Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and attract i've with brew of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded CT streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was ap- piled with wonderful effect. By ask ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old time recipe, improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, all ready to use at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to re- store natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair. taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful,-Adv.

In these post-bellu m days every man should have written before him in large letters the teaching of Neitz- sche, the great German apostle of De- ciet and inventor of the Teutonic 'tsu- perhuman."
 The words of this blasphemous philosopher expose the barbarian and covetous German. He wrote:
 ''It is the most dangerous and the most happily thought of disguise the Germans could have hit upon; this good nature, this manner of seeming to throw all his cards upon the table like an honest German; it is a positive mephistophelean art which will per- init the German to go far!
 The German seems to yield him. self, he stares with those faithful and widespread blue German eyes and at once the stranger makes the mis- take of taking his gown for the man. It is wisdom on the part of the peo- pie to pass themselves off as profound awkward, good, honest, and simple minded; it might even be profound:

 Though German goods are flowing into Britain by the open door, and the Germans are full of contrition, while assuming a standard of high morality, we must never forget this admission by the war-makfng writer, which every German quotes with con viction and belief.
