HOUSEHOLD HINTS

The Red Cross rules for knitting socks require that they should be laundered. Tn returning the socks have found several which have been scorched. The only way to remove it is to rub with a piece of silver money, preferably a. half dollar. Hold the material firmly in one hand and rub hard with the other. This applies to any woolen material.
 Don't thrown away any of fathers or big brothers old negligee shirts. Oftentimes they are only warn around the neck and on the lower part of the sleeves. If so, cut off sleeves at the elbow and hem them. Then turn in at the neck V-shaped, cutting away the worn part, and sew on rolling collar of white poplin or madras. Be- hold, a serviceable sport shirt. If the shirt is worn too much for that, per haps you can make a blouse or sport shirt for the small boy. A gray fan nel shirt made a good one-piece bath ing suit for my 2-year-old boy. Little play suits, the same style, can be made, too. Of the back section may be cut out, finished with rickrack braid or other trimming and made into a small apron. The least that can be done with them is to cut off the buttons and put them away in an emergency drawer or bag to be used for cleaning clothes. They will be useful for many purposes, as they leave no lint.

 Poor girl! Ignorant friends! Why do people commit the stupid discour- tesy of commenting on another's un- favorable appearance? It should be quite sufficient salutation to express the hope that you are feeling well, without adding personal opinions on the subject of how poorly you are looking" or "how your color has gone" And yet some careless peo- pie have the perpetual habit, imme- diately on greeting a friend, to make some unfavorable comment on her appearance.
 believe 1t is this kind of comment which influences many a young girl needlessly to overpaint and overpow- der herself. She dislikes the criti- cfsm of her appearance. Especially does she resent it when people add insult to injury by remarking how much better looking is some other girl! Edna looks lovely-her eyes are bright and her cheeks rosy. Why aren't you looking well, Ethel?" Of course, EtheTs feelings are wounded. And immediately she de- cides not only to apply the paint and powder that she thinks have contrib uted to Edna's loveliness, but in an endeavor to outshine that winsome young woman she doubles the quan- l tity of artificial comp1exion-and alas, she reduces its effectiveness by | that much!

HAVE DARK HAIR i AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when you darken gray, faded hair with
 Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkaned, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. 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 store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur 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 nobody can tell it has been applied its so easy to use, too. You simply 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 of two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy. soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite 7 It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.-tAdy.

BULGARIA MAY PUT
MILLION men IN war
AGAINST THF TURKS
Turkey Must Prepare To De-
fend COnstantinOple Or
Sue For Peace.
By Raymond Clapper.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. SO,-Bulgaria will
be friendly to any allied moves against
Turkey and will be practically on the
side of the allies for the remainder Of
the war, Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff
told the United Press today.
Turkey will be forced to sue for
peace or meet an allied attack on Con
stantinople. he said. An allied advance
over the Sofia railway toward Adrian
ople can be expected at any time, he
declared.
Winning of Bulgaria to the allied
side is great gain,'' Minister Panare
toff declared. "It will have its effect
on Turkey. Turkey will be obliged
either to sue for peace as Bulgaria ha.
done, or to meet allied attack on Con
stantinople. The fact that the allies il
their demands have asked, according tt
dispatches from Paris and London, tina,
the Bulgarian railways should be undel
their control, points to the fact thai
Bulgaria will be friendly to any allied
military operations.
1t is even limited that "oeef million
Bulgarian troops may turn on Turkey
and join the allied attacks.' Bitter con
troversy has ragged between Turkey anc
Bulgaria over the boundary along til,
Martha river. 1t would take littlt
provocation, diplomats say, to cause
Bulgaria to throw her troops against
the Turks.
Secretary of State Lansing was in
formed several months ago that Bulgar
ia would break from Germany at the
first opportunity. This was learned OF
unquestioned authority. Strong press3rl
had been brought upon this government
to force break with Bui
garia but when Radoslavof
was turned out from the Bulgarian cabi
net and Malinoff put in his place a
premier, word was sent out quickly tha
it meant peace as soon as the new gov
vrnment could engineer the move. Ac
tual negotiations have been on longe
that the public suspected, it is under
stood, but the strong terms which tn
allies demanded caused some hesita
, tion on the part Of Bulgaria.
