EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try This Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
and Brush 1t Through Your Hair,
Taking One Strand at Time

When YOU darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For so cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning all gray
hair disappears, and, after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy and lux
uriant. You will also discover dandruff
is gone and hair has stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear.
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur and look years
younger-Adv.

TO BLOCK PLAN FORCING
paid fire Departments
Objection Raised to Feature of Wal
ton Bill Proposing Civil Service,
and It Is Referred to Committee
For Amendment

Objection to the Walton bill pro-
posing civil service for police and fire
departments in third class cities in
Pennsylvania-of which Harrisburg is
one-on the contention that a provi-
sion of the measure made it practically
mandatory for cities to establish paid
fire departments caused that measure,
which has been on the postponed cal
endar of the House for some time, to
be recommitted to the Municipal Cor
porations committee for the purpose of
amendment last night. This feature,
according to Representative Wildman,
will be eliminated from the bill. Its
chances of passage are considered
much better with that part of the bill
taken out.
Volunteer firemen's organizations
throughout the State have gone on rec
ord as being against any such provi-
sion and there world have been objec-
tion to the bill on that ground.
With view to permitting third
class cities to have paid fire depart
ments, only in event of the cities de-
string them, Representative Wildman
will have the Legislative Reference
Bureau look into the onstitutionality
of a plan which would provide for a
referendum vote on the subject.
If such plan is constitutional it is
likely Wildman will introduce a bill
embodying it in this session of the
Legislature. The question of a paid
fire department viii be put up to the
electors on Eyes" or "no" vote
under his plan. The Wildman bill will
be new one and in no way connected
with the Walton bill proposing civil
service in the police and fire depart
ments in third class cities.

When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared shamroos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified eocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.

LOOKS ID WORKING UNIVERSITY MINES Rogers May Be Able to De- wise Plan to Operate Them
 Under Lease System

Montgomery, october 14.-(Special) P. ]. Rogers chairman of the board or convict inspectors, is away for few days on trip to Jefferson, Tuscaloosa and Walker counties where he will look into the practicability of work ing state convcts in coal mines owned by the University of Alabama.
 At the recent session. of the legis- lature a bill was introduced by Rep resentative John Rogers of sumter county providing an appropriation or s25O.0O for devising a system for the working of convicts in the university coal mines. but this bill did not pass. AS will be remembered the bill passed the house shortly before the adjourn ment of the legislature, and was also passed by the senate with several amendments. The house refused to accept the senate amendments and the measure was killed.
 However, the plan proposed by MT. Rogers in his bill may yet be put into oneration. though no appropriation is available for putting the scheme into eff feet. It is pointed out, though, that the state may be able to lease the coal mines owned by the university and thereby put into execution the system proposed by the Sumter county representative.
 Mir. Rogers, chairman of the convict board. will make careful investigation of the matter during his trip to Jefferson. Tuscaloosa and Walker counties. and T he is able to devise some method by which the plan may be put into operation, it is more than probable that the state VIII be engaged in working the university mines within the near future.

 Grecian Attitude Regarding the attitude of Greece, Sir F,dN ara Grey referred to the statements made by ex-Premier Venizelos and the new Greek premier NJ. Zaimis, and said it must be obvious that the interests of Greece and Servia were now one. In the long run. he said, they must stand or fall together.
 The military measures adopted to
 meet the requirements or the new situa-
 ton are the subject of continuous at-
 tention by the military authorities of the allies, and they will be taken in close consultation with each other. It is not my province to make a public disclosure of the military plans. and l can only say l believe they will be based on the principles Of sound strategy.
 "Servia is fighting for national exis- tence, and with her the struggle is just now intense and acute, but the struggle is one and the issue one in whatever the atre of fighting place.
 All the allies are lighting for national existence. and for all who are fighting the right to live not under the shadow of Prussian militarsm which does not ob- serve the ordinary rules of humanity in war and to leave us free from the men ace of oppression"
