AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back h natural color and
Iustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make It at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle Of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
a possibly tell that you darkened
hair, as It does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft sbrush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

A OF GUY CANN.

Guy Cam, the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Kinney Cam, died Monday
morning at five o'clock after three
weeks of intense suffering. He had
an attack of pneumonia and com
plications set in and the little boy
was not able to stand the strain.
Some years ago he had fever
which settled in his spine and since
then he has not been able to walk
and it was necessary for his BROTH
ers to take him around places in a
rolling chair. He was a bright lit
tie fellow and wanted so much to be
like other children and enjoy their
games but with it all he was pa
tient. He was eve years old last
December, just at the age to start
to school and begin life. All was
done that could be to save him from
the suffering but it was not to be,
and the end came Monday.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at the home of his
parents and the interment was in
Melrose cemetery. Rev. j. N, Isom
conducted the services. His parents
and other members of the family
have the deep sympathy of the COM
munity.

ABOUT ABBEVILLE PEOPLE

We were interested in looking
through a decennial catalogue of
Erskine. In the class of 1854 there
were 16 members. Of these, Major
F. W. R. Nance of Abbeville is the
sole surviving member. All the other
names have a small "a" printed just
after each name. 1t is very interest
ing to glance through these pages
and to see where Erskine students
have scattered and the various &C.
equations they are filling. 1t is in
truth an honor roll. DR.. Kennedy
and his faculty are revising the last
decennial catalogue and hunting up
additional information.

COrncobs May Yield
Commercial Product
tBy rsis~s rv....,

New York. Nov. s6.-Utiiization OF
eorncobs for commercial purposes is
one Of the possihaitics OF peacetime
industry being Investigated By coa,
mcrcial men here.
Adsersive gum. cellu'cse. glucose
and alcohol are among the products
sfrrsdy obtained from cobs in expert
mcDts. Chemists OF the United States
Department OF Agriculture consider
The commercial possibilities opered
up by the experiments as very prom
ising.
Corncobs constitute an enormous
item Of waste In the great corn stater
OF the United States. They are used
In many western towns and rural com
muni,ics as fuel To some extent
they are ground with the corn tor
cattle feed. But mostl, they rot IN
great piles, or are burned to get them
out Of the way.
Glucose extracted from corncobs ~
OF excellent quality. chemists and. t
crystallizes readily. and Is believed 10
be fully as good for commercial pur-
poses as the glucose now made from
starch
Glucose is widely used In commerce
and industry.
For extraction OF alcohol from cori,-
cobs. sulphuric acid Is used. Practica
bilsty OF this feature OF corncob utilisa-
tion. therefore. would depend upon the
cost OF the acid.
