WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy

Of other ingredients. called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t IS
very popular because nobody can dis

moisten your comb or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the. gray hair dis

and appearance OF abundance, which
Is SO attractive.

Must be a Progressive.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.,. June 25.-A
progressive Of progessives" must be
the democratic nominee for president
this year, Josephus Daniels, secretary
OF the navy, declared in an interview
today.
Anything else would be destruc'
tion," he said.
The platform, Daniels said, must be
one "of idealism and social progress"
and he predicted the democratic con-
yention will turn its back on the re
dictionaries"
THE ultra radical Of 1896 has be-
come the conservative Of today" the
secretary maintained We must go
forward"
1.-THE people should NOT be deceived
by the cry that tho nation must re-
turn to normal What the reaction
aries mean by this is that we must re-
turn to long hours and low wages That
day is past"
Daniels was the guest Of Mayor
Snyder at breakfast this morning and
then left for San Pedro to inspect the
site for the proposed new submarine
base. He will leave for San Francisco
as soon as the inspection Is complet-
ed, aboard the flagship New Mexico.
