LADIES! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Brings Back Color, Gloss and Youth
fulness With Grandma's Recipe of
Sage and SULPHUR

Common garden sage breWed into a
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 improved
by the addition of other ingredients
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
darkening your hair with Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound no one
can tell because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a 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 requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

German submarines, the first of the
German fleet to surrender, were taken
over by the British thirty-siX miles
east Of Harwich this morning. The
transfer was without dem onstratlon.
The German crew sullenly obeyed
orders and tonight the U-boats lie
moored under the British flag near a
British submarine base.
During the surrender, American
seaplanes flew low overhead, while
American submarine chasers carried
British crews to the undersea boats.
From the time the leading sub
marine was sighted by the British
squadron of light cruisers and de

Tells HOU to Stop a
Bad Cough
Surprising results from this famous
old homemade syrup. Easily
prepared and costs little.

If you have severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing,
or if your child wakes up during the
night with Group and you want quick
help, try this reliable old home made
cough remedy: Any druggist can sup
ply you with 21s ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, in
stead of sugar syrup, if desired. This
recipe makes a pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. It tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of cough
in a way that means business. It loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, stops throat
tickle and soothes and heals the irritated
membranes that line the throat and bron-
chial tubes with such promptness, ease
and certainty that it is really aston
ishing.
Pinex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is probably the best known
means of overcoming severe coughs,
throat and chest colds.
There are many worthless limitations Of
this mixture To avoid disappointment,
ask for "21h ounces of Pinex" with full
directions and don't accept anything else.

ARE YOU BOUND FOR THE SCRAP
HEAP?

HEAP?
Let me save you from the scrap
heap:
Doctor, 1 am not sick, but I don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it You are not sicf4 enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
ficulties where there really are none.
Trifes worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
Of course. to a casual observer, you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind only. And if
it is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy,
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all
You are very much in the same
condition as Il delicately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he Will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
YOUR own hand at it, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.

been public spirited and one Of the
leaders in the work of organizing the

know that he has not been responsible
for the hide bound policy Of running
the company and in spite of all the
troubles with the company the major
ity of the citizens have been warm
friends of himself, and are glad that
he is getting this deserved promotion;
although they regret that it will take

Of spectators to. the Cooper building

a chance to see somebody killed, and
