GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look years younger! Try Grandma s recipe of Sage and Sulphur
 and nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops fall- ing hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and trouble some.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a. large bottle for about 50 cents Everybody uses this old famous recipe, because 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 it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at 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.

NOT WORRIED OVER
 WINTER CAMPAIGN
Military Writers Believe Frozen Ground Will Hamper Russians.

l Correspondence Associated Press.) 1 Berlin, Nov. 1.-The prospect of l winter campaign in Russia presents
 no terrors to the German military | writers, now dealing with the prob-
 lem of a long continuance of the war.
 Ear from anticipating a repetition of l Napoleon's disastrous experience in i the Moscow campaign, they look up- | on the great Corsican's conquerors, ! General December and General Jan uary, as allies who will remove for i them two of the greatest obstacles to operations against the Russians. | namely, the transportation problem
 and that of overcoming the natural | defenses of the country, it's swamps 1 and rivers.
 The expert of the Deutsche Tages-
 zeitung points out, too, that the Rus | sians, in order to stem the German l advance, have relied largely on en-
 trenchments laid out on a tremendous | scale. Once the ground is solidly l frozen the construction of such works TOT defence will be greatly hampered. Elaborate Fortifcations.
 Every battle has demonstrated the value to the Russians of the trenches, oiAu ONhCI IIilHIdIy uelu WOTkS, says | the writer. Tt has been difficult in all cases to take positions so pro- tected and the Russian successes have | been mostly due to the laying out of l fortified positions in the open field. | With the ground frozen and no l longer easily worked with pick and | shovel, the laying out of earthworks l will be made extremely difficult and I the Russians, whose forte from the
 times of Napoleon to Mukden, has lain | IF the defense of fielG Notifications 1 Will thus lose the most important fac 1 tor in defensive tactics
 troops operating on the offensive must deal with the fifth clement as Napoleon called the Russian mud. 1 In the winter the bad roads are cov- cred with snow and may then be used l by sleighs, and the great rivers and sWamps which form the principal fac 1 tors in the Russian defense lines will | then be covered with ice, permitting easy crossing everywhere.
 Advantages of Winter.
 "The idea that winter was the best season in which an attack on Russia
 might be made is that of genial sol l dier of history, Charles XII of 1 sweden, who afterward demonstrated | the correctness of his conclusion He | waited with his advance into Russia | in 11O7 until cold weather had set in, l and after the rivers and swamps of fcland had been frozen over, he crossed the Vistula on December 20 and advanced rapidly as far as Wilma, | where he intended to overtake the re- | treating Russians. The enemy, how ever, retreated again, and this winter campaign brought no result, because King Charles could not get the Rus | sians to stand.
 Napoleon counted on the aid of winter in his campaign in 1SO6 But the weather was against him.

A Remedy for Bronchitis

Bronchitis is a distressing and dangerous disease, often fatal in its results. At the first evidence of a cough take Kerr's Emulsion of hax-seed, Linonine. This re- markedly successful medicine has an unbroken record as a cure for bronchitis, even the most stub born cases yielding to it's great healing influences.
 Don't choke and suffer with bronchial coughs-Linonine will relieve you. Try spoonful to- night at bedtime, it will enable you to avoid those dreadful coughing spells that threaten your very existence.
