TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY sage TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur bring back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added,
will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Just a few applications will
prove revelation 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 bottle of
-Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound 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 attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does~it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at
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 intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.-Adv.

VAN N0STRAND
TO FORT OMAHA
AS EXECUTIVE
Graduate of University of
Iowa Practically in Charge
Of Work at Post, Served
at Border.

Maj. P. c. Van Nostrand is the
new executive officer at the Fort
Omaha Balloon school, and is, prac-
tically in charge of all the work at
the post He is an Iowan and was
graduated from the Iowa State uni
versity in 1912. He enlisted in the
18th infantry at Galveston, Tex. in
1918, and went to Vera Cruz, Mex
leo in 1911, where he served as in
telligence officer on General Fun
ston's staff. He returned to Gal
weston and was there at the time
of the flood.
In 1915 Maj. Van Nostrand went
to the border, where he was sta
toned until 1917, when he was trans
ferred to Kelly field, San Antonio,
Tex, where he was made adjutant.
When he arrived there, there were
only seven buildings and half a
dozen airplanes. When he left the
last of May the place had grown
until half of all the flying done in
the United States last year was
done on Kelly field. The three
buildings had grown to almost 400,
and the half dozen airplanes had
BEEN increased to hundreds. Off
GERS say that much of the progress
of Kelly field is due to the pep and
push of the major.
Maj. Van Nostrand came to Oma-
ha last May and qualified as an
aerial observer and as free balloon
private. and recently was appointed
executive officer.

BOARD WILL PAY
TEACHERS FOR
ALL idle Time
Class Schedules Will Be Ar.
ranged to Make Up the
Time Lost Through
Quarantine.

Will the school teachers of
Omaha get their salaries for the
weeks during which they are idle
because OF the "hu" epidemic? This
is question that is being asked
frequently. The teachers are re
ceiving their pay and Superinten-
dent Beverage says they will con-
tinue to receive it. Suspension of
the school sessions is no fault of
theirs and, besides, they will be
i called upon to work all the harder
when sessions start again, to make
up for the idle weeks. Thirty teach
ers have resigned since the schools
closed and have accepted better po-
sitons.
In fact, the teachers and princi-
pals are working now on plans for
making up the lost time. The
schedules will be arranged so that
classes will be doubled up on the
essential studies and some Of the
less essential things will be omitted
until the classes are up to schedule
on those that are absolutely essen
tial
The principals of the various
schools are now rearranging the
classes in the different grades so
that this lost time may be made up.
The principals themselves will
teach extra classes in the halls un-
til they have caught up.
1t is stated also that there will be
only one week vacation at Christ
mas instead Of the usual two
weeks.
Probably the annual meeting of
the Nebraska State Teachers asso-
citation will he omitted this year or.
at any rate, postponed until later in
the winter. This meeting is sched-
uled to be held in Omaha the week
of November 4, which would be the
first week when the schools reopen
if the quarantine is lifted from the
state at the earliest date mentioned
in the State Board of Health's Or
der. An elaborate program has
been prepared for the meeting and
national educators and entertainers
have been engaged to come here.

WHEELER TOO
BUSY TO HUNT
UP VOTERS
Candidate for Municipal Judge
but Public Duties Pre-
cIude Doing Cam
paign Work.

Assistant City Prosecutor Perry
Wheeler, who is also secretary of
local draft board No. 2, South Side,
and assistant to the health commits
Sloner, has been so busy attending
to his many duties, including the
issuing of burial permits, that he had
no time to devote to looking after
his interests in the coming election
should he have the inclination. His
friends, however, are working in his
behalf, as he is candidate for NUM-
cipal judge and they feel his cleo
ton is assured because of his loyalty
to his country's needs.
Wheeler's conscientious work on
the draft board when election time is
drawing near, led his friends to in
quire if he was not going to make
a campaign for votes. His response
was that his duty to his country as
secretary of the board was of far
more importance than his candidacy
for the municipal judgeship.

Six of the Enemy Put to
Rout by Lone Omaha Man

II is not unusual for a khaki-clad
Yank to charge a whole nest OF
German machine guns or to silence
battery single-handed, and bring
his prisoner into camp at the point
OF a bayonet, but it is rather un-
usual to hear of SUCH a feat being
pulled off in the streets of an
American city.
Such was the case Wednesday
and right here in Omaha, except
that it was not a German battery
that was silenced.
James Wicker, former employe
at tie u. P. headquarters, recently
received his notification to report
for service and was on his way to
s the train when he was accosted by
half dozen overgrown- DULLES at
the corner of Sixteenth and Jack
son streets. At first young Wicker
was amazed, but finding that his as
sailants were intent upon carrying
ont their intent he finally set down
his grips and took them on,
The boys had not exactly figured
out just the "exact amount of-terri-
tory" they had taken in, for al
though Wicker is only of slight
build, he is thoroughly familiar with
the, proper methods of using his
fists and witnesses to the scene say
it was great sport to see how quick
~ he nut his assailants to fight
All who say the sport say that
Wicker will make a good soldier,
and when the cop" found out wha,
had occurred, he merely shook
Nicker's hand and wished him good
luck.
The rest of gang had beat II in
sufficient time to make good their
getaway. Young Wicker could
give no reason for the attack and
was inclined to believe the fellows
had mistaken him for another party.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.


Spanish Influenza, which appear.
ed in Spain in May, has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics as
far back as history runs. Hippo
crates refers to an epidemic in Az
B. c., which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every
century has had it's attacks. Begin
ming with 1881, this country has had
five epidemics, the last in 1889-90.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, Or influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with Nchill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness,
and a general feeling of weakness
and .denression. The temperature
is from 100 to 104, and the fever
usually lasts from three to five
days. The germs attack the nue.
Gus membrane, or lining of the air
passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis,
and frequently all the appearances
of severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
- Go to bed at the first symptoms
take purgative, eat plenty of nour-
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only "cure" for influenza and
will throw off the attack if only you
conserve your strength. A little
Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder
may be given by the physicians di-
rections to allay the aching. AL
ways. call doctor, since the chief
danger of grip is in its weakening
effect on the system, which allows
complications to develop. These
are chiefly pneumonia and bronchi-
tbs, sometimes inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, it is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength retyrns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the
fever has left you, or if you are over
so or not strong, stay in bed four
days or more, according to the Sc
verify of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grip germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier, Vick's VapoRub will be
found, effective. Hot, wet towels
should be applied over the throat,
chest and back between the shout
der blades to open the pores. Then
should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and covered with
two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat Of the !
