TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
IF Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
ers recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply. moistcn your
comb or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
50 attractive.

New York City, in This
Modem Time, Has a
Busy Slave Market
There Contractors Go to Beg Plaster
ers to Work for Them at Not
Less Than SIS a Day Pay.

Minus Eva and her trip to heaven,
Uncle Tom and the lash. the ice, the
bloodhounds and the cruel planter a
slave market has been opened in New
York city. The slaves, however, set
the prices which shall be paid for
their services
Every morning one can see great
gathering of workmen in the square
at Brownsville, Brooklyn. Plasterers
are these-kings OF the building world.
Along comes a contractor. He offers
SIS a day for men, and is not heard.
He offers $50, and gets little atten-
ton. He offers SIS, and half dozen
men, with bored expression on their
faces, step forward They'll take the
Job, providing It isn't too hard, the
tractor is told.
This is no dream. 1t actually is the
condition at the present time. There
is such a building boom III New York
city that p1asterers are more valuable
than diamonds or coal.
Contractors may go to bed at night
with full crews; in the morning they
may find their buildings as bare as
the cupboard of Old Mother Hubbard.
When work is plentiful on the mark
ct contractors steal plasters from
one another by offering 81 more a day

is DANGEROUS TO
WHISPER SECRETS
OSTEOPATH WARNS INDIS-
GREET PERSONS THEY MAY
BE HEARD l35 FEET AWAY.

Don't whisper secrets in public
places, for people with good hearing
135 feet away from you, during quiet
moments, can hear what you are
whispering.
This warning, which is not intend
ed for women alone, is contained in
a discussion of deafness in a weekly
bulletin of health information issued
by DR.. John H. Bailey professor OF
therapeutics at the Philadelphia Col
lege of Osteopathy.
A normal ear according to Dr. Bal
ley, can hear residual air whisper at
a distance of l3l fcet, and can hear a
low conversational voice five times as
far. Most people, howcveE are deaf,
more or less, he said, and either don't
know it or won't admit it.
Think for a minute he said, how
many people do you know whose
hearing is normal, judged by these
standards. How many people do you
know who say, What is that" or,
Beg your pardon: Nearly everybody,
Women's vanity and false pride are
at the bottom OF many cases Of de
fective hearing and deafness. Even
men will rarely admit they are get
ting deaf. Most people who are deaf
do not apply for treatment till they
have lost Is per cent OF their hearing"
Close observation, he said, has
shown that childrcn's diseases, direct
ly and indirectly, are to blame for
most of the detective hearing preva-
lent in this country. The United States
has more persons suffering from ca
tarrh than any other country in the
world, and all Who have catarrh are
deaf to some extent
Delay i'll having defective hearing
recognized and treated" he said, is
due to the fact that the human voice,
which is the principal thing the pa
tient wants to hear, ranges in the male
only two octavcs above middle c;
whereas the human sense il hearing
can perceive sounds four octaves be-
low and seven oCtaves above middle
c, The patient may therefore lose
half the hearing for low tones and
two-thirds of the hearing for high
tones without realizing any difficulty
in hearing voice,
zone would suppose that people
would be anxious to preserve so pre-
cious a gift as hearing Yet it is a
fact that the overwhelming majority
Of patients who apply for treatment
cannot hear a whisper at 10 feet,
which means they have lost % per
cent OF their hearing power"

For Sale-Island and
Two Titles; Only $4,000
Sandman Realtor Is Negotiating With
An American Woman.

GAGLIARI, Sardinia-Why marry
a worthless prince when you can buy
an island principally together with
the title, and bestow them on a hus-
band of your own choice? is the ar
gument an enterprising Sandman real
tor has used in trying to sell a Med
iterranean island to an American wo-
man.
The woman was not in the market
for a title, either with or without a
prince, but she promised to mention
the alluring prospect to some of her
friends, andsthus extracted further in
formation about the property from the
enterprising real estate man. He with
held the name, but assured her the
island is well located and is highly
desirable both as a summer and win
ter residence. 1t has an old castle
which is in need of repair, several
hundred acres of vineyard and farm
land badly in need of modernization,
and two villages, also badly in need
OF repair, with about 500 inhabitants.
The entire property is offered for
$4,000, the princely name included,
with guarantee that the present
holder of the title will legally sane

them for a courtyard loss on the
fourth We say that this wonderful
playing on the part of our boys was
witnessed by only a few; then why?
Nothing else was happening in
town Business was slack Yet, not
many business men were present. We
have a team that would do credit to
much larger high school, but we
didn't take in enough money to pay
the Blakely team their share. Stores
closed up last year to see a hired team
play baseball; ladies and men would
call off engagements to see a bunch
of men who were playing for the sal
airy there was in it play a losing
game. Yet, these same men will just
stand around and talk about the boil
weevil rather than go to see group
OF hard fighting boys, possibly their
boys, play a winning game against
some other school
These same ladies who never miss
ed a baseball game will just ride
around or sit on their front porches
in preference to seeing the represent
atives of their high school, the future
citizens of Dawson, play a game for
which they receive only glory if they
win, encouragement if they lose.
Around $1,000 was donated by the
people to start baseball last year, yet
d. H. S. could not raise $500, just
one-half Of the price of the football
equipment. But we obtained this ma
terial and put a good winning team
in the field We had hopes of making
money to pay these bills, and not of
losing it at our games.
Come on, folks! Where's your spir-
it? We don't ask for any donation;
we just want your presence at the
games. If you do not understand
football it is easy to learn, and you
will enjoy it. Just come out and give
us a little support and We'll furnish
the amusement. THE COUNT.

