LANCASTER DISTRICT GOES
OVER THE TOP tURRlEDLY

One of the most patriotic, en-
thusiastic and manifesting meet
ings held in Smith county since
the beginning of this great war,
was held at Lancaster last Sun
day afternoon. The new church
was filled with people to hear
the address of Hon. Chas. T..
Gates in the interest of the
Third Liberty Loan and a most
gratifying demonstration was
started when the chairman of
the meeting announced that the
receiving of subscriptions was in
order. Within a few minutes
more than $4,000 was subscrib~
ed, although the allotment of the
Ninth District is only So, 300.
The action of this district, in
subscribing something like three
times the amount of its quota,
has caused all the other sections
of the county to sit up and take
notice.. and all hats are off to the
people of the Lancaster commun.
ity. Gen. Gates. who is one of
the most eloquent speakers in
the state. made stirring appeal
in behalf of our country during
this crisis, and the people of
Lancaster are grateful to him
for his presence on the occasion
last Sunday.

their allotment of the Third Lib

manifestation of a fine spirit.
The Defeated district will hold
its public meeting tonight and
from assurances given me by the
district chairman, w. D. Wright.
am confident that the citizens
of this district will more than
subscribe their allotment. The
prospects in some of the other
districts for a full subscriptions

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old Favor
ite Recipe Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, 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, by ask
ing at any. drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get a large bottle Of this famous
old recipe, improved by the addition
Of other ingredients, for about so
cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's' Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
q youthful appearance. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease.

REAoyATING THE "HARD' HAT
Homo MiliIner Can Remedy Defects
and Make Top Piece Stylish
" u, and Becoming.

= a44 "
.,,N No woman can well afford to make
herself look "hard," and there Is moth
ing. that will do 1t quicker than q
''hard" hat. You know the kind, mas
culine and .unbending In every line.
Perhaps you have made an sunfortun-
ate purchase Of the kind. So these
general hints on renovating may help.
Usually the unbecomingness of this
type Of hat centers in the crown,
which may be too tall or unbecomlng-
" stiff, or both. The home milliner
can remedy both those things by re-
placing the stiffened side Of the crown
with softer material like satin an
tique, which rs ever so modish for
hats just now, or with velvet. Usual
~ 1t Is advisable to use the old lid"
OF the crown for Il stay. Now cut
your new material, of the desired
height and half as long again us the
circumference OF the lid Gather
II aitg alaorls ana secure tofthe latter.
AftetE 1hast lyon can shir 1t both for
saSG sakssef shape and for decorative
ness;
Another remedy for the harsh crown
dificulty. and one almost universally
becoming, is to replace half the side
OF the crown and the lid with the
more yieldy material. According to
this method. you will slice or the top
of the crown and as much Of the side
as will give. you a becoming crown
height. Then gather the new mate
nal as usual 1t simplifies the work
to do the gathering on little disk Of
the former sitter stuff.
