LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
VIII 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 attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful ef-
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store fer bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, im-
proved by the addition of other ingrea
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
By morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy,

MAJOR ALLEN, FAMOUS
ANIMAL ROPER. HERE
Man Who Handles Ferocious
Beasts Fearlessly, Has Young
Lion With Him

Major Jack Allen, famous among
the worlds animal handlers, ar /
perhaps without an equal as wild
animal roper, is in Americas, hav-
ing come in his travelling van, which
contains besides himself Mrs. Allen
and a helper, a ferocious wildcat
and young lion cub, the latter be
ing the pet of the outfit, and an
especial favorite of Major Allen His
pictures, showing many of Major
Aliens daring exploits, will be
shown as an added attraction, with
out charge at the Rylander
Theater today only.
In a series of two-reel pictures
he is seen, first Netting the Leop-
ard" The picture shows the unwaly
traveller in the Indian jungle at
tackled by these terrifying animals,
They spring upon horse and rid
er, there is a thrilling race, the rid
err is rescued, but the horse is kill
ed. Then Major Allen takes huge
net and walks up to the leopard ;
there is a spring and it is caught
in the net. Two are secured in this
way and transported to the zoo.
His activities are not confined
to netting wild animals. In another
two reels he is seen "Roping the
Lion" Flying over the African
desert in an airplane, much to tn
superstitious wonder of the AraE
goatherders, he hovers over a lion
and catches him with dragging
chains, anchoring him in the sand
Then he proceeds to lasso him a,
leisure until he is helpless. Thy
third picture, "Lassoing the Black
Panther" is the most picturesque
of all. He encounters the animal il
an ancient temple in Java. TIL
black creature, sitting on the top o.
a monolith, is an unforgettble BIZ
of photograph. Then Major Al.er
throws his expert lasso and ties tht
panther fast to the column. A Gag,

DISCRETION

Cooking odors often tell US what
our neighbours going to eat. Fumes
that come sometimes compel us to
admit she's got treat. Baked po-
tatoes, corn augratin, frying eggs
and kidney stew. Kitchen smells
that aren't forgotten; ones that
sure appeal to you.
When you're hungry as the dick
ems, after working all day long,
floating watts of broiling chickens
make the tummy feel wrong. Ap-
petites are pesky critters, calling
on a man to eat, buckwheat cakes
or sweet corn fritters; Boston beans
or tender meat.
Funny how you speed your walk
ing when kitchen windows passed.
And you hope, there's no use talk
ing, that your supper long will last,
Thank your nostrils for the pleasure
that the smell of cooking gives.
Thank your neighbor, in a measure,
if the smells from where he lives.
Yea, these odors from the kitchen,
floating on the evening air, keep
fellow fairly itchin' for his supper
table share. Cook away and folks
won't mind it; gladly will the fumes
be nosed. BUT, when you are cook
ing garlic, keep your kitchen wind
ow closed.

American Legion Building
Fund Drive on This Week

The American Legion boys are
starting their Building Fund drive
this week. the purpose Of this drive is
to raise mohey for the necessary re-
pairs and changes in the G. A. X. nan
on Brunswick avenue now occupied
by the Legion. When the members
OF the Grand Army so generously or
fered their hall to the Legion it was
found necessary to make consider
able repairs on it. and to make some
changes to suit their needs. so this
work was carried on entirely by the
Legion members who starting In the
first Of September spent two or three
nights a week in working at the nall.
They accomplished wonders in this
time, and IL the work had been done
by outsiders the cost would have been
in the thousands counting both time
and labor. the work is we'll done. as
Il is under the supervision of William
Malcney and Thomas Kelley who are
contractors and members Of the Le-
gion and have give their time and
knowledge to the work.
Surely there could be no worthier
cause than this Building Fund. and
the citizens of Gardiner should ans
wer this call. and contribute gener-
ously, and help the boys in making
the hall one of the finest in the state.
such a hall as they need and deserve.
A fine heating plant has recently been
installed in the basement. SO the hall
will he comfortable In cold weather.
and the dining hall downstairs has
been changed about. and now that
the boys have done the work they
feel that they are justified in asking
for money to buy the necessary ma
terials and so they nau upon the
public spirited citizens for help. Con-
tributions for the fund should be sent
to B. II. White. S12 Water street.
