to the healing power of Pc-ru-na.
Influenza left him much run down

writes:

using it to keep their hair good,

we arc living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great

Nowadays, though. we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussX, mixing at

"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

nobody can discover it has been ap-
piled. 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 disappears. but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage

Highest Rent There Dollar
Month; No Fuel FamInes
= t'te' There E-
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl

L'Anse, Mich, October 12-Pe-
quaming, nine miles to the north of
L'Anse, Is Henry Ford's town. The
highest rent there is 81 a month, ell
ectric light and water are furnished
at cost, the Doctors bill Is never
more than $3.50 a month, and fuel
famines are unknown.
The Detroit automobile manufac-
ture acquired possession of Pc
quaming recently from Charles He
bard and Sons Inc. pioneer lumber
men of the peninsula.
When the town was built in 1877
the owners set about to make it
something different from other lum-
Der towns. They wanted commun-
ity of comfortable homes and happy,
contented workmen. They seemed
to think more of the welfare Of their
employees than they did Of the pro-
fits of their enterprise.
Cottages For Workmen
There are 105 cottages for the
workmen, two churches-one pro-
testant and one Catholic-an
house, a waterworks and electric
a general store where all residents
shop, and a public playground and
park.
Each workman pays the same
rent-$1 month. He need never
worry about coal, for, he burns none.
Instead he stuffs his big stove with
hardwood from the company's for
ests, paying $1.75 for large wag-
onload-barey TIE. cost of cutting
and delivering. A doctor administers
to the ills of the community at a
charge of $3.50 a month.
The beauty of Pequaming has won
frequent comment from tourists.
The streets are we'll shaded, the
houses are of varying types, and
there is a garden with every house.
Purchase of the town gives Mr.
Ford ownership of Pequaming's only
industry the sawmill property of the
Hebard corporation. This includes a
large sawmill, lath and shingle mills
and 40,000 acres of land containing
400, 100000 feet of standing timber.
=. Saw Mill Operated
The saw mill is the third pur-
chased by Ford since his invasion OF
the Upper Peninsula two years ago
The first was at Iron Mountain now
fast becoming an industrial center
OF the Upper Peninsula, and the
second was at L'Anse. F.. .
The Peuuaming purchase makes
the Detroit manufacturer the larg-
est single taxpayer in .Baraga. He
will pay about three -fourths Of the
taxes of the entire county.
Mr.. Ford has not announced what
policy he will follow at Pequaming
or whether he win continue the He
bard program that has made Pc
ouaming q model town. .-

WAS NEAR FATA L PLUNGE
Mountain Lake Parties In Accident
Out, of Mankato

Mountain Like, october 13.-An
auto accident that came very near
being fatal occurred near Mankato,
when the car that contained Mrs.
F Derksen and her son and dau-
ghter, Abraham and Elizabeth, j. r.
Derksen and Mrs. H. Derksen and
little son, plunged from ten foot
embankment and overturned. All
of the occupants of the car escaped
serious injury, ]. E. Derksen, the
ianitor in the local high school, far
ing the worst, he dislocating MS
shoulder. =.
in Mankato and were on their way
home when the accident occurred:
They were coming up the steep NIL
that leads out of Mankato with a
lumber wagon directly in front OF
them. Just as they were about 10
pass the wagon a car, Ford Runa :
bout, coming down the hill, was inst
a few feet in front of the wagon.
Due to the fact that the road winds
in and out up the hill, they had not
observed the car approach. Rather
than run into the other car, the driv-
er of the Derksen car swung quickly
to the side and in so doing the car
tumbled down the ten foot grade.
After 1t had come to complete
stop. it overturned despite the
frantic efforts of the inmates to keep
it upright. It landed on its top and
completely smashed that.
J. F. Derksen Was taken to Man
kato where his shoulder. was taken
care of, and then, after lifting the
car from the ditch, and setting it
upright on the road, the party pro-
|ceeded on their way.
