Carelessness upon the part of the company's employes In putting the laterals where the city engineer dsignated and got his measurements from Is causing no end of trouble and annoyance to the plumbers and property owners and some times makes a several days' job out of what could have bee.n accomplished in a few hours had the work been initially correctly done.

A harmless remedy, made from

common garden sage, quickly restores

gray hair to natural color. The care

of the hair, to prevent it from losing

its color and lustre, is just as import

ant as to care for teeth to keep them

from discoloring. Why spend money

for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age

than wrinkles or a poor complexion?

Of the two, it is easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion.

All that is necessary is the occa

sional use of Wyeth's Sage and

Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable remedies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of this simple, harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no longer come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should. Don't neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never

j regret it when you realize the differ

ence u win make in your appearance.
