your brothers are opposed to
your marrying the boy, there
may be some good reason for
your not doing so. Men know each
other better than women can
ever know them, and older peo-
pie are better judges of human
nature than young girls. Parents
often know better than their
children what the chances are
for happiness between two per-

wiser to listen to their advice.
When you disregard 1t, you

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How to Darker Gray Hair with
Homemade Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the weIl-known
actress, who was recently playing
at the Imperial Theatre in st. Louis,
made the following statement about
gray hair and how to darken it:
ANY "e can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray, streaked or faded hair, and
make 1t soft and glossy. To a half
pint of water add l ounce of
bayrum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound, and Ia ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t does not
color the scalp. is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off.-(Advt.)

Where Dyes Come From


Because the dye problem became
so menacing when the war cut off
the superior German dyes from
the United States, it has become
also interesting to know where the
much-used dye-stuffs are obtained
This information was printed in
The American Druggist in the year
1889 and I have preserved the
clipping. This clipping, as you dis
cover, was written more than thirty
years ago.
WHERE coLoRs COME FROM
A Variety of Sources that Carries
One Over the Globe
(From the American DruggisG
The cochineal insects furnish a
great many of the very fine colors
Among them are the gorgeous car
mine, the crimson, scarlet carmine,
and purple lakes.
The cuttlefsh gives the sepia. 1t
is the inky fluid which the fish
discharges in order to render the
water Opaque when attacked.
Indian yellow comes from the
camel.
Ivory chips produce the ivory
black and bone black.
made by fusing horses hoofs and
other refuse animal matter with
impure potassium carbonate. This
color was discovered accidentally.
Various lakes are derived from
roots, banks, and gums.
Blue black comes from the char
coal of the vine stalk. Lamp black
is SCOT from certain resinous sub
stances.
Turkey red is made from the
madden plant, which grows in Hin
dostan.
The yellow sap of tree of Siam
produces gamboge; the natives catch
the sap in cocoanut shells. Raw
sienna is the natural earth from
the neighborhood of Sienna, Italy.
Raw number is also an earth found
near Umbria and burned.
India ink is made from burned
camphor. The Chinese are the only
manufacturers of this ink, and they
will not reveal the secret of it's
manufacture.
Mastic is made from the gum of
the (mastic tree, which grows in
the Grecian archipelago.
Bistre is the SCOT of wood ashes
Very little real ultramarine IS
from the precious lapislazuli and
commands a fabulous price.
Chinese white is zinc, scarlet is
iodide of mercury, and native ver-
million is from the quicksilver ore
called cinnabar.
There is nothing said in this
clipping about the general, I might
say universal use of the analine
dyes on both continents. 1t is re-
corded that coal-tar colors as pro-
duced in England, Germany and
France before the late war, amount
ed to $20,OO0,000. When mixture
Of analine and toluidine is heated
with arsenic acid to nearly 400 de-
erees Fahrenheit, mass is left
from which rosaniline is separated
the compounds of which form the
aniline dyes. Magenta, an immensely
popular color, is thus produced.
The auiline blue is obtained by
heating the rosaniline with ben
zine acid. There is also a violet
made with benzine and rosailine.

think that-but the thought
of whether or not you are fl
nancially able to marry is an
other thing. If he is so wound
ed that you would have to make
the living for both of you,
you will need great deal of
love and strength and courage
to make such a marriage sue
cessful and happy. If you have
such love and courage, marry
him by all means. 1t seems to
me that these men who have
made of their own bodies a
shield for the safety of human

biggest, bravest love that can
be given them. I can think of
nothing more bitter than that
