For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows the
value of such combination for keeping
the hair q good even color, for curing
dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair,
and for promoting the growth of the
hair. Years ago the only way to get
Hair Tonic of this kind was to make
it in the home, which was troublesome
and not always satisfactory. Nova
days, almost any up-to-date druggist
can supply his patrons with ready-to-
use product, skillfully prepared in per-
fectly equipped laboratories.
An ideal preparation of this sort
Is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair

feel better, the dandruff will soon be-
gone, and in less than months time

PEPYS, THE DIARIST.
Prenounoins the Name Of tho oarru-
Ious Old Gossip.

Pronounoine the Name OF the 0arru-
Ious Old Gossip.
Lovers Of Pepys often dispute over
the correct pronunciation of his name
The form Peeps is the one that has
chief authority on its side. and 1t Is
according TO analogy in other like
spellings. such as Wemyss, pronounced
Weems- Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearers
own time. 1t is also retained by the
representatives of Samuers sister, the
Pepys Cockerell family. who are heirs
to his fame and some OF his property.
The late Rev. ]. W. Ellsworth. an in.
defatigable collector and editor of bal.
lads. adopts this pronunciation in his
pleasing stanzas on "a Gossip at Dept
ford"
For instance:
The state has no servant Of all whom she
keeps
Like my SQUAD little friend, who no Ia.
Dor does shirk.
The pattern of quill driving clerks. San
Pepys.
A disturbing element In the discus
sion is that the branch of the family
represented by the Earl Of Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer of the name has ever beer
known as Pops. though Ashby Sterry
a respected member of the Pepys club
follows this common but erroneous
pronunciation In this excellent cpl
gram. published IN the London Graphic
November. 1891:
There are people. I'm told-some say Their,
are heaps
Who speak Of the talkative Samuel a
Peeps.
And some, SO precise and pedantic theil
step Is,
Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys
But those think right. and follow theil
steps,
Ever mention the garrulous gossip as Pops

MURDER INDICTMENTS.

A Sample of the Idiotie Style In Which
They Are Written.
Murder has been written Of as q 6ne
art, but 1t remained for the United
States to treat 1t as a sport. In many
Of the states an indictment for muir
der contains nearly enough words to
fill column and sounds like the con-
versation Of an idiot. Here is a sam
pie:
That the said j. r. G., q certain
pistol then and there charged with
gunpowder and leaden bullets, which
said pistol he, the said ]. r. G., then
and there in bis right hand had and
held, then and there unlawfully. pur-
posely and of deliberate and premedi-
tated malice, did discharge and shoot
on to, against and upon the said f.
NJ, with the intent aforesaid. and that

lets aforesaid, out of the pistol afore-
said. by the force Of the gunpowder
aforesaid. by the said ]. f. G., then
and there discharged and shot of as
aforesaid, him. the said r. NJ, In and
upon the upper right side of the back
of him, the said p. NJ, then and

This isn't as idiotic as 1t looks. how
ever. It is part of our sporting theo-
y of justice. which makes a murder
trial a game Of skill and anesse be-
tween opposing counsel. By the
slightest deviation from statutory
form one side may lose the game

crimes have repeatedly been set aside
because of trivial verbal omissions IN
