TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewad into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton IL your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients. *
While wispy. gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearances and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can TELL because it does 1t so
naturally, SO evenly. You just dampen
g sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
me small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
lft and Iuxuriant. ~
t6rhis preparation Is delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis
sass.

tercation yesterday on the main
streets in which a pistol figured prom
inently. In a fight which resulted
from a dispute over tax fare, Roscoe
Chastain, who had used the car, was
shot in the back of the head. The
wound was inflicted by Cullen Rog-
ers, a hack driver but proved to be
only a slightsabrasion near the base
of the skull. The firing of the pistol
on one Of the prominent street cor

time. They are good friends and.
the matter will be adjusted.

It's the same story over again.
Women suffer from ailments for years.
They try doctors and different medi-

take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and you can see its value in
the case of Mrs. Miner.
That's the truth of the matter. If you
are suffering from any of the troubles
women have, you ought to try this med
icine. 1t can be taken in safety by young
or old, as it contains no harmful drugs.

ELECTION OR RESIGNATION

LONDON, March 2-(By Asso-

Premier Lloyd George will be he up
shot of the present political crisis, it
is, generally believed. Apparently
the widening breach in the Conserva-

gain in strength of the Liberals under

porites as evidenced in recent by-elec-
tions, have forcd these alternatives
on the premier.

OUGHT To Be A
CROWD At ORLANDO
Tomorrow Will be Marion County Day
At the Midwinter Sub
Tropical Fair

Tomorrow is Marion County Day"
at the Mid-Winter Sub-Tropical Fair
in Orlando. A number of people from
this county are now at the fair and it
is urged that as many as can do so
attend tomorrow. News comes from
Orlando that Marion county is cap
turing many premiums. This is Mar
ion county's first year in the Mid
Winter Fair and the county is making
an excellent showing. The citrus fruit
in particular is attracting attention
just as it did at the South Florida
Fair in Tampa.
With the exception of the stretch
between Belleview and the Marion
Lake county line just below Weirs-
dale, the highway to Orlando is in
good condition. The best way from
Belleview to the county line is by the
dirt road which runs parallel with the
Seaboard track to Summerfeld, thence
across by South Lake Weir to Weirs-
dale The road from Belleview to
Summerfield is on the east side of the
track. The trip can also be made by
way of the Orange avenue road and
Pedro thence across to Weirsdale.

CREAMERY DEMONSTRATION

In the haste of closing up the paper
yesterday, an awkward mistake was
made in the creamery demonstration
article, and as the best method of cor
rection, we reprint the article, as fol-
lows:
Upon the invitation of the Marion
County Creamery Company number
of people gathered at the plant We'd
nesday at 80 a. m. to see what sort
of demonstration Mr.. Shearer had for
them. AS soon as all the invited
guests had arrived Mr.. Shearer made
a short talk, explaining his reason for
inviting them to the plant. Those
present were Mrs. P. G. Murphy, Mrs.
Carl Ray, Mrs. F. w. Cook, Mrs. ].
W. Dumas and Miss Katherine Pyles,
Messrs. l.. I. Izlar, Louis Chazal, J.
C. Johnson, Harvey Clark, r. F. Rog-
ers, B. Goldman, Robert MacKay, P.
G. Murphy, Carl Ray, C. G. Rose, j.
w. Dumas, S. M. Lummus, T. B.
Barnes, Mr.. Thomas and Dr. Watt.
Mt was the desire of the creamery
management to let people see what
clarified and pasteurized milk really
meant. First, Mr.. Shearer called at
tention to the Sharpless clarifer and
separator. This is really washing
machine for the milk The milk is
first strained through cheese cloth
and poured into the Sharpless, which
is steam driven centrifugalamachine
turning at $4,000 revolutions to the
minute. This machine separates the
cream from the milk and takes all
dirt and foreign matter out of the
milk. In order to give the visitors
vivid picture of the dirt that the
Sharpless took from the milk, Mr.
Shearer had the machine dissembled
in the presence of the crowd. Fully
two solid quarts of foreign matter
hair, dirt, ETC., was taken from the
machine. This dirt had collected in
clarifying 200 gallons of milk.
From the clarifier the milk goes to
the pasteurizer, where it is heated tc
130 degrees, to kill the bacteria, and
from which it passes over a series Of
cold pipes until it is cooled to about
40 degrees at which time it is bottled
for use.
Mr.. Shearer treated his guests tc
some good creamery ice cream after
he had completed the demonstration.
1t will be several days before the
judges in the ice cream name contes
can make decision as there is /.
large number of names.

A LAW WITH TEETH
(Associated Press

Tallahassee, Feb. 16.-The state
law under which operators Of wire
tapping and other confidence games in
Florida may be prosecuted was en-
acted by the legislature at its session
last summer. Before the law was en-
acted the authorities, lit is said, were
almost powerless to prosecute conf
dence men because of the inadequacy
of the state statutes.
The new law follows:
Section /. That on and after the
passage and approval of this act it
shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to defraud or attempt to de-
fraud any individual or individuals
out of anything of value, by assuming
to have or be able to obtain any sec
ret, advance or any inside informa-
tion regarding any person, transac-
tion, act or thing, whether such per-
son, transaction, act or thing exists or
not.
Sec. 2. Any person or persons
found guilty of violating the provis-
ions of section l of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a felony and upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined not
more than $4,000 and ten. years in
the state penitentiary.
Sec. 3. All paraphernalia of what
soever kind in possession of and used
in defrauding or attempting to de-
fraud as specified in section 1 of this
act shall be held and accepted by any
court of jurisdiction in this state as
prima facie evidence of guilt.
Sec d. This act shall take effect
upon its becoming a law.

EXHIBITION OF PICTURES

The Purpose Of Raising Funds For
The Purchase of Pictures for The
Walls of the Public Schools.
This exhibition of pictures is one
OF more than ordinary interest. It
consists of carbon photographs and
engravlngs, loaned by the EIson Art
Company of Belmont, Mass. The COL
lection is a large one and contains
only the very best reproductions of
the masterpieces of art of different
countries and periods. Nearly every
gallery and country in the world
would have to be visited to see the
original pictures which are here
brought together in one collection.
The collection comprises two hum
dred subjects representing all the
principal schools of art and including
many reproductions of sculpture,
architecture and important views
from nature. Few collections have
ever been brought together which so
completely cover the history of all
times as this. A catalog will be on
sale at the exhibition hall.
No city or town should be indiffer-
ent to the culture and refinement of
its people. It is part Of the school
work to inculcate these qualities in
the children through whatever means
it has at its disposal. The whole
some and refining influence of pic
lures of the right sort on the school
walls Is now generally recognized as
one of the most valuable means of Sc
curing this end. The funds for pur-
chasing such pictures, as well as an
opportunity to make a selection from
a very large number, is secured by
means of the exhibition. The larger
the attendance, the greater the num-
Der of pictures that can be secured
for the schools.
We hope you win not fail to visit
the exhibition, and believe you will
be fully repaid for the slight trouble
and expense in the pleasure and profit
you will gain for yourself, besides
helping on the work.
The exhibition will be open, after
moons and evenings, at 2:30 and 7:30,
February 22nd to 25th. Admission,
10 and Is cents. Season tickets, SOC.
