AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the 4 fural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was TO make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store Tor "WyetI's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie Of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
". You dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger,

Every itinerant chautauqua spouter
pfays nightly for the decease Of all
committee cholrmen and professional
introducers. There are few who know
how to combine felicity with brevity,
but they are as rare as Baptlsts who
prefer Beethoven to Irving Berlin.
Painfully common are such bunglers
as the chautauQua superintendent who
introduced me in place of Col. John

NEW JERSEY FARM
ONCE KINGS HOME
Joseph Bonnparte, Ex-Ruler
of Spain, Refugee There.

A few citizens Of the United States
az one time had the rare privilege Of
neighboring with king, for Joseph
Bonaparte. after wearing the crown Of
Spain and Naples spent the remainder
of his life as a country gentleman on
his magnificent estate near Borden
town, n g., writes Irene Cowan Tap

The Idea Of selecting New Jersey
as place Of residence originally

port"
Later when preparing for his es-
cane, Joseph sent Il final message TO
hts brother urging him TO 60 In his
stead and seek refuge in the quiet
spot he had previously selected. which
offer, as may be imagined, was imme-
dlately declined.
Joseph's escape to America as mar
rated by his secretary, Maillird. in
"Bonaparte's Park and the Murats,"
tells us that the vessel selected for
the journey was a small, common
looking brig, the Commerce, weighing
300 tons. and loaded with a cargo Of
Bordeaux wines.
sbillful captain, Messeryey, a
Swede. was in command of the Com
merce. Three times the vessel was
stopped on the high seas and
searched by English frlgates who
were on the lookout for the de-
throned emperor, but so carefully had
the papers and the passports been
prepared that even the captain did not
know the identity Of his distinguished
passengers until after the vessel had
landed On the following day in blaz-
Ing headlines, Messervey read all
about the voyage and the successful
escape Of a former crowned head Of
Europe.
The city Of Philadelphia became the
first place Of residence for Count de
suryHlers. which was the former
kings title IN this country, and he first
occupied a House on Ninth street, later
renting one of the ten pretentious
houses Of the Girard trust fund in
Girard row, located on Chestnut street
below Twelfth. Re lived in apparent
comfort for III space of several
years.
Soon after his arrival IN America
Joseph had applied to the legislature
Of New Jersey for permission to hold
real estate without becoming natural
lied. Approaching his peculiar posi-
ton, the legislature, after due consld-
GRAFTON, complied with his request
The count then purchased some
land. His real estate consisted Of ten
farms on the banks Of Crosswicks
creek, extending up to the opposite
village Of Groyeryille, and a park of
about 1000 acres This park, known
as Bonaparte's park, was situated on
an elevated plateau near Bordentown.

Everyone expects the Wisconsin
insurgent to run for the Presidency.
He is only waiting for the De

platform before he blossoms forth as
a fullfledped candidate. Endorse
ment Of LaFollette for President IS

Wisconsin Senator has been invited
to address this convention lie

his own keynote.
SPLIT WIDE OPEN on nearly all
public questions, the Republicans and
Democrats are in agreement upon at
least one issue this year and that a
very important one The Republican
platform endorsed the Harding
Hughes world court plan, and this is
the one supported by the Democrats
in the Senate, who proposed it after
Republican Senators had turned
down the Harding plan which had
President CooGdge's approval The
chief difference is that the De-
mocrats will demand complete
adherence to the covenant of the
League Of Nations.
