Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded, streaked

some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with ii and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

The Future of Turkey.

What the German military clique will do to
Europe if it should happen to win this is exem-
plifed by the German chancellof's statement that
Turkey receive the territory wrested from it
and that its sovereignty in the future remain
undisturbed This speech, of course, echoed the
sentiments of the emperor and the ruling class in
Germany. How any could give uttefance
to such declaration in view of the atrocities COM
mitted by the Turks against helpless Armenians
and Syrans is beyond the comprehension of any
civilized nation. It is estimated-and we do not
doubt the correctness Of the estimate-that million
human beings, of them women and children
have died of starvation and the horrors and torures
inflicted upon them by the Turks since this war
started. The ruler statesman who therefore
espouses the of such nation, is, by his own
acts unworthy of further consideration at the hands
of any of the allied powers. Turkey has misruled
subject peoples since the fiery of the Moslem
conquerors swept western Asia and into Con-
stantinople in the Fifteenth century. Turkey like
Germany. should be destroyed.-Peoria Star
