AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streak
ed 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 we simply ask at any drug
store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
cit for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe. because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair. as 1t does It so nat
,urally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at n time: by morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy. and you look years younger.

London.-England for the first time
in this generation is becoming thor
oughly familiar with other flags than
the union jack. but It is having a hard
time doing so.
Inssome quarters an attempt is made
to display the flags OF all the allies.
reckoning them as France, Belgium,
Russia, Servia. Montenegro. and Japan.
One drawback is that all the national
flags mentioned except two are tri-
colors. and TO English eyes all tri-
colors look more or less alike. In fact,
nearly every national flag in Europe
is a tri-color. either vertical or hor-
izontal. France has the blue. white
and red vertical: Holland the red.

Finding It's Support
A plant that actually goes insect

sundew. Its leaves. covered with ten

This has long been familiar to the
naturalists, but it now develops That
the plant does not passively wait for
its prey. If fly alights within half
inch of one of the leaves 1t slowly ap-
proaches the insect until close enough
to lay hold and destroy. thus demon
strating the possession Of some sort OF
sense or instinct with which plants are
not usually supposed to be endowed.
Something Of the same sort Is mani
tested in that plant parasite, the dod-
der II terminates from seed, sending
out a thin, threadlike growth, which
winds in and out among the grass

natural victim. Then its growth Is
