TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and hnxuriant. just few
applications win prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the SageTea and Sulphur recipe
at home,. though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get bottle of Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth.
full appearance and attraetiveness. BY
ldarkening your hair with Wyeth' s Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell
because it does it so naturally, so even
ly. You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at time;
ldark, glossy, soft and llxuriant.-Adv.

MOVIE TO TEACH THE MUJIK.
American Methods Filmed for Illiterate
Russian Peasant

In the days when Russia was fighting
with the Allies the artillery work of her
armies was credited with considerable
effectiveness even though the men who
served the guns were for the, most part
unable To read any sort of a written or
printed order. or difrerentiate the sizes
of shell by their markings. Even the
men who unloaded the cars of ammuni-
tion could not read the tags on the car
doors. But they did not lack intelligence
or capacity to learn, and when the ord
nance office took to substituting placards
bearing pictures of the shells each ear
contained, the reproduction of the shell
being the exact size of the shell itself,
i those muijks had no further trouble
/ finding what they were sent after and de-
& liyering the ammunition to the guns il
would fit
/ Now this capacity for learning from
pictures is to be applied i'll the effort to
rehabilitate that Bolsheyist stricken
country. In communication to the
state department asking for help, the
Russian Primorskoye Provincial Fem
styo says:
The restoration of Russia as a pow
erful State on an economically sound
basis can be accomplished only by means
of development of her productive pow
ers. This, in turn, could be made pos
sible only by application in every branch
of economical activity of the most mod
ern machinery and methods of produc-
ton. As the vast majority of our peo-
pie, especially of the rural districts, are
intellectually not sufficiently prepared
for the general application of more adj
vanced methods and modern machinery

this sort is considered by the Zemstvo as
one of the most urgent needs of the
moment as an essential part of which it
considers the moving picture, showing
various processes of industries and ag-
ricultural, samples of various machinery
and implements for their demonstration
in actual work, and so on. All this we
cannot expect from anywhere but from
the United States. And the sooner we
obtain these materials, the greater would
be their service"

of Agriculture has turned over twenty

processes at their best. These films in
