|COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
It's Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.

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 troublesome
An easier way is to get the ready-to.
use preparation improved by the addi.
ton of other ingredients, costing 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
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, 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
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

ONLY 700 AMERICANS ARE
IN BRITISH CAMPS NOW
Members of Canadian Force Glad of
Entry of United States in
the War.

London.-America's entry into the
war was hailed with unbounded en-
thusiasm by every one of the 700 ma
tive-born Americans encamped near
London in three Canadian battalions,
one of which, the 211th, has been call
ed the new American Legion because
of it's large percentage of boys from
the states" The other two battalions
are the 212th and 21Sth.
The 211th was called the American
Legion when it was formed out in
Calgary. While in process Of forma-
ton there it attracted Americans from
many parts of the United States and
Canada. So it was only natural that
the members should cling to their ma
tive designation when they landed in
England, especially as the outfit num-
bered more Americans than any Cana
dian battalion since the 9th lost it's
identity when it was broken up and
it's members scattered among other
regiments, some of which were sent to
the front and saw fighting on the
Somme.
Ever since their arrival here early
in January the men of the 211th have
been crying for taste of modern war
fare. Their training in the Canadian
northwest made them hard as nails,
and as is characteristic of the Ameri-
can temperament they were anxious to
show results, and quickly, too.

NOTED FRENCHMAN SPEAKS
AT KANSAS CITY, MO.
Huge Audience Greets M. Viviani, the
French Commissioner, Sunday
Fight for Ideals.

Kansas City, Mo.-"The sacred I'M
ion" of the United States and the en-
tente allies will not be dissolved I'M
til German Imperialism has been de-
stroyed and the peace of the world
assured.
In these words NJ Viviani, head of
the French mission and former pre-
mier of France, acknowledged Sun
day the proffered pledges of the 10y
atty and individual cooperation of the
autocracy. The mission, at the west
ern end of it's trip through America,
became filled with manifestations of
the spirit and patriotism of this Sec
ton. Thousands of persons, waving
the French tri-color and the Stars and
ed all available space in the religious
loyalty meeting in convention hall.
War Is for Civilization.
M. Viviani told the huge audience
that the United States had not enter
ed the war alone to help France, but
rather to uphold the torch of civili-
zation and to obtain for the world ul-
innate peace. His words were greet
ed with an outburst of applause that
subsidized only when Marshal Joffre,
the hero of the Marine, spoke a few
words to return the thunderous ova-
ton given to his country and her sol
diers.
you free Americans SO we'll I'M
derstand why thousands and thou
sands of our children now are sleep
ing their last" M. Viviani said. you
know it was not because there was
in our hearts the desire to conquer.
1t was not the fight of an army
against an army, but it was the fight
of democracy against autocracy.
"You will come not to help France,
but to aid the cause of civilization.
France, bleeding and fighting, with
many destroyed homes and tombs,
has held the German flood that now
is going back. Come to France, you
and help civilization and
1t is the best way, the only
way to insure the peace of the world
The former premier likened the
people of the middle west to his own
saying they would evil
dence the same attributes of thrift
and courage in carrying out the war
that had been shown in France.

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while
the pores in the ten yards Of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water
and lifestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store
This will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing. Those who continue 1t
each morning are assured of pro-
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.

A Hume man who chewed 20 cents
worth of tobacco week concluded to
try a tobacco cure, says the Hume

the next two weeks ate 5 cents worth
of gum, 5 cents worth of candy, 5
cents worth of gum drops "a day. Dur.
ing the two weeks he also consumed
two large rubber erasers, ate the rub
Der from Ia lead pencils, chewed up
a dozen pen holders and browsed off
his mustache as far as he could reach.
He is now chewing tobacco again, in
the interest of economy.

Wheat Crops Look Better.

Washington.-Cro reports gathered
by the chamber Of commerce of the
United States and issued this week in
dictate that the winter wheat yield
may be slightly greater than that Of
last year if future weather is favor
able and that chances are for big
ger production of spring wheat than
last year. Corn, oats and potatoes,
the report says, seems likely to break
all previous production records.

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time

airy defeat" of Saturday did not re-
peat their attack Sunday.
East of Bullecourt, which lies mid
way between Arras and Cambria, the

Petrograd Fears Germans.
With renewed reports from Petro-
grad that the trouble between the
council of workmens and soldiers
delegates and the provisional govern
ment has been amicably settled, cope
fresh advices indicating that the mill
tary commander in Petrograd is fear
full of a German attack by way of the
Gulf of Finland. The commander re-
ports the presence of German mer-
chantmen at Libau apparently wait
ing for the ice to break up in order
to transport troops under convoy of
warships to attack the capital and
has ordered a reorganization of the
reserve forces to defend it.

Hand-to-Hand Fight.
The British and Germans through
out Monday were still engaged in vio-
lent fighting for possession of Bulle-

Cambria, and also in this immediate
region at Roeux and between Fon

The British forces now are on the
northern, western and eastern out

Being prepared for an emergency is
one of the best safeguards against
untoward happiness. If you are going
to have fire it is more likely to hap
pen the day after you let your insur-
ance policy lapse than any other
time. You seldom meet with an &C.
cident when you have taken the pre-
caution to secure a policy covering
that sort of risk. 1t is usually those
who have failed to lay by something
for rainy day that find greatest need
of an umbrella during hours of stress.
