DARK
HAIR AND
LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray, faded hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry, itchy scalp, and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens SO natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply ddmpen comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears:
after another application or two, it is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.

PAPERS COMMENT ON
CHANCELLOR'S TALK

London, Dec, 10.-The speech Of the
German chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Ffollweg, before the reichstag is COM
mented on extensively by the London
newspapers this afternoon
The charceilor's utterances are de-
scrihed editorially as ''colorless and
perfunctory' and as an attempt to
picture Germany waging a purely de-
fensive war against enemies which
would encircie and starve her. All of
the newspapers characterize as falla-
cious the chancelIor's argument in re-
gard to the analogy between British
politics In Greece and the German In
vasion Of Belgium.

expresses regret for the occurrence,
strong protest will be made by the

officials were unanimous in tneir
opinion-and it was shared largely by
diplomatists, too-ulat the commander
of the Prinz Eitel had no right to sink
the Frye. 1t was considered probable
by officials that the German govern

usual reparation. Some official thought
sufficient amends, a. ter the payment OF
damages, would be tie court martial
