COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once

Common garden sage brewed int a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded. hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding a lot of
muss
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyetf's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and iuxuriant and you
appear years younger.

THE LIBRARY WANTS AID
FROM THE CITY TREASURY

Product Be Inspected.

Besides the usual routine but little
business was transacted by the city
council at the December meeting OF
that body.
Mr.. A. l. Phillips, manager Of Jor-
dams market, appeared before the
council and stated that his establish
ment had recently installed sausage
factory, and it was necessary for the
product to be inspected before it could
be sold IN other cities. He desired that
this be done by the city, and offered
to pay a higher license tax for the
service. The council did not act, and
will await the receipt OF an inspection
blank used in other cities.
The library association asked that
the city aid them financially. 1t was
stated that the association was without
funds and could not run the institution
as free library unless aid came from
some source. A committee was APP
pointed to confer with the board OF
education and other civic organiza-
tons.

MANY FISH WEAR
GOWNS AT NIGHT
Some Speciments Become the Exact
Color of Their Surroundings
When They Go to Sleep.

If you watch the fish in the home
aquarium you might readily conclude
that they never sleep. Such is not the
case, but they are such light seepers
that it is almost impossible to catch
them while they are under the infiu
ence of Morpheus. Scientists have,
however, managed to make some OBJ
servations in this direction. A curious
thing about sleeping fish is that most
OF them put on night gowns, so to
speak. The tautog always dons stripes
and spots of black when he goes to
bed, and the common soup, or porgy,
which is silver gray when awake and
swimming around, goes to sleep
among the roots of eel grass or sea
weeds, and changes to a striped coat
of brown and gray that exactly
matches his surroundings, and pro-
tects him from his enemies. A fish
that changes still more when he
sleeps is the green parrot fish of the
southern waters. During the day he
lis clear turquoise green, but as soon
as he goes to the bottom to rest
among the stones and weeds he fades
to dull olive, and numerous reddish
brown spots and blotches appear up
on his body, so that it is hard to see
him among his surroundings. But if a
parrot fish is placed in an aquarium
with a plain green bottom he keeps
his coat of green and does not change.
If few pebbles or other objects are
put into the aquarium a few spots will
appear upon the fish as he sleeps, and
as fast as such objects are added more
and more blotches appear

DAWSON Hi START,
THEIR CAGE PRACTICE
EXPECT TO HAVE EXCELLENT
TEAM OF BOYS AND GIRLS.
CORDELE HERE FRIDAY.

Cage practice has begun in earnest
at the Dawson high school Both the
boys and girls are turning out in large
numbers, and the roll of candidates
shows much promising material.
Each afternoon immediately after
school the girls, under the capable
coaching of Miss Hazel Hail. work in
the gym until $3.50 when the boys
take the floor until dark
At present Harris and Holloman
seem to be the most probable goal
ringers for the girls team, while
number Of others are showing excel
lent form at floor work. The team has
not yet been finally organized as this
is the first team in several years and
practically every candidate is green at
the game it has not been thought adj
visable to elect a captain.
Coach Morgan will have practically
a new squad on the floor, for this sea-
son, but despite the fact that they
have never appeared for practice be-
fore all are ardent basket ball fans and
know the game Tedder, Jones and
Bridges are the three men from last
years team. The most promising of
the new candidates seems to be Jen-
nings, Chambliss, Daniel, Grubbs and
Edwards. Unless some phenomenal
star appears soon that will likely be
the team for this season. Bridges was
elected captain, Jennings alternate cap
tain and John Shields manager
The first game of the season will
take place in the high school gym on
Friday night at 7:30 O'Clock, when
Cordele will furnish the opposition. AS
neither team has played before this
season it is impossible to dope the
kind of game it will be, but Cordele
claims to have a crack team and Daw-
son believes she has one. just little
better. Cordele is Dawson's bitterest
rival, and it is safe to. say that the
game will be hard fought
The Dawson uniforms have arrived,
and seem much too pretty to put on
such an ugly bunch of boys. They are
white trimmed with Kelly green.

The chief topic of conversation in

AXEL NISSEN WILL
TRY THE MAT AGAIN

Not being satisfied with the
defeat of last winter Axel Nissen,
the fast Askov catch-as-catch-can
wrestler, who was downed by
Albert Larson of Nickerson. has
arranged a match with John
Ahlm of Duquette, to be staged
at Sandstone on Friday evening,
July Is. Perhaps underestimate
ing the ability of Larson, Nissen
did not train properly for that
contest but he is determined TO
try it again and says there will
be another story to tell after the
next contest. Although Nissen
is giving much weight to either
Ahlm or Larson his many years
of experience with tough custo-
mers and his great speed will off
set that materially. At any rate
he is confident and will leave no
stones unturned in his training
for the Ahlm contest and in the
later Larson contest if that is
arranged.
The Nissen-Ahlm contest on
the 18th at Sandstone which will
be a finish affair-best two out
of three-will also have at
least one good preliminary. Ne
gotiations are on for Carl Jor-
gensen and Ludwig Madsen, two
fast welterweights, about AS
pounds, to stage the preliminary.
Ahlm who is an old-timer at
the game has met many good
men in his days. He weighs
about $50 pounds and Nissen
about 40.

the victor before all precincts Of

mination for governor on the

a close second. Christensen is
practically assured the nominal

of the nominees for Judge Of the

the other nominee.
In Pine county Therrien is one
of the nominees for representa-
