good. reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned sage

best preparation of this kind is Wyeth'

scientifically compounded with later dis

Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean ard

AMERICAN SEARCHING
FOR SHAKESPEARE'S HEAD

ENGLAND'S antiquaries and Shakes
II pearean students are following in the
daily papers with the most diligent care
the accounts of the discoveries which
are being made in the mud of the River
Wye, near Chepstow, by DR.. Orville w.
Owen of Detroit, Mich, Shakespearean
scholar of worldwide repute. The Brit
ish public is also greatly interested in
DIR. Owens work.
When the search was first begun a few
weeks ago England greeted DR.. Owen
with equal parts of contemptuous silence
that is changed, and the daily papers
thusiasts explorations with seriousness
lies devote pages upon pages TO pictures
Of the scene of operations.
DIR. Owen is searching for manuscripts
which he believes were hidden by Fran
els Bacon, the noted author and lord
chancellor. He claims to be guided in
his operations by a cipher. This is
worked out from Sir Philip Sidney's ar
cadia.' 1t is said to be clear and most
explicit.
The latest assertion which the doctor
has made regarding the cipher is that
Bacon reveals in the cipher that he
in the box which is now being reclaimed
from the river bottom. Why Bacon
should have committed this muruer is
not made clear unless Shakespeare knew
more of Bacon's affairs, literary and
otherwise, than was good for him in the
troublous age in which he lived, and
that Bacon. in numbering the poet and
actor. went upon the theory that dead
men tell no tales"
DR. Owen is firmly Of this opinion, and
also that Bacon, fearful that the murder
might be discovered and traced to him.
self, and that the poets head was miss
ing by an examination Of Shakespeare
remains. wrote the epitaph on the actors
tomb warning, under palm of direfui con-
sequences If disregarded, all men to re-
frain from touching or disturbing the
remains of the poet, warning which
has served its purpose to the present
moment.
DIR. Owens cipher directed him in his
search for a box forty feet long and ten
feet wide. under water near ford in
this river. After tedious exploration in
the mud a box forty-one feet long and
fifteen feet wide in the middle, with Ia
pering ends. has just been discovered near
the ancient ford. This box is composed Of
oak logs one foot square. carefully Joined
and made watertight. 1t is divided into
four compartments. which are filled with
heavy stones.
The top of what DR.. Owen thinks is
the cache has been reached by the rods |
but there is a considerable layer of clay |
to be removed before the logs or planking
forming the cover can be removed. When |
the box is finally opened DIR. Owen be- |

will prove that Bacon wrote not only the |
