FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur


Hair that loses it's color and lus-
tire, or when it fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack
of sulphur in the hair Our grand
mother made up mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful, and thousands OF
women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound. which
darkens the hair so naturally, SO
evenly, that nobody can possibly tell
it has been applied. Besides, il
takes off dandruff, stops falling hair
and scalp itching. You just damp
en- q sponge or soft brush with il
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time
BY morning the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulhur is that
besides beautifully darkening the
hair after a few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance Of abundance

WILL REVIEW
THIRD RECT,

For the first time In the history of
the National Guard, chief of the Bu-
reau of the National Guard of the
United States will review a regiment
in his department, on December Is,
when Major General w. A. Mann, U.
S. A, of Washington, d. c., will re-
view the Third Regiment in Camden,
at the Armory on Haddon Avenue.
This will be one of the greatest
events ever held at the Third Regi-
ment Armory and Colonel Thomas d.
Landon is proud of his success in get
ting the general commanding the Ma
tional Guard Department to consent
to come to Camden. Every colonel
commanding regiment in the State
of New Jersey has been invited to at
tend the review and Colonel Landon
has been assured by them of their
acceptance.
Other military dignitaries both in
the United States and National Guard
services will be one the scene as the
guests of the regiment.
Previous to the review, dinner will
be served at the Manufacturers Club
in Philadelphia, with Colonel Landon
and staff and field officers of the Sd
as hosts. After the dinner autos will
bring the party to Camden, reaching
the Armory about $50 o'clock.
The entire twelve companies of the
Third with band and field music will
be assembled on the floor about eight
O'Clock ready to receive General Mann
and other high military men in the
reviewing party.
Cards will be issued for the review
and admission can only be gained to
the building by one of them.
The twelve companies of the Third
Regiment are made up as follows:
Company A. Salem. Captain How
ard B. Keasbey.
Company B, Camden, Captain Will
liam j. Gore.
Company C, Camden, Captain Geo.
l.. Selby.

MANY WANT
The OFFICES
South Jersey Much Inter-
ested.
SOME GOSSIP.
Few Places To Be Filled by Gov,
Edge With Many Cam
didates.

All south Jersey is interested in the
long list of desirable public offices
which Governor-elect Walter E. Edge,
the first south Jerseyman to wear
that title in great many years, will
have to dispose of. Every one of the
counties comprising the southern tier
will have one or more candidates for
everyone of the places to be filled in
the three years of Edges term.
Joy is not unmixed with sorrow,
however, for comparatively few of the
places will be available at once. One
of the few exceptions, that of State
Highway Commissioner, now held by
Colonel Edward H. Stevens, of Hud-
son County, at $4,000 year, probably
will go to middle Jersey man. Fred
erick Gilkyson, of Mercer, was Col
onel Stevens predecessor.
1t mas been said, more or less au-
thoritatively, that in view of plans
Tor complete re-organizations of the
State highway system Governor-elect
Edge will name for this office man
of the highest executive ability, pre-
ferably but not necessarily an engi-
neer.
South Jersey has abandoned hopes
SO far as the $4,000 State comptroller
ship is concerned, for it is generally
accepted that Chairman Newton A. X.
Bugbee, of the Republican State Com
mittee, will be named to succeed
Comptroller Edwards, of Hudson, at
a joint session of the legislative
branches early in February Secre-
tary of State Martin holds over until
1920, and the $4,000 Office of clerk to
the Supreme Court, now held by ex-
Senator William c. Gebhardt, Dem
ocrat, will not be vacant until 1918.
1t is generally conceded that for
me- Judge John ). Treacy will be
succeeded as a member of the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners next
yearly an Essex County man. This
place Lays $500.
What politicians tactfully describe
as an uncomfortable situation will
arise from the fact that Attorney
General John w. Wescott, of Camden,
the first south Jerseyman to hold that
office in years, is entitled to draw
tie S.0to salary attached thereto un-
til 1918. The fact that Attorney Gen.
eral Wescott is a Democrat and was
active as partisan in his unsuccess-
full candidacy for United States Sena.
tor will make it necessary for Cover
nor Edge to go outside the State
House for legal advice of more or
less pei onal nature during the first
two years of his administration.
1t is virtually certain that Cover
nor-elect Edge will name for his pri-
vate secretary Francis e. Croasdale,
cf Atlantic City, young newspaper
man. Croasdale has been editor of
the Press, the Governors newspaper,
for several years, and was in charge
of the publicity end of Edges cam
paign from the time he decided to be
candidate. This place pays $4,000 a
year.
A fight for the Cape May County
prosecutorship has been averted by
tfe announcement OF Senator Lewis
T. Stevens that he will recommend
to Governor Edge the appoint
ment Of Eugene Cole. Cole held the
place before.
