For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and SCALP
troubles. Almost every one knows the
value Of such a combination for keep
ing the hair a good even color, for cur
ing dandruff, itching scalp. and falling
hair, and for promoting the growth of
the hair. Years ago the snly way to
get a Hair Tonic of this kind was to
make it in the home, which was trou-
blesome and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays, almost any up-to-date
druggist can supply his patrons with a
ready-to-use product, skillfully pre-

DAVIS, THE WRITER,
TO MARRY DANCER
Author of Soldiers of Fortune
Says Bessie Mccoy Is
the Girl.

New York, July 2.-Richard Harding
Davis, the novelist and war correspond
ent, and Bessie Mccoy. the actress who
won her chief fame in the Yama Yama
song in THE Three Twins" are to be
married. This has been rumored before.
but has always been followed by a denial
from one or the other of the interested
parties.
To-day, however, Mr. Davis said at his
home, in Mount Kisco, Me, that it is
true, and that he and Miss Mccoy will
be married on July S. Asked for some
details about where the marriage will
take place, he refused to say a word.
we are going TO keep it a secret, "
he said. We want to keep from being
next Monday, and that's all you need.
As a matter of fact, We haven't made
our plans yet, anyhow, because We don't
want them to leak out"
Mr. Davis said that Miss Mccoy is now
in New York, but he wouldn't say where.
She and her mother and her younger
sister, Nellie, have a home in New Ro-
cheIle.
This will be Miss McCoys first mar
riage, but not Mr.. Davis. It was only
June IS that his first wife got a divorce
from him in Chicago. her home town.
The first Mrs. Davis was Cecil Clark,
daughter of a wealthy iron manufacture
er. She and Mr.. Davis were married
in 1899 and they separated in 1903. Mrs.
Davis sued for a separation in New York
County early this year, but on May 10
her attorney had the suit withdrawn. Mrs.
Davis promptly went to Chicago and sued
for divorce. At that time Mrs. Davis
said that there would be no scandal in
the suit, that she had a clear case of de-
sertion, and that that was all there was
to the case. Subsequently Mrs. Davis
made an additional charge which was not
put into the records Of the case. 1t was
made privately to the Judge.
Davis was in London when he became
engaged to the first Mrs. Davis. He
cabled a proposal. She cabled back her
assent. Davis then hired a messenger
and dispatched him to- Chicago with the
engagement ring. It cost him about $500
TO get the ring to his fancee.
Mr.. Davis met Miss Mccoy when she
was making her success as the ''Yama
Yama' girl. For many days before the
meeting he had occupied the same seat
while she was doing her dance. After
the meeting he continued to like the
show. and had the seat reserved for him
for every evenings performance.
Miss Mccoy went to Bermuda this
spring, but returned to New York short
time ago.

Melvin Vaniman, His Brother
and Crew Are PIung-
ed Into the Sea.
$1,000 WITNESS ACCIDENT
Atlantic City Crowds Gather and
Watch RsSGusrS Go TO
Spot in Boats.

Atlantic City. July while three
thousand people looked on from the beach
and the Boardwalk this morning the bis
dlrigible balloon Akron, built by Melvin
Vaniman to attempt the passage OF the
Atlantic. was shattered by an explosion
burst into flame. and plunged with its
car and crew of FIVE men, including Vani-
man and his younger brother. Calvin
into the sea. The other three were Fred
Elmer. Walter Guest. and George Bour-
tiIlion. All Of them were killed. The &C
cident happened about $50 o'clock, half a
mile of shore, over Absecon Inlet.
The dirigible was sailing At a height OF
1000 feet and had been In the air since
Sis o'clock. She was a quarter of a mile
south of Brigantine Beach. which is
across the inlet from this city. ItIhas
been suggested that the explosion was
caused by the expansion Of the many
thousands Of cubis feet Of gas in the
huge envelope, due to heating by the
suns rays.
The gas bag was rent near the middle.
Then there was a burst of flame that
for the space Of ten seconds, perhaps,
seemed TO hide the airship from view.
Next the wreck, outlined against the
eastern sky, was seen falling like a
plummet.
Cars Downward Plunge.
The understructure. or car. in which
were penned the unfortunate men. held in
by a mesh work put on after the second
trip OF the balloon three weeks ago.
broke away from the envelope. It up
ended, the bow turning first in a slow
arc. Then it reversed suddenly and
plunged downward. Directly above,
twisting in a long spiral, was the gas
bag, a smoking mass of rubber and silk,
with flames shooting out from a dozen
moment, and then streaked down after
the car.
In the descent, something which ap-
peared to be the body of 4 man shot out
to the left Of the wreckage and hit the
water before the rest Of the descending
mass. 1t was the body of Calvin vani-
man. At $50 a. m. a message was re-
layed ashore from rescuers that this body
had been recovered. With II came the
statement from Capt Lambert Parker,
of the Absecon life-saving crew, that the
other four members Of the crew were
entangled in the wreckage in eighteen
feet Of water.
Soon after the plunge enormous crowds
from every part of the resort had gath
cred along the inlet. boardwalk, and
about the Vaniman cottage, Just across
from the hangar, at the inlet, where
Mrs Vaniman collapsed, and unconscious
from the shock was in the care of a ply
sician. ..

PASTOR QUITS CHURCH
FOR REFUSING HIM ONE
VACATION IN so YEARS

PHOEBUs, VA, July 22-Having
had no vacation in so years, DR.. John
NJ Pitcher, pastor of the First Baptist
church here, has resigned his charge
in order to get one. He applied to his
church for a vacation, but it appears
that his request was refused, because
the treasury was not in a condition to
warrant the employment of substi-
tute during the regular pastors abb
sence.
And so DR.. Pitcher, who was for many
years head of the Virginia Baptist Sun
day School association, relieved the sit
uation by rendering his resignation, ef-
feetive July 81. He announces that he
will be open to other engagements at
the close Of his vacation two months
