Italo-Americans, Who,
Served in y. 5. Army,
Sending Money Home

Naples, Oct. 1S.-Tens of thou
sands of checks amounting to mil
lions of dollars each month are be-
ing sent to relatives here by the
Italo-Americans who served in the
American Army. Therefore the
money received from American SOL
diers' allotments, War Risk Insur-
ance benefits, and United States Gov
ernment compensation constitutes
one of the chief sources of income
for Southern Italy at the present
time. OF the thousands of Italo-
Americans in the American Army,
the great majority were from South
ern Italy, which has furnished the
bulk of Italian emigrants to the
United States.
At the present rate of exchange
OF almost ten lire to the dollar, these
checks yield profitable revenue to
Italy. 1t is widely-known fact
that thousands OF families in South
ern Italy to-day are being largely
supported by such contributions from
the Treasury of the United States.

Billina Frightens the Nome King

NOW when Dorothy had entered
the palace to make her guesses and
the Scarecrow was left with the
Nome King. the two sat in moody
silence for several minutes. Then
the monarch exclaimed, in a tone
of satisfaction:
Very Good"
Who is very good?" asked the
Scarecrow.
THE machine man. He won't
need to be wound up any more, for
he has now become a very neat
ornament. Very neat indeed"
How about Dorothy" the Scare
crow enquired.
Oh, she will begin to guess pretty
soon," said the King cheerfully.
And then she will join my collection,
and it will be your turn"
The good Scarecrow was much
distressed by the thought that his
little friend was about to suffer the
rate of Ozma ard the rest of their
party; but while he sat in gloomy
reverie shrill voice suddenly cried:
Kut, kut, kut-ka-daw-kutt! !!
kut, kut, kut-ka- -daw-kutt!"
The Nome King nearly jumped off
MS seat. he was so startled.
GOOD gracious! What's that"
he yelled.
Why. it's Billina," said the Scare
crow.
What do you mean by making
noise like that?" shouted the King,
angrily, as the yellow hen came from
under the throne and strutted proud
ly about the room.
I've got a right to cackle l

laid my egg"

The Scarecrow Welcomes Dorothy Back

What! Laid an egg! In my
throne room! How dare you do such
a thing?" asked the King, in o voice
of fury.
II lay eggs wherever I happen to
be-" said the hen, ruffling her
feathers and then shaking them
into place.
"But-thunder-a Don't you
know that eggs are poison?" roared
the King. while his rock -colored eyes
I struck out in great terror.
Poison! Well, 1 declare" said
Billina, Indignantly. I'll have you
know all my eggs are warranted
strictly fresh and up-to-date. Poison,
indeed"
You don't understand" retorted
the little monarch, nervously. Eggs
belong only to the outside world
to the world on the earth's surface,
where YOU came from. Here, in
my underground kingdom, they are
rank poison, as 1 said and we Nomes
can't bear them around"
We'll, you'll have to bear this one
around" declared Billina; "for I've
laid it,"
''Where?" asked the King.
Under your throne" said the
hen.
The King jumped three feet into
the air, so anxious was he to get
away from the throne.
Take it away! Take it away at
once!" he shouted.
Il can't" said Billina. 'T haven't
any hands"
I'll take the egg, Said the Scare
crow. I'm making a collection of
Billina's eggs. There's one in my
pocket now, that she laid yester-
day"
Hearing this, the monarch hasten
ed to put good distance between
himself and the Scarecrow, who was
about to reach under the throne for
the egg when the hen suddenly
cried:
"Stop!'S
What's wrong?" asked the Scare
crow
Don't take the egg unless the
King will allow me to enter the
palace and guess as the others have
done" said Billina.
"Pshaw!" returned the King. "You
are only hen. How could you
guess my enchantments?"
Il can try, 1 suppose" said Bill
lima. And, if I fail, you will have
another ornament"
"A pretty ornament you'd make,
wouldn't you?" growled the King.
But you shall have your way. It
will properly punish you for daring
to lay an egg in my presence. After
the Scarecrow is enchanted you shall
follow him into the palace But how
will YOU touch the objects?"
With my claws" said the hen;
and I can speak the word 'Ev' as
plainly as anyone. Also must have
the right to guess the entertainments
of my friends, and to release them
if 7 succeed"
Very we'll" said the King. You
have my promise"
Then" said Billina to the Scare
crow, you may get the egg"
He knelt down and reached under
meath the throne and found the egg,

DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
viii Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful 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 addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time BY morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy
