DARKEN GRAY HAIR.
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Dark
ems So Naturally that
Nobody Can Tell.

Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and luster
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. by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
for about 20 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t docs 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 a
time: by morning the gray hair dis
appears. and after another application
or two. YOUR hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.-Advt.

Servian Capital Overcrowded.

Nish, Servia. via London, Jan. 60
Nish has become the provisional capt
tai. the seat of government and the
from the roar of battle.
.Nish contains today three times its
normal population. Thousands of FIJI
gitives have arrived here from Bel
grade. Semendria and SabaZ. with I'LL
of the worldly possessions they We're
able to carry.
Only a month ag" people were oblig-
ell to sleep in the streets. and the no
tolls and lodging houses let out their
beds to clients turn about for day and
night. Those who had the good for
tune to have beer able to engage beds
for the night would not he ont nf them
long enough in the morning for the
sheets to cool off before those whose
turn was for the day slipped in and
fell asleep.
All the cafes, the railway station
and the shops transformed themselves
into dnrmitories. The moment tho
| dirty dishes were removed from the
tables they We're turned into double
uecked beds. The luckiest individuals
slept on top, the less fortunate ones
underneath.
Little by little. however. this sur
plus population began to spread out a
bit. first into nearby villages, then
even to the summer resorts. until to-
day Nish, while still staggering under
the weight Of a population enormous,
is able to accommodate all without
at least making them sleep in the
streets.

fresh stories are In circulation about
the feverish haste with which the Ger.
mans are turning out Zcppelins. 1t Is
said that the Germans now have avail
able forty of the new type Of Zeppelin.
The chief improvement lies in the fact
that the explosives no longer are dis
charged from the navigating cabin, but
are fired when the craft goes into ac-
ton from IL special car suspended 500
yards below the airship proper. Onlv
one man occupies this magazine car, so
that if anything goe wrong the loss OF
life will be comparatively insignificant.
while. on h other hand. the chances
OF damage to the airship by premature
explosion or other mishap are reduced
to neXt to nothing.
1t is again asserted that the new Zcre
pelins arc being fitted with a kind of
torpedo. from thirty to forty of which
will be carried by each ship. Their OK
plosivc power is said to be fully equiv
alent to that of a shell Of the fin.
