To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY sage TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur Brings Back Its
Vigor. Color, Gloss and
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
q heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attract
iveness. BY darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because 1t
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft. brush
with 1t and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and. after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy. soft and
luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease-Adv.

HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, January 0, 1918.

During the busiest hours of this
day the planetary direction is not
strong. but early in the morning
Mars is in benefic aspect and Jupi-
ter is adverse. Late at night Nep-
tune is friendly.
1t is held that the conditions are
fortunate for the army. but that
the effects of the war will be
strongly felt from this date on.
Jupiter is in a place that is for
bidding to enterprise or speculation.
All the signs appear to indicate
marked changes in social customs
and in domestic affairs. Some OF
these will be radical and may at
first cause widespread criticism, the
seers declare.
Lawyers have a direction making
for new lines of activity that will
be exceedingly gainful to them.
Fame for the United States
through new inventions and novel
devices introduced into war activi-
ties is prophesied.
One of these inventions will star
tie the world in the spring. the
seers foretell.
AS a result of the world war,
American women are to achieve
supreme success in great interna
tional enterprises, astrologers say.
and they refer to government posi-
tions and appointments.
As children are to be of new i'm
portance in the valuation OF all the
warning peoples. it is prognosti-
Gated that teachers are to attain
high place in public esteem and to
receive financial reward commensu-
rate with their responsibilities.
As the Emperor of Austria has
the Moon between Mars and Saturn
in the mid-heaven Of his horoscope.
tragedy is presaged for him.
The Kaiser continues under a
sway of the stars that is threaten
ing to his health and his life.
Persons whose birthdate II Is
may expect a year in which changes
will be marked. They should be
careful of their money.
Children born on this day will be
daring, extravagant and clever, in
all probability. These subjects of
Capricorn succeed best when not
managing their own affairs.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALKS.
WOMEN ON JURIES.

One Of the unexpected by-products
of the war will be women Jurors
With so many men gone to the war
there Is a shortage of masculine tales
men, and in New York, where women
have recently been granted the fran-
chise, many of the judges are adyo-
eating the amendment Of the law To
permit the selection of women for iurv
duty.
Thus shall Justice be done In the
East as in the West, where the wom-
en- in the older suffrage States have
long served acceptably as Jurors.
IT has always been one of Iife's
little ironies that the conventional
statue of justice should be represented
by the figure of woman holding in
steady hands the scales of Justice. and
yet no woman be allowed to si, in
a jury box. Also that our common
law holds as its fundamental prin-
ciple the right of an accused person
to be tried by jury of his peers. vet
the accused woman was dentd the
right of a trial by her own sex,
Men juries have tried women in
spite of the fact that il is a matter
of common knowledge that no man
understands a woman, or can even
guess what she probably will do under
any given circumstances, or form any
idea of the motives that prompt her
to certain acts. or tell whether she
Is lying or speaking the truth.
Any fool of a woman can deceive the
cleverest man, but no woman is clever
enough to fool another woman. The
silliest little girl that ever lived knows
more about the psychology of women
than Prof. Munsterberg knew after
studying it for forty years.
This has made it a travesty OF jus-
tice for men juries to try women
and II explains why IL is
perfectly safe for any woman under
40 years Of age, who has a willowy
figure and a peaches and cream COM
plexion. and who can weep without
her nose getting red, to commit any
crime from arson to murder.
The man jury realizes that It is
with problem beyond its
ken. and SO it brings in a verdict OF
mot guilty" on the woman's looks. il
she is young and pretty, and on the
grounds of pity IL she Is old and ugly.

with a grin. and know he would say
nothing more about my spending the
check for my dividends in my own
way.
One. of the things, little book, that
we women must learn is not to nag.

and laugh while you say better luck

NAPLES TO HAVE GREAT
DRY DOCK AND SHIP YARD

Plans have been completed for the
construction of the greatest dry-doclx
in the Mediterranean, which will be
located in Naples Government DEGREES
have been signed which authorize the
construction of this dry.dock, and also
for the industrial port of Baia-Averno.
This plan is of gigantic nature, and
is another example of the wonderful
industrial awakening in Italy. Besides
the construction of the dry-docks, the
plans include the Transformation Of
the lake of Averno for the use of vast
ship-yards. the plans of which are al
ready under consideration. and which
will have the advantage of having a
large tract of land In the neighborhood
that will be dedicated strictly to in
dustrial purposes. Also, one of the
most daring measures OF the plan is
the construction of a canal OF com
munication between the lake and the
port OF Naples proper. and it's dry
docks. The estimated cost for the
work is 100000 lire. of which the
Government will pay in period cover
ing fifty years the sum of 22000,0eo
lire The plans are subject. amongst
others, to the condition that work will
be actually under way within six
months Of the official date of the decla-
ration OF peace. Also that IN so years
the entire works, docks. machinery.
etc. will automatically become Gov
eminent property.
