instantaneous, only one application OF

b. Corney, prison physician at
Tucker, pronounced Daffron dead
Daftron left no statement.
1t was o'clock when Captain John
I. Burkett, accompanied Gy prison
officials, entered the death cell to
read the death warrant. Father
Steinart was with the condemned
man. Daffron listened unconcerned-
ly to the reading of tile warrant.
When he had finished reading the
mandate of the court, Captain Burkett
informed Daffron that it was time to
go' to the chair. Daffron rose, put
on his hat and left the room, accom-
panied by the prison Official
To persons who saw him during
the night and the early morning
Daffron expressed himself as salts
fled to die. He was received into tho
Catholic church and received the last
rites of the faith at the hands of his
spiritual adviser, Father Steinart.
Datfron was convicted of the muir
der of A. ID. Boatner, one of the food
administrators of Polk county, who
called at the naffron home last April
to ask Daffron and his brother to
sign conservation pledge card. In
an alteration Daffron shot Boatner.

the Americans were SLOW in coming

Cleanliness in Bread Making.

Cleanliness is important in all
forms of cookery. but important
for several reasons in bread
making. Bread almost always
contains bacteria, and these are
likely TO produce in dough sub
stances which spoil the flavor of
the bread. Yeast has no flavor
which survives the cooking, ana
the substances which II pro-
duccs, carbon dioXidc and aIco-
hol are driven off by the heat
Of the oven. Bacteria, on the
other hand, are likely 10 pro-
duce sour or rancid substances
which are not removed by bak-
ing.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to bring back color,
gloss and youthfulneSs.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get
bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While Wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. 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
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 application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is n delightful tot
lot requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.
