SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Appiy
 With d Hair Brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmotherS time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that 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 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- ncrded upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-knOWn downtown druggist says it 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, it becom es beautifully dark and glossy.

POWERFUL PILE k REMEDY DISCOVERED

Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti- \ nate Case of Piles in Few DaVs.
 For years it has been proved that so-calIed external remedies applied to or inserted in the rectum cannot cure piles, and at tho best can only give temporary relief. Surgical opera tions also do not remove this cause. but simply the formation.
 This wonderful prescription known as Miro Pile Remedy, is so efficient in the treatment of / piles, that even chronic cases of from 20 to 30 years standing with profuse bleeding have been completely cured in from three to ten days. Think of it! Just a few doses of a carefully balanced pre- scription and the most persistent case of piles is absorbed, never to return.
 Just read what Henry J. Stone of the Lorain, Ohio, Fire Department says:
 "I had bleeding and protruding piles for three years and tried au kinds of remedies without result, but was thoroughly cured after taking one bottle of Miro"
 Frank J. Phillips of Bird Island. Minnesota, says:
 "I used half a bottle of Miro. It worked like d charm. I no longer suffer with bleeding and protrudine piles. I never regretted the money for such blessings as l am now en- toying. I would have used the whole bottle but if was not necessary"
 All pharmacists dispense Miro or can get it for you on short notice. Surely it's worth the little trouble to obtain it to be rid of piles forever.
 IIPORTANT-Wh is known as itching piles are not piles in the true sense of the word, although this com dition may accompany a true case of piles. For this condition Miro Pile Ointment has been prepared as in such cases it is not necessary to take the internal prescription.

zation is firmly established and this town as other towns would receive it's share of the state money. Whether the state will appropriate honey eV- cry year for the maintaining of the legion will remain to be seen, but if the local ex-serVice men organize firmly it is thought that the help of the state will not be necessary.
 At the next meeting of the Brock Barnes post, which will probably be held next week, the proposition of getting subscriptions from the business men and private parties will be dis cussed. Also the committee in charge Of securing members for the legion will make a report of the progress in the work. From the present outlook it is probable that the legion will have to erect rooms of it's own as location in the local business blocks cannot be found.
