A solid piece Of history is for sale,
the site in Thames street, next to
Cannonstreet station, Of the City Of
London Brewery. known since the
days of Queen Elizabeth as the only
brewery in the city of London. The

the year. There are proofs in various
ancient documents and archives of the
brewery that 1t was fiourishing in 1880.
Stow mentions it. The Calverts, a
family of brewers celebrated in the
annals of the trade for the quality
of their porter, were the most notable
men who brewed beer with Thames
water on that site. In 1760, Sir VIII
liam Calvert was the fourth brewer
in London, and Calvert and Seward, Of
Whitecross street, were the first, the
former brewing 81, 7S5 barrels, and the
latter 74,704 barrels in that year. Lit
tie of the old buildings remain save
an old mill loft and part of the
wall of the Watermen's hall. which
had been burnt down in the fire Of
London in 1865, rebuilt On the site Of
the Allhallowes church. and after
ward Incorporated with Calverts. At
the end of the eighteenth century i'm
pOrtant additions and alterations were
made and some of the walls of the
present buildings date from 17T2.

Gas Warfare on Rats.

The chemical warfare service has
recently demonstrated that rats can
be killed with poison gas. A mixture
containing 80 per cent of phosgene
and 40 of chlorine was used. This
was allowed 10 escape over an area
Of 900 square feet. Fifteen rats were
on the area, and they all died from
the effect of the deadly poisonous
gases.
They were killed at a cost Of 40
cents. Within Is minutes the phos-
gene had dissipated, while the chlor-
inc gas required 80 minutes to difruse
beyond the danger point In view Of
the millions Of dollars loss caused
yearly by these pests. any means Of
destroying them is welcome.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

- Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which Is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for 'fWyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-t time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger
