EASY TO DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done SO naturally, SO even
~. Preparing this mixture, though, at
home is mussy and troublesome. At
little cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved BY the addition of other ingre-
dients called "Wycth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just danpcn
. sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one small
strand at time. BY morning all gray
hair disappears, and, after another ap-
piication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy and lux

Gray, faded hair. though, no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-

WEIGH AND BAIRD TALK TO
LIONS; MRS. WILKINSON SANG

Til program at the weekly dinner
of the Lions club was somewhat
changed from the regular schedule
er of the evening was unable to be
present, but President Mathers made
things interesting anyway.
Secretary Chalmers'was detained on
account of business. The club mayor
was sweaty, having had troubles for
couple of days with the city water
system, so he was not on hand.
Mr.. Welch gave resume Of re-
port which he said was signed by over
100 business men OF the city of Den
yer asking cooperation for several OF
the measures which are to be voted
upon at the coming election. Among
them were the income tax, which 1t is
proposed to have substituted for our
present method of raising revenue.
The speaker was not SO sure about
the new schemes working ont He said
before he would put his approval upon
1t he would have to study it more.
Mr.. Baird said he desired to add
to what Judge Hotchkiss had to say
at the last meeting regarding our
problems in Delta county. Baird said
at this time he and others are working
upon a scheme whereby some dozen
men will go together and collectively.
run bunch of sheep in the hills in
summer time and in winter bring them
to the valley to consume our waste
products on the farm and consume
surplus hay. Baird was speaking from
farmers standpoint. He said for
the past two years on his 2SO-acre
farm his renters have talked him into
raising potatoes, largely. This has
been against his judgment and he was
convinced the farmer OF this valley
must meet conditions and get down
to cropping the land to the very best
advantage. Potatoes and onions and
grain should only be raised in linn
tied way, he said. His collective sheep
raising scheme he said was well under
way and nothing would prevent de-
veloping several units of farmers into
the same idea.
1t was the opinion the farmer could
benefit IL he was invited into the
Lions den. Several farmers have been
guests of the club and the movement
is to be broadened so as to enable
Lions and farmers to profit by mu-
tual associations together.
Cub Kyffin led the singing of sew
eral of the most popular songs. The
guests were Mrs. w. G. Hillman. Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Wilkinson.
Mrs. Wilkerson sang in her usual
delightful manner, Mrs. Hillman as

tity for cooking and other necessary
household uses. while others failed ut
terly. The city was as dry as Vol.
stead cellar all day and until 1880
that night when the water was again
turned in for the thirsty residents.
The cause of the shortage was that
the pipe line has been enlarged and re-
paired. the work covering a period of
several weeks. and the change was
necessary in order to do the final work
The line to Garnet mesa has been
enlarged from a six-inch pipe to a ten
inch pipe, and it is hoped this will be
adequate for Garnet mesa hereafter.
