attractive. This drama tells he wholly

Something new, something different

ought to be a movement for the I'M

done so but there has been no rush.

The Journal says our story is
really pathetic. Well, that is very

PAINFUL ACCIDENT IN
MINE. AT MINERAL

Especial to The Richmond Virginianl
Mineral, Va, March What
might have been very serious ac-
cident occurred at the ALA Cooper
mines near this place Sunday night
about 1880 o'clock. When Mr.. j. A,
Wheeler. who was operating one of
the underground pumps, approached
can Of carbide to refill small
acetylene lamp which he was using.
there occurred an explosion. which
burned him very painfully about the
head and face. 1t Is thought that
some fragments of carbide lying on
and about the can had come in con-
tact with water. thus forming gas,
which was ignited by the flame Of the
lamp. causing the explosion. Drs.
Judd and billiard. who attended the
injured man, found the eyes so much
affected by the burn that it was
thought best for him to secure hos
pital treatment. Accordingly. he was
taken to Richmond today by Dr. Judd
for that purpose.

OARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will
Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother S
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" YOU will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients. which can be
depended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
a well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through Your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It II not intended for
