Their giant drum major, standing
over seven feet, who experienced some
difficulty in making a hasty exit
through narrow door, and whose

after travelling over 100000 miles in

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural CoIor--Dandrufl
. Quickly Removed,

There Is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
a simple "Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a duh, faded or
streaked appearance. they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing 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 Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-tim scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druf, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

MAYONNAISE.
The Way the Genuine Dressing 10 Pre-.
pared by French Cooks.


Housewives concoct all sorts Of
dressings - cooked and uncooked -
which they call mayonnaise, but which
are not properly entitled to that name.
The genuine mayonnaise as prepared
by French cooks Is made by combining
olive oil, egg yoke and vinegar without
cooking in such a way that the mix
ture will not curdle. The proportions
of these ingredients and the method Of
putting them together may be varied,
and mustard and similar seasonings
may be added, but fundamentally the
real mayonnaise is always the same.
The following rule will be found q
good one:
Have ready one egg yolk, one scant
cupful Of oliyS oil, three ieaspoonfuls
of vinegar, tablespoonful Of salt, a
saltspOonful Of sugar, Il light dust of
cayenne and a level half teaspoonful
of powdered mustard. Break the yolk
with a fork. beat the mustard. salt,
pepper and sugar into it and when a
smooth mixture has been formed be-
gin adding the OIL, drop by drop, until
the whole begins to look like creamed
butter. Then pour in the oil faster
until all is used. While the oil is be-
ing added the dressing should be beat
en- constantly with a fork. Last of all,
pour in the vinegar very slowly, beat
| ing the dressing rapidly while doing
so. Set II on ice to stand until want
ed and add it TO the salad the last mo-
ment before serving
1t is well to have everything very
cold when making this dressing. al
though excellent mayonnaise has been
| made without the use of ice, but the
oil must not be so cold that it has be-
gun to thicken. 1t is sometimes stated
that the drop by drop method is I'M
necessary, but while success may be
obtained by putting the ingredients
together more quickly it is always
risky to do so The drop by drop
method practically insures success. II
desired lime juice may be substituted
for the vinegar.-Ex Exchange.
