COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re-
stores It's Natural Color
and Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients, a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of muss
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
datkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can
tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so
evenly. You Just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy. soft and lux
uriaht and you appear years younger.

TNHE sea of air has been invaded by the
: coast guard, which is developing flying
service as an adjunct to its offshore work.
The main business of the airplanes will be
to search the ocean for ships in distress and
the abandoned craft called "derelicts.'' To
discover the latter as quickly as possible, and
so bring about their prompt destruction, is

they remain afloat, they are menace to
navigation.
Such abandoned hulks, most commonly
dislnasted, are liable to float with their decks
awash, so as not to be easily seen. Some
times they are bottom up, having turned
turtle. Most dangerous of all are water
logged, lumber laden craft, which, by reason
of the solidity and buoyancy of their cargoes,
may stay on top of the water indefinitely.
The most remarkable derelict on record
was the great "Joggins raft" which broke
loose in the North Atlantic in 1885. It con-
sisted of q 900 tree trunks bound together
with chains in cigar shaped mass. Con-
structed at Port Joggins, Nova Scotia, it

that time he had been skeptic In regard to

him in sections a strong but light steel.
cage, for his own safe occupancy while
studying the animals. On his back he car
ried a small tank Of ammonia, with
tubular squirt attached, in order that, in
case of an.unexpected encounter with one of
the ferocious beasts, he might be, able to-
quell him with dash Of the stuff IN the
eye.
/ Around the cage, when it was finally set
up, he placed several mirrors, to which
female gorillas would naturally be attracted.
Tor a further attraction, It WAS intended to
illuminate the interior with electricity, but
the remoteness Of the region rendered this
impracticabls. ,ys .s
Grand Forks herald., 1919-09-29

Eight monographs were SO arranged in
side that the large tin horns attached to
them projected outward through the bars.
Thus, when gorillas approached the cage,
and had any remarks to make of hostile
or, in the case Of a female, an amatory ma
ture, storage batteries controlling the ma
chimes were promptly turned on, and the
words were duly recorded.
By day and night Doctor Garner made
responses to the yells and boots of gorillas
heard in the woods, hoping thereby to draw
them near. They awoke much nocturnal
uproar, the bachelors of the species being
naturally disposed to postpone going to bed
until morning, while the males with families
kept unrestful guard at the feet Of the trees
where, their wives reposed among the
branches in the Intervals of the squalls of
offspring lacking ipecac and soothing syrup.
Inasmuch as the great apes, and even the
lesser monkeys, are provided with speech
organs exactly like our own, they ought
surely to be able to talk. That they do vo-
cally express some ideas is undeniable; but
the same might be said of many other spe-
cies Of animals. A rooster can say, 'Here
is worm" just as plainly as you or I.
Doctor Garner thinks that monkey talk
represents the beginnings Of human Ian
guage. Perhaps 1t does. Who knows?
Grand Forks herald., 1919-09-29

Such an enterprise was up to that time
unheard Of, the object of it being to get the
lumber to market at low cost for trans
portation. The raft started at bad season.
in December, and, after weathering several
gales, ran into terrific hurricane south of
Nantucket. The towing hawsers parted, one
of them actually carrying away part of the
steamers deck, and the raft was set adrift
directly in the path of commerce.
The Navy Department, warned by wire of
the occurrence, sent three ships to hunt for
the raft-to take it in tow if practicable;
otherwise, to blow it up. No raft was found.
however, but only the logs of which it had
been composed, scattered over a wide area
of ocean. 1t was not known how much
danger might threaten from these logs, which
for many months were reported to the
photographic Office at Washington, and for
more than a year the pilot charts published
by that government bureau were speckled
with them.
The Joggins raft was $50 feet long, sixty
five feet wide and thirty eight feet deep,
drawing twenty feet of water when afioat.
Others like it, though smaller, have since
made the same trip safely.
