Home to Saw Goodbye.

-
Many of the boys from this sec.
ton in training at Camp Beaure-
gard were permitted to come home
last Sunday for a farewell visit to
their folks, it being understood that
the seth Division, which has been
undergoing intensive schooling at
the camp for the past ten months
will soon leave for port of embark
alton for overseas service. While no
definite information has been given
out on the subject, the impression
prevails, not only among the troops,
but also among the civilian popula-
ton, that the soldiers will begin NOV
ing in the very near future, and that
the departures will continue until the
entire division has set forth on the
road to Berlin.

{: Deal err.


There are numerous lquiries re-
garding the new equations govern
ing dealers in eggs. Briefly these
proyide that retail merchants,
whether they buy from or trade with
the farmers, sell eggs wholesale or
sby retail dealers others than to con-
sumers, are subject to license. APP
5plications for license should be made
at once to the License Division, y. s.
Food Administration, Washington,
b. C. If sales are confined strictly
to consumers no license is required
unless the merchant is in the hun,
dred thousand class. All eggs sold
BY retail dealers others than con-
sumers must be candled, and an egg
candled certificate placed in each
case. The Food Administration does
not furnish the certificates, but the
model it suggests emphasizes the doc
trine Of making every egg count, and
saving the millions Of food and
money annually wasted heretofore.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
infiames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take three of Chamberlain S
Tablets. They will tone up your
liver, clean out your stomach and
YOU will soon be as well as ever. They

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's oRANpMoTHER's RECIPE TO
BRING BACK COLOR AND
lU9TRE TO HAIR.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars >the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked. just an
application or two OF Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition Of other ingred-
tents for so cents a large bottle. all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
;an always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and 1ustre Of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
crush with it and draw thru the hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair has disappeared,
and after another application it be-
comes beautifully dark and appears
glossy and lustrous. This ready-to-
use preparation Is a delightful toilet
requisite for those who desire dark
hair and youthful appearance. It Is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.
