 A PALESTINE NOTE BOOK. 191s-
 1923 by Charles Robert Ashbee.
 MT. Ashbee comes in with flash and a flourish as most extra aordinary and entertaining light of literature. He has not written controversial document nor yet one on economies. He has not in fact. written d dull page or dry one. He has done a book so far out of the ordinary so immeasura- bIy above most of the books that are being written that it is difficult to find the exact words in which to praise it. Ills hook Is merely q running chronicle of events as they happened during the administration as civic adviser of the city of Jerusalem. Ii is a pleasant book. an amusing book. most bril- liant book ."-Christian Science Moni- tor.

THE LIFE OF LORD RosEBERRY

THE LIFE OF LORD ROSEBERRf
 by Edward Thompson Raymond.
 MT. Raymond's biogrs phy of this liberal statesman, now living in re- tirement, who was once so powerful force in British politics is chiefly a summary of his political career. It is also an attempt toward an interpre- tation of the puzzle of his personality the contradictory elements in his char acter which have made Lord Rose berry a man of mystery. His bio- grapher does not claim to have sup piled the clue to the mystery but he forms interesting questions which will help to a clearer understanding and furnish contemporary impressions for a more complete estimate in the fu- ture."

Age is a handicap, and we all know

Don't stay gray! Look young,

gray, just few applications of Sage
Tea and Sulphur will darken it.
Either prepare the recipe at home
or get from any drug store, bottle
of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of
men and women recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair perfectly, and be-
sides, no one can tell, because it
darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking a few strands at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears. After another application
or two Its natural color is restored,
and you appear years younger.
