EASY TO DARKEN

You can Bring Back Color and

and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can

some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
By morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two.
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign OF old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi-
let requisite and not a medicine. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-

There was great JOY throughout
the city today over the final success
of the playground movement, and
the acquisition this valuable prop
ertv. which is regarded as the ideal
for the purposes, and the only tract
left within the city that could nave

A Valuable House, Too.
It includes an old house of eight
rooms. substantially built as homes
were many years ago, and more val
liable than many of the modern
houses. 1t is said to be so arranged
that it can be easily remodeled and
changed into an ideal community
home. where the various clubs and
civic bodies may meet at will, small
conventions held, and which can 9th
erwise be utilized as a get-together
place for all of the people. The
grounds are ample for many kinds of
outdoor activities, and it is limited
that q new high school building on
broader scale than that now in use
is an early possibility, and that this
property will provide an ideal site
for the building without reducing the
park feature appreciably.
The Woman's Club today came in
for the lions share of the congratu-
lation over the success of the move
ment, for this organization has been
the pioneer in the playground move
ment here, planning and working for
three years to arouse sufficient pub
lie interest to "put it over" Through
the leadership of Mrs. Fank Sheffield,
head of the clubs committee on play
grounds, the movement has at last
been crowned with success.
And the whole people today have
a clearer vision and a stronger faith
in the future of their city.

has practically no refuse. From this
standpoint, therefore; as well as the
difference in price, the housewife
who finds her food allowance growing
low will do well to use beans often
in place of meat.
The cheaper legumes, beans, peas,
etc, should not be depended upon
as the sole source of protein for a
great length of time. Milk, cheese,
eggs, or meat should furnish some
of the protein in weekly dietary.
There is little difference in food
value among the many common varie-
ties of beans, with the exception of
the soy bean, which is richer in pro-
tein and in fat than the ordinary
beans. All legumes should be thor
oughly cooked. Long cooking at mod
crate heat is best.
BAKED BEANS.
A favorite standard recipe for bak-
ing beans is the following: Soak tire
beans overnight, then rinse and boil
them until the skins crack when blown
upon but the beans are not quite soft.
Use one-half pound of salt pork to
one quart of beans. Cut the pork

cessful comedy, Scandal with
Emma Bunting, which ha proven to
be the biggest success Chicago has
seen in decade, in fact it is doubt
full if its record can be duplicated in
the history of the stage in that city.
Scandal has to do with beauti-
full, clever, red-blooded young per-
son who, hedged about by the con-
ventions of society, decides she
would like to know men as they real
ly are in their more elemental mo-
ments. She chooses a heart-breaker
artist for her first experiment. Go
ing to his studio at night, he loses
no time in fulfilling her expectations.
The situation is becoming alarming
when her mother, aunt and uncle ar
