sigh of relief The color came back
into his face and strength to his

Now" said Davis gently. where

Davis was up like a shot and out

Davis studied his face and felt his
pulse and then reached for the

finished administering the morphine.

Young answered alphabetically.
Quickly Davis possessed himself OF
the key and opened the box. In the
top tray were perhaps fifty letters

AN OLD RECIPE
To DARKEN HAIR
COMMON GARDEN SAGE AND
SULPHUR MAKES STREAKED,
FADED OR GRAY HAIR DARK
AND GLOSSY AT ONCE.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandru1, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur 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 it
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 morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

The School Board
And The Public.

The public schools open this week
and in the little confusion which Is
necessarily attendant upon the as
signrnent OF teachers and pupils to
their respective rooms. the securing Of
books. and the adjustment Of all the
little things Incident to the beginning
of the school year, there are those who
will always find and express some cri-
ticism OF the school board.
Such criticism is usually undeserved
and is always the result of lack of
comprehension OF the duties and diff
lie spirited citizens who compose the
school board.
No man would seek or accept g posi-
ton on the school board for any pur-
pose of business, political. or other
personal advancement. The reason is
that there is no possible way for them
to secure thereby any business. polfti-
cal. personal gain On the contrary,
such public service is always rendered
at a distinct loss OF time and business
TO the uldn WHO ID Wl1lluB 10 u1Ee
the sacrifice.
The present board Of education of
Escambia county-Messrs. Brawnsr,
Hayes and Crary--has given a great
deal OF time and attention and worry.
and all without pay. to the interests
Of the public schools, and they are en-
titled to the thanks Of the public for
the work they have done.
Chairman Brawner has devoted
many hours. for which he received no
pay and which might otherwise have
been devoted to his private business
to the affairs of the. public schools.
He has been probably the most active
member the board has ever possessed
Certain it is that he has had more
work to do. and under more trying
circumstances, than has been the case
with any of his predecessors.
There are many things to be desired
in the conduct of the Escambia coun-
ty schols, but they are the result Of
an imperfect and antiquated school
system rather than any lack of atten-
ton or business Judgment on the part
of the school board.

Elsewhere in these columns today
The Journal publishes F7orida's new
game law in full and we suggest that
every hunter cut 1t out and paste 1t In
his scrap book or hunting kit.
There are some things in the law
which we synopsize and publish here.
First, it is a violation of the law
to hunt without first securing L.
cense.
Second, the hunting season does not
open until November 20, and closes
February 20.
Third. the law prohibits the killing
Of quail, ducks, doves. turkeys, swan.
geese. snipe.. mudhens. squirrels. deer
and all game birds or game animals
except between the dates mentioned
above.
Fourth. it is unlawful to buy or sell
any of the birds or animals protected
by the law.
Fifth the law prohibits the killing
