BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Here's Grandmother’s Recipe to Dark- en and Beautify Faded Hair, That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew- ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm, It makes or mars the face, When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the mix- ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for 50 cents a large bottle, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur compound, This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lus- tre of your hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth’s” Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens 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 the hair, taking one small strand at atime; by morning the gray hair has | disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. This ready to use preparation is a delight: ful toilet requisite for those who de- sire dark hair and a youthful appear- ance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. ——— The S. S. or- chestra will assist the large chorus at the evening service.

D., ‘March 31.—The sensation of a typical Non-partisan league meeting held here last even- ing was an announcement iby Boss Townley to the effect that he intends to permit the league to elect its own officers—next winter, which is along way off. Townley told the leaguers how “Howard, here,” referring to H. ‘R. Wood, speaker'of the last house, “and his father and two or three more,” after they had been working several weeks and “found that this thing would go, “took a piece of paper and wrote down on it the league pro- gram—the things WE had decided to ‘work ior, And WE wrote on it the names of these five men as the offi- cers and the committee, and MY name went on it as president,” and that was all there was to the only election of officers which the ‘Non- partisan league has had to date, this auto-election, in which the officers were nominees, candidates and elect- ors, “both all three. This “Big Five,” Mr. Townley an- nounced last night, will continue to until winter, run the league next when, Townley suggested, men like Hagan and iLageson, who obeyed every mandate of the Big Boss in the last legislature, should be named. F. B. Wood, said Townley, wants to quit the vice presidency, and “Mr. Evans, the secretary, is an organizer,” whom the league needs to pus its propa- ganda in other states. Townley Gives Up. “You will have to select some farmers to run your state organ tion, men like Lageson here, or H gan. 1 am not going to run it any more after that,” said Townley in ar- ranging next winter's election. “Howard Wood is now the manager of the work in this state. He is a farmer, You are going to select farmers—men of your own choice— to run the work in this state. That ought to suit even Je Bacon.” Then Mr. Townley trotted out a representative of a St. Paul audit company, Who read a statement of the financial condition of the league for the “first organ ion period,” showing that the “fig Five” had col- lected from the farmers 3 and that it had spent all but TA4.11 of that amount.

FLOOD WATERS MAROON SCORES IN THEIR HOMES United Press) Minneapolis, March 31.—A_ torrent of flood waters that descended early today upon the residents of Passett’s Creek valley, Minneapolis, caught a score of families in their beds, ma- rooned them until rescue parties had arrived, flooded buildings throughout the district, tied up street car service and kept fire and police rescue crews at work for three hours. The onslaught of the flood was so sudden that many families awoke to find the water running over their beds. In alarm they arms and began discharging them, ter- rorizing residents within a mile of PERFECT HEALTH HOW GAINED? (By Dr, L. W. Bowers.) The late S. Weir Mitchell, M. D., in his ‘book, entitled, “Wear and Tear,” has well said, “To insure per- fect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendor or muscle should take from the ‘blood certain materials and_re- turn to it certain others. * * * This process in perfect health is a system of mutual assurance, and is probably essential to a condition of entire vig- or of both mind and body Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cel Woman is not quite so rich, for scl- entists have proved that the normal number of red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four and one half million to the square millimeter, The normal cell is not absolutely round in health, but in disease be- comes extremely irregular in shape. ‘Everyone can be in perfect health and possess the millions of rich red blood corpuscles if he only knows how to go about it. Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., ad- vises every man and woman to purify the blood by observing nature’s laws. In the first place, If your digestion is faulty, and the food you eat is not properly assimilated and taken up by the blood, you need a tonic and diges- tive corrector, something that will in- crease the red ‘blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in na- ture’s own way. Years ago, in his active practice, Dr. Pierce found that an alterative extract of certain herbs and roots put up without alcohol, or in tablet form, would put the liver, lungs and heart into more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By promoting assimilation it nourish- es the ‘blood, and instead of the ill- shaped corpuscles, the person’s blood grasped fire {* takes on a rich red color and the cor- Puscles are more nearly round, Bismarck Infirmary of Osteopathy Drs.
