Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell
If you use Grandmother's
simple recipe Of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

Almost every one knows that
sage tea and sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the nat
ural color and luster to the hair
when faded, strcaked or gray; also
ends dandrutf, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is
nussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get large bot
tie of this famous old recipe for
about so cents.
Don't stay grayl Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so natural
ly and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at a time; BY
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or
two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.

Things to Remember
When Cooking

Rub butter, melted, on clean potatoe.
when they are to be baked. This keeps
the skin from getting thick and hard.
II soup must be served as soon as il
Is made. and there is no time to let the
grease harden, put a piece of ice in it,
and then take 1t out, remove the grease
that has hardened on 1t; put it in again,
and repeat until the grease has all
hardened on the pieca of ice.
Butter the saucepan in which maca :
roni is to be cooked. This will prevent
the maraconi from sticking.
Dried breadcrumbs absorb more liquid
and therefore are better for moist
dish. but crumbs grated or crumbled
from fresh loaf take a lighter, more
delicate color, and are better, therefore,
for very dainty dish.
Never pierce meat while IL Is cooking.
thus allowing the juices to escape.
Always, when mixing a milk mixture
with another. pour the other mixture
over the milk. This prevents curdling.
For instance, in mixing tomato and
milk, add the tomato to the milk. In

pour the meat stock into the other. Add
also a small pinch of soda.
When you wish to cut thin slices Of
bread, heat q steel knife over the IRE
to do 1t with.
After cleaning lettuce and celery
wrap them in a damp cloth and place
them directly on the ice for half an
hour or longer to become crisp.
Keep mayonnaise, butter, milk, cream
and cheese all closely covered, as they
all absorb odors from other foods
readily.
When you make an angel cake. plan
to make a sunshine cake and bowlful
Of mayonnaise, to use the yolks.
When you are frying in deep fat. test
the heat of the fat with an inch square
piece of bread. When it browns in two
minutes the fat is hot enough for un-
cooked food, and when it browns in
one minute 1t is hot enough for cooked
food.
A sprig Of parsley heated with canned
peas gives them a fresh and delicious
flavor.
AS soon as macaroni has been
drained and blanched by throwing it
into cold water. mix with a little but
ter to keep 1t from sticking together.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

AS enduring as the rock Of ages, blue
serge comes into its own every spring.
Not that it goes out at any other sea-
son-but in springtime it Is as omni-
present as showers, flowers and nice
earthy smells. Always popular, serv-
iceable. and in the best of taste. it
holds an assured position that no up
start. short-lived rival materials can
oust it from.
For your small girls between-sea-
son coat nothing could suit your pur-
pose more satisfactorily than navy
blue serge, and splendid design by
which to make up such a garment is
offered in today's sketch.
The odd feature is the belt, which is
an extension of the right side of the
coat. Starting from the neck, the
overlapping right side resolves itself
into slanting f1ve-inch band that
curves gradually into the belt. The

Hopeless for Amateur.

The dressmakers handled the stripes
in most provokingly difficult and
artistic way, one that was almost hope
less for the amateur to initiate No
task is fraught with so many hidden
dangers as this assembling of differ
entity colored lines.
II the amateur will just use caution
and not attempt the most conspicuous
combinations, the result will be pleas
ing. For instance. in the frock of blue
and white, the stripes go the same
way around the figure. and the band
OF solid blue serves to bring all the
loose ends together and act as a
frame.
You will notice the bodice does not
have high collar. This fashion, like
the one for the wide skirt, is optional

PATHE WEEKLY AT
 KEENEY'S TONIGHT

With the Pathe weekly for head liner, the motion picture program at Keeney's tonight gives promise of be- ing one of the most interesting that has been given here in some time. Many important features of the war in Europe are depicted in the Pathe reel to be shown tonight and there will also be treated some subjects of special interest to tine United States Other first run films with exciting dramas and some amusing comedies are on the Keeneyscope program. A diversified program of vaudeville is also given this week. There is such a variety of specialties that all tastes should be satisfied. Judging from the attendance and the ap- plause given at every performance the entire show suits the Keeney patrons and they are not unapprecia- tive of its entertaining qualities.
 Billy Johnson's troupe of cabaret singers and dancers shares headline honors with Del Adelphia, the famous magician, and his sleight-of-hand as- sociates. The number first men toned is a very entertaining act. The young people Tn the troupe possess unusual talent and thcir songs and dances make a most favorable impress sion. Adelphia is g remarkably clever mystery worker. He does a number of seemingly impossible things, introducing many feats that are entirely new to local theater- goers. His cabinet illusions are the most baffling of any ever exhibited here.
 Little Jack Marks, the diminutive English comedian, is a performer of much skill. Jack is a midget. He gives an amusing monologue, enter taining the audience in satisfacto style.
 The other two acts are furnished by the Lawrence Sisters, singers and dancers, and the Loge troupe of acro- bats. The latter act is an acrobatic sensation and it is going big every day.

THE NIGGER" NEXT
 BIG FOX PICTURE

The Fox production extraordinary The Nigger,'' adapted from the stage success "T'he New Governor" by Ed ward Sheldon, with big, powerful and handsome William Farnum playing the stellar role, will be seen at MT. Fox's local theater tomorrow and Saturday. In this play Edward Shel- don, Americas most significant young dramatist. handles unfiincningly and with unerring power, a md\arn prob lem that must be faced fairly and souarely by the people of the United States. The topic which forms the motive of this striking drama is one which legislators and serious thinkers have grappled with unsuccessfully since the days of slavery. MT. Shell con is the first playwright who has had the courage to tackle the subject dramatically. In this photo drama William Farnum, Americas most popular young actor gives a sublime performance of the self-sacrificing hero, Philip Morrow. Under the mas- tcrful directorship of the William FOX forces, the enthralIing drama works out to the proportions of a mighty epic of modern American life dealing as it does with the gravest social, moral and political conditions.
 ''The Nigger" comes to New Britain direct from it's record breaking run at the Hippodrome, New York, where over 35,000 paid admissions were re- corded during the week of the en- gagement. Today's program is a most interesting one, and "The Traffic in Souls and Exploits of Elaine will be shown tonight for the last time. Fox patrons should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing Traffic in Souls" as the chief points are that they constitute a ringing call and ap- peal to all to contribute toward a moral uplift of the erring sisterhood, . so far as each individual can, and to awaken the country to the perils lying close to hand. # -

Here is one of the prettiest corset covers that can be devised, and inciden- tally, it is one of the simplest and easiest to make. It Is cut all in one piece and there are only two seams. It is finished with beading at the neck and waist edges and this beading is threaded with ribbon to regulate the size. In the picture, it is made of crepe de chine with lace edging, but it is just as we'll adapted to the fine cotton crepe that so many women like. to batiste and to all materials used for underwear. If a very dainty effect is wanted, the neck and armhole edges could be scalloped, the front em- broidered with some little design and slits worked within the scalleps to take the place of beading, for hand work always makes the daintiest possible finish for under wear and simple design does not represent any special labor.
 To make the corset cover will be re- quired yd. of material 27, 36 or A in. with } yds. of beading, 2H yds. of edging to trim as illustrated. <
 The pattern 8oI5 is cut in one size only since it Is adjustable. In the case of the larger women it would mean slightly less fullness, in the case of the smaller women, slightly more fullness.
