Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE out

COMB Sage TEA

at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improv-
ed by the addition of othe;, ingredi-
ents, costing about so cents large
bottle, at drug stores, known as Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus aviding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sim

full appearance an dattractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair taking one
small strand at time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and Iuxurant and you appear years

A man recently sent cablegram
to New Zealand and he spent an en-
tire day figuring how to save a few
words. We don't blame him, as the
charge was something like $3.50 q
word.
When man buys newspaper space,
paying his good money for it and eX-
pecting it to make profit for him
in increased sales, he should imagine
he's writing telegram or cable
gram, and put in some time on it.
It is rule Of advertising that
when an advertiser treats the space
he buys with respect and puts the
maximum Of pulling power IN it, he
will gain in respect and patronage
from the public.

{Memphis Commercial Appeal.l
There is something solemnly beau
tiful in the Lodge of Sorrow held by
the Elks of the nation every Deem
Der.
It is a sacred tribute that the sur
wing brothers pay to those who have
departed during the year.
Sitting in the silence with the lights
all out and hearing the roll of the
dead called in the darkness is start
ingly impressive.
In the dark an occasional sob can be
heard, the sob of some woman who
has lost a husband, a brother or a
sweetheart, and the sob comes when
his name is called, and through the
darkness he allegorically answers on
the cross before the audience.
Many of the spectacular features
yesterday had to be abandoned because
the ceremonies were held in the Tenn
pie of the Children Of Israel, but the
impressiveness of the service was en-
phasized. It was q. ceremony that
reached the hearts of every one pres
ent.
No exalted ruler of recent years has
presided so impressively as Sim l..
Barinds. His heart was in the SER
vice, for there was the name of no
man called that he had not personal
ly visited in his dying days.
He saw the vanishing herd, could
hear the call to the pasture ground
above. He knew that the parting
was near, and his big heart beat heav-
lily through grief and compassion.
There is this beautiful thought in
this ceremony of the Elks. The dead
are, unfortunately, too quickly for
gotten Our friends are with us to-
day, we bury them tomorrow and the
day after, while our hearts may still
be sore, we are willing for some one
to take their places.
The Elks can not forget. They may
be careless and forgetfuI of many
things, but when the Lodge of Sor-
row is held, loyal brothers are there
to silently utter prayer for some
brother who was with them a year
ago and who this year is missing.
This is not only true in Memphis,
but it is true the same in every city
town and hamlet in the civilized world
where lodge of Elks exists.
II is also beautiful for the living
to remember that after death seals
their eyes there are those left in tho
living world who will honor theii
memory in fitting, sincere and ex.
pressive way.

REAL ADVERTISING.

No writing is too good for an adj
vertisemcnt, business expert der
clares; AMI adds that most of the
writing in advertisements isn't good
enough.
When a man writes a telegram he
invariably studies every word, so that
he may save in telegraph tolls and to
be sure that the recipient does net get

MONEY GOES HIGHER
IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, Dec. 4.-Twelve per cent
was paid for call loans on the stock
exchange here this afternoon. This is
the highest rate quoted for this form
of accommodation since the outbreak
of the war, the rate on August i
1914, not exceeding 10 per cent. To-
days rise was due to the steady
shrinkage of local bank reserves,
which have fallen from 500, 100000
to $41 100000, since the federal re-
serve system became operative. A
loan was made at Is per cent. From
that level the rate declined to 10 per
cent, activities and higher rate to-
day.
