OF FAKE MURDER

Residents OF Minquadale Terrace
and vicinity are greatly agitated
again today over a strange but fic-
titious story OF murder told by
John String. a supposed mentally
unbalanced Negro. Last night. for
| the second time within three days,
String was in communication with
other Negroes telling a weird tale
OF a murder committed by himself.
In each instance the statement has
been found untrue. He only op-
pears in the evening and disappears
as suddenly as he appears. The
residents about Minquadale Terrace
fear he will make some effort to
put into execution an example of
his gruesome tales.
He first appeared Monday even

of Howard Eliason. farmer by
whom he was recently employed.
Last evening he again appeared,
telling OF imaginary violence tow

when he was visited on Monday
evening by residents who had come
to his home 10 offer coincidence and
assistance 10 the family OF the sup

the visitors at his door. They were
surprised to learn that no attack
had been made an Mr.. Eliason.
The Negro had visited the home !
of Mr. Ellason and secured a watch |
he had left there. but was in a
peaceful mood. according to his
former employer. Mr.. Eliason said |
the Negro had given the name of
John String. when he entered his
employ last spring. The Negro, un-

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease,

Where It's Needed

Jacksonville, Sept. 23.-The ma
tional convention of the American
Legion to be held in New Orleans
next moth will be asked by the Flor
ida delegation to go on record as
being in favor Of distribution of i'm
migration in the country. A resolu-
ton asking congress to provide for
such distribution as drafted at q
meeting here today of members Of
the executive committee post COM
manders and adjutants.
If adopted by the national conven-
ton congress would be requested TO
enact immigration laws asking that
the newcomer to this country would
be placed in sections for which his
training suits him. This with a view
to having more immigrants as cult
vators of the land rather than crowd
ing them in industrial districts. The
committee in charge of the exhibits
which the Florida department plans
to take to New Orleans reported that
$4,000 in cash and $4,000 in prod
ucts had been received A feature of
the advertising scheme will be orange
laden donkeys to participate in the
mammoth parade.
The Florida Legislature will be urg-
ed and its next session to provide for
a burial fund for INDECENT war vet
Grams, according to a resolution adopt
by the meeting. Numerous instances
were cited where former soldiers
died penniless and We're buried by the
legion. The burden is too heavy for
the legion to carry, the resolution
