GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when 1t fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack OF sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and Thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which IL so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at. any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, 50 evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. You Just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It n draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears: but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound il that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention OF disease. :

From Frank D. Hoover

Somewhere in France. July 3
Mr.W.A Black, Mansfield, Mo.
Dear Friend: l guess you will
be somewhat surprised to hear
from me, but / just thought l
would drop you a line to let you
know that we are all getting a
long just fine. All the boys that
left the U. S. with my company
are still with it and all are get
ting along just fine. We received
our first papers last evening and
believe me the oldMansfield Mir.
ror certainly did look good to US
even though it was dated the last
of April, and We sat up most of
night reading the news from
home, and you can imagine the
homesick feeling we all had We
also got our first letters from
home last evening, and a letter
from Mansfield is worth twice
its wei4 ht in gold over here be.
cause we don't get letters very
often on account of US moving so
much OF the time. The last town
we were in before we came to
this on . sure was an interesting
place, as the Germans decided to
scare US a little by shooting a
few shells at the La Cathedrale,
or church RS we call it, and a few
pieces of sharpness fell close to
US from our antiaircraft guns
shooting at German airplanes.
We got to see a few aerial battles
and our antiaircraft guns were
shooting at airpianes almost ev
cry day or the German antiair
craft guns were firing on our
planes, so yon can imagine about
how we enjoyed it all. We have
been on the move most of the
time since we landed. We trav.
eled across England and across
France about twice, so you see
we are seeing new sights every
day, and we are also learning 10
speak a few French phrases, but
hope that l don't have to stay ov-
err here until | learn the French
language. l suppose you are all
planning on a big time tomorrow
July 1: would like to be there
very much but l guess l will
spend the day on top of one of
the mountains with Is or 2Owag.
ons getting wood for the Regi
ment. =. l think that when we all
get back home that we will have
a soldiers reunion every year at
Mansfield for the members of the
Supply Co. and we may give our
first one next year. Will have to
close and go to work, hoping to
hear from you soon.
Your friend,
Sergeant FIR nix D Hoover.

LEGENDS OF IRELAND
DR.. DUNN'S SUBJECT
Poetry of Erin's Old Tales Praised
to Gaelic Society.

EARLY Christian Legends of Ire
land" was the subject discussed by
Dr. Joseph Dunn, professor OF Celtic
languages at Catholic University. be-
fore the Gaelic Society at its regular
monthly meeting at Hickman Studio,
1340 New York avenue.
DIR. Dunn told OF the wealth of ira
ditions which grew up about the early
Irish saints. and showed the important
role they played in keeping alive the
faith by moving and charming mill
lions and reaching. as no other form
OF appeal could. the hearts OF the
natives who were at that time very
rude and illiterate. BY reason OF their
natural poetic imaginations they were
particularly susceptible to the won
derful dramatic power OF these storied
legends.
Old Gaelic airs were played by the
Misses katherine and Elizabeth Nc
Cormick upon the harp and violin.
Rev. Hugh S. Gallagher sang several
Irish numbers, and though the words
were unintelligible to the audience,
the sweetness and melody of the songs
won enthusiastic applause.
