An Old Recipe
to Darker Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, 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 trouble
some.
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 i'm
proved by the addition of other in.
gradients. at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time; by morn.
ing the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy, and you look years younger

Merlin ID. Dunsworth, aged nine
teen years, passed away at the home

Wednesday evening, at 1880 O'Clock,
after a few days illness of bronchial
pneumonia.
Merlin had been in his usual health
UP until Sunday evening, and was on

death comes as great shock to MS
many friends in this city.
Merlin D., the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel and Sarah X. (Yetter) Duns-
worth, was born in this vicinity,
where his parents have made their
home for many years, having lived in
Carthage a great portion OF his life,
where he has attended our public
schools and also been member OF
the Sunday schools. He was OF
very kind disposition to his younger
brothers and sister, and never lost

their childish troubles, and could be

The Trinity Lutheran church has
dedicated it's church service flag,
which was at the close OF the regular

doubly SO because OF the fact that
Rev. Diehl, the pastor, is now repre-
scented by the new star which has
been added.
At a recent church council meeting
Trinity church granted Rev. Diehl a
leave Of absence for the duration Of
his services in the army and voted
to invest their endowment (Bernethy)
fund, amounting to nearly 5000, in
the third Liberty loan. Thus, while
the pastor is making the sacrifice OF
home comforts for the strenuous life
OF the army camp ana DdUtle lTOut,
the church is doing its bit.
The church is also contributing its
quota toward $4,000 to be raised by
Lutherans in Illinois, and s750,000 by
Lutherans in the United States for
the use of the national Lutheran
commission in stDpplementing the
work of the Y. NJ c. A., in canton
ments here and abroad.
The Lutheran church has about
100000 men in the army service and
the aim of the national commission
is to furnish Lutheran camp pastors
wherever they are desired by the
boys in the service.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young Is to feel
young = to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need OF
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples -a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from In
active bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calo,nel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver ana clear
ing the system Of impurities.
