Mine Mystery
UnreUealed
TWENTY MEN TERRIBLY BURN
ED BUT THERE WAS NO
SIGN OF ANY FIRE.

TOWER CITY. Pa, Aug. 13.-The
first days session of the coroners
jury added to the mystery surround
ing the death of the 20 men killed
in the East Brookside mine eXplo.
sion on August ., and adjournment
was taken until next Monday ana
an invitation extended to any who
may know anything which will help
solve the mystery to be present ana
testify.
Although most Of the victims were
so terribly burned that the flesh
came from their bodies there was
not a sign of fire in the mines which
would have been present in gas
explosion. Even the clothing OF the
men was not burned, although 1t
was torn from their bodies. The
punkfikc fringe on the mine timber
was not even scorched. a piece ot
newspaper in the heart of the cxplo-
sion, where most of the men were
killed, was not Giscolored, as was
also the case with the brush at the
end OF Il coil Of rope.
1t now seems AS though no one
was KILLED In the first explosion and
that from three different scctions
men were rushing to find the cause
of It when they we're killed In the
second explosion. The lid was torH
OFF the box iii which the dynamite
was kept, but the dynamite was not
exploded. Mine inspectors. mine
foremen and practical miners con
fess that they never encountered
anything like 1t.
BlouSeS OF the workmcn were not
even blown from the side of the tun-
mel, although timbers nearby were
torn into spiiutcrs. Shove}s stand
ing in muck. as though just filled to
be lifted. were found standing us left
by the workmen. who hurried from
the tunnel toward the gangway, pre-
Sumably to discover the cause OF til,
first explosion.

SAGE TEA TURNS

That beautiful, even shade OF dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your CHARM. II
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggly. Just an ap-
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances it's appearance a hundred
told.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic /;
YOU can get from any drug store So
cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" ready 10 use,
This can always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color thick
ness and lustre of your hair and re
move dandruff, stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur because it darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody can
;ell it has been applied. You simply
dampen q sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through the hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair has disap-
peared, and after another application
il becomes beautifully dark and APP
pears glossy, lustrous and abundant.
