SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, strcaked locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, inn proved by the addition of other in gredients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray! Try it, No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plcation or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease

ETHEL BARRYMORE
 LAUGH PROVOKER

1 Full of Iaughs-those good old spontaneous laughs that act like a
 tonic on the human system; that
 sums up in word, 'The American
 Widow" which is showing at Fox's
 today. Ethel Barrymore, the charm
 ing star, is at her best, and with the , advantage of one of the greatest comedy plots that has been presented in many a day, it is little wonder that she took the Fox audience by storm yesterday. The story is that of Betsy, whose late husband left her encum- bered by a will which forbade her taking anything but an American for a second husband. Far-sighted Betsy, who has fallen in love with titled Englishman, conceives the idea of de- feating the will by marrying an American for q second husband, but immediately divorcing him, and mar-
 rying her Earl for 8 third. as the
 literal meaning of the will had made
 no reference to the nationality of anything but her second. She reck-
 oned, however, without a full know
 ledge of the circumstances, and gets
 herself into the prettiest mix-up inn aginable Lots of credit for the suc-
 cess of the comedy belongs to Irving
 Cummings, that popular screen star who is in her supporting company.
 An extra added attraction on the pro-
 gram is "The Feudists," a splitting
 comedy about a "spite-fence," which
 brings back those superlatively popu-
 lar comics, John Bunny and Flora
 Finch. The semi-final episode of "The Red Ace" is among the other sub jects shown. The management takes
 pride in announcing as the star Of the
 Friday and Saturday attraction, beau
 tifuI Jewel Carmen, whose perfection
 of feature and form have earned for
 her the significant title "the Cameo
 girl" Miss Carmen will be remem- bered as William Farnum's leading woman in The Tale of Two Cities" and, more recently, "The Conqueror" and When a Man Sees Red.' At the request of her ardent admirers from all over the world, MT. Fox has de- cided to make star of her, and this
 week she will be seen here in her frst starring vehicle, The Kingdom or
 Love- Although one would not guess
 it from the title, it is an absorbing
 and exciting drama of the Arcuc

 Another to keep wrapping paper 1 in, and another for boxes. I hope also that I shall be able to , have a good sized clothes closet down l stairs, with a window in it, and a I special cupboard for rubbers Moth CTS who have such a closet tell me l that it saves infinite clutter. A Shirt Waist Closet Of course I want a linen closet and a woman who has recently built tells mo that the thing she enjoys almost the most in her new house is a lit tie cupboard over the linen closet, built for her slirtwaists. It is about three feet high, three feet wide and
 five feet long. Through the center runs a pole on which she hangs her shirtwaists on hangers. It keeps the shirtwaists infinitely better than a shirtwaist box or drawer. and saves so
 much room in one regular closet. Men have been building our houses for centuries to suit themselves. Surely it is high time that with all the other rights, we claim the right to have the factory in which woman S work is done built to facilitate that work.

WHY WE'RE AT WAR
 ANSWERED BY MARY

Do you want to know why practi- cally the entire world, with tho ex- ception of her allies are lined up against Germany in pitiless warfare; why every civilized organ of pubic opinion has arisen against the half crazed ruler of that country; why America is taking the trouble and gO- ing to the expense of sending great armies of men across the water to help in the titanic struggle; Why kaiserism has become synonomous with deSpotism Do you want to know the answers, the true answers to these and hundreds of other que>- tons that have arisen out of the ruins of Europe"
 Well, it is possible to obtain these answers and to learn the reason for these countries going at each other $ threats like madmen of old, and no clearer nor more enlightening answer is possible, than that presented by Mary Pickford, the sweetest flower that ever grew in the garden of film stars, through the medium of her lat est and most successful offering, "The Little American," which comes to tue Lyceum theater for three days stay.
 People have wondered why Mary has not appeared in this city of late in her popular offerings and the an- swer is, expense. Tn order to get T Pickford picture to New Britain the theater is obliged to pay heavily, but rather than let a litle thing like that stand between the pnblics desire and their fulfillment, the Lyceum man. agement decided to cast the item aside and let the public have what it wants, regardless of the expense. And at no increased cost to the public. This wonder-o offering, this super patriotic, spectacular masterpiece, at the price you pay to see q. common, ordinary offering. That is what the Lyceum of fers. DO you realize what it means? Then take advantage.
