THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The greater number of original
settlers in Mexico were Spaniards.
From the intermarriagc of these
Spaniards and the native Indians of
the country. a population of mixed
races results. In Mexico today there
are Indians. still savages: partly
civilized Aztecs, half-breeds. pure
blooded Spaniards and small num-
ber of other nationalities of which
the majority are Americans
According to a statement of Jorge
Vera Estanol, formerly minister of
education in Mexico under Diaz
made to the Associated Press, there
are at present nine million Indians
living in Mexico while there
are but six million of whites and
mixed population. Only a few years
ago but Is per cent of the combined
population could read and write.

SAGE Ten WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Co|or-DandruH
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new. about the idea
Of using sage for restoring the color Of
the hair. Our great-grandmothers kept
their locks soft, dark and glossy by
using a ':sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull. faded or
streaked appearance they made a brew
Of sage leaves and applied it to their
hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
old-time, tiresome methods of gathering
the herbs and making the tea. This is
done by skillful chemists better than we
could do it ourselves, and all we have to
do is to call for the ready-made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy, containing sage in the proper
strength, with the addition Of sulphur,
another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers Of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under guar
antee that the money will be refunded
If it fails to do exactly as represented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
to-day, and notice the difference after 4
few days. use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

More Genuinely Refreshing Play Has

Gus is comedy drama. Its story
is a romance that leads in and out Of
the sawdust ring. It was written by
Miss Margaret Mayo and produced
by Frederic Thompson.
The story Of the play is unusually
attractive. With it's novelty it com
bines cleanliness and wholesomeness.
Polly, it's central figure, is a young
circus rider who is injured by a fall
from her horse while the show is In
small western town. It is out OF
the question for her to accompany the
circus to the next stop. and she Is
left at the parsonage. opposite the
circus lot in the household of young
minister, to recover. Polly has known
no other life than that of the saw
dust ring, and some time elapses be-
fore she can familiarize herself with
the staid existence Of such commun-
ity as is now her home. By the time
she succeeds in doing this, the sound
of the young minister's voice has be-
come the most promising feature OF
her hopes for the future. He In turn
has found the fascination of the un'
learned but intelligent and pure
hearted sprite from the canvas-topped
almost irresistible. The

opening a door that led into a room
in the rear, he called out, Mary"
Mary" A girl responded to the call
to whom Mr.. Lincoln spoke a few
words In an undertone, and, closing
the door, returned again to converse
with his guests. In a few minutes
the maiden entered, bearing a large
tray. containing several glasses, and
a large pitcher in the midst, and
placed 1t upon the center table. Mr..
Lincoln arose, and gravely address,
