FEW FOLKS HAVE
CRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and luster, or
when II fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful. and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade OF hair which Is so attractive, use
only this old-tirn recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly. that no
body can possibly tell 1t has been ap-
piled. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair. You
just 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; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and luster and gives 1t an appear
ance of abundance.-Advt.

PROTECTION To

War Minister Ordered to Increase

Out Revolt.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

opeClsl CaDle 10 ! ne Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. president
Victoriano Huerta to-day pledged
himself and his Government to the
protection Of foreigners, especially
Americans, and foreign owned prop
erty in Mexico. This guarantee,
called forth by reports of impending
anti foreign violence due to the lift
ing Of the embargo on shipments of
arms into Mexico from the United
States, was issued from the National
Palace over the signature o. the Pres
ident 1t followed a previous state
ment issued last night and cabled to
the principal newspapers in New
York City.
AT the same time War Minister
Banquet was instructed to take i'm
mediate steps to increase the Federal
army by $4,000 men andl to prepare
for the Inauguration of the most ag-
gressiVe campaign yet undertaken to
stamp out revolt in all quarters of the
republic.
A number OF students at the Ma
tionsl Military Academy applied for
permission to hold a parade this aft
ernoon, but this was denied for fear
that an anti American riot would re-
suit, In spite of the refusal OF the
authorities to grant a permit, the
students declared they would parade
anyhow and make a demonstration
before the National Palace.
Following a conference with Huer-
ta the Minister of the Interior,
Senior Alcocer called upon Nelson
O. Shaughnessy, American Charge
d'Affaires. 1t was said that the Mex
lean officials had assured Mr..
O'Shaughnessy that the Government
would protect lives Of citizens OF the
United States In this district II riot
ing breaks out.
Fighting was reported from the
States of Oaxaca and Vera Cruz. The
situation in the oil fields around Tam
pico Is giving the Government wor-
ry. The Government can not secure
oil for railroads and manufacturing
plants. The lnteroceanic Railway is
completely out of commission be-
tween San Luis Potosi and Tampico
and south Of Vera Cruz City.
