GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try erandmothers Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a
 large bottle of, this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gradients, at very little cost. Every body uses this preparation now, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with i<> and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears and after another application or two your. hair becomes beautifully dark thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
 Compound is @ delightful toilet re- quisite. It is not intended for the
 cure, mitigation or prevention of dis. ease.

MuderOus Assault on Capt. Jas. Lennen

AIr. Holmes was just coming into his house on Slater avenue as his wife was answering the telephone call from
 Mir. Roland
 He hastened at once to the Lennen home and arrived while Dr. Cassidy
 was sewing up two deep and long cuts
 over the injured mans ternrle
 Officer Michael Carroll was the one who noticed what are claimed to be
 blood spots on the overcoat Mr.
 Holmes was wearing and when he had
 reported this to Captain Twosney the captain ordered that A1r. Holmes be brought to headquarters. There the captain found that a key cn the ring carried by MT. Holmes fitted the lock of the door at Capt. Lernens house. To Captain Twomey. MT. Holmes de- nied all knowledge of the affair and explained his movements during the evening. He- said that he had been in front of the Polish hall at s15 o. clock. He went up Franklin street on l the car on that trip and went as far as Otis street. All this, it is under stood, was corroborated by investiga- tions made by the police.
 Mir. Holmes said he was just com | ing into his house as his wife was 1 answering the telephone call from Mir Roland asking him to come and see I Capt. Lennen
 Mfr. Holmes explained the blood i spots on his overcoat and on his gloves by saying that he got them at | the captains house after arriving there
 in response to Mir. Boland's call. It was Captain Lennen's belief that the man who made the attack on him 1 had followed him in through the door when he came into the house, although
 he said he neither heard nor saw any
 one following him.
 l One circumstance was pointed out ir the police investigation as tending tc l show that the assailant of the captain
 was in the house before the captain l got there. The electric bulb in a large drop light over the dining room table was found unscrewed so that it coul6 not be lighted Captain Lennen claim
 ed that he never left it that way wher he went out.
 Two deep cuts extending to tht bone over the left temple and one cut under hte right eye and another at the
 outer side of the right ey were the most serious wounds that Catain Len nen received. The right eye was com. pletely closed. There were probably four or five more cuts on the top O
 the head. in the cheek and chin; non, of them so severe as the first men tioned.

A nnurderous assault by an un- known man who escaped without leaving any clue was made upon Capt. James Lennen about g o'clock Thurs day night at his home at 40 Boswell avenue. Over an hour later the police arrested on suspicion Royal c. Holmes of this city, who has been a cOnfi- dential friend of Captain Lenhen in the handling of his business affairs.
 it is understood.
 What the police say are blood spots on Mir. Holmes 0vercoat and on his gloves directed their suspicion tow
 ards him, and after lengthy investi- gation Capt. D. J. Tworney ordered the
 arrest of MT. Holmes. He denied all
 guilt in connection with the affair
 and obtained his release on $500 bail
 given by a relative
 Captain Lennen was taken to the
 Baekus hospital after more than haN
 dozen wounds on his head had beer
 treated by Dr. Louis T. Cassidy at the captains home. The officials were
 doubtful whether the wounds had been made by a knife or a heavy weapon used for striking.
 Captain Lennen's story of the as- sault was that he had come home just about o'clock after being downtown at the Ellis restaurant, where he was reading a newspaper. He came into the back door of his place and locked the door after him as he entered the house. As he came into the dining room, which was dark, and was pass ing around the table towards the kitchen, man struck him on the top of his head from behind, knocking him to the floor, and then jumping on him and continuing to pound him or the head.
 He shouted loudly for help and James Roland, who lives in the upper part of the house, responded by call l ing back to him and then running OH: into the street, yelling for the police | MT. Roland ran up the street some 4f or 50 feet and then back towards the house, seeing man running away 1 and up into Reynolds street at the 1 time. He could give no description o1 1 this man except that he was of good
 height and not of heavy build. MT. Roland summoned help from the police by telephoring from store or l Franklin street, and Captain TwomeJ sent Policemen Michael Carroll ant Patrick Murphy to the Roland house
 at once.
 l After the officers had arrived MT
 Roland went out agin to telephone fol Mir. Holmes, because he knew of thu friendly relations between the twt i men.

 Is it not clear to every one that the nation whose materialism is today causing the world to suffer so deeply was led into this evil course through wholly material sense of science and Of theology? To this nation, spiritual idealism, the supremacy of spirit over matter, the honesty, the purity of mo- l tive, the selflessness which we Eng fish speaking people hold so dear, had
