TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkentng 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 youth full appearance :s of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at homo. 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 or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears. but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that. besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft 1ustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive Adv.

Motor D.fect Was Responsible For
 Wild Adventure

New York, Aug. 23.-A motor de- feet that stopped the engine while the seap1ane was two miles off shore, compelling it to alight upon the wind tossed seas, brought wild adventure to the two airmen and passenger on board the Ambassador ", it was re- vealed yesterday in an authorized statement issued by Major Bernard L. Smith of the Aeromarine company, Inc.
 There were three persons-a pas senger and two airmen-on the Ann bassador w when it was forced into the ocean during round trip from S1st street to Fire Island on Sunday. The trio were rescued by a fishing smack and landed at Long Beach, L.. T., after virtually being given up for dead.
 The account of Major Smith fol- lows, in part:
 "The crew and passenger of the aeromarine flying boat Ambassador " reported missing off Fire Island lightship Sunday afternoon were land ed at Long Beach Sunday evening by a small fishing schooner.
 Captain Miller, pilot of the flying boat, reports that in sightseeing flight along the Long Island shore he circ1ed southward in the direction of Fire Island, a distance of four or five miles and started in the direction of Far Rockaway when, at an altitude of about 1900 feet his motor stopped.
 "This was about 9:15 a. m. Sunday and he was forced to land two miles off the shore of Long Beach.
 t'The seas were running about 25 feet, because of the high wind and Miller began immediately to secure the ship by putting out the anchor and distributing oil
 Riding to the sea anchor the plane rode lightly on the waves without taking any water and drifting with the wind until about 1880 in the aft ernoon they sighted a small fishing schooner about a mile off. To attract the attention of the fishermen, Captain Miller fired several signal lights.

 On December 2S, last year, Keeler sent a check for $75.6S to register five cars owned by the laundry com pany, but it was not until January 16 that he paid the requested addi- tional fees of $22.32 and the certifi- cate of registration was issued week later, January 23. the day on which one of Keelers cars was badly dam aged. The attorney general says the petitioner must have known it was illegal to operate the car after mid night of December 31 and that in case of accident he would be without remedy.

WAL TON BRANDED
SOCIALIST HERE
Melton Says VIII Vote for Demo
cratic Candidates Running on
Demo Platform, Says Walton
"Bolted" Democracy.

Urging the election of every dem
ocratic nominee who stands irrevo-
cably upon the democratic platform
adopted by the democratic party in
convention in Oklahoma City last
August, but recommending the de-
feat of j. C. Walton, whom he
branded as socialist running on
the Shawnee platform, Alger Melton,
local attorney spoke to an audience
of both democrats and republicans
W hich filled the district court room
of the county court house last night.
81 believe in democratic principles,
stand upon the democratic plat
form adopted by the democrats at
the Oklahoma City convention, and
shall vote for every democratic
nominee who stands with me on that
platform" Mr.. Melton said. ,C
makes no difference who is elected
governor of this state, whether
Fields or Walton, after the election
will still be found ON that plat
form fighting for the democratic
party.
Il am not 'bolter'; no man who
stands on his party platform and
fights for its principles can be
called bolter' Walton 'bolted' the
democratic party when he refused
to stand on it's platform and wave
its banner. When he kept his stand
on the Shawnee platform and waived
the banner of the League, he quit
the democratic party"
Mr.. Melton branded the Shawnee
platform as "sugar-coated socialism" /"
IF democrats defeat Walton they
will save their party name, main
tain it's integrity, uphold its princi-
pies and insure its future success"
he declared.
Mr.. Melton was introduced by J.
A. Hyndman. The complete text of
his address will be published tomor-
row by the Constitutional Democrat
ic club of Grady county, Scott
Jones, secretary, said today.
