TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
IF Mixed With Sulphur
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is
very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb OF, a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few ap-
plications, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive.

FOR THE WINDOWS AND BEDS
Simple Curtains and Quilts Add to the
Beauty and Cheerfulness
Of the Home.

Unbleached cotton makes pretty cur
tains and bedspreads.
Two widths of the fabric can be
used for a double-size bedspread, and
one-half for valance. This may be
made plain or gathered. Bands may
be sewed on the lower edge Of valance,
and also on the seams. Pillow shams
trimmed to match are attractive.
There is nothing very new In plain
white scrim curtains, but trim them
with pink, blue, green or yellow block
bingham, and you will have unusually
pretty draperies.
The same idea carried out in bu-
reau scarfs is very good.
Linen-colored crash banded with
chambray make very pretty dining
room draperies.
When hemming curtains pull several
threads, just as is done for hemstitch-
ing. This will make it easier to cut
, and hem them evenly.
It must be borne in mind that in
order to obtain artistic and restful
rooms plain colored or bordered cur
tains should be used with figured
wallpaper Especially large) designs.
On the other hand large-fgured
draperies can be used very effectively
with plain wall covering.

LIKE DYED LACES
Vogue for Color in Every Type Of
Feminine Garment.
Decoration Is Being Generously Used
' for the High Lights Of
the Costume.

It may sound at first like painting
the lily to talk about dyed lace, but
in the tremendous vogue for brilliant
color in every type of feminine gar
ment it is not bit surprising. After
the first shock it is pleasant, in fact,
to see a georgette blouse, for instance,
in what is called new" blue yelling,
an underblouse of tomato red filet lace
allowed to show in the front In filet
fashion.
Lace is being used extensively for
the high lights Of the costume. It ap-
pears, for example, in silver to tighten
upsa frock OF navy blue georgette. The
stif silver lace encircles the hips, CIV
ing the fashionable outstanding line,
and is yelled by just one layer Of the
soft georgette. 1t edges the neck and
short sleeves Of the same frock.
Cafe au lait Lyons lace is used as a
foil in a blouse which is lined with
black chiffon and has a girdle Of black
net tying in bow at the back. One
Of the loveliest Of evening gowns is
entirely of gray lace with the newt
able bright color touch in the orange
ostrich pompon at one side.
Perhaps tilet lace lends itself best
to dyeing, but all the fine laces are no
exception to the new ruling. Some
times several laces are combined on
one blouse. Filet lace dyed bright
orange. for example, makes founces
ever the shoulders Of a shadow lace
blouse dyed brown with sleeves of net
in the same dark brown.
To tighten up the darker laces, the
navy blue, black and brown tinsel rib,
bons are used Little folded flowers
Of it, tiny bows and narrow twisted
Girdles, all serve to add to the dressi-
ness Of the dyed lace blouse or frock.
Beads, too, are being used to bring out
the richness of dyed lace. Often they
contrast with the lace, repeating the
deep color of the chiffon lining or they
work out the pattern Of the lace it.
self. Metal threads are also used to
bring out the lace pattern from its
dusky background. Where whole
blouse of lace would be too thin and
delicate to top the suit skirt, jumper
blouses are made of velvet on silk
duvetyn to bring the dyed laciness
down to earth.

EriIIy Little Ruches.

Lots of ruches are being used on
the frilly type of frock, for they seem
to 20 so well with taffeta, and one
frock not only stiffened it's tulle over
skirt and flowing sleeves with tiny
ruches of taffeta. but tufted the skirt
quite closely with tiny rosettes Of the
same.

BURROUGHS: 0lD.TIME NATURALIST

Old John BurrOughS-his beard is
long and white these days-migrated
across the country the other day from
Slabsides to Pasadena. OF course he
had to change trains ut Chicago, and
large group of his admirers met him ut
a dinner in a North Shore hotel-the
dinner being spread in sunken gar
den. surrounded by wood and
warmed by log fire.
And what DO you think? The old
fellow boasted that he had never
drank coffee or smoked. Now good
many good people believe that the man
who has never drank strong, black,
hot coffee right off the campfire has
missed something. He may live six
months or year longer, but it isn't
worth the price. And the man who
can't light uN fine, ripe, Missouri
meerschaum in the woods and find 1t
the crowning touch Of the wilderness
feats-why. there's something the mat
ter with him. But that's John Bur-

HOG CHOLERA APPEARS

NJ. L. Zurkow, veterinary Inspector
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Indus
try, stationed at Dover, makes this
statement:
"Hog cholera is again appearing in
several sections of the State with indi-
cations that it will spread unless
prompt measures are taken to prevent
it. By applying reasonable sanitary
measures in the hog pens and feed lots
and by proper and timely vaccination of
the hogs this very fatal disease of swine
can be very easily checked and fully 80
per cent. of the losses eliminated. Vac
cination by the simultaneous method
has yielded excellent results last year
and can be relied upon to safely and ef-
ficiently protect hogs against cholera.
"Some people in this State are preju-
diced against hog vaccination, believing
that it affects the meat, rendering the
same unfit for food. This is not true.
Vaccination of hogs is harmless as the
material used is only blood from a
healthy hog and the process of vaccina-
ton is practically blood TRANSMISSION.
The entire process of anti-hog cholera
serum making is under government
supervision and nothing is overlooked
in making the product safe and re-
liable preventive of hog cholera.
"With the situation as it is now, we
advise all farmers who live in the
neighborhood. of cholera outbreaks to
lose no time and have their hogs vacci-
mated. The farmers can greatly assist
the government and State forces to
step losses from cholera by reporting
promptly all cases of sick swine to
Doctor Zurkow, the federal veterinarian
at Dover, or to the State veterinarian
in Wilmington. Investigations will be
made free Of CHARGE"

May Stop Road Work

Unless supplies of cement and stone
are received within the next two weeks,
all State highway work will likely be
stopped. This is the situation as it
stands now, but the members of the
State Highway Commission are hoping
against hope that some lucky stroke of
fortune will bring them sufficient cars
of supplies to keep the highway work
going. Just now there is really little
progress being made. Many stretches
of road have been opened and made
ready for the top covering and in the
meantime these sections Of road are
cut off from travel. In desperation the
Highway Commission appealed to Gam
BILE Latrobe, superintendent of the
Southern Grand Division of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Mr.. Latrobe has
taken up with the Interstate Commerce
Commission certain details of car rout-
ing, which would result in supplies be-
ing ordered here. The argument he is
using is that the life of zoo, 900 persohs
are concerned in these roads and not
the business of any single corporation.

Booths galore dot the grounds each

African Dodgers" nut or knocking the
Baby Puppets over, to young folks re-
yelling in the Confection Department,
