BLACK BASS ATTACKS BIRD

Lake Wales. Fla, Nov. 10.-Black
bass in the vicinity of Lake Wales

according to Milton Henry, farmer.
living near here. Henry advises all
women with feathers on their hats to
keep away from a large lake that con-
stitutes a part of his farm He de-,
clares this story to be true:
While blowing out sweet potatoes
a few days ago he heard the cries of a
bird and considerable splashing in the
water near shore. His quick attention
revealed that a black bass had leaped
from the water and grabbed a black
bird sitting on a reed bent just over
the lakes surface. The bird had been
dra gged into the water and was
struck by the fish several times before
Henry waded to its rescue. The bird
later died and the farmer exhibited it
to his friends to sabstantiate his story.

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
LuStre to Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get a bottle of ''Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur Compound at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
