SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR

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
iustre 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 IL at home, which Ia
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 1t does 1t

q sponge or soft brush with it and

4 Timely Contrast Between Europe

Two things stand out unique and

year 1914 has made to the history OF

achievement: the other is Europe's
colossal failure.
Civilization stands aghast at the
collapse OF European ideals. All the
highest achievements of the nations,
all the things that make for progress
and freedom and justice, the work OF
a thousand years and the hopes OF a
thousand more-all have been crowd
ed back into the melting pot OF brutal
war. At It's best war is barbarism.
Brute force belongs to the brute
stages OF human development. The
wholesale carnage of these weeks In
Belgium and France and Austria and
on the borders OF Germany and Rus
sia is a triumph of the savage in
stincts in humanity. No matter who
is responsible for II, the lining up for
mutual slaughter of millions upon
millions Of men from the foremost ma
tions OF Europe, for the alleged pur-
pose OF settling sOmo international
dispute, is a blank denial of clyiIiza-
ton, crime against humanity. an
