case her organization was put in
charge of it. She said that, while
she had never before been inside the
structure, and had planned only in
her mind, and only tentatively, she
thought a good disposition would be
to turn the upper floors into a wo
men’s hotel and the' basement Into a
cafeteria and swimming pool.
“And we would want the public to
use the building, too,” she said. 'We
would want the Boy Scouts, the wo
men’s clubs, the Rotary club and any
organizations or movements for the
betterment of mankind to make it
their headquarters.”
Rev. Guyton Fisher paid a high
tribute to the work of Captain Knox
and her associates in the short time
they have been here. He said he
would rather see the Salvation Ar
my in charg of the building than any
other organization. He showed what
Capt. Knox’s corps had done in
Brooklyn Heights where they had |
taken charge of the chapel Sunday
school, which was struggling along I
under the supervision of the church, .
but which has become a highly flour
ishing institution with a large regu
lar attendance.
After Rev. Mr. Baum had stated
the Salvation Army proposition in re
ply to a question from Stephen
Pace, Dr. R. P. Glenn, one of the
three local physicians who purchased
the Y. M. C. A. building at receiv
er’s sale, asked the privilege of the
floor.
Dr. Glenn Speaks.
“I wish to speak as a representa
tive of the parties who purchased
the property,” he said. “It has been
my desire 'ever since I became aware
that it was to be sold that this build
ing be kept for the common service.
The price was-carried where it was
by this group of physicians because
we believed the Salvation Army
could do what the Y. M. C. A. had
failed to do. All we ask now, in
turning it over to the Salvation Ar
my, is that we be relieved of the

there will be between $4,000 and SO,-

I I often had sick headache, and my liver
was lazy. Pains in the small of my back

“I have been taking Dreco now for

change in my condition. My food digests
as well as it ever did in my life, without
any gas at all. I never have a headache
nor pain in my back, and I lie down at
night and go right off into a restful

and I could talk for hours about the
good it aid me, and then not tell half.”
Many people are dally testing the
merits of Dreco in cases of gastritis,

RESERVE FAIR
EXHIBIT SPACE
NOWJS ADVICE
‘AU who intend to make exhibits
of any kind at the Sumter county
fair in October, or who desire con
cessions of any kind, should notify
me or George O. Marshall at once,” i
Secretary Joseph Perkins today asked
the Times-Recorder to inform the
public. This is the imperative, said
he, ‘because allotments of space must
be arranged for and made, and with
out information we can not make any
kind of plans.”
In addition to the big carnival
shows which will exhibit in connec
tion with the fair, it was stated to
day that it had been decided to stage
a giant tractor demonstration at the
same time and adjoining the site of
the fair. The agricultural college
management, where the fair will be
held is, preparing 175 acres of land
for use of the tractor exhibitors, and
all the local dealers are planning to
take part and demonstrate the work
of their respective machines.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY Hi DARK
It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to 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 Sul
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don’t bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, 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 lustre 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 a
time; 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.
