FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by lack OF
sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother made up a mixture of Sage
Tea ana Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful, and thousands
of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied.
You just 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; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after
a few applications. it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
it an appearance of abundance,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

sector, General Pershing's men pen
etrated to the second German line in
a raid Tuesday. Casualties were in
flicted on the enemy by shell and
rifle fire.
The raids in this sector began
Saturday and probably are in an
swer to German activities which had
Indicated the enemy was preparing
for n movement against the Ameri-
can lines. The artillery activity on
this sector has been most intense,
the American gunners causing fires
and explosions behind the enemy
lines.
The American troops east of
Luneville in Lorraine, which places
them very near the Franco-German
border, went into the German po-
sitions Monday and found that the
enemy had not yet returned to the
trenches he evacuated the day be-
fore. Despite German artillery fire
against them the raiders came back
to their own lines without a casu-
atty.
On the line between Armentieres
and La Bassee, which has not
changed in eighteen months, the Ger
mans continue their powerful raids.
Their latest effort was made against
Portuguese positions near Laventie.
The Germans were checked by ma
chine gun fire which caused heavy
casualties and left prisoners in the
hands of the Portuguese. British
troops repulsed small raids in the
Ypres area, where the enemy ar
tillery fire is intense. On the French
front the bombardment has been
most violent in Champagne, especi-
ally east of Rheims.
In aerial fighting French and
British machines have accounted for
twenty-one enemy airplanes, while
French gunners have destroyed three
others. In addition to attacking mill
itary targets close behind the Ger
man lines, British airmen have
bombed the city of Coblenz, on the
Rhine, in daylight. A ton of bombs
was dropped, causing two fires and q
violent explosion.
