An old RECIPE
TO DARKEN 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 troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for 'sWyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle OF this old-time recipe improved
by the addition OF other Ingredients,
at very little cos. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. az It does II 50 naturally
and evenly. You dampen q sponge or
soft vbrush with It and draws this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at q time: by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you hook years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is q delightful
toilet requisite. It IL not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

bGIass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast ,
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIces Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of US who are accustom-
ed to feel dull and heavy when we
arise; splitting headache, stuffy
from cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, lame back,
can instead, both look and feel as
fresh as daisy always by wash
ing the poisons apd toxins from
the body with phosphated hot wa
ter each morning.
We should drink, before break
fast, glass Of hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it to flush from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous day'sindigestible
waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing and sweet
ening and purifying the entire al
imentary tract before eating
more food.
The action of limestone phos-
plate and hot water on an empty
stomach is wonderfully invigor-
ating. It cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one fine appe-
tite for breakfast. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate
costs very little at the drug store,
but is enough to make anyone who
i bothered with biliousness, con-
stipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism an enthusiast on in
ternal sanitation.

Saw Mills and Good Roads.
Editor Brandon News.
Dear Cir..


We have all reads with interest
Mr.. Adams article in last weeks
issue, elative to the roads and the
saw mills. / do not wish Mr.. A.
dams or any other mill man to
feel that we want the mills to
shut down and move out Of the
county. The gist Of my previous
article in the News in refernece
to saw millswas that they are des-
troying our roads, and many of
them do not take any pains to help
in the least repair the, damage.
If Mr.. Adams would visit Flor
ence and then start out on tour
of roads here that have been used
by the mills in this county he
would not be long arriving at the
conclusion as the people here have
come to. For instance, let him
start to Monterey in buggy and
go straight through the middle Of
the road-a road that every year
has been passable not only to bug
gies and wagons, but to cars as
we'll. Then let him go on through
the Sutton place, which route is a
public road. Then let him go
from Thomasville to Star, and
leave Star and come to Florence
on our gravel road where logs
have been hauled so numerously.
Then let him try out some roads
down near Clear Branch that have
been used for hauling lumber.
When he gets around he will show
up riding his horse and picking
his way through the woods.
Mr.. Adams appears to make out
such good case in favor Of the
saw mills that l am afraid he has
convinced the mill owners that
they will be imposed on If the peo-
pie insist that they not butcher up
the roads, and am afraid, too,
that some Of the people will think
that the mills pay so much taxes,
and are boon to the communities
that it would be bad thing to
raise any agitation against them.
Now, of course, we all recognize
that there is great deal of good
to all the people derived from the
mills and the lumber industry in
general. It is q legitimate enter
prise and we all want to see them
do we'll. Still there, are some
things that could be said on the
other side Of the question. Farm
labor has been scarce in this
county for the past two or three
years, and when we get labor we
have to pay two to three dollars a
day for 1.-THE prices the mills
pay. The mill hands have to pay
road tax any way, whether they
are farming or working at the
mill. The tax on the timber
would be paid anyway whether
the mills owned it or not: and if
a mill cuts up two hundred acres
of timber this year and ships it
out. do we get the tax on it next
year? Then, as far as taxes are
concerned all we get that we
would not otherwise get is the tax
on the boiler and engine and saw,
and possibly some mules and wag-
ons. l would like to consult the
assessar's books to see how much
this is, as l do not know.
AL l want to soc, and all the
rest Of the people want to see,
Mr.. Editor, is little willingness
on the part Of the mills to help us
keep these roads in passable con-
dition, and some assurance that
if we issue bonds to build some
first-class roads we will not have
to abandon them to lumber wagons
and have to trail through the
woods horseback and foot back
when we want to go somewhere.

Thomas +. Doran, who lost both his
arms in a train accident when only
IL years old, Is considered n of the
best occ players in the south. Dor
an plays with the Phoenix Shortening
eleven in Memphis each winter, ana
during the summer months works as
q baseball umpire for the Memphis
Associated Amateurs.
Despite the fact that he hasn't an
arm Doran can play any position on
the team. He prefers to play in tho
backfeld. but has even held down
the difficult job of goal-keeper, al
though he Is handicapped in this posi-
ton.
When 1t comes to jumping and using
his feet, the kangaroo hasn't anything
on Doran. He is an accurate kicker,
can pass the ball well, and is one
of the fastest men on the field.
Doran is also an ardent baseball
fan. He never misses a league game
except when he is serving as umpire
for an amateur organization. Tom
handles the Indicator In a Memphis
circuit, where a player must be over
rs years old to sign a contract.
And the players don't question his
decisions. One did once. Tom waiv-

became rough n threatening, Doran
used his best weaponS-his feet. The
player fought hard, but he was no

Doran has played very little this sea-

tour of Belgium, France and England
However he expects to get back in the
game now and finish the season with
