GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Look Years Younger! Try Grand
mas Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this ldtime recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does is so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is delightful
toilet requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.-Adv.

READY FOR GAME

CAMP GRANT, Ill.,, Oct. 24.-The
Camp Grant football team yesterday
began the grinding work Of preparing
for the big game against Camp Taylor
at Weeghman park, Chicago, on army
day, Nov. 8.
Capt. Omer admitted that no def
mite dope on the team could be had
at present. The first chance to judge
his material will come Saturday when
the team goes to Madison. The only
chance the coaches have had to get a
line on the team was in the game
against the remount station last Sat
urday. In spite of the fact that the
remounts had been organized longer
they went down to As to defeat.
Lieut.. C. II. Guy, line coach, who
was formerly center on the Washing
ton and Jefferson team and also on the
Dartmouth eleven, said: "Our line
compares with any in the country.
We have few surprises in store for
Wisconsin,"
Two former University Of Wisconsin
men were on the field. One was Lieut..
Wallace Landry, star mat and grid
iron man. He will not be able to get
into the game. Herold Stark, former
Badger, will be in the back field Sat
urday.

Freed British Prisoners
Praise American Aid
lRx Associated Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Liberated Brit
ish prisoners passing through Sofia on
their way to Saloniki speak gratefully
of the work done by the American
consul general at Sofia in their behalf.
according to a dispatch to the Mail.
They said that, although the British
and French prisoners endured much
hardship. the Serbians were regularly
beaten by their Bulgarian captors and
often shot without excuse.
One British prisoner said, according
to the dispatch, "The poor devils were
thrashed, worked to death or slain in
a way that no civilized country would
allow a dog to be treated"
Some members of the British pris-
oner party are said to have been pit
iably pale and thin, but one said,
There are men in far worse condition
than we come in"

Tells HOsU to Stop q
Bad Cough
Surprising results from this famous
old homemade syrup. EoStly
prepared and costs little.

cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing,

night with Group and you want quick
help, try this reliable old homemade
cough remedy. Any druggist can sup
ply you with 212 ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, IN
stead of sugar syrup, if desired. This
recipe makes pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. 1t tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.

in a way that means business. 1t loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, stops throat
tickle and soothes and heals the irritated
membranes that line the throat and bron-
chial tubes with such promptness, ease
and certainty that it is really aston
ishing.

trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is probably the best known
means of overcoming severe coughs,
throat and chest colds.
There are many worthless limitations OF
this mixture. To avoid disappointment,
ask for "215 ounces of Pinex" with full
directions and don't accept anything else.

T is BELIEF OF FRENCH THAT
OTHER BIG OFFENSIVE is
COMING

New York.-German attacks on

to have been definitely checked.
Halted ia their rush toward Com

French by their onslaught southwest
of scissors, the enemy apparently has
began recently and for time
threatened vital French positions.
The French official statement says
that only local fighting has occurred
along the front of attack during the
last few hours.
The latest German attempt TO break
through the French lines lasted but
five days before it reached the phase
of equilibrium which has marked the
end of the critical periods in the Pr
cardy, Flanders and Aisne dries.
An inference that might be drawn
from the apparent haste of the Ger
mans in beginning their great attack
east of Montdidier almost as soon as
their sweeping advance on the Aisne
front has been checked at the Marine
is that another German offensive may
be speedily launched. 1t is not i'm
probable, according to French opinion.

front, further north, either in front
of Amiens or in the Flanders sector,
