FEW FOLKS

Eell-knOwn local druggist says
everybody is using old-time

Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when 1t fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother .--ade
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 'eauti-
full dark shade of hair which is 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 bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally. so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this thru
your hair. taking one small strand at
a time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears: but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applica-
tons. it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.

RUSSIA NO HELP TO HUNS
Conception of Country as Source of
Supply Ludicrous, Says Editor.

The Scientific American has the fol.
lowing to say of food conditions ir
Russia: $50 long as we speak in
general terms, Russia as a source OF
supplies for Germany appears formid-
able indeed; but when we descend to
details, and particularly as to just
what supplies the Boche is to get
from Russia, and how he is to get
them, we discern a great light.
SIS it food that is to be supplied by
the republic? We think not. The
summer just past has not been a
season of hard labor in Russia; her
workers have been working in the
same way that her fighters have been
fighting-with fine phrases. All men
of all factions have been too busy
with talking to pay much attention
to the sordid details of work. Even
now the Bolshevik cry for bread, and
whence is it to come? Already the
food situation in Moscow and Petro-
grad is reported as desperate. Hun
CRY already, Russia will be hungrier
before she is fed, and the thought of
Germany drawing sustenance from
her is a ludicrous one.
"But, persists the calamity bowler,
think of all the other resources of
Russia! Germany can come in and
help herself to coal and iron and
petroleum and platinum and copper
and all the other things of which she
has such need. Again we beg to diff
fer. Until coal and oil and metals
are able to take legs unto themselves
and walk from the Urals and the
Caspian to the Rhine, Germany will
do nothing of the sort. 1t takes rail-
roads to move all these things-rail-
roads with tracks and rolling stock,
and above all, locomotives in good
shape. The fact that Russia is cry
ing for 1900 engines to save her from
ruin is but faint measure of her trans
portation conditions. Materials of
which there has been most urgent
need have lain for two years at Ar
changed because they could not be
moved. Transportation conditions IN
France are bad. In Germany they are
worse. In Russia they are in state
of indescribable Generalization. AT
the worst, then, the Russian situa-
