SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
when Mixed With Sulphur IL
Brings Back It's Beautiful
Lustre AZ Once

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance hundred-fold:
Don't stay grayl Look young !
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store bottle of
SWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved hy the addition of 9TH
er ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepare
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell,
as it darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush
with it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af-
ter another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you APP
pear years younger.

FIREMEN ANSWER CALL
TO COOKE BROS STORE
Fire Left in Stove Caused Slight
Damage to Store and Goods.

Damage to Store and Goods.
The fremen were aroused from a
warm bed Sunday morning about 7
o'clock to answer a call to the store
of Cooke Bros. The call was turned
in by Frank Collins, who happened to
notice the smoke issuing in great vol
ume from the door,
The fire fighters broke open the
door and discovered that the entire
floor around the stove had burned
through as we'll as a few boxes and
chairs in the back part of the store
house where the stove was located.
1t is probable that the fire originated
from ashes falling to the floor during
the night.
With the exception of the charred
flooring the principal damage was
done by smoke and chemicals. The
loss was covered by insurance.

The Tourist Industry

minnesota has only scratched the
surface in the matter of building up
its tourist industry" declares Secre-
tary H. C. Hotaling of the Minnesota
Ten Thousand Lakes association in
his report of the season just passed.
But it has scratched to good adj
vantage, Judging by the figures in
Mr.. Hotaling's report.
He says that eight hundred thou
sand tourists came to Minnesota last
SUMMER, and that they spent fifty
million dollars in the state.
That almost seems like an incredi-
Bile sum, yet it is only little over
sixty dollars for each of the eight
hundred thousand tourists, and il
they averaged no more than that they
get off cheaper than most of US do
when we go a-touring.
Though last summer was the cold
est in years, still the tourist traffic
in the state gained twenty-six per
cent over that for last year, accord
ing to Mr.. Hotaling.

J. B. Decreases
in Minnesota
Says Report
SHARP DECLINE RECORDED IN
LAST 5 YEARS-DEATH RATE
74.2 IN 100000 POPULATION IN
1923.

Death from tuberculosis is on the
decrease in Minnesota, the state ad-
visory commission for county sani-
tcriums declared in a report made
From 1900 to 1915, it was increasing
1915 slow decline is recorded and
in the last five years that decline has
been sharp.
"A decrease of more than 81 per
cent in the tuberculosis death rate
has been made since 1913" the re-
port said. From 1915 to 1920 there
were on an average 627 beds avail
able in the state and county sanitori-
ums for consumptive patients. In
1915, for the first time in Is years,
the number of deaths did not increase
and the rate for each 100000 popula-
ton dropped from HOP to 1929. The
further decline in the rate to 1889
for each 100000. For the year 1923,
alone. the rate was TAP with total
deaths from tuberculosis numbering
1856.
Should the increase in the number
of deaths during the Is years from
1900-1915 have continued unchecked,
there would have been 2,S4O deaths
from tuberculosis in 1928 instead of
1855. This means a saving of 935
lives and if figured at $4,000 yalua-
ton each, represents in cold dollar
and cents calculation a saving of S4,-
$4,000 to the state in 1928 alone.
"The effects of concentrated efforts
against tuberculosis in those counties
maintaining sanatoriums is shown by
the decrease in the tuberculosis death
rate of ~ per cent in the past five
years alone compared to the decrease
of only II per cent in the balance of
the state. While the state sanatoria
has been available to all residents of
the state and many were admitted to
county sanatoria whose counties were
not maintaining tuberculosis hospit-
ais, the influence on the incidence of
tuberculosis hospitals, from year to
year has not been such as to result
in the marked reduction shown in
those counties having their own ir-
stitutions."
Thirty-seven Minnesota counties
have sanatoriums.

For good many years she's been
smoothing out the path of life for
your feet to tread. She may never
have explained the Einstein theory
to you or told you all about the lat

kept your fool ideals from getting
you in bad more than once. Her
memory's no good when it comes to
recalling the boners you've pulled,
but she'll tell your father you're the
greatest boy on earth, bar none.

That the glories of the north shore
trip are becoming known is shown by
the fact that the international bound
airy station at Pigeon river reports
5000 cars this year against 4,7OO
last year. ~
This is very rich industry, and
as Mr.. Hotaling points out when he
says that so far the surface has only
been scratched, Minnesota is just be-
ginning to capitalize it. 1t not only
brings in money, but if the tourists
that come are we'll treated and have

thusiastic advertising agents for the
