few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack Of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur 10 keep her
locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of
women and men who value that even
color, that beautiful dark shade Of hair
which is go attractive, use only this old
time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture

a bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound, which darkens the hair go

Just daInpen a sponge or soft brush with

one small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur

WELL BABIES DON'T
CRY AFTER FEEDING
Persistent Vomiting and Crying
Are Signs That Are Not to
be Ignored.

Following is the seventh of series of
articles for the Mothers Column, con-
tributed by the medical consultant of
the State Reconstruction Commission,
and submitted by the commission through
the clearing house OF the Delaware State
Program:
BABY FIRST MoNTH-PARr SEVEN.
Persistent vomiting is sign that is
not to he ignored 1t may mean distur-
bance of a very serious character. OF
course the splitting up OF a mouthful of
milk is not usually of much Importance,
but the vomiting of any great quantity,
is. 1t may mean that the opening or OUT
let of the stomach is smaller than it
should be and the milk cannot flow out
properly. 1t may mean that some constItu-
cnt of the milk does not agree with the
baby, which is serious and should be at
tended TO at once; or it may mean too
rapid feeding, too tight clothing, etc.
In any case, see doctor about 1t.
Crying after feeding is also sign that
is not to be disregarded. A well baby does
not cry after feeding. There are numerous
things that this may indicate, all of them
of sufficient seriousness TO require the ad-
vice OF a doctor. Ii may mean that the
baby is not getting enough milk. The best
way of determining this is to weigh the
baby before and after feeding, dressed
OF course, in the same clothes and see
how much he has gained during the feed
ing. This viii he done for you at any of
tho Child Health Ccnters.
In the next articles we will take up the
question of bottle feeding but first let
me quote few statistics to show again
the difference in the death rates among
breast fed and bottle fed babies.
During the siege of Paris the general
death rate went up, but that of inf ants
Tell 40 per cent. This was due TO the fact
that many mothers were forced to stay
home and nurse their babies, who form
erlv went out during the day. Also, there
was q great shortage OF cows milk and so
nursing was even more necessary. The
same reduction Of infant mortality has
been observed in many places where great
numbers of women have been thrown out
of employment because of strikes, etc.
Therefore. LET me impress upon you the
fact that your baby's life may very easily
depend upon whether or not he is given
the milk that only his mother can supply.
a summary of the preceding articles
may not come amiss here IN the form of
ten ''be sures" for mothers.
L. Be sure your baby's birth is registered
?. Be sure your baby is weighed regu-
larly, not less than,once a week, and an
accurate record kept.
3. Be sure he has daily bath
4. Be sure his room is properly ventila-
ed, lighted and screened
5. Be sure his feeding hours are regular
and not too frequent.
s. Be sure your diet is correct.
z. Be sure your baby gets his full 20
hours sleep.
8. Be sure his stools are the right color
and frequency
9. Be sure his diapers are kept clean.
TO- Be sure to consult doctor as soon
rs any sign of anything abnormal devel-
ops. Don delay, a few days may mean the
difference between life and death.

that ventured back to Bishopstead before

had been timed on false signs or tokens

SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN
HAVE THEIR OWN STYLES
Costumes of Spring Shown in De-
cember Show Silhouette the Rage;
Men Wear Anything.

johannesburg March 10. by Mail
Fashion in clothes in South Africa seems
to be strictly feminine Men wear the
queerest combination of any old things at
all. Half the men of see have a coat,
trousers and vests for different colors.
Smart costumesyou women are every
where. The spr ing fashion-summer
comes in December down here, remember
showed the silhouette the rage.
This was especially true of coats and
skirts, but less pronounced in dresses.
afternoon gowns and evening frocks
show great liking for tunics and flounccs,
tucks and tiny frills, all of which tend to
disturb the simplicity of the silhouette S
straight lines.
Coats of tailored gowns are cut very
straight, and when in sacque shape the
slight fullness there is held in lightly by a
belt. Other designs are cut quite straight,
without any belt, and the slightly semi
fitting coat of the masculine persuasion
Is very popular.
Most of the new skirts are absolutely
straight and quite narrow the average
width being about yard and half at
the hem. The fullness of the waist is
manipulated in various ways. The easi-
est way is in gathers, but box pleats and
soft pleats are almost as popular, This
fullness at the waist helps to give the
effect of a skirt which runs in at the
ankles, and in many Of the new tailormade
costumes this effect is deliberately sought.
Skirts of evening frocks are inclined
to be rather more fussy. They re mostly
made in soft tissues Many evening
frocks are having skirts of Turkish in
spiration, gathered at the hem and turned
up. These are usually in georgette.
Frocks of satin show draped skirts, with
drapery so arranged that it falls full over
the hips and clings around the ankles
TUNES arc often cut full and sometimes
pointed, so that they swing most grace
fully above the narrow under skirt.
