Last night we had a train load of
English prisoners, all members of the

could easily believe the stories of their
beastly crimes after having seen and
spoken to them. They had all sorts of
mortal instruments sewed into the lining
of their jackets. and with those instrl-
ments they had tormented and Grim
pied our soldiers. The guards accom-
panying those prisoners tremblsd with
rage and disgust when they spoke of II.
Some of our wounded who had fought
against the English have Just been re-
ceived They tell the most horrible and
shocking tales of atrocities committed by
the English. Their cruelty has been
worse than that of the Belglans. The
English Red Cross is worse its members
are beasts in human shape and commit
the most unspeakable atrocities on the
battlefelds instead of helping the wound

rage and contempt against the English"

Women delegates from New Jersey

handles the New York drivers before they
reach u.s."
Il was speaking Of the conviction held
in New York by owners of horses who
have been mulcted for the most trivial
reasons" Mr.. Mccarthy responded.
He said that the New York Depart
ment of Health was rotten to the core"
I'VE will admit that the New Jersey

tually a dead letter. but we defy any

Nobody had word to say for Jersey

promised to do so IL given time. but the
convention voted, with the women wav-

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and thick with simple mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite SEN
sible, as we are living in an age wnen
a youthful appearance is OF the great,
est advantage.
Nowadays, though we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called "Wyetb' IS Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" for about so
cents a bottle. It is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb 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' IS Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after few applications, it
also produces that soft Mstre and ap-
pearance of abundance which is so at
tractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair. Local
agent, j. G.. Perry.
