DARKENS HAIR
So NATURALLY
NO ONE KNOWS

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded. gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays. by ask
ing at any drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients. which can
be depended upon 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 it
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 another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.

MOONSHINE LIQUOR
HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR DEATH OF TWO
Plumber Says He Was
Crazed by Whiskey
When He Shot Pair.

Denver, Colo. Oct. 24.-Moonshine
whiskey is blamed for Denver's latest
tragedy by A. II. Mitchell, Denver
plumber, who early yesterday shot and
killed Mrs. Georgia A. Bryan, wife of
an assistant fire chief. and Andrew j.
Sherie, in the bedroom of Sherie's
ranch house.
In his confession to police, Nit
chell told of his mad infatuation for
Mrs. Bryan and of his unrequited
low. Crazed by the liquor, Mitchell
shot and killed the couple. he says,
after Sherie and the woman had en-
tired a room together.
\ telephone call later from the
slain woman's daughter, Grace, asking
Mitchell where her mother could be
found, caused him to seek out his for
mer wife and confess the crime and
surrender, Mitchell said.

If New York state is bad it is
solely because of her evil associates. ="
Governor Smith admits that a state
like q man, is known by the company

it has no means of getting away
from its near neighbors. The gov
ernor agrees with President Coolidge
furthermore that the people of New

REORGANIZATION
WORK BEARS FRUIT
AMONG FOREIGNERS
Three Russians Appear for
First Papers After At
tending School.

That the work of Americanization
classes among the foreign-born popu-
lation of San Antonio has prac-
teal as well as theoretical value was
demonstrated at the United States
district clerks office, Tuesday after
noon. when three young Russians,
members of the Americanization class
conducted at 200 Marshall STREET. I'M
der the auspices of the Council of
Jewish Women. filed their declara-
tons of intention to becom citizens
of the United States, and renowned
allegiance TO the present government
OF Russia.
According to Miss Helen Bernstein,
who. with Miss Stella Ellison, con-
duets the Americanization class, and
who appeared with the three young
aliens at the clerks office. Tuesday
afternoon, there will be four more
members Of the class who will re-
nounce allegiance TO foreign powers
within the next few days.
No one of the three young Rus
SLAMS has been in the United States
over four months. Two Of them re-
sided for short time in Mexico
prior 10 coming to this country, and
Tue lullu Culllc NlTtCllA 10 view IbI n
from Russia. Two arrived in this
country in August Of this year. and
the other came in the early part Of
July.
The noteworthy thing about these
three cases, according to Charles f..
Tucker, naturalization examiner. is
that it constitutes proof that Ameri-
caniZatiOn classes. by familiarizing the
alien with the fundamentals of our
government and impreSsing upon him
the responsibilities as well as the priv
ileges Of residence within its terri
torial limits. stimulate a desire in the
alien to himself become a part of the
government
If it were not for Americanization
classes, it was explained, an alien
would ordinarily reside in this coun-
try for several years before he would
file his declaration of intention to be-
come citizen of this country.
With AmericanizatiOn CLASSES func-
tioning among the foreign-born Gle
ments of this city. it was explained,
the alien is not only aroused to the
desire to assume the responsibilities
of citizenship within the shortest pos
slble time, but at the same time is pre-
pared for citizenship in so thorough
a manner that in many cases. he is
| more familiar with the constitution
than a native-bOrn. American.

Doctor Proves Nemesis.
DR.. Walter Prince. of PHYSICAL re-
search fame, VINO exploded the ghost
of Antagonist into thin blue air, has
once more proved himself the nemesis
Of those who would trifle with the
spirit world. DIR. Prince is a sort OF
guardian of the portals of the beyond
and it is just as difficult to get by
him as it is to pass through the eye

Science is a very material thing.
All prospective mediums should take
notice of this fact. When science
can detect n difference of three-ten-
thousandths of all inch in the thick
ness of piece of paper it is time
for. the royal order. of mediums to
rise up and protest. That is the
margin by which Mrs. JOsi Stewart

The commonest form of objective
of phenomena is spirit-writing. And
the commonest form of spirit-writing
is done with two states placed face
to face. Mrs. Stewart, however, had
n brand new idea. She said she had
been able to produce messages from
the other world on bits of cardboard.
All she needed fer the spirits to write
was rose petals or other blossoms
