MOLINE BOY TEARS
KAISER'S PICTURE
FROM SCHOOL BOOK

Busily engaged with a pair of seis-
soes. a certain i0-year-old youth, in
the fourth grade Of school in Mo
lines bluff district, was ruthiessly
mutilating his geography yesterday.
Down the aisle came the teacher A
storm was impending and 1t looked
mighty black for the lad but he kept
on until the page dropped to the floor
What did you do that for?" angrily
demanded the instructor. You know
better than that.
4 won't have that guys picture In
my book" was the surprising reply.
On the floor was a likeness Of the
kaiser. Needless TO say he was not
chastised.
Another interesting thing about this
same lad is he has a Liberty bond an6
is a regular contributor to the wal
stamp thrift campaign. Not such {
bad American after all, is he?

AN OLD RECIPE
T0DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make 1t
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie of this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about SO cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
thru your hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning the gray hair
disappears and after another applica
ton or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound is delightful
toilet requisite. 1t Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
