Grandmother kept her hair beau- tifully darkened, glossy and aftrac- tive withj a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. ' Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonde#ful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon_ to. restore natural color and beauty to:the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth’s.

Paris.—Americans who had been trying to draw the fire of certain Ger- man batteries used an alarm clock to fool Fritz and caused the Germans useless expenditure of large quantities of machine gun and rifle ammunition. In order to fool the Germans an Amer- ican patrol leader tucked an alarm clock under his arm and crept into “No Man's Land” in the darkness, fastening the clock to a wire.*® Soon the alarm rang, whereupon the Germans opened fire. The alarm had been so arranged that the clock cut loose intermittently, and each time drew a violent fire from the enemy. Meanwhile the Americans rested in their trenches and enjoyed e hearty laugh. e A BOY’S INITIALS ON- INSTEP Girl’'s Love Changes and She Now Finds Tattooing. Is Embar- rassing. .

It is oi}é of the results of the war. Here are the facts stated just as briefly as'possible: AR £ e . $iia 1st. The war is causing a very, heavil& increased demand for coal as-you know. 2nd. There is plenty of coal to be mined, but labort mine it and railroad cars and engines to haul it are very scarce. -~ . 8rd. Just now, Before harvest, the railroads are not 8o busy as they: will be when harvest begins. They are overloaded now, but they- will be litterally swamped when grain begins to move, and the grain MUST move. _ 4th. If only one-half of the peoplel ‘who need coal next winter wait to get theirs as usual, until they need it, there wi! be a coal famine in December, January ‘and February such as you never dreamed of, because dealers can’t possibly stor enough now to fill the demand then. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS COAL FAMINE is for you and everyone else to BUY NOW and .STORE I_‘IOWV IN YOUR OWN BIN all the coal you will need next winter. The railroads can haul it now. They can’t later. Now do you see clearly why ybu MUST order and"STORE a winter’s supply of coal AT ONCE? R Remember; your order must be in writing—that is a Gov- ernment rule. +'And orders are to be filled in the rotation re- ceived. There may not be enough coal to fill orders that are placed late. i k ¢ We cannot deliver coal at any time to anyone»w}lo has not placed a.written order; and w: cannot promise to deliver ANY coal next winter to anyone who does not’place a written order now. : If you are one of the few who have not placed your written order, BEWARE—you are taking dangerous chances. é COAL IS CASH. We can’t carry coal accounts, you must get the money and pay when you order, or when the coal is delivered. The Gov: ernment has fixed the price at which we sell and it allow for credit coal. ; —— PHONES 0 _Phone 850 BEMIDJI, Dresses.worth up to $32.50, your choice - $19.95 i neider Bros.
