COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark,
Glossy, and Youthful With Sage
Tea and Sulphur

The old-tirne mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad-
vantage.
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' 8
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t is
very popular because nobody can dis
cover it has been applied. Simply
mo1sten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair. taking one small strand at a
time: by morning the gray hair dis
appears. but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance of abundance
which Is so attractive. This ready-to-
use preparation is delightful toilet
reouisite for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. 1t Is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

clear of the torpedo's course when it
preached on the surface, turned
sharply toward the vessel, and struck
the stern of the Cassin.
fortunately only one engine was
disabled, thereby permitting the de-
stroyer to remain under way, circling
in search of the submarine. After
about an hour the submarine exposed
it's coming tower long enough for the
Cassin to fire four shots Two of the
shots fell so close to the submarine
that it was forced to submerge i'm
mediately and was not seen again.
The Cassin continued to search until
dark when. having been joined by
other British and American patrol
vessels, she was taken safely into port.
"Vice Admiral Sims states that the
behavior of the officers and the en-
tire crew was admirable. There was
no excitement on board; the men re-
naming quietly at their battle sta
tons throughout the might except
when called to other duties. He COM
mends the British navy for the
prompt action, which probably saved
the Cassin from total loss. He also
commends Lieutenants MacLaran,
Saunders, and Parkinson for their
ingenuity in effecting temporary re-
pairs, and for their GOODNESS and eff

yards distant and making for the ship
at great speed. He ordered full speed

DocToRlNe THE WELL.

That doctors In China are paid for
keeping their patients well and that
their pay stops when sickness begins
has long been popular belief in the
Occident. where it has been accepted
as another proof of the oriental habit
of doing things backward according
TO our standards. However much or
little Truth there may be in the ira
dition, the general principle was the
topic of animated debate at the last
meeting of the New York Academy of
Medicine, says Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Modernized, it was used as an argu
ment for preventive doctoring instead
OF waiting until a disease appeared.
The hope was expressed that some day
it m ght become fashionable for peo-
pie to visit their doctors every quar-
ter or half year for examination so
That danger spots might be located in
tlme and sickness and suffering avert
ed. As it is. as everyone knows, the
visit to the doctor is the last
resort, very much as the visit
TO the dentist used to be in the
days of tooth drawing by brute
strength. 1t is a suggestive thought
based on the reputed Chinese custom,
as to what benefits might accrue to
humanity if all the doctors could be
modified daily in preventive effort in
stead of sitting in their offices waiting
Tor victims-of disease, not necessarily
or doctors-Or motoring around on
hurry calls at all hours.

portrait of a man who knew how to
hold his tongue, which this old fool
never did"
The portrait does indicate that the
original could be reticent, but it also
shows that he could control himself.
The square. massive jaw, the full.
broad-based nose, and the compressed
lips express pugnacity and passion,
such as require strong will to keep
them in subsection.
Sometimes even Washington allowed
his passion to have sway.

First to Adopt CONSUMPTION.

Switzerland was the first European
country to adopt universal military
service. The original founders of the
Swiss confederation enacted that who
ever shirked military training was de-
clared devoid of honor and perjured, -
and his house was vowed to destruc-
ton.
Should a man summoned to take
part in military expedition prove I'M
able to respond, owing 10 Illness or
some other valid reason, he had to fur.

NO WASTE IN OIL.

Go back to the days when Pennsyl-
vania crude was So barrel or high
er in 1877 and before, and gasoline was
waste product There was no market
for It. Refiners were glad to get rid
Of ii at almost any price, or even give
it away. In some instances thousands
of gallons were dumped into the
streams as the storing of it was men
ace 10 the works, and there was no
future outlook for it, AS much of the
lighter product as possible was left in
the kerosene, and the manufacturers
sought uses for it in various ways. Com
ditions have reversed themselves.
Gasoline is the most desirable pre- duct
of petroleum. Instead of blending it
with the lighter grades of kerosene,
the latter is being cut to make more
gasoline and the gravity of the motive
power fluid is being reduced until it
has practically reached the gravity of
light kerosene. What was waste
product has become an important ar
ticle of commerce, says Oil City Der
rick. A barrel of oil, which in past
years lost a certain PROPORTION in
waste, is now utilized to the last pint.
The barrel of crude petroleum has In
creased in intrinsic value b, cause
more of its component parts have been
called for in the worlds / dustrial
growth, until now there is nothing
lost. Petroleum eliminates and heats
the homes of thousands; it cooks
meals: it preserves canned foods; 1T
enters into dozens of little household
duties which are made easier by its
use; it turns wheels in great factories /;
it drives locomotives; speeds the auto
mobiles; has made airplane and sub
marine practical; does farm chores /;
smooths the roads; destroys pests; is
valuable in medicine, and attracts the
highest scientific knowledge in its
study. From the humblest of duties
to the greatest, petroleum plays its
part, and to this perfect utilization of
all it's products is due the higher
prices which it commands
