Whenever her hair took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. By asking at any drug

Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients. all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that

dampen a comb or soft brush, and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at "a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in

by the Germans on the Marne refuse
to disclose IA single syllable of infor-
nation to their eaptef@, according to
an official document found ON a Ger
man prisoner caught yesterday. The
document pays high praise to the
physical sturdiness and patriotic
spirit OF the American soldiers.
The document Is the first Official
news from Germany confirming the
stoicism of American prisoners. 1t
shows that the German military lead
ers consider the Americans a forTnid-
able foe.
In addition to rehearsing the
method of our attacks on the Marine,
the document says:
1.-THE Americans captured show
high morale, dash and fearlessness.
They are intrepid, and their nerve Is
not yet shaken. They came from
good division. =
with a little more experience they
will make dangerous attacking
troops"
The document says further that the
Americans physical average Is high.
They are well built. ranging from
eighteen to twenty eight years OF age.
Their bearing Is alert and their spirit
is fresh. naive and confident char
acteristic utterance Is that of one OF
the American prisoners:
