TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark,
glossy and youthful with a
simple mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
a Youthful appearance is Of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents q bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, Is that, besides
beautifully darkeniEg the hair after q
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance Of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet requisite
Tor those who desire more youthful APP
pearance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Story of ''The Wrecker."
Jim Hilton, an engineer on the L.
& N. railroad, is in love with Helen
Powers. One day while out auto
mobile riding, fire broke out at the
Iris theatre and while making a run
to the fire one of the trucks of the
Pensacola Fire Department collides
with Helen's AUTO. Helen is rescued
from the wreck by Jack Manning,
also an engineer on the L. & N. rail
road. Of course, it is a case of love
at first sight, between Jack and
Helen. Later jim Hilton becomes
jealous of Jack and one day picks a
quarrel with him at the houndhouse
which results in a fight. A complete
knockout of one of the principals is
prevented by the superintendent,
Bernard Powers, arriving on the
scene. President Blocker arrives in
Pensacola to inspect the Pensacola
division with the board of directors
He tells Powers to place his best en-
gineer on the mail special as the
L. & n. railroad must win the mail
race and hold the government fast
mail contract. Powers tells him that
Jack Manning is the best engineer
and will get the run. Later Jack
proposes to Helen and is accepted
When Jack asks her father, Bernard
Powers, for his consent to the en-
gagement and marriage to his
daughter, Powers tells him that he
cannot support her in her accustom-
ed luxury on the salary of an engin-
err, but that there is to be a race
on his road for the government con-
tract to carry the fast mail to Chi
cago and if he wins the race he will
be promoted to assistant superinten-
dent and then can marry Helen. Hill
ton hears of the coming mail race
and Jacks selection to make the run.
Satan tempts Hilton to wreck the
north and southbound mail trains
due to pass on the double track just
| before Jacks engine starts the mail
race. He yields to temptation and
throws the switch that connects the
double track, throwing both trains
on the same track. The steel mons
tiers crash togethed in a head-on- col
lision and a terrible catastrophe is
revealed to our view. (The scenes
are of an actual wreck and at the
time. the pictures were taken the
| fireman of one of the engines lies
buried beneath his engine,) The
overturned steel cars and torn VI
tracks delay our hero in his race fol
the fast mail contract. But in spite
of the heavy odds he wins the race
