COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN II
It's Grandmother's Recipe 10
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb 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
beautifully darkening the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is SO attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful ap-
pearance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

All citizens are requested to make
it their special duty to see that the
cemetery gates are kept closed both
day and night. It is an objectionable
carelessness to leave the gates at
beautiful Greenwood open for the
free passing of cattle, hogs and dogs,
which play havoc with tse shrubs and

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE. July 25-The picture which
portrays the British soldier as contin-
ually vocal while he tramps along the
roads of France, is ovedrawn.
The peridd Of modern intensive
training in England somehow has n
curbing effect on the marching song.
When the men first join the service,
marches are short and equipment
light.
In those days they seldom march in
silence. But as the marches grow long
er and the packs heavier, their songs
become proportionately shorter. BY
the time they begin marching in
France with full equipment, songs
have become the exception rather
than the rule.
A fifteen-mile march along the cob
bled highways of Northern France
with full kit and 12O rounds of am
munition leaves little breath for sing
ing. Whistling requires less exer-
tion, and mouth organ is very pop
ular, but brass band is the ideal
accompaniment to a long march. 1t
sets an even rythmical step which is
the secret of endurance
II the soldier cannot spare the
breath to sing when on the march. he
makes up for 1t at other times. and
concerts are the most popular form
of recreation behind the lines.

BRITISH WOMEN
MAKE MUNITIONS
FOR LOW WAGES
Few Workers In Factories
Earn More Than $40 The
Week; All Are Efficient
Workers. ht

MANCHESTER, Eng, June IL
Correspondence Of The Associated
Press)-The women of England are
making the shells with which the Brit
ish army is beating back the enemy,
and are doing the work at an average
pay equivalent to $40 week.
The managing director of big nav.
al construction works here Is unable
to employ domestic servants because
all the women formerly employed as
servants have gone to work in shell
factories.
When the factory men were called
to the colors, women quietly stepped
into their places The vast majority
of the women had neither skill nor
training in munitions work, but the
factory engineers by installing what is
known as single-prOcess machines
made it possible for the women to do
the complicated work that previous.
ly only skilled men had been able to
accomplish.
In week or ten days a woman
learns how to operate single.process
machine. She does her work efficient.
ly and faithfully. Recently in one fac.
tory the women made $1,000 four and
inch shells in eighteen weeks and
not flaw could be found in any shell.
Many of the women workers before
the war were operatives in plants for
textile manufacture, the chief industry
in this region. In peace time their
wages averaged about the equivalent
of five dollars week. Now the aver.
age is well over ten dollars and, in
exceptional cases, fifteen and more.
In some factories women work three
shifts of eight hours each, rotating
each week. Their employers say that
they are not affected by the strain Of
night work. A large number OF the
women are doing the hardest kind of
manual work.
Piece work is the system used in
most of the shell factories, and the
managers say that the introduction
of piece work increased the output to
an amazing degree.
Women" one of the managers com.
mented, "are more competitive than
men workers. Men will work up to a.
certain point and stop, either because
they are Indifferent and easily salts.
fled with the amount Of their earnings
or because their mates would protest.
On the other hand, women do not
seem to care what their mates think
or say. Each is out for herself"
He pointed to a machine where a
girl was working at a great rate OF
speed. "That young woman" he went
on, doubtless wants new ribbon for
her hair, and she is going to make the
shop pay for it,"
The minimum wage paid to women
in shell factories where the piecework
system is in effect is about $3.50
week, but unless girl proves her
self capable of making at least 50 q
week she is not regarded as a good
worker 1t is not uncommon for
particularly intelligent. and energetic
woman to draw each week from SIT
to 500.

Pottery the Oldest Art.

Pottery Is the oldest. the longest and
most widely diffused of all human arts.
Its history, If recorded, would be rs
old as the history Of man; it's record.
ed history begins with the building OF
the tower Of Babel. The oldest pot.
terry known Is Egyptian, but every peo-
pie. civilized or barbarian, has prac.
ticed the art in one or another form.
All study la every department of art
bcgins at a period not long after the
Mosaic delugc. but pottery is the
earliest OF all forms Of art.
Combs.
Combs have been used in the toilet
since very ancient times. The Greeks,
the Egyptian and the Roman ladies'
used them to arrange and hold up their
hair; even ladies among the Swiss lake
dweliers seem to have been familiar
with them. Some of these were made
of weod. some of bone. Of horn or of
ivory. Specimens have often been
found In recent years.
