TODARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

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, itch
ing 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 "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents.
Everybody uses this old, famous
recipe, because 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 it and draw this through your
hair taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another applica-
ton or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully dark thick and glossy and
you look years younger.

War Upon Pain.

Pain is a visitor to every house and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep a small bottle of

Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing

is really wonderful.

around the Panama Exposition with
wet feet, | came home with my neck
so stiff that couldn't turn. | applied
Sloan's Liniment freely and went to

hours after the second application I

REPORT Of
SEC, NJ 'ADO0
Of TREASURY
DECLARES THE FINANCIAL SIT
UATION OF THE COUNTRY
NEVER so STRONG AND FAVOR
ABLE AS NOW.

Washington, Dec. S.-Radical chan
ges in the income tax to reach thou
sands not now subject to its proyis
ions and to improve the machinery
of collection were suggested to con
gress today in the annual report oi
Secretary McAdoo as means by when
the greater part of the additional
revenue needed to pay for the admin
istration national defense plans can
be provided. The secretary proposed
to lower the exemption limits so as
to tax married persons with incomes
as low as $1,000, and single persons
with $4,000 incomes. The exemptions
now are $4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Increases in the collection force,
a requirement that returns must pc
made of gross income in place OF
net income, and "A change so that
the tax shall not be withheld at the
source. were among Mr.. McAdoo's
other suggestions. He made no esti-
mate of the number of persons VINO
might be taxed if the amendments
were adopted nor the amount that
might be expected, but in connection
with his request for a larger collec-
ton force, he pointed out that exam
ination of the past personal and cor
poration returns showed that 63 per
cent of those inspected disclosed that
additional tax was due the govern
ment On the basis of the eXamlna-
tions, the secretary says that ap'
parently more than $4,6O0,O0O in per
sonal tax and more than $2O,S91 900
in corporation tax still is due the
government.
Many inaccurate returns are
made" said the report, some de-
liberately and some ignorantly, and
there are without doubt wholesale
evasions of the law throughout the
country. 1t is absolutely certain
that the government is losing through
inaccurate returns and evasions of
the law a sum many times greater
than the cost of the necessary field

returns and to bring to account those
who are failing to make returns as
required by law

LEGAL POINT OF IMPORTANCE
Breaking of VIII Must Be Along
Certain Line.

The New York Law Journal tells Of
two cases recently decided which are
of some interest upon the contention
quite frequently made that testators
were victims of insane delusions,'
when, in fact, they had merely i'm
bibed false impressions or were
strongly prejudiced or eccentric in
their modes of thought. In re Alex
ander's estate in the supreme court
of Pennsylvania, it was laid down
that a "delusion" of a testator, such
as will invalidate a will, must be IAN
insane belief or mere Pigment of
imagination-a belief in the existence
of something which does not exist and
which no rational person, in the alb
sence of evidence, would believe to
exist" 1t was further laid down that
The burden is on a party relying on
the existence of a delusion to invali-
date will to prove that such delusion
controlled the testator's volition and
destroyed his freedom of action in
disposing of his estate. The evidence
was held insufficient to show that the
will was executed in consequence of
an insane delusion on the part of the
testator the petitioners father,
though testator practically disinherit-
ed her and may have been mistaken
IN his Judgment that she had been
ouilty of unnatural c0nduct toward
him and her mother.

FOUGHT TO DEATH OVER PIG
Possession of Porker the Cause OF
silrp Skrmsh Between Ger
mans and French.

Even pigs figure sometimes the
news from the front and, as might be
expected, in somewhat of a comlcal
light But, says a Paris dispatch, they
have caused a tragedy also. One pig
was the cause of battle in which 81
Germans were killed and another was
made to pose as a corpse to save him
from the enemy.
In Ban-de-Sapt, north of Saint Die,
both French and Germans from their
trenches spied out fine fat porker IN
4 pen, just between the two lines. Both
formed parties to go out and capture
the porcine delicacy. but the French
reached there first. They fastened a
rope about the animals hind legs and
dragged him back to their trenches
with the Germans close behind,
So heated did the controversy over
the pig become that it finally de-
veloped into a night battle in which
the Germans were beaten, losing, be-
sides the 30 dead, number of
wounded.
The other pig had just been killed
by farmer in Flanders when 1t was
reported that the Germans, always
eager for such titbits as fresh pork,
we're near at hand Determined to
save his property, the quick-witted Bel
gian took the carcass to his room,
tucked it in his bed, placed candles
over the sheeted form and was pray
ing feryently when German soldier
entered the room. The soldier tip
toed out when he discovered that he
had come upon chamber of death.
