LADIES'! DARKEN
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
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 80 cent bottle of
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t 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, 1t 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 is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease,

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL


No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
q trifle, but Is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying 1t or
afterwards. II your druggist don't
have freezone have him order 1t for
you.

Six Shades Of Red to Lead, II Is
Officially Announced.
soMBER TONES MAY PREVAIL
Manufacturers Think War VIII Cause
American Women to Choose Dull
Clothes Though They May
Be Expensive.

New York.-The manufacturers are
exhibiting their usual interest in the
colors which may come into fashion
next autumn.
To the layman, this forehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
man behind the business knows that
now Is the appointed hour to look with
sharpened eyes into the near future.
Merchandise is stupendous bulk
of material that quickly goes into profit
or loss. 1t makes or mars merchant
and affects thousands who owe to his
cleverness their chance to live In com
fort. If he does not look ahead with
an eye and mind trained to take into
account every minor and major hap
penlng, and every shadow Of coming
events, he goes down into debt and
carries the thousands with him. When
those who are more interested than
ever before in the production of wom-
ans apparel because Of the strain
caused by the war and the feeling of
false economy, say among themselves
that this color and that fabric will
have no chance for popularity next
winter, then they decide momentous
issue.
They realize that the public must be
induced to buy while the buying Is
good; while 1t can make use Of the
pieces of merchandise that exist and
which may soon cease to be worth
while. The public, itself, wants to
know the prospects for the success of
every garment. If Its service Is to be
of short duration, then wisdom dictates
that 1t must be made to yield every
ounce of service now.
Many Of us would willingly buy
garment, or piece Of cloth, If we
were candldly told that 1t would not
serve us long but that it would last
for another three months, giving that
as the reason for Its reduction from
the original price. But we feel cheat
ed and humiIlated when, after buying
something that was supposedly rising
up the hill of popularity, we find that
1t Is quickly going down hill.
Weary Quickly Of Clothes.
Most of us are guilty--if crime 1t
be-of wearying Of what we possess
in the way of clothes before they have
given us value for money expended,
and we willingly give them up under
the pressure Of an excuse that will
satisfy our conscience. If we buy
often and without undue expense, we
right happily fling away the purchase
when Its time comes to go.
1t is this psychological truth that
lies down deep in the spirits of the
majority, that makes 1t possible for
the department shops to reap snug
fortune each season out of the mod
ishly cut and cheaply priced garments

there are six grays called munitions,
and several shades of purple under the
name of academic. The American navy
blue Is shown, and under the name of
chestnut there are shades Of brown.
Three quite adorable pinks are prom
ised for evening gowns.
The American manufacturers are
quite certain that somber tones In fab
RIGS will prevail after the summer
They think that the state Of war will
result in the choice by our women OF
sober Clothes even though they may
be expensive ones. France, 1t Is true,
went In almost Historically for dull
clothes even before single batch of
wounded was brought home, but neil
ther England nor Canada cut out the
buying Of colOrful clothes, nor did the
women Of those countries seem to
think 1t was necessary to economize.
The English department shops, for in
stance, had all they could do to sup
ply the immense demands of the thou
sands of women who came into money
suddenly through the high wages paid
their husbands or their own suddenly
discovered wage-earnlng capacity.
There Is every reason to suppose
that when the first excitement of war
Is over our women will go on buying
the kind Of clothes they prefer, but
the manufacturers have decided that
1t Is best to look forward to soberer
colors than we have worn.
VIII silks Grow In Strength
Another question important to the
people who sell apparel has to do with
silk. We have been wearing 1t reck-
lessly, and without regard to the fact
that we could have cotton. All classes
have INDUCED in silk weaves for every
kind of garment, and the majority
seems to have forgotten that In the
near past only those with fine incomes
lndulged In that luxury, and even they
guarded their silk things.
1t is believed, however, by those who
balance conditions, that the American
woman can continue to indulge her
self In the wearing OF silk because
woolen will be needed by our govern
ment or one across. the sea. Cotton
things are expensive and win become
more so, because the raw material is
sorely wanted by all countries. So
It may turn out to be silk for econ
omy's sake. There is also reason to
believe that satin and velvet will be
