They Travelled up for day and
that night they pitched their tents.
ate their supper and went to bed.
The next day they went on up
the mountain and as they were go

the rocks began to slide.
The boys went with it until
Frank caught hold of a STRIPPING
and yelled to Roland John, Maur-
ice and Billy, Catch hold OF my
feet"
After the stones and dirt had
quit falling, they made their way
to the path, and pitched tents, all
! except Frank, who, when he caught
hold of the STRIPPING, broke his
arm
The boys fixed his arm in
splnt and went to bed The next
morning Frank had to 60 home to a

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 its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
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out-of-date.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 a bottle of ''Wyeths
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 it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at 2. time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it 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. It is not intended for
the cure, amitigation or prevention of
disease.

WORTH MILLION

That Why Bachman S
Band Bears Its I'm

Saws the advance agent concern
ing the Million-Dollar band, which
will auepar here Friday night at the
High school auditorium under the
auspices of the local post, Ameri-
can Legion:
Everyone wants to know how
Harold Bachman's band came to be
known as The Million-Dollar band.
Mr.. Bachman tells the story as fol
lows;
"Tt was on Christmas day, 1917,
that the 10th Engineers band was
doing its best to cheer up the lone
some soldiers of the 41st division
who were spending their first Christ
mas away from home. General
Hunter j. Liggett was the guest OF
honor at a celebration for the men
at which this band was furnishing
most of music Noting the cheering
effect which the music had on the
men. the general paid close atten-
+ion to the programs which Director
Rachman had arranged especially for
Christmas day. At the close of one
number General Liggett's chief OF
staff came to the band and after
presenting Une CoiiiipiiliCtlVa -
general to the band said: General
Tiggett wishes me to inform you that
in all his forty-one years of expert
enee he has never heard a bette
hand in the American Army TINS
compliment must have inspired the
band members to even greater Ell
forts. for after the next number,
General Liggett turned to Colonel
Walker, commander of the 1l6th
Engineers and exclaimed Colonel.

''The compliment seemed 10
please the officers of the regiment
nearly rs much as the band mem
hers. They BEGAN to talk of their
'Million-Dollar Band and the name
stuck until the organization became
known by that name whenever 1t ap-
neared."
A good MANY people have said the
same thing about this band since
General Liggett first nick-named it.
