SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and SuI- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and SuI- plaur enhances its appearance 8, hun dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture, you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and Iustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses ''Wyeth's'' Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand al Q time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appH- cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv

IF BACK HURTS

Flush the Kidneys at once when Backachy or Blad- der bothers-Meat

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says & well-known. authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishIy filter or strain only part of the waste and poIsons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation. dIzzi- ness, sleepIessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel 8 dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by g sensation of scaldirg, get about four ounces of lad Sa Its from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia, and has been used for gen eratons to flush cIogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so 1t no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

PUBLIC IS WILLING.
OPERA

Several days ago the report that the 10 per cent. on amusement would be made permanent by the Gov ernment was published in this column Since that day the writer has come in possession of several letters from representative playgoers of Bridgeport. These state in te. .ns that are most emphatic that the pub lie will not mind the continuance ot the tax. One of them in part says:
 If Uncle Sam needs the money, he is entitled to it. No one will miss the small tax. The man of moderate means who prefers high class opera should
 be quite wiling to give ten or
 Is cents to the Government. The gentleman who takes his wife to the movies will never
 miss the cent or two he pays in excess to the admission fee. War
 has without a doubt taken a lot
 of money from the U. s. treasury.
 but Uncle Sam will find that
 playgoers are not slackers and
 stand willing and consider 1t a
 pleasure to be In 6 position to

CRITICS AND ACTORS.

Critics throughout the country are not held in the same esteem by all actors and actresses. Take, for in stance, the case of Critic Broun of The New York Tribune. Just because he expressed what he thought of an actor in print, he was hailed in court but released. If the actor will re- member that the critic is nothing but a hard working newspap who criticizes simply becausee he must eat and sleep, this ''woild" would not be so bitter.
 But then, there are actors who are never" cratic. Everything they do is perfect and criticism is not wanted. These ham performers would do a good turn to themselves as we'll as to the profession if they applied for a position at some shop.

PROSPECTIVE STARS.

Musical comedy next season will be introduced to no less than 20 new stars, most of whom have been re- cruited from burlesque. This indeed speaks well for the burieys. Cham berlain Brown, the energetic agent, is the responsible person. And incl dentally he has deprived such expert burlesque magnates as Joe and Lou Hurtig, Barney Gerard. Al Reeves, Jules Jacobs. Jean Bedini, Fred IT. win and others, too numerous to mention of some of the most prom ised material ever developed in a single season.
 But, then, it is a fact that should be repeated often to the un- suspecting, but oft-times slzeptical public that burlesque has at last come into its own and Broadway pro- ducers have, to depend upon that branch of theatricals for new talent.
