COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and
 Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in gradients large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" thus avoiding lot of muss
 While gray, faded hair is not sin full, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so evenly. You must dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another ap- plication or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Advertisement

While Jack Dempsey was receiving congratulations from all over the country the day after the fight we could not help but think what a lucky guy he was after all. Great as Dempsey is, we are inclined to be- lieve that if fate had not been kind , to him in that second round of his fight with Georges Carpenter, the heavyweight championship would now be nestling firmly in the grasp of the French scrapper, Just one blow away from the title. That was the cruel trick fate played on the blonde contender.
 If Georges Carpenter had had a companion shot to the one he blazed through to Jacks jaw in that second round, we believe that the French man would now be enjoying all that is Dempsey's. Georges had sent in all he had with that wallop but he had nothing left when the American champion went reeling 1t happened that the Frenchman had nothing in reserve and left the Yankee practi- cally in possession of the situation.
 Notwithstanding all that Dempsey and Kearns are now saying to the contrary that punch landed by the F'renchman shook Dempsey from his heels to his head. Of course, we do not believe that the wallop had the champion in a dangerous position, but we do believe that another blow like it. delivered to the same spot, would have upset Dempsey and per haps robbed him of his title,
 No one has as yet been able to topple Dempsey off his pins, but that punch of the Frenchman's surely made him rock Kearns, the man ager of the champion, said that 1 Dempsey never felt the punch. "Why the champion was surprised when I ! told him that the Frenchman had nailed him on his return to his cor. ner"
 "Yes, indeed, Jack thought I was kidding and told me that he did not know anything about the much-dis- cussed wallop," said Kearns.
 However, there were many thou, sands sitting in at the pastime who saw the Frenchman drive that famous right hand clean to the champions jaw and they also saw the champion stagger. It was the most exciting period of the fight out side of the knockout. Those thou
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-07-12

sands were on their feet expecting to see the Frenchman unbucide an other left and gradually sank down to defeat under the bitter wallops of his antagonist. Just one more punch and Carpenter might have been the champion of the world to- day.
 Divided over knockout Punch
 The jam is on in earnest about what punch Dempsey employed to knock out his challenger. Opinions are just as divided as ever. It al ways happens after every big cham pionship fight. A group of experts were hard at it the next day ex- plainng the punch that Jack used to defeat the Frenchman.
 While several contended that a right hand punch to the jaw did the trick, there were others who stuck to the belief that Dempsey nailed Georges with brace of body punches to drop his man Personally, we be lieve that Jack grabbed his man with left hook to the wind and a terrible right hand smash right be low the heart There might have been a right to the jaw in the show CT of blows near the end, but from the manner in which Carpenter fell, it would appear that he. crumpled and fell in a heap from the body drives.
 If Dempsey had nailed the French man with a hard right on the chin, it is more than likely that his vic tim would have fallen back instead of folding up like a jackknife. How ever, the discussion is on and prom ises to wax warm before it is all over.

IMITATION FISH
 BAIT IS MADE IN
 TACOMA FACTORY

TACOMA. July 12.-Fowls of the barnyard, birds of the air and ami mals of the forest furnish material for making imitation flies that fish ermen use to hook trout and other elusive game fish.
 There is located here one of the few concerns that manufacture flies. It is disclosed that one of the most popular flies among fishermen is made from the hair from the tail of skunk and from the tail of a noun tain deer, hackle from the neck of a Rhode Island Red rooster and feathers from a White Leghorn hen, New Guinea hen, a goose and a Missouri pigeon.
 It is an art to make an imitation fly but experienced workers can turn out eight dozen of them in a day.

There have been all kinds of ar ticles on the recent Dempsey-Car- pentier fight at Jersey City, but the two printed today are by two men who give different versions which are well worth the reading. One is by well known sporting writer for the special service of the Chi cago Tribune and New York Times The other article is by a former champion. Here are the articles, speaking for themselves:
 By JAMES J. CoR6ETT
 Old, old story. A good big man whips a good little man. Carpen- tier today, although defeated, proved he was positively no false alarm.
 His friends do not need to be ashamed of him and his country can well be proud of him, because as an ex-champion of the world, l can truthfully say that he is one of the swiftest and gamest light heavy weights that I have ever seen in my life. He was licked by Dempsey be- cause Dempsey was a bigger and stronger man.
 Carpenter Got Tired
 Carpenter got tired, that was all. He lost his strength and punch be- cause he could not rough it with Dempsey or stand up against a man of Dempsey's type, who hits hard with both hands and especially at close quarters.
 In the first round it looked about even. In the second round Carpen- tier had Dempsey groggy without any question of doubt with right, hand punch to the jaw and it looked like Dempsey was a licked man.
 After this Carpenter got tired and couldn't stand the strain of rough ing it with Dempsey. From that time on, it was all Dempsey. It was just a question of how long Carpen- tier could go. All the reports about Dempsey not being in condition proved untrue. The champion show ed that he was a champion. He came back strong after being groggy in the second round He went through the storm and came out of it very gracefully.
 Dempsey Hard to Beat
 When Dempsey is right it would take some man to beat him.
 His short punches are terrific, and he proved he is game and cool un- der fire.
 Although he had a close call, espe- cially if Carpenter had been little bit heavier and could have kept up the pace he started in the second round, you would have seen some fight, although as it was it was very good.
 Dempsey is champion. He's a reg ular champion. Good luck to him.
 Crowd We'll Paid
 The crowd, I think, was well paid for all the trouble it took in getting over to this monster arena, and es. pecially when they think of what a
