WITH AN IRON CROSS NEXT
[BIuffton Evening Banner. !


The Evening Banner Is mighty sorry
to see the clothing firm OF Solinger &
McKirnan quit business In Bluffton and
there will be mighty host of people In
this county OF the same mind. Ben
Solinger has been with us a long time,
and has lots Of friends. For many years
he was one Of the city's chief boosters,
and could always be counted on to do
his bit. When he went to Detroit few
months ago, 1t was thought some dav h !.
might come back and again take up the
burdens of life with us. With the sale
OF the stock, this wish is practically gone
glimmering. When he left he took in
as his partner Ed McKirnan, who had
clerkei for him some years, and a finer
boy does not live anywhere. Eddie"
has host of friends, is clothing man
who knows his business and has kept the
store up to its standard since Mr.. Solin-
ger left. Ed comes in the draft and Is
going to do his bit for Uncle Sam. This
is the only rea on for the firm going out
Of business in Bluffton. It's purely
case of the war and nothing else. After
Ed has gone through the sorrows and
successes of the war 1t is hoped he may
return to Bluffton where he Is surely
appreciated and respected.

LADIES' SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring back color, gloss and youthful
ness with Grandma'S recipe Of
Sage and Sulphur.

Common garden sage brewed into Il
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready -to-use preparation i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients a large bottle, at little cost,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractivenesS. By
darlIenihg your hair with Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
~, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requl-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Operations of the week reveal
that the enemy. taking advantage of
the re-entering angles stretching
from the Avre northward and from
Wytschate to Dranoutre, has re-
sumed operations after q period Of
re,ative calm.
1T is not difficult to follow the

higher command. An envelopins
movement is outlined which on the
che hand is to force the retirement
Of the British from Arras, and. if
holly successful, result in the cap

the other by the occupation of the
important heights of KENNEL, to

THE Germans are relying princi-

DE FOREST NAMED
 CHINGOS' COUNSEL

There are several murder cases pending which will be carried over to the next term of the Criminal Supe- rior Court. In the case of John Chin gos, of Danbury, accused of the mur- der of Abdullah Khougan, Public De- fender DeForest has been named counsel for Chingos. Judge N. C.. Downs, who accepted retainer from friends of the accused but failed to prepare the case, has been eliminated from it by Judge Kellogg.
 In the case of Farnandi Jaudati, accused of killing his father-in-law, Ernesto' Pompo of Stamford, last March, DeForest has also been named counsel, with Albert Phillips, former secretary of state, to assist. Laudati was represented by William Hickey of Stamford, who is now in the United States service. It is expected both of these cases will be disposed of at the May term of court
 With probable adjournment of court tomorrow the term will have taken eight court days. This is almost a record considering the number of eases disposed of.
