TRY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD FAV-
+ ORITE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed brings back the natural color and
1ustre 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,
by asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" you will get a large bottle
OF this famous old recipe for about
SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! 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 II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears and after another
application or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy.

Defeat Possible by Delay.
During the course of his speech Mr..
Machen said that he believed the great
majority OF the members of the gen
eraI assembly were capable and were
sincere in their work. and that their
failure to accomplish results was due
TO the system which. by the Virginia
bill Of rights. they were forced to use,
and the possible Vaccinations of few
who did not hold in heart the best
interests of the people Of Virginia as
whole.
He lamented the condition which
made the members of the Legislature

were closely connected and said that
while he did not believe there were
many men in that body who were ac-
tually crooked, there were some who
represented special and corporate in
terests. and that they were able to do
much to retard the work Of the Gem
mittees.
III I were a lobbest and had two
men in the senate and three in the
house" declared Mr.. Machen, Il could
defeat almost any measure simply by
delay" He then told of several spe-
cifc instances Of this kind.

The habitues of the hotel where he
and Travers stopped were duly daz-

ance. Archie thought it clever to
scare underlings. He knocked down
a waiter who spilled some water on
him. He chased down and castigated
a poor peddler who fell against him
on slippery sidewalk.
In fact Archie enjoyed building up
a dubious reputation as a modern
Hercules and boastingfy indicating
to Travers that he was anxious to
meet foeman worthy of his steel"
Travers introduced him to his
cousin, then to Miss Swift, and this
brought him in contact with Dick.
They met together each day. Ada
treated Travers as a friend and was
courteous to Archie. Young Jones
was every inch. a gentleman, but he
did not warm up to either Travers or
his friend.
There were strained relations I'M
der the surface and Dick began to
understand them. Once when Archie
was somewhat heated with wine he
was openly insulting to Dick, but the
latter refused to be provoked, realiz-
ing his condition.

Just the right opportunity he de-

walking along the street when Archie
deserted Beauty, pet dog belonging
to Ada, coming down the street in
advance of Dick, who held the little
animal as great faEorite.
Its my chance, y whispered Archie
to Travers, and as Beauty neared him
he pretended to trip over the dog. He
raised his foot and gave Beauty a
kick that sent it to the curb. Then
the poor little animal limped away in
pitiable pain.

Dick, his blood on fire at the act.

advancing upon him with scowling
brows and set teeth.
Now Archie had never engaged in
a real fist battle outside of the gym

think himself an expert prize fighter
He envied Dick because he was a
