EASY TO 'DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea
 and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell. because it's done so naturally. so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At>little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft, brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears, 'and. after another application or two. becomes beautifully darkencd, glossy and sluxurfant.
 Gray. faded hair, though no dis grace. Is a sign of old age. and as we all desife a youthful and attrac~ tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. s''s''a''s' .--( Advsrtise1nent.) D <

INSECTS GREAT
 FOREST MENACE

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.-The l protection of forests and forest pro
 ducts from insects is of scarcely less
 importance than their protection from
 fire. says the Forest Service, Unit
 cd States Department of Agriculture, ;, i'll a statement issued here. Losses ] due to insect attacks upon living ] trees and crude, finished and utiliz- ed forest products. are estimated by
 the Forest Service at s15.oOO.ooo an- lnually.
 l Tho Western pine bettlc, the gypsy
 moth. the chestnut blight and the
 white pine blister fnst are the most
 damaging of the insects anu diseases
 which are now attacking Che trees and forest prolucts. according 10 the Forest Service.
 "By farf,hc most serious menace of disease to forest crops at the present time lies in the imported epi- demic." states the Forest Service. 'The chestnut blight. imported from
 Eastern Asia on nursery stock in ] the early nineties, has all but ex- f terminated this useful tree through ' out the northern range. Quantities of foreign nursery stock, the only
 effective means of preventing such ' diseases, have only recently been put 1 in force The most important exam pie Of this type of disease is the
 white pine blister rust. Introduced 1 from Europe within the last twenty years, it is now widespread through the northern range of the Eastern
 white pine, and has recently been found extensively in British Columbia, and, to a limited extent in Washing ton on the western white pine. The very existence of the western white and sugar pine forests is threat ened.

CONSTANCE B1NNEY AT COLISEUM TONIGHT.

Seldom has been seen such mar vicious character deliniation as thai portrayed by the adorable Constance Binney in. the Realart picture, "The Case of Beckey." which opens at the Coliseum tonight. In it she essays the dual personality of Dorothy Stone the heroine of Edward Lockes play fin which Frances Starr scored hii under the direction of David Belascc several years ago.
 Dorothy is the unwilling protege of Balzamo, professional hypnotis' with travelling show, whose cruelty brought about the death of hen snasthess s.ss Shsss runs. away and ,. is later succored by a kindly old lady and her, son, John Arnold. It is only natural that he should fall in love with the charming little ward and she with him. But one day, like light 1ing flash, sudden change comes oyer. her and from the lovable, con ffling sweetheart she becomes Bro zen, fiendish imp who calls herself Becky. These changes are only tenn porary.. but one never knows when they will take place.
 .sThe Arnolds place her in the care Of Dr. Emerson, an eminent psycholo gist and hypnotist who works dili- gently to effect cure.
 sBalzamo at last locates Dorothy at the doctors sanitarium and demands that she be turned over to him, claim ting that she is his daughter. The doctor has no other recourse, but when his suspicious are aroused. he determines to make bold test. Then follows one of the most dramatic se- quences ever enacted, wherein the two hypnotists fight unique duel. Both Dorothy and John are present during the test of power, and the fin al outcome is not only satisfactory to them but the audience as well, for it is a tense and dramatic situation which keeps one keyed up tofthe highest pitch.

 The theme of the play is human nature itself: and as the story de velops, it unfolds group of people bitterly quarrelsome and at odds with one another.
 Caught by cloudburst, they arc gathered in a cellar cafe. and the conviction is brought home to them fhat they cannot escape alive. In this horrible predicament, with the water rising and death stalking them hour by hour. their bickerings decline 10 nothing and they realize that they cannot afford to meet their Maker with evil in their hearts and slaidef on their tongues. A flash of heavenly insight illumin. ates the hostile group, and almost Spontaneously they compose their diff sferences. absolve one another from sin, and grow resigned in the face ol af almost. certain death. the antag ohisms that filled their days are for gotten.
 sThen a miracle happens. The i'm pending doom is averied. They are granted life once more. What shall they do? Has the religion of broth efhood been formly implanted iI their breasts; they are but human, their worldly responsibilities call once more.
