A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year when fhe prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is almost certain to be needed before the winter is over and re- cults are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the first indication of a cold appears and before it has become settled in the system. There is no dan ger in giving it to children as it contains no opium or other harm- full drug.

Darken Your Hair
 With Home Recipe

This is the age when gray hair is taboo by everyone. and men and women everywhere are seek ing ways and means to keep their hair dark. 1 have found a sue. cessful formula, and 1 want every one desirous of darkening their h ar to benefit by my recipe.
 The beautiful part of my method is that you yourself know exactly just what you are putting on you hair to make it dark, and to keep the gray locks from ap- bearing. The ingredients are to be found in any kitchen pantry in the country. The mixture is harmless. You can make as much as you wantat one time, and store it away for future use. Or you can make it each time you apply it. It is simple to make, easy to apply, and above all, it is harm less.
 Send me 25 cents, and 1 will mail this formula in a plain en- velope. Try it and be convinced. 1 am using it right today. Ad- dreess MRS. DONALDSON, DEPT. 12, 1216 FOURTH AVE. N. W. ROANOKE, VA.

Smith, member of the quorum of Apostles, Elders Taylor and BennisOn, who were here in the interest of the M.
