Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

^ Grandmother kept her hair heautl
fuViy darkened, glossy and attractive
s"- • with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on tint dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” you will get a large bot
tle of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other Ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
'rhs hair.
A well-known downtown drmmi'-t
rays everybody uses Wyeth'.s f; o and
butphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally nml evenly that
nobody can tell It has been applied—
It’s so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the euro, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.

Somebody should donate this ace
of spades some coal for he is deter- j
mined to keep out winter’s chilling j
blasts if he is forced to burn a whole
dry goods store, says the Jonesboro j
Sun. So is the case of E. Hatcher,
negro. He was fined $25 Monday
morning charged with the malicious ;
destruction of property, having,
burned six shirtwaists and four
skirts belonging to the woman with
whom he boarded. It seems that the
negro got cold, and having no wood
or coal to burn, went to the dresser
drawer when nobody else was at
i home and secured the contents and
I built a fire in the stove with them.

If there were any violations of the
city statutes last night and this
morning the perpetrators escaped
the watchful eye of the law, as a re
sult of which no cases were docketed
in the police court, this being the se
cond day in succession that such a
circumstance has existed.
o o o
Officers continue to keep a con
stant watch on incoming trains, but
he past few days no one has
been found invading dry territory
from the wet districts of Missouri.
Of course whiskey is coming into
Newport, probably every day, but for
resorting to schemes calculated to
fool the most diligent official, the
bootlegger is a past master, and
bcoze will continue to reach Newport
so long as booze is available. Thirty
states have ratified the federal pro
hibition amendment, and when six
more take the step, ratification will |
be completed, which means that a
long step will have been taken to
ward wiping out the evil.

V.-. P. DAVIS, ,
!ld2t 40wl Tuckcrman, Ark.
Henry Davis, a Company E lad,
who has returned to his home just I
below Newport, is taking pleasure j
in denying the report that he was
killed in action, into the spirit of
which rejoicing his friends and fam
ily have entered heartily. It jvill be
remembered that young Davis was
reported in a casualty list some time
ago as having been killed in battle.
The facts in the case are that Davis
was almost killed, but regained his
health in a hospital in France, after
having been shot in the knee and
leg.
Our good and genial friend, Chas.
E. Smith, cashier of the Citizens

man, was in the city for a short
time last night. His face was
wreathed in smiles, but he would not
divulge the cause of his elation until
he was ready to board the train for
Little Rock. Then it was that he
announced that he was on his way to
Little Rock to see Charlie E. Smith,
Jr., who was born yesterday, the
mother, formerly Miss Cecile Thi
bault of this city, being at the home
of her parents in the capital city.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith will receive the
congratulations of a host of friends
in Jackson county.

Batesville, Jan. 11.—A double bur
ial was held at Moorefield Thursday
when Mumford Pool, aged ?p, and his
granddaughter, aged 8, were buried
at the same hour. Mr. Mumford was
a respected citizen of the county. He
leaves a wife and three children, two
sons and one daughter.
A sad feature of the sickness and
death of the two members of the
same family is the serious illness of
the entire remaining members of the
family. On account of the illness of
this family the funeral services were
postponed until later.

Bladder bothers you.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged -
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu
[ mntic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders. -
1 You simply must keep your kidney®
active and clean, and the moment you
1 feci an ache or pain in the kidney
, region, get about four ounces of JadL
; Salts from any good drug store here,
' take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
- before breakfast for a few days and
! vour kidneys will then act fine. Tnio
famous salts is made from the acid of
: grapes and lemon juice, combined with
• lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
; kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
’ in the urine so it no longer irritates,
1 thus ending bladder disorders.
.Tad Salts is harmless;'inexpensive;
| makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should take
' now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
1 thus avoiding Berious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
• sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
