She Made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,

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, remove every bit of dandruff. stop scalp itching and falling hair Just few applications will prove a revelation if, your hair is fading, gray or dry. scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic. cost ing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid ing lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally. so evenly. You just dampen a 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, and, after another appli- cation or two, your hair becomes beau tifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. -AdVi

BRITISHERS ARE
EAGER FOR CAME.
Bat Replace Walking Stick
Hyde Park-England Seek
ing Boxing Instructors

London, June 10-Walking sticks
will be replaced by baseball bats in
Hyde Park after July 4, on which
date King George and official London
join with the Americans in an indie
pendenee Day celebration and watch
a ball game between the army and
navy headquarters teams at Chelsea
Field.
The famous Hyde Park, which has
been known throughout the world as
fashionable promenade, will be-
come a centre of sports where the
young men of England can keep in
physical trim. 1t has never been
opened to sports before.
Large crowds have been attending
the Army-Navy games here, which
have been affording the Britishers
their first opportunity to judge the
merits of the American game. The
popular verdict was favorable, and
baseball is practically assured of a
foothold in England.
England wants some of the clean
est and best American champions and
near champion boxers now training
the American soldiers in the various
camps to cross the ocean and help
entertain the doughboys and officers
in England.
Americans, and Englishmen as well,
who are waking up to the crying need
for clean sports and the entertain
ment of the Yankees in London and
nearby camps, need some headliners
around which they can build the con-
templated competitions which they
hope to give our boys.
The projected events already are
being discussed throughout England
and the idea is held that eventually
they may branch out into periodical
International contests.
The past fights have been well
matched, the boxers making up by
slugging for their lack of science. The
heavyweight title will be at stake thi,
Wednesday.
