.DARkEk GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and 1ustre, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up q
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 uark
shade Of hair which is SO attractive. use
only this old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents by asking at any drug store for q So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
pht1r Compound" which darkens the
hair SO naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
It and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
-Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
ia a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

COFFEE INLAPLAND
Beverage Made in Peculiar Way
Pronounced Excellent. 4.
Sweetened in Primitive Manner, thS
Refreshment Is Passed Around
Among Guests After Host Has
Partaken of 1t.

An American consular officer In
Scandinavia gives the recipe for max
ing coffee among the Lapps, when
they are so fortunate as to have II
at all.
Dinner was eaten out Of doors, and
the one dish of the meal consisted Oh
roast Jennings, little creatures some
thing between a guinea pig and u
rat. and as the officer admits "e4-
quisitely peculiar" as to their naVor.
The party squatted in ring about
the fire, watching the roasts, all ex-
cept a wrinkled old woman, VINO as
an expert, was intent upon more te-
dious ceremony. Out of skin KNAPP
sack she had taken q small skin Dag.
From this she extracted some II green
coffee beans, which she proceeded TO
roast one by one in a small iron
spoon.
When they were cooked to her taste
she bruised them to coarse fragments
between stones and put the resul'
with water into a copper kettle, winch
had one lid in the usual place ano
another ON the end Of the spout &c
keep out smoke and feathery wooe
ash.
Then the whole mixture was boiiet
mn together into a bubbling froth o.
| coffee fragments and coffee extract
She cleaned 1t by an old trick whici
Is known to campers all the worit
over. This was to throw into tn
kettle a small splash Of cold water
when the coffee grounds were prompt
" precipitated to the bottom.
Then she poured the clear, brown
steamfng liquor into 9 blackene'
bowl of birch root and handed 1t q
the good man, her husband.
After he had taken the bowl In nj
fingers the woman hunted in leatnerl
knapsack and produced lump OF bee
sugar. The host bit fragment iron
II and lodged it in his teeth, thel
he lifted the bowl to his lips an
drank.
In n more civilized man this woul
of course have been rudeness; In
savage it was a simple act of courtesy
It was a plain assurance that the DO"
contained no poison. Then he hant
ed 1t on for his guests to drink
turn. and the American says that n
does not know that he ever taste
better coffee.

point In selecting stock Is to obtain
healthy animals that win mature quick
" and attain good size.
Guinea pigs require about the same
kind of accommodations as rabbits.
Two general methods Of managing
them have been advocated-courts and
houses. Also they require about the
same diet as rabbits. They eat ire
quently during the day, and should
have a constant supply of staple. dry
food. A pan Of water, piece Of rock
salt and q pan Of dry grain should be
constantly available.
The rearing of guinea pigs requires
no extraordinary knowledge and nc
great outlay of capital; little space Ii
needed to accommodate the animals
which are hardy and easily managed
They make Interesting pets and salts
factory food animals. The constantly
increasing demand for them in scien
ti1c' investigations and medical re
search insures a ready market for rea
sonable numbers at prices that shoult
be remuneratiye to the producer.

a divorce. He wouldn't even need to

WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

The arrival In this country not
long ago of Mrs. Adolphus Busch. the
multimillionaire widow Of st. Louis
who had been living in Germany for
several years, brought to light an in
teresting situation which, so far as
there is any record, has never before
actually existed In history. Although
Mrs. Busch, whose husband was the
famous brewer, Adolphus Busch, and
who is herself the "Anheuser" of the
widely known "Anheuser-Busch," is
really the richest widow In the world.
with more than $60.OO0O00 in money
and properties, yet her return to the
United States has revealed her as lit
orally woman without a country"
Technically, Mrs. Busch is citi-
zen of the United States. But part of
her vast estate, though, is In Germany
She owns castles, villas, stocks and
bonds and even part of great ammu'
milton plant in Prussia. So, when the
United States declared war upon Ger
many the Prussian government prom
