SHE DARKENED HER
GRAY HAIR
Well Known Lady Tells How She
Darkened Her Gray Hair BY
c;,,rI. uor> Md. Rar.Jv

Mrs. E. H. Boots, a we'll known
resident of Buchanan County, Ia,
who darkened her gray hair by
simple homemade remedy, made the
following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can
darken their gray or faded hair, and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple remedy, which they can mix
at home. To half pint of water
add l ounce of bay rum, one small
box of Barbo Compound and "
ounce Of glycerine. These ingre-
dents can be purchased at any drug
store at very little. cost. Apply to
the hair every other day until the
gray hair is darkened sufficiently.
This is not dye, it does not color
the most delicate scalp; is not sticky
or greasy and does not rub off. 1t
will make gray haired person look
10 to 20 years younger. ADV.

And shadows black that were by horror

A promise old that man has known be-

When he has paused to mourn year

The future to our fathers ever wore
A CLEAN Of spiendor lent by sunrise
The promise now comes clearer to our
ears;
We hear a voice our fathers did not

The power is ours to make the coming

white with atonement for an evil deed
Can man be true to what of God In him
Brings peace on earth as this New

Or, false again, must see the sun grow

Here,s a VIVA and WOoIy one.

Spectators are pretty sure to think
the new Tom Mix picture at the Mel
son today is the best and most vlrile
Of Its kind that anyone had done. Tom
Mix plays Kent Hollis, tenderfoot,
Of the Roosevelt type, who brings law
and order into rough and evil from
tier community. One of the character
istics of the picture is that nothing is
left undone by the star and his sup
port, either of pain to themselves, or
personal danger or rough work, to
make the film a real picture Of the
thing 1t was desired to produce. Ev-
cry player in 1t deserves high praise;
for all have given themselves wholly
to the making Of the picture.
Jane Novak, the leading woman, as
the lightly built and pretty heroine,
not only acts emotional moments sin
cerely but puts up tiger-cat Of a
fight with Yuma Ed (Pat Chrisman)
sent by the villain, Dunlavey George
Nicholls) to capture her. Sid Jordan
as Neil Norton and Charles LeMoyne
as Ten Spot are admirable western
types. Tom Mix is perfect. He goes
the limit to make the picture, and
the result is unqualified success. Here
is western worthy any advertising
and sure of marked popularity and
long runs. Arthur Rosson knows how
