AN old RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR


Almost everyone Knows, that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound,
ed, brings back the natural color and
Ilustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture,
was to make it at home. which is,
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phurs Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old, famous, recipe. be-
cause no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair, as it does lit SO
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning the.
gray hair disappears, and after n
other application or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

AFTER ALL THE GREAT -.
ARE ~JUST FOLKS

Victor Murdoch in Golfers Weekly:
When Roosevelt was president and
Fairbanks vice president they were
touring the country in a special train.
And somewhere in Indiana the engine
broke down and while they were wait
ing Roosevelt-who is always thinking
of things that nobody else would think
of-proposed to Fairbanks that they
slip away from the crowd and take a
walk down a long dusty country road
which lay before them. So they start
ed off.
Roosevelt is quick and nervous and
takes rapid steps-in the early days in
the COW country they called his kind a.
single footer. Fairbanks Is long and
lean and lank, with long dangling arms
and long dangling legs-they called
his kind a PAGER
Here they went down this long. dusty
country lane, the tall, gangling man
and the SHORTER rapid one. And pre-
sently they came to a field, and over
in the field was a stack of straw or
hay-I didn't learn which-and on ton
OF the stack was a farmer with a
fork.
Fairbanks went to the fence, put I'm

The farmer, who had probably been
troubled a good deal with tramps, was

When Fairbanks continued to beck
on, the farmer slid down off that stack,
stumped angrily across the field, and

have done under those circumstances,

didn't look at the second man at all.
He walked right. up to the tall man,

awakening surprise and gasped:

Roosevelt nodded. And then the far

his shoulders, filed his. lungs with air,

recently Of the new currency law: ut

Review Of Reviews: 1t was hardly

gan coming into general use in GER
tain parts Of the United States, the
innovation receiving a strong initial
impulse from efforts that were being
made to find new uses for the output
of the rapidly developing fields of

1t was a striking caSe of increase of
appetite growing by what it fed on:

could be handled, crude petroleum be-

Before long it became evident that
the fireman who remarked that "oil

pick up in Jumps a n fling at the heads
OF the cops when n strike was on"
was speaking pretty near the literal
truth. Nor was the astute Stoker's
objection one which told heavily when
the question OF the merits of the two
fuels came UP for debate at a board
meeting. IT also became clear that the
extent to which oil would replace coal

TAFT'S GOOD ADVICE,

Since he left the presidential chair.
President Taft has from time to time
given the country advice on various
subjects, For certain rather obvious
reasons. much of his advice has fallen
ON ears that were rather ~inattentfve
but the, former heavyweight presi-
dent has finally said something that
will get a hearing from a very large
part Of the people. For be it known
that the president has reduced his
weight. When he left the presidency
he weighed $40 pounds. Now he
weighs but 270 pounds.
In bringing about this greatly tc
be desired result. the president awaited
himself Of expert opinion, namely tha'
of the head of the Yale Medical fac.
ulty. Mr.. Taft tells how he did it q!
follows:
I have dropped potatoes entirely
from my bill of fare. and also
bread in all forms. Pork is also
taboned. as we'll as other meats in
which there is a large percentage
of fat All the vegetables except
POTATOES r permitted. and Of
meats, that of all fowls~is per
mitted. ~ In the fish line / abstain
from salmon and bIuefish, which
are the fat members of the fish
family. I am also careful not to
drink than two glasses of
water at each meal. / abstain
from wines and liquors Of all
kinds as well as from tobacco in
every form. =.
This ma appear to be harsh treat
nle1t and. possibly the cure may b
looked upon AZ worse than the, dis
ease. but 1T certainly must be a result
getter.

cient to meet the heavy demand for
any great while.
Detailed reports of operation, in
Guiding figures for fuel consumption,
are. not to be had yet. Possibly the
outstanding advantage looked for in
this new type OF locomotive is it's fuel
economy and fortunately that Is one
characteristic Of Diesel engines that
can be quite accurately calculated in
advance; hence, this advantage is sure
to be a feature of the new arrange
ment. The mere fact that the loco
motive has a long service trip to it's
credit shows the practicability of con-
Meeting the cranl1shaft directly to the
driving wheels, which, perhaps, was
the chief point for to the de-
signers Considering the fine start al

we are to see the rapid development
Of the Diesel engine on shipboard fully
paralleled by its application to the
problem of land transportation.
