I 5 Mixed With Sulphur it Darkens Beauj tifully and Takes off Dandruff. J Almost every one knows that Sage ’ Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ’ ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streakj ed or gray; also cures dandruff, it«h- --) ing scalp and stops falling hair. ) Years ago the only way to get thia 9 mixture was to make it at home, u which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this 5 better than ourselves. By asking at 1 any drug store for the ready-to-use product-called “Wyeth’s Sage and j Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will get 5 a large bottle for about fifty cents. Some druggists make their own but - It’s usually too sticky, so insist upon j getting “Wyeth’s," which can be de--9 pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is the best 8 remedy for dandruffs dry, feverish, 0 itchy scalp and to stop falling hair. ) Folks like “Wyeth's Sage and Sul9 ' phur” because no one can possibly tell J that you darkened your hair, as it j does it so naturally and evenily, says j a well-known down-town druggist. 5 Y’ou dampen a sponge or soft brush 1 and draw it through your hair, taking , one small strand at a time. This requires but a few moments, by morning the gray hair disappears and after another application or two is restored to its natural color and looks even 1 more beautiful and glossy than ever.

THAT SI AI DE FOR GEN. LEE No Other Southam Gonoral Has Re oelved Statuery Recognition at the Natlon'e Capital. Southern congreaimen are kept al their wits’ end explaining to their con atltuents the preponderance of mono menta to Union aoldlen In Waahlng ton. Except for the statue of Robert E. Ijee, placed In Statuary hall by the state of Virginia, no southern genera’ has received statuary recognition h Washington. The other day Congressman W. 8 Howard of Atlanta, Ga., was taking • resident of that city to the Capitol irj the street car. As the car rounded; the curve at the Peace monumeni near the foot of the Capitol Repre sentatlve Howard pointed out to hit friend the great statue to Gen. U. 8 Grant being erected in the Botanlt Gardens. His friend looked at the monument, which covers a largr ground space, and observed: “They ought to put up a statue ti 1 General Lee near by.” “Well, Lee has a statue here and it ! covers more ground space than anj other statue to a human being In tht I whole world.” replied Representatlv* Howard. "I would like to see It. Where ir It?" exclaimed hls friend, excitedly. "Oh, it’s over here at sth and T streets,’’ replied Mr. Howard, dryly "They call It the pension office.” WHITE HOUSE TREE PASSES Sliver Maple. 75 Years Old, Is Re moved to Save Others on Lawn. Old age and decay have spelled th, passage of one of the stateliest an< most dignified trees on the Whtt« House grounds. To the left of the Pennsylvanli avenue entrance to the White Hous, and not far from the executive office, has stood for the last 75 years a fin, old silver maple tree. As far as conk be learned it had no distinguished pedigree, like some of the trees or: the grounds that have been planted by presidents, but has stood through many presidential administrations ai a distinct ornament to the grounds. Lately It became so feeble that th, superintendent of the grounds fearer it would fall over, and ordered it cm down. Right next to It is a young oal tree which was planted by President McKinley and nearby ere some Jap anese trees. All of these were Ir daily danger from the old maple, Be It had to go. A younger tree may b, planted In its place and President Taft may be invited. If he cares to de so, to preside at the planting. SNEEZE BREAKS A RIB Washington Man After Ordinary Sneeze Has to Call Physician to Stop the Pain. Joseph E. Flynn, assistant station master at Union station. Is suffering from a broken rib caused by a sneeze While on duty a few nights ago Mr Flynn felt an inclination to sneeze and. as he had done many times be fore, gave way to it, promptly sneez ing. There followed at once a pain in his side. The pain grew- worse, sc much so that an injection of morphine was necessary to ease it. Physicians examined Flynn and found a broken rib. Flynn is thirty-nine years old. stands about 6 feet 2. and tips the scales at 200. From his couch In a hospital he said he had sneezed all of hls life, but never had any bad results from it until the rib broke. "Well." said he to his doctor, “I am glad I haven’t hay fever.” Money for Wedding Present!. The wedding present of money has received the stamp of approval and I hereafter It will be perfectly proper J for any one desiring to get rid of the burden of buying a wedding present ’ to send a check, according to the , Philadelphia Inquirer. A few years ago no one would have thought of giving a sum of money to a bride, but Its convenience and practicability was at once manifest and it was permitted when coming from a near relative. But It was not until a couple of years ago that It received the necessary hallmark of royal approval to make It generally acceptable to society. The approval came from no less a person than Queen Alexandra, who sent a friend a check for SIOO. Her majesty probably did It because she was In deep mourning and could not do any personal shopping, and so, to avoid sending a gift that might be duplicated, she forwarded a check. Since then brides and bridegrooms have had reason to rejoice, and at every big wedding nowadays the item "check" figures frequently in lists of wedding presents. None Too Honest. Chauncey Depew was discussing In Washington the methods of a certain corporation. “Such methods," said Senator De pew, “may not be considered dishonest by some people, but they remind me of the reply of a debutante of “ ’Does your fiance know your ageT a girl friend rather cruelly asked this debutante, as they sat on the beach mending their bathing suits. “ ‘Well.—partly,' was the reply.” Indispensable. Mrs Gigthorn—Do you mean to say you smoke the nasty little things In your own house? Mrs. Leader —Only whwf we are doing amateur theatricals. You cant present a society drama, you know, without them.
