Perhaps if we could persuade Colonel
Bryan 10 bring his peace dove Town to the
Lower Rio Grande border and turn it loose
among the bandits at Progreso. we should
be- relieved Of the necessity Of bringing
down those mountain guns to clean ont the
raiders on the Mexican bank of the river.
Or possibly, If he would 90 Down TO the

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKEMS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years YoungerI Try Grahdma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the July 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 "Wyeths Sage and Sui.
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe. be-
cause 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 il and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

PITCHED BATTLE IN
PANAMA TENDERLOIN
U. s. Soldiers, Civilians and
Police Engage In Clash
One Killed; Many Hurt.

Panama. Feb. ia careful invest
igation by the Panama police and the
American military authorities reveals
that only one Panaman civilian was
killed in the rioting here Sunday, but
four persons were dangerously wound
ed, and it is believed that the total
number of wounded will reach As.
This list OF casualties resulted from
an encounter between Panaman po-
lice. American soldiers and Panaman
and American civilians in Cocoa grove,
known as the tenderloin district.
Twenty seven of the wounded were
taken to Santa Thomas and Ancon
hospitals. Among these were four
whom 1t is reported may die. Other
wounded persons were sent to their
homes.
A joint inquiry established that both
factions apparently were equally cul-
pable, although the Panama police
used their firearms after the civilians
had started the shooting. The SOL
diers were totally unarmed until they
raided nearby shooting galleries and
obtained three small rifles.
