LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand mothers recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at hOrCe is mussy and out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, 1t be- comes beautifully dark and glossy
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youth ful appearance. It Is not intended for the cure, mitigation or proven ton of disease.-Aau-

PERSONNEL OF AMERICA'S
 CIVIL ARMY

Washington, Dec. 12 - Before the war began the United States govern ment employed approximately 50O,000 persons in the civil branch. After Uncle Sam cast his lot definitely with the Allies the great army of workers behind the fighting forces grew by tens of thousands until 1t numbered almost a million men and women. The force of civilian employees of the government in the District of Colum- bia increased from about 35,000 to approximately 95,O00. The forces in navy yards increased from about 20,- 900 to more than 100000, and in gov ernment ordnance plants from 10000 to about 50,000.
 During the 19 months of American participation in the conflict the United States Civil Service Commis- sion, whose duty it was to recruit the civil service to meet war needs, ex- amined almost a million persons, more than 100000 of whom were ap- pointed.
 The commission found 1t necessary to advertise extensively to mobilize the workers. Three thousand local
 
 5000 postmasters at third class post offices in the smaller towns constantly kept the announcements of the com mission before their respective com | munities. More than 5,000,O0O post | CTS and other printed announcements | were distributed and displayed; lam tern slides were thrown upon the screens in 10000 motion picture theatres; cards were displayed in 28,- 900 trolley cars; notices were printed l In 5000 newspapers and more than 200 periodicals; posters were dis played upon the bulletin boards of 5000 libraries, 1900 chambers of | commerce and boards of trade, and in 1 many other prominent places in every city in the country. Appeals for re- cruits were also printed on the backs of gas and electric light bills, on let terheads of business houses, in thea l ire programs and on weather bureau l bulletins. Thirty motion picture pro- | ducing companies either posed special i Educational institutions and numer- l ous organizations assisted in the work. The only cost to the govern 1 ment for millions of dollars worth of advertising was for the printing o1 | posters and circulars and for the mak- 1 ing of lantern slides.
 From now on the civilian persohne, will be gradually reduced.

Famous old Recipe for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made a* home, but it beats them all for
 quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough prepara- tions, by using, this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup, at home. Et is simple and cheap to make, but it really has no equal for prompt results It takes right hold of 8 cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 21h ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make 8 full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts family . long time.
 It's truly astonishing, how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air pas sage of the throat and lungs-loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing bet ter for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, whooping cough or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concen- trsted compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the world over for it's healing effect on the membranes.
 Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for "2115 ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, It. Wayne, Ind.

 BUILDING IN WOODMONT BURNS

New Haven, Dec 12.---A house in Woodmont, on the west shore, notice- able because of its commanding loca- tion, and which was the Connecticut building at the Chicago fair in 1893, was burned today. It was originally designed to typify Connecticut colon ial architecture. A group of men bought the building and had it brought to Woodmont. In recent years 1t had been used as 8 summer residence but just before the war several New Haven men bought the place with the intention of changing it into an automobile inn.
 The Connecticut building was pro- vided at state expense. After the fair, Lieutenant-G Governor J. D. De- welt bought it and had it transferred. Later Judge s. L. Bronson, afterwards candidate for governor, owned the house. Two years ago in the settle ment of the estate the house was sold to two men here, who expected tc sell it to local man for $35,000 for an inn. The war stopped the change and 1t was stated today that the deal had not been made and title remained with Adolph Perlroth and Benjamin Slade who place their loss at ESQ., 000.
