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 lux
uriant, 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 read.to-use tonic,
costing about so cents a large bottle
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus
avoiding 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 1t does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.

oBEYED INSTRUCTIONS.

The teacher of large school sent
one of the scholars to buy a pound of
plums from a fruit vendor outside,
related the Buffalo Enquirer, and as
she handed the little girls 10 cents
said:
BE sure, Mary, before buying the
plums to pinch one or two, just to
see that they are ripe"
'In a little while the girl returned
with flushed face and a triumphant
look in her eyes. Handing the teach
er the bag of plums, she placed the
money ON the desk and exclaimed:
81 pinched one or two, as you told
me, and when the man wasn't looking
| pinched a bagful."

DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT OF THE
MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH AND
| BRITISH TROOPS in PAST few DAYS

I the enemy during the day managed U
hold on to the north part of the village
which he had gained the day before. To
ward evening we had gradually regaine'
mart of the place by step-by-step fight
ing, when fresh hostile reinforcement
| were brought UP and the entire Vlliae'
was captured by the enemy.
''They made several assaults agains'
our whole front south of the Lys, bu'
with the exception of their success n
Neuvechappelle won no advantage. Tht
! combat for that place, as is usually the
case with village fighting, was of most
murderous description. 1t is believed
that the enemy's losses in this quarter
of the field generally were very great.
IAN artillery officer who was pbservine
their advance reports that the effect OF
our rifle and gun fire on the Germans was
stupendous and that they had to throw
cornses of their own men out of their
trenches as they came on in order to OBJ
tain cover.
'The ground near Neuvechappelle was
again the scene of desperate fighting on
wednesday, the 18th, some OF our Indian
troops greatly distinguishing themselves
by a we'll conducted counter attack py
which they drove the Germans out OF the
greater part of the place with the oayo-
net. One emerging from the village how
ever, they were exposed to a concentrat
ed fire of machine guns and had to re-
main contented with what they had
gained.
"On our right, the Germans denver
cd ar assault which failed. In front
of one battalion they are estimated 10
have left between 500 and 700 dea !,
while not far off a trench into which
they had penetrated was captured o..
us at an expense to them of 40 killed
and IA prisoners.
IN the center little took place wor-
thy of special accord. A few Germans
came in and surrendered voluntarlis.
In this quarter, we experienced Tor the
first time in the northern theatre OF
the war the action of mine wer1er, or
trench mortar. 1t has a range OF some
FIVE hundred to six hundred yards ana
throws a bomb loaded with high ex-
plosive, weighing up to 200 pounds, be-
ing fired at an extreme elevation from
the bottom of pit in the trench.
"The real important feature in this
DAYS operation occurred north OF the
Iys and consisted of an onslaught IN
great force made in the morning in
the direction of Ypres. Under heavy
cannonade the assault was driven
home and a portion of our front line
was forced back. BY evening the los1
ground was recovered. Our losses
were heavy, but not SO severe as those
of the enemy, who at one spot su.-
fered enormously from the concen-
trated fire of our massed machine
guns.

of the last July. The outstanding in.
terest in the English market was or
iginally concentrated into January
February, but was transferred into

to buyers.

ductive of bad results, declared William
A. Mckeever, professor of child welfare
at the University of Kansas. before the
International Purity Congress today. Ex-
citable preachers of eugenics, he said.
have given the impression that moral
unf1tness and faint are more prevalent
than the facts bear out.
TOO many speakers have been guilty
of eugenic calamity bowling" he said.
They have gone about bemoaning the
worst aspects of human conduct, elimi-
mating the better characteristics. and
have offered no definite remedy. Our
American stock is essentially sound. 9th
erwise it wouldn't be worth saving. But
we can accomplish nothing toward a
cleaner race until we create a spirit of
optimism with regard to human tenden-
cies." af
Clean newspapers are more and more
becoming one Of the greatest factors in
the moral surroundings of the young men
and young women of America. said Ed

of psychological mysticism about some
newspapers, he said.

A civil suit for damages of 5000
has been brought by Deputy Sheriff
E. E. Black Of Baldwin against James
J.. Sargent of Hiram. and service was
made on the defendant Tuesday. This
action comes as sort of sequel to
the case, wherein criminal action was
brought against Sargent on a charge
of assault with. intent to kill, and on
which he, was tried before a jury at
the September term of the superior
court and found not guilty. This ac-
ton was based upon an alleged as
sault made on Deputy Black while
attending a dance at West Baldwin on
the night OF July 3rd. when the Of
ficer was SO badly used up that he was
confined to his home for some weeks.
Following the. mix-up Sargent re-
manned in hiding, in the woods to avoid
arrest. Some days later he came to
Portland disguised in women's cloth
ing, and gave himself UP to the police.
He was Indicted by the grand jury,
but was acquitted by the trial jury at
ter a two days hearing, during which
a large number Of witnesses We're
heard. The bill In the civil action is
returnable at the January term OF
the supreme court In Portland.
