IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look oldl Try erandmother'S
Recipe to Darker and 6eautlfy
Gray, Faded, Llfeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with 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 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" 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 dam
drum, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeths Sage and Sulphur,
because 1t darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

distressed soul, and will pity and help
it again. Why is there mercy-seat.

time of need? Be patient till the
Lords tender mercy and love visit
thee again; and then. look up to him
against this and such like snares,
which would come between thee and
the appearance OF the Lords love;
that thou mayest feel more OF his abid-
ings with thee, and of the sweet eff
fects thereof. For these things are not
to destroy thee, but to teach thee Wis
dom; which the Lord is able, through
many exercises and sore trials, to be-
stow upon thee; that thy heart may be
rid of all that burdeneth, and filled
with all it rightly desires after, in the
proper season and goodness Of the
Lord; to whose wise ordering and ten

BERLIN HAS MANY MANNED

man Capital.

Berlin.-No fair picture could be
drawn Of the Berlin of war time that
did not include mention of the thou
sands Of wounded in the streets. In
motor cars, in wheel chairs and in the
crowds on the streets, they are every
where, limping, manned and swathed
in bandages. At one dinner table >,
the Hotel Adlon were four officers,
every one Of whom had his arm in a
sling, and two Of whom had their
heads in bandages. One, captain,
had lost his right hand. but he had
the iron cross Of the first class and he
seemed the happiest Of the party. In
deed, the cheerfulness Of the wounded
contrasted strikingly with the sad
eyes OF the many women in mourning.

INDIAN HAD SENSE OF HUMOR
At Least Enough to Get OF Good
Joke on the Cross. Examln-
Ing Lawyer.

From Fenimore Cooper and other
authorities We have gained the i'm
preston that the Indian is a stolid,
severe individual, with no sense Of
the white mans humor. but one red
brother showed himself quite a civ
ilized joker the other day in the Unit
ed States court at st. Paul. He was
a witness in holly contested case,
and q lawyer was after him in the
most approved style to cast discredit
on his testimony. After apparently
frightening the Indian with the awful
consequences which would follow the
slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
Nov, sir, want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me how you get
your living?"
The Indian looked straight at the
lawyer and, with that grave air ia
miliar to all acquainted with the red
man, simply said: Eat"
The courtroom roared and the law
yer let the witness so.

Ambition and Humility.

The highest ambition is the parent
OF the truest humility; It makes one

high that we need a power far beyond
our own for the accomplishments OF
so transcendent a work; that II we
are truly to be co.workers with Al.
mighty God himself in the working
out Of the great scheme that rules the
universe, the task Is far too great for
our unaided efforts, and we may con-
fidently rely upon a power divine to
help us In all our needs.

EYE KISS HEROINE
AUTO CRASH VICTIM
"Ruzzielamb" Not Near When
Miss Helen w. Smiths Car
Struck Pole.

Helen Woodruff Smith, the famous
"Brunhilde" of the "Ruzzielamb" breach
of promise suit, is H. the United Hos
pital, at Port Chester, with severe in
juries, received in an automobile ac-
cident near Rye late Sunday night.
Miss Smith, with her sixteen-year-
old son, Dickinson Cummings, whose
father is Homer S. Cummings, ex-
Mayor Of Stamford, and vice -chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, and Raoul lie Mat, aviator and
driver of speed automobiles, was racing
along the Boston Post Road when a
tire burst, throwing the car into a
telegraph post. Her son, who was driv-
ing, was not injured, but lie Mat is in
the hospital with conclusion of the
brain and perhaps a fractured skull.
Miss Smith divorced her husband in
1907. In 1911 she figured conspicuous
ly in a $4,000 breach of promise suit
brought by Russell Griswold, chorus
man. At the trial Griswold introduced
some 200 letters flooded with senti-
mental phrases, such as "Ruzzielamb,"
precious Boy" and "'iy Siegfried." AL
though these notes were often sealed
with "eye kisses" there was no men
ton of marriage, and the jury decided
against the disappointed lover.

FALL FROM GRACE
COST FAMILY $1,000
Relatives Make Good Yonkers
Cashiers Shortage-Bank
Not to Prosecute.

"Marsden fell from grace" was the
explanation offered yesterday by
trustee of the Yonkers Savings Bank in
discussing the resignation of Charles
p. Marsden, cashier of the institution
for six years.
When a shortage of almost $4,000 in
Marsden's accounts was discovered
relatives returned the missing funds,
and the cashier was permitted to re-
sign, with the promise that no action
would be brought by the bank.
Marsden is a member of an old and
respected family of Yonkers and has
been known as of irreproachable habits
For twelve years he had been connected
with the bank and proved himself eff
cient and trustworthy. He lives at 304
Hawthorne Street. and has two sons.
The irregularities were not dscov-
cred until about three weeks ago. when
inspectors of the State Department Of
Banking were called in. They reported
that Marsden's books showed a short
age of $500.
While it is certain that no action
will be taken by the bank authorities
against Marsden. it is question
whether the bonding company will not
prosecute him.
