THRTY-N|NE LEPzRS PUT TO DEATH
Driven Into Funeral Pyre by ProvIn.
cial Authorities, They Were Shot
and Bodies Burned.

Observation-Disclosures lepers recent
ly were put to death in an atrocious
manner by order Of the provincial au-
thorities of Nan Ming, province OF
Kwang ST. The sufferers were shot
and their bodies were burned.
These advices were received Satur-
day in letters from the Catholic mis-
sion at Nan Ming, dated December IA.
The mission sought permission to
build, at it's own expense, lazaretto
for them, and the provincial authori-
ties, pretending to consent, dug a pit
in which was placed wood soaked
with kerosene. The lepers were
driven into the pit and shot and the
pyre lighted and their bodies burned
The authorities offered rewards fol
the discovery of other lepers, and this
resulted in the shooting of one more
man afflicted with the disease.

To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu-
rant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry sCraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready o-use tonic, cost
ing about so cents a large bottle at
drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
TELL because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luXuriant-Advt.
