Minnesotans cannot afford through the sale of 25,000,000 to neglect this most valuable investment in health, the world’s geratest commodity, made possible through the purchase of Red Cross Christmas Seals. Why, the state’s allotment of $250,000, and even the national fund of $6,500,000 to be raised through the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, is but a drop in the bucket compared to the R PR sum which ought to be spent in the United States. - ; 0- every year in fighting disease A dispatch fiom Lomdon, dated October 24, declares that a dispatch from Cardiff, Wales, Paris has contracted for 6,000, States for use of gas, steam an to continental points. , says a large coal company in 000 tons of coal in the United d ordinary coal, to be shipped But it would seem not to be as important | street gang, street ia a matter as the liquor law enforcement amendment, vetoed by .the nation’s “chief executive.” _—C The fact that the coal miners are standing “pat” on their declaration to strike November cern if this snow fall would let —0 That “flying parson” has fellows. 0. 1st wouldn’t be so much con- up. one’ great advantage over his He knows how to pray when a squall rocks the boat.

NEWSOF THE THEATERS JACK PICKFORD—REX. “Bill Apperson’s Boy,” in which Jack Pickford will be seen at the Rex theatre tonight and tomorrow, takes one into the midst of one of the most curious peoples of the United States, the Blue Ridge mountaineers. Laid somewhere among the many ranges of this great group which stretch as far north as New York state, as far south as Alahama, and as|: f.r west. as- Kentucky, “the picture rives -n intimate idea of how the Blue Ridge folks live. L) Buddy Apperson, who is portrayed by Mr. Pickford, is typical of these people who are said to be thq purest descendants of English, Scotch and Scotch-Irish stock to be found any- where in the United States, due to the fact that they have not mingled with other races here as have other immigrants. There is a pretty love story in “Bill Apperson’s Boy,” telling how Buddy courted Martha Yarnton, and how his affection for her led him into the crisis -which came on the night he left his father’s house.

Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a !arge bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Ev- erybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenlv. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray - hair disappears, and after another application or two,l your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. 7 Make your appointments by phone 776-J J.
