LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandna's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur FOR re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother s
time. She used it to keep her hat4'
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on thai
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out-of-date.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 bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

|Bailif Fined for
Contempt of Court

Recorder Forts citation of Justice of
the Peace McMath and Bailiff J. NJ.
Kleckley for contempt of court when
they failed to appear as witnesses in
police court case Monday bore fruit.
Mr.. Kleckley appeared before the re-
corder privately Thursday and enter
ed a plea of guilty, with explanations.
and was assessed a fine of 81, which
he paid. Judge McMath appeared at
recorders court this morning and, af-
ter making excuses the charge was
dismissed
Mr.. Kleckley admitted that he had
been summoned to appear at the ap-
pointed hour, but said he had been
busy serving legal papers and the time
slipped past him without his realiza-
ton. Judge McMath stated that a
previous postponement of the case,
which they were to appear in had led
to a misunderstanding on his part as
to the time he was wanted. and the
police department admitted that he had
not been properly notified

SOUTH BUYING
GOODS HEAVILY
In BIG MARKET

Business is booming in the whole
sale markets, according to Lawson
Stapleton, writing to The Times Re
corder from st. Louis under date OF
Feb. 18. Neither the price of cotton
nor anything else seems to be cutting
any figure with the buyers from the
South. he says. His letter, in part,
follows:
II am enclosing clipping from one of
the st. Louis papers, which shows how
conditions are here I am fortunate
in having a comfortable room, be-
cause of the fact that 1 was fearful
things would be contested and wrote
for reservations about ten days ago.
Business is booming in this coun-
try. Merchants are here buying goods
for immediate and fall shipment. and
the wholesale people are simply over
run with business. The price of cot
ton does not seem to be worrying mer-
chants; the whole idea is to have the
merchandise to offer Foreign coun-
tries are not figuring on what may
happen they need goods and are buy
ing as fast as opportunity is offered
If you are barefoot, better buy a sup
ply of shoes, for they are going to be
higher for some time to come.
Il expect to get back about Saturday
night and will be on the job with Bus
ter Brown shoes Monday morning"
The newspaper clipping follows,
showing the condition of the market:
Hotel accommodations have been
taxed beyond capacity for more than a
week caring for thousands of mer-
chants from the South and Southwest,
who are making their spring pur
chases here during the annual market
season and in sheltering delegates to
conventions and visitors to the Auto
mobile Show
Hundreds seeking accommodations
at the large downtown hotels are re-
quired to wait until other guests check
out before rooms can be assigned. Per-
sons arriving on the late afternoon
trains for the last few nights have been
unable to get individual rooms. For
their convenience extra beds have been
installed in sample rooms, where from
three to five guests sleep overnight.
"The crowded condition of the hotels
especially those downtown, has exist
ed since the market season began in
January. In the last week, however,
the crowding has increased. Guests
in improvsed sleeping rooms pay
prices equivalent to the lowest priced
rooms

COLDS AND FLU
BEST TREATED
WITH CALOTABS
The New Perfected CaIOmel That Is
Free From Nauseating and Salivat-
ing Effects.

Physicians or druggists will tell you
that the best thing i'll the world for a
cold, grippe. or influenza, is Calotabs,
the perfect calomel, that is free from
nauseating and salivating effects. Doc
tors have learned that other laxatives
are uncertain and unsatisfactory for
colds and grippe, but that they can
count on Calotabs, the new calomel
that has all the liver benefits and none
OF the sting, to thoroughly arouse the
liver and put the system in ideal CON
dition to throw off the cold and pre-
vent influenza and pneumonia.
The best time to take Calotabs is at
tie first sign of cold. IF you take
it at the beginning you can cure a
cold overnight. One Calotab on the
tongue at bed time with a swallow of
water-that's all. In the morning you
wake UP feeling fine, with hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Your cold has
vanished and you may congratulate
yourself that you have possibly pre-
vented serious complications, for ply
sicians tell us that neglected colds
number their victims by Che millions
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price tEiTty-five cents. Your druggist
will supply you, and your money given
back promptly and cheerfully if you
are net delighted with this new form
or cal0mel. adv
