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 ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a
large. bottle Of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, at very little cost. Every
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does 1t
10 naturally and evenly. You dampen
q 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 o look years
younger.

German Emperor Expected

{By The Associated Press.,.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-"Dld England de-
nberately dupe Germany into delay
ing mobilization by tentatively indicat-
ing that she would observe neutrality
in the event that Germany desisted
from a naval attack on the north
coast Of France?"
This Impression is recorded by Lieu
tenant General Count Won Moltke. in
ono Of the critical chapters of his
memoirs now Issued by his widow,
the appearance Of which has been
keenly awaited in view Of Nth role
he played in the early days of mob
~il.zation and in German defeat on the
Marine.
ION the day of mobilization" says
the memoirs, a dispatch arrived
from London in which It was stated
that England obligated herself to as
sumo the defense iof the French coast
against possible German naval attack.
The kaiser asked my opinion where
upon I replied that j could have no
scruples against guaranteeing that no
such attack was contemplated, II
England pledged herself to remain
neutral.
1T was my opinion that the war
against France would be decided on
land and that we could we'll dispense
with naval operations II that was to
be the price Of English neutrality. OBJ
viously this dispatch represents Eng
lands first attempt to dupe US, at
least to the extent Of prompting US
to delay our mobilization"
Blames Russia for War.
Won Moltke charges Russia with
having enkindled the war. inasmuch
as she well knew that Germany could
not permit the destruction of her Aus
tro-Hungarian ally. The German gen.
eral stat, he asserts, had long since
taken war on two fronts into its cal
culations. Plans evolved by Field
Marshal Won Schlieffen, chief Of the
general staff, provided for the In.
vasion Of Belgium as It vas common

tie could not be forced without VIC,
lating Belgium neutrality.
''Our information Indicated" con.

determined to entrench herself in 9

force us to conduct a LONG and weari'
some trench and position campaign

Opposition OF President Harding to

Some administration leaders. in the

bring on q fight which would test the
power Of the progressive faction.
Too Many Changes. Il
White House officials in presenting

life as he lived it was somewhat weari-

until he came to the portals Of the Church
of the Holy Trinity. He stopped before

tinued his contemplations.
The world weary young society man
and sportsman looked about him. He saw
men he had seen before, but they were in
a new light. His ears picked up the dron

thought:

After the service was ended and the con-

Biddle did thing that was unusual in that
church He sought one of the attendants
and requested that he be allowed to speak
to the rector. OF course he was permitted
to. The rector was the Rev. DR. Floyd w.

1t seemed that almost in a day
Mr.. Drexel Biddle, from being
leader Of Holy Trinity class alone,
became president and founder of a
great confederation of Bible classes
numbering many thousands.
Naturally there was need for
money. Generally when a move
ment of this sort gets under way
there is loud call for direct phil
anthropic aid and "a campaign for
raising funds. But Mr.. Drexel
Biddle knew his field. He knew a
better way to raise money, and his
genius for organization and promo
tion came into fine employment.
He staged concert in the grand
ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel in Philadelphia and charged
SIS seat. All Philadelphia society
and many from out of town at
tended the concert, and the initial
funds for the furtherance of the
work of the worldwide Drexei

His concert was master stroke
of management. He arranged to
have two of the most beautiful
women in America sing. They must
have had great vocal gifts, Of course,
but the principal point was that
they were beautiful and popular.

Biddle capitulated at
the start and handed
himself over to the

confessed he didn't

tell him how it was
