SAGE AND SULPHUR

It's Grandmother's Recipe TO
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 20 the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle Of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition OF other in
gradients. at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t 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 time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requieite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not in

ROUMANIA'S PLIGHT
PICTURED AS AWFUL
GARDEN COUNTRY OF WORLD
NOW BARREN AND DESOLATE.
HORSES DIE OF STARVATION.

Roumania is a desolate and barren
country today-an awful object les
son of the cost of war Two years
ago it was one of the garden coun-
tries of the world, teeming with agri-
cultural wealth and prosperity. More
than 100000 Russian soldiers lived
in it and on it for nearly a year, and
they left very little behind them.
Anyone who has known Roumania
as she was when peace was forced
upon her by the Central powers must
be convinced that it will be years be-
fore Germany can draw from her
fields and orchards much tribute.
Not Much Benefit to Germans.
Nor is the German control of Rou-
mania's petroleum production likely
to be a very profitable investment for
some time. In the so-called occupied
territories the destruction of the oil
fields was so complete that Germany,
after Is months effort, is able to
measure her supplies from this source
in quarts.
In the rest of Roumania it is doubt
full if production can be much in
creased beyond that of the past year,
and during the past year petroleum
has been one of the scarcest articles
in the country, obtainable only I'M
der personal and special license from
the government.
During the middle of the winter
the Associated Press correspondent
made a tour of inspection around
perhaps a score of frontier towns,
where the largest proportion of refu-
gee population had been dumped in
the hurried retreat before the Ger
man hosts. Conditions were serious
beyond description, but the major
part of the suffering was due to fam
inc rather than exposure.
Refugees Eating Grass.
The shortage of food was such
that in many instances refugees were
seen in the fields eating-or attempt
ing to eat-grass.
Terrible as was the plight of the
people of these refugee districts in
war time, they can hope for little al
deviation with the coming of forced
peace. Practically no harvests can be
expected this year in these districts,
for no seed will be available, and
moreover, there are no agricultural
implements left, or any horses or
draft animals of any kind. Thousands
of Roumanian horses died of starva-
ton during the winter, for the peas
ants were too exhausted in caring
for their own needs to make any at
tempt to provide for their beasts.
In France the horses would have
been put to good use as meat for
human food, but the Roumanian
peasant has an adherence of horse
flesh as meat
Horses for slaughter were sold in
Vienna market at the unprecedented
price of 1915 to $500 each.
