DARKEN Gray HAIR,

Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So
Naturally that Nobody can tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lUstre to the hair when faded. streak
ed 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,
by asking at any drug store for
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get a large bottle
of this famous old recipe for about
so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as il does il so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE BRIT
ISH OVERSEAS EXPEDITION,
NORTHERN FRANCE. Monday. April
25.-10 p. m. via London. April 27).
The greatest artillery duel in the
history of the world is in progress
from the sea to south of Ypres. Even
the artillery experts at headquarters
will not forecast a guess as to the
number of guns in use. But they run
into the thousands and their dis
charge and the explosion of the shells
thrown by them. rocks the country as
though an earthquake prevailed.
There is one little bridge that cross
es the canal at a point on the allied
front. Here all day twenty great
German field guns have been engag-
ed with eighteen English and French.
AS fast as the guns could be loaded
they were discharged. yet il was not
until after nightfall that the German
guns at last were silenced. The
French seventy-fives. the pride of the
French government demonstrated at
last their wonderful superiority over
every other sort of mobile field ar
tillery. SO rapidly were they dis
charged that the noise sounded like
/ an endless roll of thunder each peal
rolling into the other so that there
was no perceptible interval.
The expenditure of ammunition was
: absolutely fabulous. AS far as the
! glass could carry, one saw white
! bursts of exploding shrapnel, the
/ blackish cloud from the exploding
/ German giant guns or the feathery
/ floating smoke waves that showed
where the clouds of shells from the
German anti-aircraft guns were ex-
| ploding far up in the dome of the sky
/ There German and allied airships
were dashing full speed hither and
I thither seeking to locate the move
ments of the masked troops below.
For sixty miles along the Flanders
front the artillery was engaged in a
titantic duel eclipsing anything thai
ever had been dreamed of heretofore
The allied artillery had been brought
up and was being used to straighter
out the dents in the battle line thai
had been put into it by the German
dash.
Throughout Monday. whenever the
north wind blew, the Germans resort
ed to the use of their poisonous gases
in a vain endeavor TO asphyxiate the
allied troops in their trenches. The
gas was thrown into the air so thai
it would float across the allied
trenches, but the British know now
what TO expect and are prepared tC
meet the danger Standing on a hill

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood Is try
ing one TO most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared OF un-
derstands how TO properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when IL is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard TO health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

Up over the hill we stumble through

AS you reach the top of the hill
the roar of the cannon is much loud

Every few minutes a great ball OF
fire suddenly appears suspended high
over the trenches near you or far
down the line. You see the whole

takes on a very unreal appearance
and you pinch yourself to see whether
you are awake or dreaming.
