Another wanted to buy a home and hc went Another wanted a good investment he also went wrong. They did uot exercise its much care and judgment as a man ordiuarilv doe In buying a pair of boots. Instead of finding out what there was in the marker they bought without much consideration and so made unwise bargains or perhaps got defective titles or had their papers so crudely drawn as to breed litigation.

There ,8 one party In I'ittston who lias been selling real estate here for thirty eight years who lias not yet bad any litigation grow out of his sales nor has he sold a defective title. He now has some great bargains In homes, busi ness places and Investment properties for cash or monthly installments. See me or W. N. Thompson now.

He had wheat and crops ln the ground, but he could not eil them, for there was no money xtt the ountrv to buy with. He wais in great trouble, when a man named Chamberlain came to hm and offered him a horse if he would go, after it, and then build a house for him after ward. This was a providential prospect of relief and he thankfully accepted the terms. The horse was 25 or 30 miles away, but he set. out to walk the di tance.

His way lay through th deep, dark forest which covered the land except wihere small clearings had been made by settlers. He had no shoes and the path was rough.

They made, a "sage tea," and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate wisdom of our grandmothers in using "sage flea" for their hair and are fast following suit, The present generation' haw the advantage of the past in that it can get a ready to use preparation called Wy eth's Sage, and. Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this paration in vastly superior to the ordinary tea" made by our grandmothers.

The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp.
