SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
RESTORE FADED AND GUM
HAIR TO NATURAL COLOR—
DANDRUFF QUICKLY REMOVED
There is noth'ng now about "lie
idea of using srge for restoring the
color of the hair. Our great-grand-
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using a "sage tea. '
whenever their iiair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked appear-
ance they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair,
with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don';, have to resort
to old time, tiresome methods of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chem-
ists better than we could do it our-
selves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready-made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
remedy, containing sage in the
proper strength with the addition of
sulphur, another old time scalp
remedy.
The manufacturers of this' reme-
dy authorize druggists to sell it un-
der guarantee that the money will
be refunded if ' fail" io do exactly
as represented.
Don't neglect you ban. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today and notice -ue difference af-
ter a few days' use.
This preparation is offered to he
public at fifty cents a bottle anil is
recommended and sold by all drug-
gists.

Science Responsible for More Built-
Up Words Than Classic English
Ever Dreamed Of.
"Esophagoscopy" is one of the
newest words which the scientist of
necessity has coined. As science has
progressed In its many lines, it has
been responsible for more "built-up"
terms than classic English could have
dreamed of.
Take this new word, "esophagos-
copy." It is a combination of tho noun
"esophagus," meaning the channel
through which the food from the
mouth reaches the stomach, while
the last two syllables are mode of
"scope"—as used in telescope, micro-
scope, spectroscope. Thus the com-
bination suggests a way and means
for allowing the surgeon to look down
the esophagus In search of foreign
obstructions or of injuries to the or-
gan.
One of the leading physicians of St
Paul has been gathering statistics
showing the enormous number and
variety of foreign substances that are
swallowed by persons of all ages and
which often result fatally. He says
that in almost any case of the kind a
pin, needle, button, hone and even
teeth plates are swallowed and in the
beginning may be little more than an
unpleasantness. Here is the oppor-
tunity for using the esophagoscope.
Before the sharp substance has a
chance to perforate the esophagus the
combined mirror and electric light
may bo Inserted, tbe object seen and
removed without harm. If the ob-
struction be left, however, it starts
Irritation, becomes a festering wound
which almost invariably will cause
death.

Death of Miss Lidia Bonds.
Mi»s Lidia Bonds died at tlie

man, in this city Sunday afternoon

vices were held at the residence Mon-
day afternoon at 1:30, conudcted by
Rev, J. L. Truett, pastor of the
Calvary Baptist church. The burial
took place at the Belew cemetery, 3
miles south of town

her family. There were twelve
children, s x boys and six girls tbe

Saved His Wife's Life.
"My wife would have been In her
grave today," writes O. H. Brown,
of Muscad ne, Ala., "if It bad not
been for Dr. King's New Discovery.
She was down in her bed, not able
to get up without help. She had
a 'evere bronchial trouble and a
dreadful cough. I got her a bottle
of Dr. ivlng'g New Discovery, and
she soon began to mend, and was
well in a short time." Infallible

Paul McGregor loves to have bis
mother tell him stories. Also he likes
to have his young friends come and
share tho stories. Sometimes it hap-
pens that a boy who is persona non
grata with Paul will drop in for a sit-
in and then the host grows restive.
The stories, he stoutly tells his moth-
er, are for him and his friend3 only.
The presence of others spoils the re-
cital.
It was on a recent evening, in the
midst of a fairy tale, that a kid for
whom Paul entertains no friendship,
dropped in with the others, and im-
mediately Paul sniffed. Then he spoke
up, interrupting the tale, saying,
"Bilke Wilke ain't got no sore on his
band."
"Yes, he has, too," rejoined the un-
welcome boy, "1 seen him only to-
day."
"Don't care," said Paul, stolidly.
"Billy Wilke ain't got no sore on his
hand."
Again the other boy denied it, but
Paul kept right on reasserting the
statement.
"I'll just go and see," finally said

Slang has at last compelled the court
to take judicial notice of it. An em-
ploye in talking to his foreman re-

and the court, on appeal from a
judgment for damages for an injury re-
sulting from the breaking of the belt
(Hortman vs. Staver Carriage com-
pany, 153 111. App. 130), refused to
hold that he meant "decayed," and
said:

But Bristow Didn't Want To.
At the Country club luncheon to
President Taft at Hutchinson one of
the guests desired to secure a valu-
able souvenir of thc occasion. So he
got a piece of writing paper and asked
each of the principal guests to write
a Bne of sentiment and ngn it.
President Taft led off with an obser-
vation on golf and signed it. Other
guests followed suit. When the paper
reached Senator Bristow he scratched
his head a moment, and remarked,
"Oh, what shall I say?"
"Say any old thing," put in Senator
Emerson Carey of Reno. "Just write
'I am for Taft.""
As quick as a flash President Taft

ern Amusement company will pre-
sent an elaborate revival of Thomas
Dixon's powerful drama, "The Clans-
man," which has not been seen here
lor three years.
"he Clansman," as is generally
known, is a dramatization of Mr.
Dixon's two most famous and widely
read books, "The Clansman" and
"The Leopard Spots." The drama
na„ long siuce been declared one of
the greatest in the history of the
stagp and it st.il holds the record
of being the most widelv discussed
play that, thas ever been produced.
The story is too firmly impressed
upon the minds of every Southerner
to need repetition. The sincerity with
whicjj It tells of incidents in the
South during the memorable recon-
struction period s well known
throughout the whole country The
action oi the P'ay takes place in a
little town among the South Carol-
ina foot hills.
A potent element of "The Clans-
man" is the charm of tli0 Southern
country it so fa.thfully reproduces
It inculcates Southern patriotism and
all of its characters are tru^ types of
tbe peoplp of this section as they
were forty years ago and as they
are today.
For the revival of "The Clans-
man" the management has provided
an entirely new scenic product.on
and a specially engaged <ompany ol
ipable players, which numbers forty
people. Complete new costumes
have also been furnished so the
coming production will be market,

The si'" .an W feature of thi
Is still maintained by the troop

tho Ku Klux Klan on the stage and
the original electrical e fects have
