TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractivenesS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
oft and luxuriant.
This preparation Is delightful toilet

LOCAL HEALTH OFFICER WARNS
AMERICUS PEOPLE TO BE CARE

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE
DISEASE MAKING IT'S APPEAR

D. W Tiedeman, lieutenant, o. 5.
A., in charge of the federal health
service here, has received number
of pamphlets prepared by the United
States health service, and tells about
Spanish influenza, its causes and
methods for preventing the disease.
These may be had by any person in
terested by calling at his office on the
third floor of the Planters Bank build

Discussing the disease with The
Times-Recorder this morning, Lieut.
Tiedeman said:
The disease now occurring III this
country and called Spanish Influenza
resembles very contagious kind OF
cold" accompanied by fever, pains
in the head, eyes, ears back or other
parts of the body, and a feeling Of
severe sickness. In most of the cases
the symptoms disappear after three or
four days. the patient then rapidly re-
covering; some of the patients how
ever develop pneumonia or infiamma-
ton of ne ear, or meningitis, and
many of these complicated cases die
"Epidemics of inuenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is inter-
esting to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. Although the present epidemic
is called Spanish influenza" there is
no reason to believe that it origiuat-
ed in Spain.
There is as yet no certain way y
which single case of Spanish in
fiaenza' can be recognized on the

there is a group of cases.

tents complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains re1a-
lively slow.
'In appearance one is struck by
the fact that the patient looks sick.
His eyes and the inner sides of his
eyelids may be slightly bloodshot,' or
'congested,' as the doctors say. There

there may be some cough
at is very important that every
person who becomes sick with infu-

as the teacher starts on the first lesson
he would say 81 put on my stockings

mined until the first, second and third
books are completed.
Wonderful results have been reported
BY the Y II. G. A. In some cases It
has been shown that scholars have be-

ful one and it was accepted and has
been taught for several years.

PLAN TO USE CANALS

First steps looking to the adoption
of the plan to use the canals in the
summer months TO transport coal to
tidewater, thereby relieving Philadel-
phia and vicinity of the possibility OF
a coal famine next winter, as suggested
by the Philadelphia Bourse, have been
taken.
Colonel o. Keller, of the engineer
corps and secretary of Director General
McAdoos recently appointed Water
ways Commission. called upon Emil p.
Albrecht, president of the Bourse and
asked for ia pertaining TO the Schuyl-
x Nll, Lehigh and Delaware and Raritan
CAnas.
Mr.. Albrecht has communicated with
ofhcials of the companies controlling the
canals, asking them to submit to the
Bourse their personal views and any
I suggestions regarding the steps the Cow
{ ernment may take. He also commune
Gated with large coal dealers as to their
facilities for handling and unloading
coal arriving in Philadelphia by way
Of the canals. Replies to these inquiries
will be forwarded to the commission at
Washington.
Inspectors from the office of William
Potter, fuel administrator for Pennsyl-
vania are still investigating the quality

yards and in the cars that are being
shipped here. Dirty coal to the
amount of 164 tons was condemned by
the inspectors yesterday and reconsigned
to the collieries from which they were
shipped.

delivered by the fuel administration
through a letter from the national fuel
(, administration in Washington.
Under the implied caption, Don't buy

Tomatoes and
Cyclones
Storms as Defined BY the u. S.
Weather Bureau

Weather men define a tornado as a
violent windstorm, with rain or hail,
thunder and lightning, In which the air
masses whirl with great velocity
around q central core, while the whole
storm travels across the country In a
narrow path at high speed. The thun-
der and the whirling motion have CIV
en- rise to two theories of the deriva-
ton of the word, as to whether Ii is
derived from the Spanish tornado" a
thunderstorm, or from the Latin storm
are" to turn.
A cyclone, In the definition of the
weather bureau, Is not necessarily a
windstorm of great velocity, but rath-
err a widespread storm that moves with
no great speed. Its width may cover
several states. This cyclone. or area
of low pressure-indicated as slow" on
the weather map-gives conditions es-
sential to tornadoes. Many cyclones
never develop a tornado, but a tornado
never develops without the cyclone.
and almost invariably the tornadoes oc-
cur In the southeast quarter of the
low area. About 100 cyclones pass
across the United States each year,
moving in a general way from west to
east. They are of great benefit be-
cause they induce movement Of surface
air from the south and southeast, and
the rainfall that makes the great in
terror valleys a rich agricultural region
Is dependent upon these southerly,
misunderstanding winds.
Practically all Of the cyclones Of the
warm season give rise at some time or
place to thunderstorms or hail or vio-
lent winds. These winds may be vio-
lent enough to cause destruction, but
unless they have the whirling column
of air they are not tornadoes. In the
East 1t is not always easy to distin-
guish the funnel-shaped cloud. but the
lay Of the debris after a storm will
tell whether there has been a twist
ing motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move
In IN easterly direction and generally
from southwest to northeast. The av-
erage length Of the path Of destruction
Is about rs miles, and this path may
not be continuous, IL the funnel cloud Is
not In contact with the earth during its
whole course. Sometimes 1t rises and
goes for a considerable distance before
descending again.

lraumatic Shock, Harvard
Medical Expert Finds Far
Most Deadly in Trenches

Men rarely die of shell shock but
they have been dying at the rate of
10000 a year In the Fnglish and
French armies alone as & suit of a
far more deadly form of shock-trau-
matte shock, says the Atlantic
Monthly. In fact, the latter is usu-
ally fatal when skilled assistance is
not at hand. DR.. William T. Porter
of the Harvard medical school has
been sent into the front line trenches
In France to study this strange enemy
in action. Traumatic shock, he found,
usually follows a serious fracture of
a major bone like the hip bone or
multiple wounds through the sub-cu-
taneous fat layer.
BY experimenting with injecting
olive oil into the veins of a cat DIR.
Porter developed symptoms identical
with those appearing In cases of
traumatic shock, confirming his belief
that fatty globules are released into
the veins by certain wounds and these
gradually clog up the hairlike capll-
larics of the brain until circulation
ceases. Then began an interesting Sc
ries of experiments in the front line
trenches in which Dr. Porter tried the
experiment of giving carbon dioxide
to freshly wounded men TO prevent
shock. The poilus were delighted
with his tests and crowded around
eagerly to watch the operation.
All of these details, together with
many keen and humorous reactions
of a trained observer In the war zone,
are set down in DR.. Porter's recently
published little book. "Shock at the
Front" In fact, one well known
critic insists that the book. far from
being a mere medical treatise, is
rather "a glimpse of the war done In
sharp stroke by a physician who has
as Pretty a technic with the pen al
with the scalpel."
