GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called 'Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" 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 hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and not a medicine. It
IS not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention Of disease.

Anderson's report of trip into the
Buffalo Fork country contained, under

one bobcat. four coyotes and an Aire-
dale dog.
This dog. which probably wandered
Into the park from some farm or set
Element few miles over the border,
has been living in the Yellowstone In
a wild state for several years.
Whether or not he fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
Of young and weaker deer and elk, and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone,
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well-authenti.
Gated instances Of dogs thus returning
to savage nature. 1t speaks well for
his tenacity and strength that, alone
of his kind in country where all
kinds Of wild animals live still their
natural lives, he survived. He may
have been dog Of good pedigree.
Anyway, the dog had been seen at
intervals for several years and was
officially classed among the animals

mails, are sought and killed because

MAKES STEEL HEAL ITSELF
Remarkable Machine Designed and
Constructed in French Workshop
During the War.

One of the most remarkable ma
chimes ever built is in operation at the
great workshop in France, where the
Royal Flying corps repairs its damaged
airplanes. This machine, the only one
of its kind which was both conceived
and constructed in that workshop, is
described by Gustave Babin In ILLUS
tration as one that makes wounded
steel heal itself In exactly the same
way as wounded flesh heals.
It is almost automatic, is operated
by electricity and uses galvanism as
its principle. 1t needs only one or two
men to watch 1t, they being guided by
a chart, showing in many colors the
piece Of metal to be repaired, the eX-
act repairs necessary, the composition
Of the galvanic bath, the current need
cd, the diameter of the wires that con-
duct it and the time of immersion. All
this is worked out mathematically to
the minutest fraction and the machine
Goes the rest.
1t is used for restoring worn or
broken parts of delicate motors, most
of which are difficult to replace. When
" Babin saw it there were lying on
che table beside it parts it mad just
repaired that would have cost $4,000
and much time to replace. In the
previous week 1t had turned out 800
pieces, all of great importance, for
nothing less is confided TO it.

Use spIints of Wire NETTING.

A new kind of surgical splint In
nhich galvanized wire netting takes
he place of wood, has been put on
the market says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t has been tried and offers
many advantages. The steel entering
into the construction of this woven
wire splint is so tempered that it can
)e nodded by hand. Being galvanized,
the wire is steriliZed and at the same
time welded into single piece that
can not fray out at loose ends. As
the splint is porous, it allows a certain
amount of evaporation and air circula-
ton to the dressing beneath, which
wood or plaster does not. The splint

small and with quite dull edge and

brittle stalks. The other, called man.

short, slanting teeth, and is used on
the tall, well-grown grain fields.
Reaping with these simple nipple

ears drop off, but once the reapers
have advanced, they. actuated by al
most religious scruples, will not pick
up that which has been dropped, even
though they be severely poor them

According to information which

ment of internal affairs at Yelling
ton, the Trochus niloticus, common
ly found in Queensland and the
South Sea islands, does not occur in
New Zealand; but other shells which
are found in these waters might be
used in the manufacture of buttons,
especially the paua, Haliotis iris, and
the toitol, Ostraea sulcata. They are
not at present used for the manufac-
ture of buttons or for similar uses,
but both occur in great numbers on
rocky coasts near the low-tide mark,
the paua being much the commoner.
Since these shells have never been
sought for commercial purposes, there

tain Smith seems to be developing
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among the island people, who are
known as Chamorros and have a
strong admixture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration Of Washington's birthday in
Guam, to which the people fiocked
from all parts Of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence of any
island highway system. The proceeds
Of the various enterprises, amounting
to $1,270.55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the "hot dog" stand

ball game, $16.40. From all sources
the Red Cross received $500, and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 in
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect a uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory In
which such law has been made effec-
tive. There are 1000 ~militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
per cent Of Guam's population is in
the militia, at which rate, if We of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army of 100000.
