Then the club adjourned until next
Saturday night, and it is hoped in the
near future The Round Table will

COMB sage TEA
into GRAY HAIR
Ladies! Try This! DarkenS Beautt-
fully and Nobody Can Tell
Brings Back Its Gloss and
YOuthfulneSs.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients cost
ing about so cents large bottle, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning, all gray
hairs have disappeared. After an
other application or two your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
ard luxuriant and you appear years
yonger Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. It is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

Cadillac Eight Sets
New Coast Record

Another speed record has fallen be-
fore the Cadillac Eight, this being for
the Los Angeles Bakersfield round
trip, 126 miles each way. The new
mark for the distance, five hours and
forty minutes, is one hour and twenty
four minutes under the best previous
motorcar record for this run, recently
made by a twelve-cylinder car.
The car was driven by Ted Beaudet.
Thick fog obscured the mountain
roadway, which was slippery to the
point of being dangerous. In spite
of these difficulties, and the loss OF
seven minutes on account of tire trou-
bic, the run to Bakersfield was COM
pleted in two hours and forty-nine
minutes. The time for the return was
two hours and fifty-onc minutes. only
two minutes longer-evidence of con-
sistent driving under adverse condi-
tions. The twelve cylinder car had
made the trip from Los Angeles to
Bakersfield and return in seven hours
and four minutes, which was the besIl
previous record up to the time of the
Cadillac's performance.
IT is less than a year since a Cadil-
lac Eight, with the same driver, made
the run from Los Angeles to San
Francisco in twelve hours and ten
minutes, beating by one hour and thir-
ty-five minutes the train known as the
Lark. the fastest on the Southern Pa
cific between the two cities.

filled ruts made in the road by the
passage of innumerable heavy truck
trains.
OF course, occasionally the silence
is broken by the firing Of shots, but
in the main these only serve to demon
strate the preparedness of the men
who are doing guard duty along these
lines.
Even Hunting Banned
Even the town of Ascencion, lying
about siXty-liVe miles south of Column
bus, \. NJ, offers no distraction for
the soldiers. once prosperous Mex
lean village. years of civil strife have
left it little more than huddled clus-
ter of huts bearing the marks of this
towns experience.
Because of the order which has gone
out against unnecessary firing, even
hunting is under the ban. AS a result
the wild animals that make their
homes on these fat. dusty plains are
beginning to lose their fear of the SOL
diers. a soldier telegraph operator,
doing at his key in the headquarters,
was startled by a rough tongue laid
against his cheek. He awakened, so
the story goes. to see a coyote, which
had been standing with it's forepaws
OH the rungs of his chair, scamper
away in the darkness.
1t is the arrival of the motor trucks,
to which the soldiers look forward
most eagerly, bringing, as they do
supplies and news from the outside
world.

"VilIa's Drugstore" on
Mule Is Captured by
American CaUalrymen
BY Associated Press

Pershing's Camp at Front in Mexico,
April 10, py Motor and Aeroplane to
Columbus, y. NJ, April 15.-What the
American troopers call VILLAS drug
store" was among the prizes captured
after the Guerrero fight, it was learned
to-day from men of the Seventh Cav
airy who participated in that battle.
The drug store was a pack mule loaded
with quinine capsules. antiseptics and
bandages. In addition the mule car
ried a quantity of coffee. which the
Americans considered of equal impor-
taEce with drugs in maintaining cam
paigning. One of the surprises of this
campaign, according to Brigadier-
General j. j. Pershing, commanding
the expedition, has been the effective
ness of automobiles in mountains and
deserts, both of which were seemingly
impassable to anything except men on
four-footed animals.
"The autos have done work which
astonished me-" said the general.
They have traversed roads which
seemed impossible; they have climbed
hills where the rocks alone appeared
sharp enough to cut the tires and
smash the running gear; they have
gone through canons where a goat
night hesitate. The autos have made
the service except our aeroplanes. The
auto trucks have brought food for men
and horses. not only to advanced bases,
but to points beyond these bases, suf-
ficiently close TO the cavalry columns
TO enable them to send back for sup
plies without losing the advantages of
their early forced marches"
The wild game of this region has
rot learned to fear the machines, from
which one or two deer have been
shot. Droves of wild turkeys, flocks of
quail. coyotes, n few wolves and some
smaller animals have permitted ma
chimes TO approach them closely. The
bears alone have kept out of sight.
The men at this camp have been dig
ging into the ground for shelters
against the cold at night. Tents have
not yet reached here, the rush TO get
food forward to the columns now ap-
preaching the southern part of Chi
huahua in pursuit of Villa having
crowded all other freight from the
auto trucks.
The usual soldiers shelter is a bed
dug TO a depth of six inches with n
small embankment around II for a
windbreak. The dirt at the bottom Of
the trench is pulVerized for comfort
a few of the men. however. have dug
deeper trenches. in which they sleep
with blanket laid over the top except
for a siX-inch aperture for ventilation.
Al noon the temperature is 80; by
early morning the creeks are usually
frozen
