PRECINCTS OF CITY
WILL BE REDUCED
Plan to Save $40,000 in Cost
of Elections Adopted; Ze
mansky Doubts Result
Responding to the request of the
North of Panhandle Improvement
club that steps be taken to cut down
the increasing cost of elections, the
election commission has decided to re
duce the number of precincts from 673
to 400. This will mean an annual sav
ing of approximately |40,000. Regis
trar Zemansky, although adopting the
plan, has his misgivings. He pdtats
out that with fewer precincts it will
take all night to count the vote, that
the clerks will be worn out from their
long service and that it will be espe
cially hard on the women workers.
The new plan will be tried at the
next election, the August primary for
governor and other state officials.

Doctors Said tie Had Dropsy.
Some time ago I had an attack of
grippe, which finally settled in my
kidneys and bladder. I doctored with
the doctors, and they claimed I had
dropsy. I tried other remedies and got
no relief from any of them. My con
dition was such that I was unable to
work for about two months, and the
annoying symptoms caused me a great
deal of trouble and pain. I was hardly
able to turn over In bed. Seeing one
of your Almanacs. I decided to give
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial, and
after taking several bottles was able
to resume my work again. I can not
say too much in praise of your Swamp-
Root, as the results in my case were
truly wonderful.
Yours very truly,

ite Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur
Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
| ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any drug store for "Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Reme
dy," you will get a large bottle of this
famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
I can possibly tell that you darkened
i your hair, as It does It so naturally
i and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
! soft brush with it and draw this
• through your hair, taking one small
| strand at a time; by morning the gray
i hair disappears, and after another
'■■ application or two your hair becomes
j beautifully dark, thick and glossy.