 "Step right in," MT. Cray invited hos pitably. "Tell the chauff, UT your number, Captain. Let me give you a cushion, madam; pretty tiring-my God"
 They were all three in the car now, the officer with his head out of the window, directing the chauffeur. A black domino had up to the present concealed the whole of the lady's form, but the eyes glowing so steadily into his through the folds of her black lace mantilla, were unmistakable. The faintest of weary smiles played upon her lips as she gazed into MT. Cray's thunderstruck face. The officer withdrew his head from the window.
 "Major Hartopp, my name is, sir" he said. q can't tell you how grateful my wife and I are."
 Joseph P. Cray is my name," the other rejoined. "Ive come across your good lady this evening""
 "Yes." the Spirit murmured sleepily from her corner, 'Mr. Cray was very kind to me. He gave me wine and let me sit down in his box"
 "And I understood you to say that your name was Christine Saboa," MT. Cray ob- served, too eager for some measure of elucidation to be anything but ruthless.

 MT. Cray looked uneasily around
 "She sort o'had me guessing" he con- fessed.
 Christine Saboa," the monk went on, Twas not only very wonderful medium, but she was also great collector.'
 "Of what?'
 "Jewelry-anything she could lay her hands on," the inspector replied.
 Tt was not until after her death that she was even suspected. They say that she must have got away with quarter of million pounds worth of diamonds from New York alone.'
 You're not taking any stock from the fact that she called herself medium, suppose?"
 The monk scratched his chin.
 "Men like you and me, MT. Cray, sir" he said, "who take an interest in crime, are bound to be materialists. Still, I've learned in my profession never to be obstinate about anything. There are good many in- telligent and we'll informed people who be- lieve in spooks, and am telling you frankly that this Christine Saboa had, without doubt, some exceptional gifts.

They say that she could hypnotize strong man in three minutes.
 7 "You're sure she's dead?"
 "So far as our information goes," the monk replied, "she died in New York last November"
 "Then I don't mind telling you," Mr.. Cray confided, "that this little bit of gray cloud who's rather got on my nerves this evening-some eye she's got, but she kept on behaving like half baked spook-told me just befora you came in that her name was Christine Saboa."
 "That's interesting" the monk acknow1- edged. "Let's have stroll round and see if we can see anything of her."
 Three times the two men made the cir cult of the hall in vain. The Spirit had disappeared.
 MT. Cray stood on the steps of the Albert Hall at o'clock that morning, paused for moment to take breath, and sent a nightly volume of raucous sound quivering through the early stiffness.
 There was little commotion amongst the unfortunate bystanders. A pleasant faced officer in uniform, who was standing on the step below MT. Cray, with muffled- up form upon his arm, started as though he had been shot and nearly dropped the kit bag he was carrying. s7

''For Gods sake," he exclaimed, looking over his shoulder, "what are you making that noise for?"
 "I want my automobile, " MT. Cray ex- plained cheerfully. I've got an American chauffeur who knows the old college yell I guess he's heard me-"
 q should say he has, if he's this side of the Strand" the officer commented dryly.
 "He's not only heard it, but here he is," MT. Cray observed complacently as his limousine stole through the tangle of vehicles and drew up to the steps, That's worth shout, eh?"
 There were many in the waiting crowd who looked wistfully at the car, for driz- zling rain was falling, and taxicabs were scarce. MT. Cray looked round at the officer and his companion and addressed the former.
 "Can I give you lift anywhere?" he asked. "I'm going to the Milan Hotel, but don't mind going bit out of my way as long as it isn't entirely in the opposite direction"
 The officer stepped forward almost eagerly.
 "If you could give my wife and me lift as far as Moon Street, Chelsea" he said, "it would be awfully good of you. I ordered a taxicab, but Pm afraid it's gone off with

 Guess I'll go and collect some of the crowd,'' he muttered. "You make yourself quite comfortable and stay just as long as you like"
 Don't go,' she begged. Don't leave me-"
 MT. Cray hestated. He was a good na- tured man, and the little quiver in her voice sounded very human.
 'T'l stay if you take your mask off," he suggested.
 "You shall see me without my mask within few hours," she promised, "but not here-not now. Please-please stay. This is my dangerous hour."

 "How can I explainv'
 "Pm not particular how you do it," Mir. Cray replied, "but I've got the idea that you're playing some game on me, and if you're not inclined to put me wise, I'd just as soon-without wishing to seem inhospit- able-that you quit it."
