SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY Half
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

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 it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe. be-
cause 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 time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

The monks have occupied this ancient mon

Persons who have read about certain modern
enterprises in Jerusalem and other parts of the
Holy Land may have gained idea that the
Turk has become more amiabe in recent years,
This is mistake. You can only get anything
from the Turk by paying him exorbtantly and
this is not always possible.
Until recently" writes the Rev. Lewis b. Pa
ton. professor of Old Testament history in Hart
ford Theological seminary. no permits for
vation were given by the government and when
under European pressure. frmans were at last
granted. these we're hedged around with many
restrictions that they were of little practical
value According to the present Turkish law of
antiquities. the consent of the local authorities
must first be secured before permit will be
issued in Constantinople. To obtain this lavish
expenditure of money is necessary in order
overcome the fanaticism and prejudice of the
provincial authorities.
THE site desired for exploration must be
purchased at a price estimated by the owners.
After local permission is secured endless delay
and bakshish are necessary before edict
be secured from the central government When
at last 1t is obtained Turkish commissioner,
whose expenses paid by the excavator, must
be constantly in attendance to decide what may
and what may not be done, and all antiquities dis
covered must be turned over to the imperial Otto
man museum. These conditions stand in dis,
agreeable contrast to the liberal provisions in
Egypt where any competent person is allowed
to excavate, and is required only to divide his
finds with the Cairo museum.
AT the beginning the exploration of Pales.
tine confined to the study of places and
objects that remained above ground. Edward
Robinson, the distinguished American archeolo
gst and professor in Union Theological seminary,
New York. in series of journeys carried on dur.
ing the years following 1898, and the French
scholar Guerin, ascertaired the modern names
of many localities, and succeeded in identifying
them with places mentioned in the Bible. The
Palestine exploration fund, founded in England
in 1865. and largely supported by American con.
trbutors, conducted elaborate survey of Pales.
tine, whose results embodied in their Great
Way of Palestine which is still the standard
