SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay GraylHere’s An Old-Time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out dr took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy dnd out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old . recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff. dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or Soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant. »

“THE NAKED TRUTH” WELL PRESENTED

High School Class Play Delighted Two Very Large Audiences—Well sr Selected Cast. Bunny Darrell—Gaylord Long. Jas. Darrell—Bunny’s Uncle.. Glen Swaim. a Mr. Hayter—Wm. Eigelsbaeh. Teddy Lestrange—Harry English. Dr. Masters—Manley Price. Prosser, Bunny’s secretary—George Padgitt. - Hammond, maid—Esther Wiseman. Mr. Sawyer—Fred Putts. ' Mr. Freeman—-Russell Warren. a Mrs. Duckett—Marie Hamilton. ’ Mrs. Darrell, Bunny’s mother —Ada Huff. • Mrs. Hayter—Marguerite Brown. Nora Creighton, Bunny’s fiancee — Edith Sawin. Madame Favre, Nora’s friend —Lucy Brusnahan. < Alice Thomas—Pianist. The above was the past of characters that presented in a very able manner the <hree-act comedy entitled “The Naked Truth.” The cast was chosen from the graduating class and was well selected. Each made a distinct hit and the large crowds that witnessed the performance Monday and Tuesday evening at Ellis, theatre gave the performers liberal and well-deserve’d applause. The play was somewhat different from those employed during former years. The amusing situations centered around “Bunny” Bernard, who

jvas a member of a firm of brokers and'engaged to a pretty young lady. Everything was going on smoothly when his uncle, who had just returned from India presented him with a nng which he had found while abroad. The ring caused its-wearer to depart from his usual custom of diplomacy and tact and to tell the plain truth ph all occasions. He criticised his mother for the way she wore her hair, he pained his fiancee for lack of taste and mental power, he exposed his firm of brokers and enraged his aged uncle by his criticism. An entanglement with a married woman which he had kept secret before was now related to the woman’s husband, who was the president of the firm of brokers and, his indiscreet tongue led to many complications that were not righted until the cause of it all was found to be the ring he wore. His sweetheart then‘threw the ring into a deep well and everything ended happily. Gaylord Long was very admirable in the difficult role of “Bunny” and was ably supported by all performers. Especially did Miss Ada Huff, as Bunny’s mother, and Miss Edith Sawin, as his fiancee, pUy their parts well Harry English, aS Teddy Lestrange, William Eigelsbaeh as Mr. Hayter, Marguerite Brown as his wife and Glen Swaim as Bunny’s uncle, acquitted themselves creditably. Marie Hamilton, Lucy Brusnahan, Esther Wideman, George Padgitt and Manley Price also carried their parts in a manner to secure forthem many favorable comments and the play proved one of the most satisfactory commencement plays ever given here. & . *

The driver was unable • to stop- the car and it plunged into the mud in the deep ditch beside the road. Four of the occupants were thrown out but driver was able to retain his place at the wheel. No one was injured and the automobile was not damaged. Frank and David McCuaig, of Monticello, who were on the road coming from the opposite direction, witnessed the accident and went to the rescue.

Second Transfusion of Blood Was Very Effective.

Rex Warner, accompanied by Dr. Washbum, went to Chicago Tuesday and at the Augustana hospital, where Mrs. Grant Warner it a patient, Rex again submitted to an operation by which a pint of his blood was transfused to his mother. The second transfusion was very successful and Mrs. Warner was flushed with more color than she had possessed for a long time. Shortly the operation for tire removal of the, spleen is to be performed and the success oft some operations previously performed lead to the hope that Mrs. Warner may be restored to health. In the hospital Tuesday was a woman whose condition had been somewhat worse than that of Mrs. Warner. She underwent the same operations during March of 1914 and is now enjoying quite good health. Ibis encouraging word will be very cheering. to the many friends of Mrs. Warner, who ardently hope for her restoration to health.

Makes Suggestion That Should Be Carried Out.

Matt Worden, the harness dealer, made a suggestion Tuesday that seems worthy of adoption. It is that the basement of the court house be kept open on Sundays *so that the toilet rooms can be reached, especially the ladies’ toilet and rest room. Chester Zeo verified Mr. Worden’s statement that last Sunday from 25 to 50 women tried to enter the closet and failing to find it open went to houses in the neighborhood for accommodations. Especially shoul<the cleets be available for use on Sundays when the band concerts are giv,en. The commissioners should take jthis matter up, and offer this convenience to the visitors in town, who are usually country people or those from other nearby towns.

The Indiana Democratic Editorial .Association is being escorted over the state this week under the leadership of Boss Taggart. Just to make the machine-control of the democratic press solid Roger Sullivan, denounced by W. J. Bryan in Illinois, is participating in the\events at Hammond. The conviction of Donn Roberts, of Terre Haute, has by no means dampened the ardor of Tom Taggart, who with his broad smile 'and his fat purse will make any newspaper that noes not give him support after this excursion persona non grata.

FOREIGNERS COMPLAIN THEY WERE DECEIVED

German-Hungarians On Springer Ranch Are Suffering and Without Funds or Provisions. The Republican is reliably informed that there are a number of GermanHungarians who were brought to the Springer ranch by the colonization agent, who are destitute and are in almost a starving condition. It is said by a man who speaks their language that they were induced to put up all the money they had when they made their purchase and were promised wages while putting out their crops, but that they have worked for several weeks and have received no pay. N. Piklor, who was the agent who brought them there, has withdrawn, it is said, from the company and a man named McKay is now in charge. The foreigners say they have been put off from week to week apd that they are desperate and there is some times talk of mutiny. According to an informant there are twentythree families there without any funds at all and they are living mightily scantily. Michael Jungles, a prosperous farmer living near there, has trusted a number of them son potatoes and supplied them with skimmed milk. The men seem honest add most of them came from the same small town in Hungary. They speak the German language, having mostly gone to Hungary from Germany. There are a number of children among them and the little fellows, boys and girls, get right out and work hard in the truck patches and need plenty of wholesome food, but it is said they are without bread or flour and are subsisting on almost nothing. Pickles were to have been raised and several prepared land for them, but the seed has not been supplied as promised, it is told, and there is complaint about this also. If the agent does not come down and make a payment to these people there will be much more suffering and it might be a good thing fpr the board of charities of this city to make an investigation.
