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

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, 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 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date.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 a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addf- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.

CORRESPONDENT ASKS DIVORCE
 BE SET ASIDE

New York, Oct. 21-Mrs. Nellie Cronin of No. 539 Pacific street, Brooklyn, applied yesterday to Su- preme Court Justice Benedict to set aside a decree of divorce in which she was named as correspondent, 50 that she may defend her honor.
 The divorce was obtained by Mrs Winifred Denning from Charles T. Denning, who was alleged to have been guilty of misconduct with Mrs Cronin, a widow, at Milford, Conn. At the time the case was tried, last February, Mrs. Cronin was in Flori- da. In papers filed yesterday she said she left word with her attorney before she went South to notify her when the case was about to come to trial, as she was desirous of denying the charges made against her. Through oversight, she said, the at torney did not notify her.
 Decision was reserved.

dog during full moon he will strain at

need for special training for citizen
ship and motherhood has been recog-
nized. The woman doctor, the woman
lawyer, the woman office worker are
all properly prepared for their posi-
tions, but what of preparation for
capable motherhood, for efficient citi-
zenship? The. Girl Scout organization
is recognizing this need and has as Its

ough and practical, but fascinating. is
shown by the tremendous growth OF
the organization.
The national headquarters Girl
Scouts, which already numbers $4,000
members, enrolls every month an aver
age of 5000 new girls. That means
nearly 200 girls day join this SPLEEN
did organization, which gives them
an opportunity to do the things that
, are good for them in their own way.
The organization with it's high ideals
and splendid growth Is of vital inter
est to every man and woman, every
mother and father in the land.
For the Girl Scout organization
aims, not only to fit each of its mem
bers to meet the calls of the new gen
Grafton, but to make her better pa.
triot as we'll.
To accomplish this, the Girl Scout
is taught how to cook and sew, how
to care for children, how to nurse the
sick at home, how to use first aid, how
to develop her physical self and how
to be of practical and moral value to
the community.
Every girl in Keokuk, between these
ages, is DESTROYS of living Just this
kind of a life and is anxious for the
things which will help her and make
the liviig easier. The Girl Scouts OF
Keokuk are offering you such an OPP
portunity and are asking you to mem
bership in this national organization.
Two teams are working hard for mem
beers, with Miss Mary Bedford as cap
tain of one team and Miss Irene Field
men as captain of the other. All
girls DESTROYS of registering should go
to the Y. w. G. A. and place their
names in the scouts registration book
before Sept. 20.
