few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
wen-Known Local Druggist Says
Everybody Is Using OId-Time
Recipe of Sage Tea and
sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays We get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally. so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just damuen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. it also brings
back the gloss and luster and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the eure, mitigation or pre-
Nention Of disesse.-Adv.

PATROL WAGON
DRIV ERS MAY
RANK POLICE
Local Police Chaufeurs
Subject Of Bill by Rep
resentative Wheeler.

Patrol wagon drivers Of the Metro
politan Police Department are here
after to be considered as full-fledged
members of the force, IL the bill which
passed the House yesterday Is sue
cessful in the Senate
Representative Wheeler is the author
of the bill, and as a member of the
House District Committee he said In
his report that:
THE patrol drivers are compelled to
work ten hours a day while on duty
in daytime, and fourteen a night when
on night duty. The two shifts alter
nate weekly. and by this shifting of
duty each driver is compelled to work
twenty-four hours without time off
for meals or recreation every second
Sunday.
The patrol drivers, while classed as
chauffeurs. are really patrolmen. They
are compelled to purchase their own
uniforms which the department Sc
lects. They are sworn in as police
men. They participate in every arrest
made while they are on duty. They
are compelled 20 risk their lives and
subject themselves to the dangers in
cident upon handling prisoners and
hurriedly driving TO and from scenes
Of trouble.
''ln fact they are policemen in ev-
cry sense of the word and are COM
PEELED to do duty as policemen when
ever occasion demands. But, in spite
OF this fact, and in view Of the addi-
tional dangers to which they are sub
jected. they are deprived OF the bene-
fits of the pension and retirement pro-
visions in force in the police depart
ment.
There is no good reason why such
a condition should exist. A majority
OF the patrol drivers have been in the
service of the department for many
years"

to do so.
Hundreds to Leave City.
The women who visited Marshal
OMeara yesterday were equally
divided between the two classes. b
far the greater majority of them
were alien women married to alien
subjects. whose departure from
this city took place some weeks
ago. Very few American women
who had married alien men were
included in the gathering. I'm
able to give the exact number of
German alien women living in the
District. Marshal O'Meara said they
were we'll up in the hundreds.
