FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre. or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life- less, is caused by lack of sulphur In the hair. Our grandmot other made, up a. mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other in- gredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that mo- body can possibly tell it has been ap- piled. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disap- pears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful appearance to the hair. It Is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease- Adv

that the Kangaroo Court exists in the jail; that the new prisoners are tried' that their money is taken away for to- bacco, candy and other luxuries TOT the other inmates: that "the general condl- tion of the jail suggests carelessness Tn its keeping and there was markea iach of discipline among the inmates. ln- mediate changes at the jail are de- manded.
 In commenting on the existence of the court" at the jail the report says:
 "It developed also. in talking with prisoners. that there exists here so- called Kangaroo Court organized rom among the inmates. All prisoners, upon admission to the jail, are tried by the court, and in case they nave no mohey they are detailed to duty and required to clean up the corridors and adjoining railways of the jail. If they have money all or part of it at least is appropriated, and added to fund from which those who are required to work are gwen small sum for their services, and the re- mainder is sent out to purchase topacco' candy or such articles as the prisoners may desire. Such practice, of course, Is reprehensible, and l have directed that a stop be put to it at once.
 Tn a letter to Sheriff Batson the in spector calls attention to the court, and suggests his personal attention to the
 
 matter. A report of the inspection was given pr. J. D. Bowling, health officer; the board of revenue and the sheriff
 The building used for women prisoners is not fire-proof and there Is danger or loss of life should there occur a fire, the report shows pr. Andrews says there are sufficient bathing facilities and that the food served is ample. He suggests the cleaning of the jail walls and cells.
 After paying compliments to the di- rectors of the almshouse the inspector said: q dislike very much to add any adverse criticism, but duty permits me no latitude and gives me no alternative. The buildings comprising this plant are all constructed of wood, and those set apart for executive use and housing the inmates are in close proximity of each other. Should fire get well under way in either building all of them would more likely be burned" The report then says there would be danger of loss Of life in the burning of the buildings.

BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer. November 2O-(Special.)-Th
 idea of honoring the Bessemer men who
 have given their lives during the great
 world war, is being discussed in all cir
 cles, and in all quarters of the city.
 The erection of monument to their
 memory or some building that will suita-
 ply memorialize their sacrifice on the
 field of battle is being agitated while
 their deeds of herosm are fresh in the
 minds of the people. Bessemers honor
 roll has many names, and it is fitting
 that these men be honored by their tei-
 low-townsmen in such a way that fu-
 ture generations may know of their
 great sacrifices. It is certain that some
 movement will be started in the near
 future for the honoring of Besselner's
 heroes.
 According to q letter received by rea- tives of Corporal Joe Romano, Company D. l61th infantry, he has landed at Ellls

 and has been in a hospital for four
 months, and is at present under treat
 ment at Ellis Island. He stated that
 he came over in the first ship leaving
 after the armistice had been signed,
 and 1t was a very happy crowd on board, with all lights on and no fear of sub marines.
 The Rev. l. F Swallow is attending the Alabama synod, in session in rus caloosa. and has received the conph-
 ment of being elected moderator. Among his friends in Bessemer, the honor IS
 considered well deserved.
