the
wild and woolly West have much to
learn in respect to the political game,
and who may make even the redoubt-
able Colonel himself sit up and take
notice.
Anyhow, Henderson is reelected,
and it is claimed that gold did it-or,
at least, the gold Commission.

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
TO COMMENCE NEXT MONDAY

Peace may appear to be near but
our boys are still "over there" and
they must be taken care Of while they
are there. The United War Work
Campaign. which includes the Knights
OF Columbus, Y.M.C.A., American Lii
brary Association. War Camp Com
munity Service. Y.W.C.A.. Salvation
Army. and the Jewish Welfare League,
needs your help. Next week you will
be asked to give for their needs.
Probably it will be the last time that
such an appeal will be made. Let us
be the first over the top. We can
afford to be generous to the boys who
have done so much for us all.

MEN WILL RECEIVE
FIRE INSTRUCTION

Last night an enthusiastic bunch of
fire fighters met in the hose house to
receive their first Instructions about
the handling of the new combination
auto chemical fire engine, hose and
ladder truck ordered by the city coun-
ell some months ago, which arrived
here Wednesday over the Western
Pacific and was unloaded yesterday.
The truck Is made by the Brockway
Fire Apparatus Works at Cortland,
N. Y, and distributed by the Ameri-
can-L.a France Fire Engine Company
of Elmira, N. Y. The machine is a
very good looking one. finished in
nickel and painted in drab and gold.
On the sides of the truck are the
words "City of Winnemucca.7
The equipment is of the best and
consists OF two forty-gallon chemical
tanks and two small extinguishers,
metal receptacle for acids, reel OF
hose. set of ladders. poles. hooks.
lanterns, couplings, axes and other
necessities, making it complete in
every detail.
The smoke eaters last night were
particularly interested in the work
ings of the chemical tanks. V. H.
Brown, representing the Americana
France Company, who came here to
superintend the unloading OF the truck
and getting 1t in condition for emer-
gency, instructed the local firemen
In the various functions of the appar-
atus. He informed the boys that they
would be surprised with the efficiency
of the chemical solution, stating that
1t is forty times more deadly to fire
than plain water. Mr.. Brown was
here at the time of the FL Dorado
hotel fire for the purpose OF selling
the truck to the city. He says that
lust one tankful of the chemical woule
easily have suppressed the oil fire a
would have been saved for the city.
that time and the beautiful hotei
Fire Chief Ben Gillian. after con
ferring with Mr.. Brown. announced
that the Volunteer Fire Department
would assemble at the hose house at
$50 am. Sunday and that practically
the entire day would be spent solving
the perplexities and methods Of op-
Grating the truck, Mr.. Brown having
agreed to instruct them. Judging
from past performances of the fire
boys, even working with inferior
equipment and against many time
losing inconvenience. 1t is predicted
that their work will go ahead with
renewed yigor now and that this city
will soon have fire crew as efficient
as any other. Firemen will sleep in
the hose house every night and fire
protection increased enormously. The
truck is easily the best buy ever
made for Winnemucca.
