TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other Ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is
very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few ap-
plications, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the in
side like you battle outside. This is
vastly more important, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, while the bowel pores
do.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass Of hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify, and freshen the entire ali
mentary tract before eating more
food.
Get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless.
Drink phosphated hot water every
morning to rid your system of these
vile poisons and toxins; also to pre-
vent their formation.

Some More Work
Remains to be Done

The little item that appeared in The
Daily Record on Monday under the
captain, waiting To Have bitches
Cleaned" commended itself to people
living in those parts tof town where
the watering of lawns and gardens is
still hindered by the clogged condi-
ton of the irrigation laterals from
leaves, rubbish and other accumula-
tions of the winter. and in those neigh
borhoods where the trash shovefed
from them still lies in ugly heaps

1t is realized that the street depart
ment is exceptionally busy at this time
Of the year, having burden of work
to do that 1t is almost impossible to
perform with the resources at its com
mands, and with this understanding Of
the situation people are disposed to
be patient and delay their "kicks. as
long as they can conveniently and
consistently postpone the annual
cleanup of their premises. The ma
tional state and city governments re-
quire that taxes must be paid promptly
for the services they render. People
have right to expect that promptness
in this matter will be reciprocal and
that there should be as little post
ponement in carrying out the obliga.
tions Of government as there is in
meeting the tax demands for its ad-
ministration.
The city is doing great work In
keeping the streets clean and has dis
charged its task with thoroughness In

And roadside tree bereft

healthy return on the investment.
CLARK CooPER-The greatest
need in Canon City today is rooms for
housekeeping and sleeping accommo-
dations. The demand for sleeping
rooms can easily be met by building
sleeping porches over front porches
and in the large unoccupied attics OF
more than two-thirds of the cottages
in the city. The most desirable place
for sleeping the greater part of the
year in this climate is on a sleeping
porch. A large attic can easily be
converted into a splendid sleeping
porch with inside rooms simply by cut
ting large dormer windows in the roof
and the expense of such form of i'm
provement is less compared with the
results obtained than any other form
cottage. Demand for rooms will be
great during the Elks' convention this
year and also during the tourist sea
son.
WILL RANGER-Those walls of
the old mill site on West Main street
should be condemned by the city coun-
Gil at once and torn down. They are
not only an eye-sore but they are
menace to the safety of the public as
well. A few shots of dynamite would
lay them quickly and inexpensively
and would settle the question. With
the high winds of late there has been
a. great deal of danger from these
walls. Children have been seen at
play around these walls and II child
should happen to be killed by falling
wall the remainder would be con
demned quickly. So. why not have
them condemned before there is any
loss of life?

HARRY M'QUOwN-A good many
families are moving away from Canon
