TURN HAIR DARK
With SAGE TEA
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy
and Youthful With a Simple Mix
';'ea ture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur

3 The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using
It to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as are living
in an age when 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 ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur Compound" for
about so cents a bottle. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
It has been applied. Simply moisten
-our comb or a soft brush with it and
oraw this through your hair, taking
enc small strand at time; by moru-
ing the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications. it also pro-
drces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-ti-use preparation is a de-
ltghtful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. 1t
is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease. advt.

COUNTY CLERK KELLY
With No Appetite, All Rundown,
Tells How VinOl Helped Him.

So many cases like this are coming
to our attention that we are publish
ing this letter for the benefit of Amer
icus people who are in MIR. Kelley's
condition. Read our offer below.
GAINESVILLE, Tenn. Il am County
Court Clerk, and became rundown. no
appetite, was drosy and felt badly
most of the time, I had tried seevral
remedies without benefit. One day I
read an advertisement of Vinol and at
once tried it. In a short time my APP
petite improved, my strength increas-
ed and l felt better in every way" S.
w. Kelley
The reason Vinol is successful in
such cases is because it is an I'M
equally tonic-body builder, combining
beef and cod liver peptones, iron and
manganese peptonates and glycero-
phosphates, the oldest and most fam
Gus tones known to medicine.
So strong is our faith in Vinol that
we offer to return the purchasers
money in every case if Vinol should
fail to give satisfactory results.

BY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT

BY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
assistant Secretary of the Navy
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. .2-As a
measure of safety the United States
government should assume control of
every wireless station In this country,
except those engaged in purely intra-
state business, at once.
Control of wires and cables is SIM
pie, but wireless messages are easily
irterferred with by outsiders. There
should be government ownership of
all wireless apparatus in peace as well
as in war time, as matter of public
policy. We shouldn't let this matter
wait until trouble is upon US.
The suggestion has been made to
congress and is based on fundamental
ly the character of wireless telegra-
ply. In land telegraph lines and
submarine cables each separate wire
sends it's own messages and does not
interfere with the sending if messages
on other wires. The location and ex-
istence of these wires and cables is a
matter which can be determined al
most at a moments notice. The con-
troll of these is an easy matter from
the military or naval point of view
Wireless is entirely different. The
sending and receiving machinery is
small and readily doncealable, and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-02-02
Government Should Take Ouer
All Wireless Stations at Once

the actual transmission of the mes
sage is through the waves Of the air.
This means, Of course, that interior
ence between messages increace mes
cessarily the number of messages, I'M
less perfectsystem with central con-
troll is initiated. The increase in the
number of installations all over the
United States has been greater than
the development of science in respect
to non-interference and the result Is
growing confusion.
Quite aside from the general ques-
ton of the advisability of establish
ing a government monopoly, the con-
siledations in favor of government OPP
Grafton of wireless far outweigh any
possible disadvantages.
Central control has been demonstra-
ted to be a necessity: it cannot be car
ried out successfully, except by actual
government operation and, more i'm
portant still, the military and naval
requirements are such that it would
be unsafe, speaking in broad sense,
to wait until after a declaration OF
war before taking over or closing up
hundreds and thousands of small indi-
vidual, privately owned stations.
The only way by which real safety
can be assured is for the government
to exercise this control in times OF
peace also.

What Is
AlabaStine?

Alabastine is a beautiful, sanitary,
durable and economical material for
use on all interior wall surfaces.
Alabastine in white and tints comes
prepared for use, in dry powder form,
requiring only the mixing with either
cold or warm water.
Alabastine is applied with any good
or S-inch wall brush.
Alabastine may be used on rough or
smooth plaster, wall board, cement.
brick. wood or canvas.
Alabastine is sanitary In its nature,
beautiful In its effects, easy to mix and
apply, and too superior to be compar-
ed with ordinary kalsomines.
Alabastine is more artistic than wall
paper, more effective than paint, more
permanent than kalsomine.
Alabastine goes further, lasts longer
and is more durable than any kalso-
mine.
Alabastine is less expensive and far
more sanitary than wall paper.
