SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma'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 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 "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
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 1t 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 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.

lay waiting
The elephants would be forced to
ford the rapids below the bridge.
Kathlyn, who had by this time re-
gained much or her old confidence and
buoyancy, declared that she must be
first to cross the bridge. She gained
the middle. when she felt sickening
sag. She turned and shouted to the
others to go back. She made a des-
perate effort to reach the far end; but
the bridge gave way, and she was
hurled into the swirling rapids. She
was stunned for moment; but the in.
stinct to live was strong. AS she
swung to and fro. whirled here, flung
there, she managed to catch hold Of a
rock which projected above the flying
foam.
A mahout, seeing her danger urged
his elephant toward her and reached
her just as she was about to let go.

Fiction and Reality.

1t is a simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, for the first
time, Of an intoxicated ruffian in a
certain melodrama, went to a neigh
boring tavern and intoxicated himself.
He thought that this would storm the
house. but on the contrary he was i'm
mediately fired by the management for
fool-and rightly.-F. H. Martin, in

forgive, sahib?"
But they would not follow"

Ahmed searched thoroughly about
the ledge from which the east side OF
the bridge had swung but the barren
rocks told him nothing Armed with
his rife. he plunged boldly back along
the elephant trail, but returned with
out success. Whoever was following
them was an adept. as secret as a
Thuggee. All this worried Ahmed not
little. He readily understood that
the murderous attempt had not been
directed against Kathlyn alone, but
against all of them. But for her eager
ness and subsequent warning some of
them would have been dead at this mo-
ment.
"Sahib, it would be better to make
camp on the other side Of the ford.

TIPS TOUCHING THE TEETH
Some Good Advice That VIII Tend to
Save Many Extra Trips to
the Dentist.

It Is most unpleasant when teeth
move because they are loose In the
gum sockets, but If the mouth is well
washed out three times a day with
bicarbonate Of soda dissolved in warm
water the gums harden and the teeth
become firm again.
Finely-powdered charcoal is supreme
for making the teeth a cleaning
white, and keeping the mouth sweet.
The charcoal, too, renders innocuous
any decaying pieces of embedded food
in the crevices.
Teeth which from any cause-smok-
ing. neglect. medicine, etc.-are In a
very bad, black state should be
cleaned with powdered cuttlefish, OBJ
tainable at a chemists. This should
be used three times daily until the
teeth are clean, and then no more,
After that, any good dentifrice.
Few know that sage leaves are most
excellent for the teeth. The leaf can
be rubbed on, or chopped very fine
and used with a brush. The effect Is
astonishing.
A little lemon juice is another good
tooth tonic. though 1t needs to be
used but occasionally.
In default Of tooth powder, common
salt mixed with fine soot-or either
of these slone-is quite good. The
SCOT makes the teeth wonderfully
white, and the salt not only hardens
the gums, but puts glitter on the
enamel of the teeth.

Effect Of Their Warm Drink in the

"A year ago / was a wreck from cor

giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.

she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a CON-
fort to have something we can enjoy
drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind
of coffee, but she said Postum was
not coffee, but most healthful drink
for children as well as for older ones,
and that the condition of both the chill
dren and adults showed that to be
fact.
II was in despair and determined
to give Postum a trial, following the
directions carefully. 1t was decided

Bruce and Ramabai perused the let
ter; and to Ramabai came the inspira-
ton.
They would seek this treasure, but
only he, Ramabai, and Pundita would
return. Here lay their way to freedom
without calling upon Balla Khan for
aid. The matter. however, had to be
submitted to the priests, and those
willy men in yellow robes agreed. They
could very well promise Durga Ram
his freedom again; pursue these treas
ure seekers and destroy them, that
would be Durga Rams ransom.
The return to the palace was Joy
GUS this time; but in her heart Of
hearts Kathlyn was skeptical. Till she
trod the deck of a ship homeward
bound she would always be doubling.
Bruce did not have to seek Bala
Khan. The night Of Kathlyns def
ance Ahmed had acquainted them with
his errand. He was now on his way
to Bala Khan. They need trouble
themselves no longer regarding the fu-
ture.

foreboding.

Two days later the expedition was
ready to start. They intended to pick
up Ahmed on the way. There was
nothing but the bungalow itself at the
camp,
