the best raw materials can be secur-

Below is a list of fruit pits and
nut shells to be collected. Most of
these materials are now going to
waste. When it is realized that
these waste materials will save the
lives of American soldiers, every eff

more go to waste.
The people of South Carolina are
urged to save the following for the
use of the army: peach stones, or

pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry

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

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 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 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
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft Sbrush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

LESLIE M. SWOPE WRITES
THE PRESS & BANNER FORCE
2502 Park Ave-,

Richmond, Va, Sept. 28.
Col. Greene, Boss Carrie Cochran,
Bullshoeviki Hinson, Devil Thorn
ton,-and the new Editor:
Dear Press and Bannerites:
Amidst the whirl and roar of Abb
beville, 1 know it is an imposition to
distract your attention from Kerr
and Edison's latest letter to Cousin
Percy to myself and my little wor-
ries, but will do so, nevertheless.
I feel sorry for Mr.. Greene, now
that I am gone. 1t is not every en-
ployee who will leave his employer
with the books showing deposits
greater than income. And, no doubt,
marriages in Abbeville county have
slumped off dreadfully, brilliant write
ups a la Reggie Kay variety being
removed from the realms of possibil-
ity. The new editor, indeed, has a
hard pair of shoes to fill (No. 81
broad -last.) He has my sympathy.
When I left Abbeville, I was a
little disappointed that none of the
girls gave me that promised box of
cigars. Anyway, I didn't sneak away
in the night because I stole any. In
fact, I left at two A. M, not because
I wanted to, and I bought some El
Roy Tans of Steve. You see, I had
to stay awake until then. So Lwent
over to Son Kerr's until eleven and
then sat by Mr.. Stark's fire until it
went out and they stopped feeding
me. This was twelve and I had two
hours to wait. Luckily, Paul came
back from Pickens Street about
twelve thirty A. M, and thereafter
he kept me some company.
Our train made wonderful time
until we got past Petersburg. Then
the conductor suddenly remembered
that it is against the rules Of the
S. A. L. to get anywhere on time.
So he stopped the train and backed
all the way back to Petersburg. The
excuse was that a couple of freight
ers were across the track. Well, it

SAVE PEACH STONES
TO MAKE GAS MASKS

Every citizen of South Carolina
has an opportunity to aid the gov
ernment in its fight against Prussian-
ism. A great campaign has been
launched to procure materials with
which to combat German poison gas.
One of the essentials in the gas
mask designed to protect American
soldiers from poison gas is carbon.
AS the quality of the carbon deter
mines in a large measure the effici-
ency of the gas mask, it is important
that every effort be made to procure
these materials from which the best
carbon can be procured.
There is serious shortage of the
best raw materials and the cooper

was three hours before that train
started. By that time, the symphony
concerto in H-Major, rendered by
four babies in the coach, had so
knocked Paul and myself out that
we both fell asleep. We slept to
Richmond: we slept through Rich
mond: we slept out of Richmond.
When the conductor came around
for more fares, we suddenly decided
we had better get off. They escorted
US to the door somewhere out in
the dark" and we walked the track
back to Virginia's capitol, arriving
a little after midnight. Paul still
had enough strength left to want to
get something to eat.
The first day in this big city was
crowded with thrills. I started down
the street saying a word of cheer to
everybody I saw and tipping my hat.
But when Main Street was reached
and people began flying past sixteen
abreast and twenty deep, when a
stylishly dressed lady peeped out
from under camoufaged young
ostrich and proved to be Hamish in
color, and when Paul got so morti-
fed that he pulled my coat tails,
remembered that it was not Able
vile and put on city ways. Indeed,
l nearly committed a great mistake
once. A lady, her beautiful daugh-
ter, and an elderly officer stopped
their limousine by the curb. Imme-
diately recognizing them as strang-
ers, I pulled out my little notebook
and rushed up to ask them if they
were stopping at the Eureka Hotel.
But the matron turned a broadside
of torgnettes on me and the cruel
girl looked the other way. So once
more I realized that I was in the
heart of city that has no heart.
There is fakir in town, a. curious
fellow who claims to be able to work

composed while sitting under an
old oak tree, in my old home in
South Carolina.)
Loved oak! beneath thy pencile
boughs,
l love to sit in the twilight hours,
Where naught but Venus sparkling
eye,
Views my lonely reverie.
'Tis here dream of happy hours
Sweet memory oft reviving,
Like the ivy round thy aged trunk,
It's evergreen entwining.
And oft as through thy foliage green
Soft breezes gently murmur
Their voices seem to mingle cen
With one I well remember.
With one, whose name my earliest

Of love, so fondly cherished,
But ah, alas! like all those scenes
To me alike have perished.
