GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

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 1t at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it, 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 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy

LET 1T GO WITH THE OLD YEAR.

How many of us make our backs
ache carrying useless, foolish bur-
dens! We carry luggage and rubbish
that are of no earthly use, but which
sap our strength and keep us jaded
and tired to no purpose. If we could
only learn to hold on to the things
worth while and drop the rubbish-let
go the useless. the foolish. the silly,
the things that hinder-we should not
only make progress, but we should
keep happy and harmonious as well.
One of the secrets of right living is
letting that go which absorbs our en-
ergies and retards our progress. We
should let our unfortunate past ex-
periences drop into the world of OBJ
ivion- We should never recall a dis
agreeable memory or mistake unless
it be to arm ourselves against falling
into further errors If the past tor
ments and haunts you cut it off sharp
ly as IL with a knife. Do not allow
its shadow to darken your present or
rob your future of its possibilities
Profit by the lessons it has taught. but
do not morbidly brood over them.
Do not hang on to the things that
keep you back. that make you I'M
happy Let go of the worry, let go of
the anxiety, let go OF the scolding,
fretting and Tuning. let go of criti-
cism, let go of fear. let go of anxious.
over-strenuous life. let go of selfish

Ammunition Used in War.

How much ammunition does a mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been ex-
pending; but we know what the Ger
mans used in 1901. The total for
rifles was 100000 cartridges, for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege of Strassburg alone cost.
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used In all the
decisive battles and actions through
out the whole war. OF course these
figures are a mere sbagatelle COM
pared with those of the present strug-
gle. with its millions of soldiers and
its quick-fring guns and its week-long
battles.-Manchester Guardian.
