Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will tun orav. streaked and faded hair Beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just Ia few applications will prove a revela- |tion if vour hair is fading, streaked or grav. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, IS trou- blesome. An easier way is to get a |bottle of Wyeth's 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- grediants.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking enc small strand at a time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes, beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luXuriant.

Year of Christ's Birth.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the Anna Urbis Copditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian. calling 1t "the Era of the
Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made a calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed at 753 A. U. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 1853 B. @. AT the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
torical blunder. But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
ars to determine, without much pos
sibillty of doubt. the exact year of the
birth of Jesus and to place 1t at what
we call b. c.

Bowser Is
At Peace
Maybe He Won't
Kick Again
ssssssssssssss . . 9 . . . . . . 8
Copyright. 1917. by the Mcclure Newsra-
per Syndicatel

Mr.. Bowser got out of bed on Mon
day morning, after his third call to
breakfast, and proceeded to dress.
When he reached as far as his socks
they were not In sight. He did not
rush to the hall and call for Mrs. Bow
ser to come up on the gallop and ex-
plain matters. He looked around him
until he found one of them on his foot
and the other crushed into his shoe.
He had trouble in finding his collar and
necktie, and his watch had somehow
worked under his dresser, but he didn't
make kick-not a single kick. He
ate breakfast without kick and, as
he walked up the street on his way to
the office, he smiled blandly at an old
horse limping down the street
Mr.. Bowser didn't kick when he
came home. He didn't kick through
out the evening. He was as peaceful
as pumpkin growing under the July
sun.
Tuesday morning he had the same
difficulty in finding his clothes to dress.
One shoe had gotten into the closet,
where he had thrown it during the
night at gnawing mouse, and 1t took
ten minutes tc remember it. The but
ton had come out of his shirt collar
and it took ten minutes more to find
1t asleep in bed. Not one kick. Not
one swear word. Mrs. Bowser limited
that they would soon need more coal
for the kitchen range. but that did not
disturb Mr.. Bowser's placidity In the
least
And, walking up to the corner, he
shook hands with three or four men
whom he hardly knew and told an old
woman that the war would soon be
over and everybody would be rich. If
a lonely old mule had come along and
prayed In Mr.. Bowser's ear he would
not have raised riot.
Tuesday evening at dinner Mrs. Bow
ser timidly mentioned that she wanted
to do some house cleaning next day,
and that she would get up in the morn
Ing an hour earlier to do so. She held
her breath waiting for Mr.. Bowser to
say that he would stay home from the
office and put in the day with her,
and, of course, that would have spoiled
the whole thing, but he didn't say any
thing of the kind. What he did say
was, that If she wanted any help she
could employ it and he hoped she
wouldn't tire herself out working too
hard. Mr.. Bowser got up Wednesday
morning as early as Mrs. Bowser did,
but he didn't take hold and sling rugs
and chairs about. He simply sat down,
and read his morning paper, much to
the establishment of the cook, who men
toned to Mrs. Bowser that something
was surely going to happen. She was
mistaken, however. Not even frown
appeared on Mr.. Bowser's face. When
he came home in the evening. he found
everything as 1t should be, and made
The Elbert County tribune. [volume] (Elbert, Elbert County, Colo.) 18??-1920, 1918-02-01

At noon he came home, saying that
he would take half a day off. Gracious
but how he could upset that house In
half day. Mrs. Bowser trembled
as he entered the hall, but 1t was a
false alarm. There had been no change
In MIR. Bowser. He sat around for
while, and then started for a walk.
all by his lonely. He came back with
a bouquet, which he had gathered on
some vacant lots, and sat down to a
book which he did not lay down until
notified that his dinner was ready. He
was not Mr.. Bowset, but some other
Bowser. He was an intruder. He had
commenced things all over and Mrs.
Bowser could not say that she was
any better satisfied with the new state
of things than with the old. The old
Bowser had frequent explosions; the
new Bowser was too peaceful and
placid and bland. Would the Bowser
return in a day or two? She found
herself hoping SO. and so did the cat
and crickets on the hearth.
