LADIES!
DARKEN YOUR
GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand
mothers recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur and nobody
will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's s
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old prepara-
ton, improved by the addition of 9TH
er ingredients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this thru your hair. taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another applica-
tion or two, it becomes beautifully dark
and glossy.

The division commander takes
great pleasure in citing in general or

ing the counter-attack.
First Lieut.. Cecil E. Tolle, medical
corps. Three successive days, at the
most advanced dressing station at the
right of the divisional sector, he rem
dered first aid to approximately two
hundred and fifty men and redressed
at least that many more. Notwith-
standing his advanced position not one
wounded man was hurt around his
station. He saw to it that shelter was

dugouts, raided enemy quarters for
blankets and food and took excellent
care of the wounded.

Straight Hair Made
Curly While You Sleep

BY an entirely new and harmless metu-
cd, the straightest hair can now be maize
beautifully curly while you sleep" Not
that the sleeping has anything to do with
1t. except to prevent loss of any of your
precious time while the process is at WORK.
You simply apply n little liquid silmerine
to the nair, using a clean tooth brush for
the purpose. This 1t seems has the prop
erty of causing the hair to dry with a
delightful wavy effect, as will be quite
apparent in the morning.
The effect lasts considerably longer than
where a hot iron is used. and the curli-
ness appears far more natural. If you'll
get n few ounces of the liquid silmerine
from your druggist you will have enoue h
to keep the hair in curl for many weeks.
This, by the way, is excellent also as a
dressing for the hair, keeping 1t bright
and lustrous. 1t Is neither sticky nor
greasy.-Advertisemen

Early last Thursday morning the
British destroyers Botha and Morris
and the French destroyers Capitaine

trolling the eastern waters of the

enemy ships bonn barding the coast of
Dunkirk. They fred star shells

The destroyers started in pursuit
Of the Germans in a northwesterly
direction and discovered eventually
that the enemy ships were making

sued, according to the stories of eye
witnesses.

yards. There was an explosion in
the enemy vessel and she sank i'm
mediately.
Meanwhile the Botha had beer
