A feeling of saaness accompanies'
the discovery of the first gray hairs j
which unfortunately are looked up-
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may bee,;
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages of being young.
Aside from the good impression that'
a youthful appearance makes on oth-
ers, simply knowing that you are
"looking fit" gives one courage to un-
dertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking
old on account of gray hairs, when a
simple remedy will give your hair
youthful and color and beauty in a
few days time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand-

1. It was moved from Guthrie by fraud and misrepre-
sentation.
2. Oklahoma City promised to build a million dollar
capitol building for the state, to nay the moving expenses,
and to furnish free rent for all state ofllces. She has fail-
ed to keep a single one of these promises.
3. The State is paying the enormous rental of $40,000
per year in Oklahoma City, and must continue to do so
for many years if the capital remains there.
4. Oklahoma City Is planning to induce the next leg-
islature to appropriate $1,000,000 out of the pockets of the
taxpayer to start a iapitol building.
5. The people of Guthrie who ask that the question be
submitted have always made good, have never asked for
any other institution, and believing in Justice, honesty and
fairness, have never attempted to build up their city at the
expense of other cities of the state.
6. The City of Guthrie offers the $150,000 Convention
Hall and the $150,000 Logan County Court House to the
State rent free as long as they want them.
7. The State is now practically the owner of a fine
Capitol site at Guthrie, the government having reserved
fourteen acres in the heart of the city, for Capitol pur-
poses at the creation of Oklahoma in 1889.
8. The City of Guthrie has erected a $150,000 tempor-
ary capitol upon the site reserved for the starte, paved and
parked the streets, and improved the grounds until It Is
worth $500,000 and offers this all fr.ee to the state.
9. The retention of the capital at Oklahoma City means
higher taxes; its removal to Guthrie means lower taxes.
10. Guthrie is one of the finest residence cities of the
state; clean, law abiding and healthful, is reached by
eight railways, has every modern convenience, pure water
in abundance, and the finest mineral waters in America.
