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 lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- blesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients, cost ing about 50 cents large bottle, at drug stores, known as Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid ing 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 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 delightful toilet re- quisite It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease.

ARK ANSAS WILL BE CALLED

Little Rock, March 30-The pros pect that Arkansas will soon be called upon to furnish it's quota of a large army in the event of war with Ger many is giving an impetus to the or ganization of the National Guard. Well informed persons say that 15,000 will be about the number of men Ar kansas may be called upon to furnish, and the two present meager regi- ments would make hardly beginning.
 Applications are being made for the organization of companies in many places in the state. Among the appli- cations received yesterday were Capt. St. Clair of Hot Springs, George O. Patterson of Clarksville, R. l.. Hutch ins of Augusta, Helena and Wynne. Other points where companies are being raised are England and Malvern.
 Not only are recruiting agents work ing for more soldiers in the United States, but the navy is endeavoring to secure about 25,000 more men, and Arkansas is being asked to supply it's quota.
