ffl FOLKS UWE EfiM ffl NOW Well-known local druggist says everybody is using old-time recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns pray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. . Nowadays we get this famous mixture bv asking'at any drug store for a6O cent bottle of ‘'Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” which darkens the hair so naturally. so evenly, that nouody can possibly tell it has lieen applied. Resides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and failing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with i. and draw this through your hair, taking one sm.Ml strand nt a time. By mornin'’ the gray hair disappears: hut what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it all appearance o’ aLiuwiaJice.

STRANGE_STORY B. F. Woods Meets Man Whose Arm He Shot Off in Yellow Bayou Battle. MANY YEARS AGO Never Knew Who He Was Till He Heard His Story — Here. Muskogee, Okla., Sept 10, 1015. Dear Comrade Zeublln: —Just received yotir very kind card, with reference to publishing the names and addresses of all comrades who answer your card of invitation, but we are not able to, attend the reunion. If you present this matter to the dear old boys they may vote to have this change made, and should they do this it will entail additional work for our beloved secretary So, enclosed find one dollar to help pay for this extra trouble. I was delighted with me poem read by Mrs. Nettie Lewis, Colonel Cravens’ daughter. 1 do not think of two comrades in the 89th regiment that I delight to hear more than those two officers, Colonel Cravens and Captain Gifford. You will remember that in the second charge in that battle of Yellow Bayou, when so many of our comrades were killed, we came to the final trying to dislodge the Johnnies who had thrown down a rail fence and lay behind the rails, piled up to protect them, and we charged up within fifty feet of these piles of rails, and they still refused to fall back from this shelter. We were lying flat on the ground on our backs, to load, and turning over to fire. Every man of us were as flat on the ground as we could get and Colonel Cravens walked twenty feet behind us as_ straight as a palm tree, waving his sword, saying: “Give it to them, boys; every man stand to it.” This continued for five or six minutes—it semed to me an hour—and while we were afraid to raise our heads. Colonel Cravens stood by us. urging every man to stand, and when at last the rebels commenced to give way, he cried. “Charge them, boys; they are running.” We charged and took eighty-five prisoners in front of our regiment. Colonel Cravens came out of that battle the commanding officer with thirteen bullet holes through his blouse, but not a scratch on his body, if I mistake not. Our company mustered at roll cal! the next morning just nine men. and the regiment mustered forty-nine men, as I now remember it.

Comrades, please pardon me for reciting a personal reminiscence. You remember we had been a long time out and our clothing was badly worn, so I went into that battle barefooted. The first dead rebel I came to in the battle I laid down my gun and in less than a minute I had his shoes on, and was hurrying up to my place in the ranks, and a more easier pair of shoes 1 never wore. I think. We suffered no loss in the first charge. After the first charge we fell back to the place we occupied at the commencement of the battle. In about thirty minutes the rebel line of battle was on us again, except there was a growth of green briers about fifty feet wide between them and us. We were ordered to charge through this green brier thicket, which we could do only by following the numerous cow paths leading through it. I was right in position to be the first man to enter the path in front of us. I looked over the briers and saw a large ash tree standing close to where this path came through the thicket. I thought if I ran through the thicket first there would be rebels standing behind that tree, who would sure kill the first man, so I jumped out of the path, but the next, man jumped right in and that man shamed me, or made me ashamed. so 1 jumped right in behind him, and we ran thruogh and three rebels stood behind the ash tree with their guns leveled at the end of the path, not twenty feet from them. As we came out the path they all fired, but hit neither of us. The man before me and the man behind me rushed up to the tree and took two of the rebels prisoners. The other, a large man, ran. I hollowed. “Halt! halt! halt!’’ three times, and then drew up and took deliberate aim at his back, between his shoulders, and fired, and then watched to see him fall, but to my surprise he ran on just the same. I was a good shot and could not understand it. In 1880 I settled in Winfield. Kans., where I soon became acquainted with a large man with one arm. who had been in the rebel army. He and I were both prohibition workers and later were put on committee work together.

I said to him, "Did you lose your arm in the army?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Th what battle?” He said. “In the battle of Yellow Bayou.” 1 asked him to tell me all about it. And he told me just as I have recited it above, from the time we came through the green brier thicket. He said that three of them were behind a big ash tree, and two surrendered, but he ran. and a big Yankee took after him, and he ran on. and then fired an ( i tore that arm all to pieces for (wo inches, and the doctor took it off. the next day. He died four years ago, lamented and loved by all who knew him, but never knew my secret. Please remember me kindly and lovingly to all the dear comrades, especially to Company K. Am sorry I cannot be with you at Decatur, my old home. My sister, Mary Campbell, lives in Decatur, at 515 Jefferson street. She is one year my senior. I want you to cal! on her and her daughter if convenient. If Eli McCollum, John Barkley, or J. L. Judy, or all of them are there, please take them with you. She will be delighted to see you. Her daughter’s name is Bina Buhler. I will write them to look out for you. She may attend some of your meetings and make herself known to you. Tell the boy« I want , to meet them all in the assembly of those who have been twice born. Lovingly yours, in F. C. and L., B. F. Wood. 311 So. Eighth St. o INDICTMENTS ARE RETURNED. (United Press Service) Cliicago, 111., Sept. 22—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Indictments charging conspiracy and criminal carelessness for the Eastland disaster in which 812 lost their lives, were returned today by the federal grand jury against six steamship company officials and two federal government steamboat inspectors. o—— — IF BACKACHY ORKIDNEYS BOTHER Eat less meat and take a glass of Salta to flush out Kidneys— Drink plenty water. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night When the kidneys clog you must help them off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real side person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
