GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HAIR

She Mixed Sulphur With It to Restore Color, Gloss and Thickness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, 4s troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, takings one crrmll strand at a tame. By morning all gray'hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

Information is Wanted About Stolen Watches.

An advertisement in this issue oi’ The Republican is certain to attract considerable attention and it is hoped that it brings results. A little boy, only 7 years of age, who was playing with the children <xf Mrs. Taylor Boioourt found three gold watches in the Boicourt home and took them. He hdd them at first and later, according to his story, gave them away to some other little boy. He named several boys but none proved to be the one who had them and various methods uesd to get a confession from the little fellow have failed. If any parent has any knowledge of the whereabouts or one or more of these watches they will confer a favor by giving their information to Officer Critser or this office. The boy who took the watches is not well known here, having been here only a few weeks. It is probable that the lad did not realize what he was doing and that his refusal to tell what disposition he made of the watches is through fear-. —It is surely desirable that the watches be returned to the owner and the affair affecting the little boy thus brought to a solution.

Marion Again Goes “Dry,” This Time by Big Majority.

Marion voted “dry” Tuesday by a majority of 729, surprising even the most enthusiastic temperance advocates. Brookvilie voted “dry” by 49, putting three saloons out of business. Plymouth went “wet” by only 6 votes. All places showed big gains for the cause of temperance The saloon and brewery advocates are desperate and are organizing for a campaign of “education.” There is no education like experience and that has shown the corruption, the misery, the crime and the debauchery of the liquor business. There is a wave of reform that will make the country “dry” within a few years.

PERHAPS.

When cows fall ill the government proceeds to take alarm , And sends a veterinarian to sanitate the farm. The cow herself is put to bed and plied with drugs and pills, And Uncle Sam comes forward, when she’s cured, to pay the bills. But when a baby falls in need of medicine and care, The government contends that that is none of its affair. When pigs and lambs are threatened by a deadly pestilence Their tender lives are guarded at the government’s expense. They’re coddled, nursed and dieted until they’re well and fat, And never reckon of the cost—for Uncle Sam pays that. But when an epidemic marks the babies for its own The government, untroubled, lets them fight it out alone. Some day,, perhaps, when all the pork ha* lavishly been passed. When every scrap of patronage is handed out at last, When all our noble congressmen have got all they desire, And have attained whatever heights - to which they may aspire, To unknown heights of common-sense the government will leap And do as much for mothers as it does for cows and sheep. —Chicago Examiner.

WILL IMPROVE AIR LINE ROUTE

Meeting Will Be Held in Lafayette Friday to Perfect the Plans For Making the Route Attractive. Lafayette Journal, May 26, 1916. President Albert V. Weigle, of the Airline Dude Highway route, is communicating with the active members of (the association in each of the towns interested, seeking to arrange a meeting to be held in Lafayette at 1 o'clock Friday aftemooif to take the necessary steps to make the route the favored one for automobile travel between Chicago ana Indianapoiie. It is' expected that representatives will be present from Lebanon, Frankfort, Wolcott, Remington, Rensselaer, Crown Point and Hammond and plans for the improvement of the highway will be discussed at length. There are a few bad spots in the route and it iB planned to eliminate these at once. It is also a part of the program to oil the entire road as soon as the Speedway races are over. Thin will be the longest stretch of oiled highway in Indiana and will make a strong appeal to tourists. The

straightening of curves, cutting down grades and widening of the roadway in some places is also contemplated. Considerable advertising will be done in one way and another and the desirability of the route will be brought to the attention of motor clubs throughout the country. No other route offers so many advantages to the motorist ami it is certain that a great deal of the traffic between Indianapolis and Chicago can be diverted to this rente in spite of the fact that it was not designated as a part of the Dixie Highway by the commission. At all events it is the plan to make the route so attractive that motorists will not be able to resist its features of beauty and utility.

Willing to Take Contract For Garbage Collection.

E. C. Maxiwell called at The Republican today to say that if sufficient numbers of people will contract for the collection of garbage he will take the collection end and give the work systematic attention. Collections could be made weekly or twice a week as was necessary. It would >e necessary for each family to have a covered garbage can. By putting their names on the can they could be collected, taken to the dumping place and returned. 'Mr. Maxwell feels that if 150 or more would contract the price could be made something like 50 cents a month for each family, the collections being made as often as necessary. He will talk with Dr. Gwin, the city health officer, and will probably visit you with a paper and ascertain if you are willing to pay a reasonable price to have tins collection of garbage made. Germany yesterday captured 21,000 Russians. The French claim some successes on the western front, having captured a trench which the Germane had occupied for two weeks. Italy went across the Austrian border and captured several small towns and there are lively happenings all along the German and Austrian fronts. ■ Italy is now explaining why she entered the war. Of course, Austria is altogether to blame.
