LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandrna's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on tina.
dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other In
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

IRISH POLICE A
BRITISH PROBLEM
Weekly Paper Published
To Keep Up Morale
OF Force

DUBLIN, Oct. THE Importance
attached by the government to the
maintenance of the morale of the
. Irish police is shown by the fact
ethat it has taken the unprecedented
step of publishing a newspaper call
ed the Weekly Summary for circula-
ton in all the police barracks. Three
numbers have already appeared and
been distributed to the police. 1t
contains bright and striking editori-
ais, eulogizing the force, and assur-
ing them of support in their trying
situation.
The designations from the Royal
Irish Constabulary and the additional
pressure of patrol work have led to
the recruitino of large numbers of
men in England, principally former
soldiers attracted by the high wages.
Tbe attitude of Sim Fem toward
them is one of extreme bitterness,
while the old members of the force
are more favorably looked on, and
attempts are made to induce them
to resign.
The new men could not be provided
with the ordinary police uniform
and have had to be content with a
uniform partly police and partly mil
itary This has earned them the
nickname of the "Black and Tans."
The Weekly Summary has special en-
couragement for them. Extracts
from it have been published IN the
Dublin newspapers one of which says
that "The Black and Tans will go on
with their iob-the job of making
Ireland once again safe for the law
abiding and an appropriate hell for
those whose trade is agitation and
whose method is murder" This eX-
hortation is denounced in the Ma
tionalist Press as an encouragement
to the reprisals which provoked the
condemnation of General Macready.
Another editorial comment in the
police organ referring to hunger
strikers in the prisons says: "Those
who plot and participate in the mur
der of policemen, who are only doing
their lawful duty must not expect
much sympathy when they are caught
and get the punishment they richly
deserve"
The Irish government has now APP

journalists as their means of COM
municating to the press accounts of
outrages and statements of the atti-

HEADGEAR IN BRIGHT COLoRS

yellow is seen principally in millinery
shops and in shop windows. 1t is
striking, and when becoming should
be very smart indeed. A vivid cOlored
hat topping dark street suit or frOck
is unquestionably chic.
1t is interesting to observe that the
all-feather toques that have been worn
for several seasons are with us again,
unchanged as far as shape and general
appearance is concerned. AS always
they are finding purchasers.
Hand painting on velvet is a very
smart trimming touch employed this
season. The design may be as color
full and unusual as fancy dictates.
Imagine peacock feathers, in their nat
ural colors, painted across the upper
brim of big black velvet hat, or gOr-
geous butterflies in various sizes and
cOlOrs similarly placed.
Ostrich is recorded as one of the
much used trimmings. Uncurled or
"glycerined" effects, as well as curled
plumes and tips, are employed.
