SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Apply
 With a Hair Brush

With a Hair Brush.
 The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A wellknown downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied. You simply danpen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

1O9 German Ships
Damaged by Crews Now
in Service for the Nation.

Sailing under American names ir

109 German ships damaged by theil
crews prior to their seizure by the
Government when war was declar
ed. They add more than 100000
gross tonnage to the cargo and trans
port fleet in war service for tht
United States.
There is evidence that German
central authority gave orders fol
the damage of these ships, so that
none could be operate d in less than
18 months, and documentary proof
that the enemy believed much of the
damage to be irrepairable. In less
than eight months all the ships were

ing under distinctly American names

FRECKLES

One of the most important Of

Murphy Theatre, Coulee City, is the
irst presentation here of Neil Two
ley's delightful dramatization of
iene Stratton-Porter's charming
tory, "Freckles," which is announ-
ID for Wednesday, January 9th.
The fact that there have been
more Graders of this story than any
,ther book published in a decade-a
air estimate is in the Millions
makes the dramatization of the ut
most Importance to the dramatic
world.
"Freckles" as song play is by far
stronger than "Freckles" as story.
The characters live, love and have
adventure-one can see and hear,
here is nothing left to the imagin-
ltion. The Broadway Amusement
Co., under whose management the
present tour is conducted, has made
he production of "Freckles" ex-
ceedingly elaborate, and has assem-
oled a company of unusual excellen-
;e for the presentation of this charm
ing song play.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles and the
other characters are by the Viennese
composer. Anatol Friedland, and
are novelty from a musical point
of view. The Woodland Fantasy
played during the play is master
piece.
