To Oppose Use Of Confession.
The evident intention OF the defence
TO attempt TO put in evidence the con-
fession Of "Dago Frank" Cirofca by
subp9naing Warden Clancy and
Father Cashin, the Catholic chaplain
of Sing Sing, before whom it was made,

District Attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Delehanty
said Yesterday that the confession would
not be admissible evidence. He said that
II could not possibly be construed as

might be good evidence. II was purely
hearsay, he said, and Father Cash!n and
Warden Clancy would get no further on

They were excused following long con-

courts patience was sorely tried by the
evident anxiety OF many Of the talesmen

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up q Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

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 dandruff, 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.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t does 1t SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy. Adv.
