RECIPE TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
BY a Specialist

A very satisfactory preparation
which darkens gray hair and acts as
a corrective agent for dandruff and
other diseases of the scalp can be made
at small expense and in your own home
by dissolving small box Of Barbo
Compound in Z ounces of water and
then adding an ounce of bay rum and
a quarter ounce of glyeerine. Any drug
store can furnish these ingredients.
This is to be applied once week until
the hair is sufficiently darkened, then
every two weeks to keep the hair soft
and glossy and the scalp in q healthy
condition. 1t may be used with equal
success in darkening the beard. This
is preparation that gives splendid
results, both as hair darkener and a
remedy for all scalp disorders, and is
well worthy of trial. You will find It
far superior to the ordinary store prepa-
tions and much less expensive.-Adv.

Cause of One War

William the Conqueror lost his life
in France through his horse treading
on redhot cinder while he was su-
perintending the burning of Nantes,
but few people know the fact which
gave rise to the campaign that cost
his life.
During the latter part of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con
sequently the laughingstoek of not only
his subjects, but his neighbors across
the water. One day his contemporary,
Philip of France, compared him to a
fllet of veal on casters and suggested
that he should be exhibited at a prize
monarch show. This so enraged Will
liam that he straightway made war
upon his ridiculer, and the loss Of
thousands of lives was the result
