TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkcns so Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea, and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home, All drug stores sell the ready to-use product, improved by the ad- ditioh of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been ap- piled. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appear ance of abundance which is so at- tractive. adv.

AUNT MARY HAS
 DECLARED WAR ON
 IMPuDENT YOUTHS
Several Picaninnies Will Think Twice Before They
 Shout Hereafter.

Aunt Mary Johnson, an old negro nanny who was built long before Herb Hoover began to work for Un- cle Sam is as long, figuratively, on etiquette, as she is broad, physically, on avidupois. And things which do not rock along just exactly as her interpretation of what Hoyle would say in the matter do not come within her lexicon of things as they should be.
 For long time, the small boys have been in the habit of calling Aunt Mary "hambone." According to her idea of the great scheme of things vogue in the way of etiquette, this thing of "hambone" flung at her from the mouths of various and sum- dry urchins is distinctly out of order, and in no uncertain tones. and actions does Aunt Mary make her belief in the matter known.
 Several weeks ago, Aunt Mary ap- peared in Municipal Court against a number of small boys who had creat- ed 8 disturbance bv the prolonged use of the taunt. Judge Wood admon- ished the boys and gave Aunt Mary some advice.
 "The next time they do that" he told her, "get you switch. and we'll, use your own Judgment"
 The occasion to put into practice what the judge had advised came Tuesday. A number of little negro boys espied Aunt Mary waddling along Main street near Sixth avenue. and immediately shrill cries of "hambone! hambone!1" reached her ears.
 War was declared immediately. Aunt Mary secured cudgel of suit able size and weight to be felt thru the thick skin of the darkies, and after short chase in which she pen ned them up in Gottlieb's Shoe Re- newerv. Aunt Mary began to lay on McDuff.
 It is said there was thick layer.
 Yesterday. she communicated her grievances before Judge Wood.
 "Dev calls me hambone." she said "an' I doan like hit. Elf I was just a common ordinary nigger, hit would be different. but I'se class. All the little white chillun uster call me ham. bone, but tol' their folks, and dey stopped hit, an now dev calls me Aunt Mary. Doan nobuddy but dem little cotton eyed niggers call me hambone"
