HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you Darken Gray, Faded Hair
 with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beau tifuI1y darkened, glossy and attract i've with brew of Sage Tea and Sul- pLur Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or 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 1t through your hair. taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy. soft and beaHttful.-AdE.

SECURE 300
 JOBS FOR MEN

In response to the notice sent out by the U. E. Employment office, for women for part time work at the U. M. C. plant, over 100 applications for employment were made this morning.
 While the outlook for the continu- ation of this office is not very good owing to the failure of Congress to provide funds for the work, there are two possible ways of obtaining the necessary funds. An appropriation could be obtained from the sum asked for and of the Emergency Deficiency bill, and there is also @ possibility for the combination of the state and federal employment service boards.
 Minute Women in conjunction with the employment service secured 500 jobs for returned soldiers since the beginning of their campaign, and they plan continuation of their ef- forts for a short time at least.
 One of the most striking instances of the efficiency of the U. S. Employ ment system was frustrated the past week. A Minute Woman secured week A Minute Won n secured a po- sition for an auto rubber and painter and as no one in this city in that line of work was idle. the state clearance method was used on Thursday after noon and before the following noon q man from Hartford had secured the position.

 Tine president of Brunswick is named Metges. He left his appren- ticeship to a tailor and has made an uncertain living as a ''bushelman.'' His wife still retains her position as an usher in a Brunswick theatre, and is quoted by her neighbors as having said, None or my husbands ever lasted very long, and it will be the same with this one, so I am keeping my job.''
 The vice president of Brunswick is a juggler who was appearing daily in cabaret before the establishment of the republic" The Minister of Ed ucation Is a woman named Fasshauer who was once a domestic servant, and later employed as a charwoman by woman's club. She then became a laundress.

Wisdom of Solomon.

In the proverbs of Solomon there
is this bit of wisdom: Though thou
shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among
wheat with a pestle, yet will not his
f~oolishness depart from him." More
than two thousand years Of world expe-
rience sustains the accuracy of the
Biblical proverb. Braying the fool in
a mortar may not cure him, but it is
sometimes the only way of Kidding the
community of pernicious fools intent
upon spreading the contagion of their
own folly.
