GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made UP Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

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 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
win get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as ii does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

Borrowing Neighbor Considered He

the Transaction.

A few days ago saw OIL McMahon
borrowing a Ratchet or other imple-
ment to drive or draw nails at Sher-
mans hardware store, says the To.
ronto (Kan) Republican. And that
brought TO mind borrowing story
of Uncle Oh:
A great number of years ago Her
bert Lockard owned one of the few
two-section harrows hereabout. Uncle
Oh was farming some, and went up to
borrow it. Norbert always would loan
anything he had, but he wanted it
brought home. So he waited rea-
sonable time for the harrow to be
brought back. and inally, having to
use it, went after it, AS he drove along
he began to get rolled over the thought
of going after his own harrow.
and by the time he got 1t loadet
into his wagon was downright mad,
Said he: "ol. thought you wee leigh
Dor enough to bring home what you
borrowed"
Bring it homel" shouted OF, with
a great show of indignation; bring it
home! Why, heavens to Betsy, man,
l went after it! How much do you
expect of neighbor, anyhow"

HE is SOME CORN HUSKER
Michigan Man Claims Championship
and May Do Huskina Act
In Vaudeville.

Grand Rapids, Mich.--P r. Thomas
of this city claims the championship
of Michigan for corn husking. He es-
tablished a new record this year on
the farm. of r. G. Brumm, near Nash
vile, in Barry county, when he husked
146 bushels in ten hours, an average
of Ia 3-5 bushels per hour, or one
bushel to each Of minutes. His
best time during the day was Is
bushels in 40 minutes.
Mr. Thomas grandfather was an
expert husker and at one time did
even better than the grandson's best
record, husking 1853 bushels in ten
hours His father husked lat bushels
in ten hours.
Mr. Thomas has made a business of
husking corn for II years. He says
the corn in Mr.. Brumm's field is the
best in which he ever worked. The
corn is of the Folsom yellow dent
variety, which was introduced into
this locality by w. II, Burd. Mr..
Brumm's field contains 1-6 acres and
the total yield was 1.143 bushels, an
average of 140 bushels per acre.
There is no question about the cor
rectness OF Mr.. Thomas record, as
accurate time was kept on his work
and on the measure OF his corn by
Mr.. Brumm. Mr.. Thomas says he ex.
poets to beat his own record and that
of his grapdfather next year He may
go on the vaudeville stage with corr
husking act next fall.

The German looked at the little

and guessed what was the scene of
comradeship and bravery which the
spot had witnessed. He gave instruc-

brought and given to the two wounded
men. Surely, that is a scene and a
deed which will wipe out many a bit

Jean tried to lift the Englishman,
but found that he had not sufficient
strength left to take his comrade on
his shoulder. So. half lifting him, and
dragging and rolling him at times, the
gallant little piou-piou brought the

honors as there is evidence Of a com

In the British expeditionary force
there is an English soldier. a member
Of cyclist corps. who is proud to
wear upon his breast the 'medaille
militaire' of the French ~.
The story OF the sitting incident
has been told TO me by Henri Roger. a
young soldier of the Fifth infantry,
who saw it from the trenches and who
is now lying wounded in hospital here.
During one of the engagements
last week on the River Aisne, the Fifth
was holding an intrenched position
and was faced in the distance by
strong force of the enemy To the
RICH. and left of the opposing forces
we're large clumps of trees, in one of
which a force of English troops had
taken up a position. fact regarding
which the Germans were unaware. In
the other wood. it was soon discovered,
lay a considerable body of German
infantry with several machine gun sec
tons.
cyelist Wins peeora ION.
"A road ran beside the wood in
which the enemy lay hidden, and
along it a force o. French infantry was
seen TO be advancing. How we're they
to be saved from the ambush into
which they were marching? That was
the problem, and it was difficult one.
Every time the French troops in
the trenches endeavored to signal to
their oncoming comrades. hidden Ger
man sharpshooters picked off the sig
nalers Soon the position seemed to
be almost desperate; every moment
the intrenched French soldiers ex-
pected to hear the hideous swish OF
the Maxims moving down their I'M
suspecting comrades.
Suddenly, however, something hap
pened which attracted the attention
of the French and German trenches.
From the wood where the English lay
hidden a cyclist dashed-the English,
too, had seen the danger. and cyclist
had been ordered to carry a message
of warning to the advancing French
column. several hundreds strong
"The cyelist bent low in his saddle
and darted forward; he had not gone
a hundred yards before he fell. killed
by a well-aimed German bullet. A
minute later another cyclist appeared.
only, in a second or two, to share his
comrades fate.
"rhen a third-the thing had TO be
done, The bullets whizzeti round him,
but on he went over the fire-swept
zone. The Frenchmen held their
breath as they watched the gallant
cyclist speeding toward the French
column.
"The Frenchmen could not resist
loud 'Hurrah!' when they saw the
daring cyclist dismount on reaching
the officer in command of the troops
which he had dared death to save.
1.-THE officer heard the message and
took in the position at a glance. He
gave an order or Two instantly, and
turned to the Englishman.
Then was there fine but simple
battle picture which should live.
1.-THE French officer saluted the gal
liant fellow standing by the cycle.
Then, with simple movement, took
the 'medaille militaire'-the Victoria
Cross of F'rance--from his own tunic
and pinned 1t on the coat of the Eng
lishman.
II am glad young Roger told me
when he had finished relating the
story, to have lived to see that deed.
1t was glorious!"
