CHRISTMAS TREES NOT
NEEDED in LONDON
(By Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 30.-London market
men have realized this year more for
chilly than ever the fact that the Christ
mas tree is distinctly German insti-
tuition. With all German men of mill
tary age either out of England or in.
termed, the homes of the Germans who
formerly lived in London have been
disrupted, with the result that this
year there was a very marked decline
in the demand for Christmas trees.
Germans originated the christmas
tree idea and have always been the
best customers for trees.
Norway has ordinarily supplied Lon
don with trees for Christmas, but trade
between this country and Norway is
now so badly dis-organized because OF
naval operations and mine dangers
that few trees were received. Mos
of the trees used this Christmas were
cut in Sussex and Yorkshire.

COMB sage TEA
into GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its
Thickness and Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An cas-
Ter way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents a large bottle,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a 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 it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant and you appear years younger

RUSSIANS CELEBRATE
ST. GEORGES DAY
(By Associated Press.)

PETROGRA, Dec. 30-St. Georges
Day, great popular Russian festival,
was celebrated as usual on December
8. Collections in the streets and in the
restaurants for various war funds
yielded immense sums. The restau-
rants for this one day were allowed
to dispense alcoholic drinks, and elab-
crate theatrical programs were given,
most of the numbers being cheerful
references to the progress of the war.
Holders of the St. George Cross for
yalor received special honors in con-
nection with the celebration. Even
wounded heroes on stretchers attended
the banquet of the Order, three of the
conspicuous wearers of the Cross be-
ing boys of fifteen. All three were
runaways to the war. The youngest
of the three ran off with the Foot
Guards regiment, and he received his
decoration for leading the regiment in
desperate bayonet charge. 1t is said
that the men when ordered to charge
were reluctant to obey owing 20 the
apparent hopelessness Of the outlook.
The boy thereupon climbed out of the
trench with a few unprecedented re-
marks which stung the men into fol-
lowing him up the hill against the
enemy. The boy was badly wounded,
but has since recovered.

BARRIERS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM PECULIAR ACCIDENT

An unusual and peculiar incident
occurred yesterday when a cartridge
lying on the street was run over by
a passing wagon, and exploded, the
ball being discharged with great
force and failing only by a very
narrow margin to cause a serious in
jury.
The wagon was driven by Mr.. A.
H. Lane, of the Standard Oil Co.
The cartridge, which some one had
carelessly thrown in the street, eX-
ploded when the wheel struck it.
The ball richocheted upwards, passed
through the door of the A. c. l..
barber shop and struck the bottow
of a chair, glancing thence and
striking a sign in the rear Of the
shop. 1t rebounded and struck A.
G.. Leggett, one of the BARRIERS, but
it's force was spent, and no material
injury was done. Had it struck a
human mark before the other objects
in its course, the result would have
been serious.
