FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe
Of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre. or
when II fades, turns gray, dull and
lfeless is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful and
thousands Of women ana men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade Of hair which is so attractive. use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other in
gradients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle Of "Wyeuh's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell II has been ap-
piled. You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair. taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hair disap-
pears; but what delights the ladies' with
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compouno
Is that, besides beautifully darkenins
the hair after few applications. II also
brings back the gloss and lustre ana
gives 1t an appearance of abundance

STORIES OF FAMOUS SONGS
"n;visv

One Of the conditions under
which Daniel d. Emmett had been
engaged as part OF the celebrated
"Bryant's Minstrels', then playing
in Bryant's Hall, New York City.
was that he would write a new
"walk-around" or "hooray' ior the
show, whenever required to do so.
He was walking home one Sat-
urday night after the show when
he was overtaken by Jerry Bryant.
Can you fix up new 'hooray'
for rehearsal next Monday" asked
Bryant.
Mr.. Emmett replied that it was
short notice, but he'd 40 his best.
So all the next day, Sunday, he
worked, and on Monday, promptly
at rehearsal time, he vas ready
with the new "walk-around"-our
now famous song, Dixie.
Dixie, which was originally
called Dixie Land, became fa-
vorite Immediately. 1t was dedi-
Gated as a Southern war song, and
this, perhaps, is the reason many
believe it to be of Southern origin.
Records, however, fail to show that
Mr.. Emmett ever lived in the
South. He was born in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, on October 90, 1915,
and died in 1904.

be designated to represent the United
States.
This announcement came tonight

PARIS, October 9.-Lack of time
available for the trip between now

ever, that failure of the British war
office either to fix a date for the cere-
mony, or. until late yesterday, to
give any explanation for not reply
ing to repeated inquiries from the
American embassy officials. is the
chief reason for Gen. Pershing's de-
cision.

COMMENT Is DECLINED.
Generals Order Referred to France
Alone.

Oticials of the State and War de-
partments today declined TO comment
on the report that Gen. Pershing will
return to the United States without
stopping in London to place the con-
gressional medal Of honor on the gray q
OF the unknown British soldier in West
minister Abbey, except to say thai
they saw no discourtesy on the part
of the British government in falling
to fix a date for the ceremony in tb
short time intervening before Gen.
Pershing leaves for home"
Just before Gen. Pershing sailed
for Europe, September IA, the War
Department issued statement say
ing that "the President is sending :
Gen. John J. Pershing to France as
bearer of the medal of honor au-
thoriZed by Congress for the French
unknown soldier dead" There was
no mention in the statement of Gen.
Pershlng's going to England on Il
similar errand.
Secretary Weeks today explained
that arrangements had been pre-
viously made with the French gov
eminent for the ceremonies to take
place in Paris on a certain date, but
that no such arrangements had then
been concluded with the British au-
thorities.
