Don't let gray hair suggest age.
1t often comes long before age is due.
Keep your dark hair glossy. Keep
| it looking like girls. The way is
quick and easy.
Do it. if you wish, like the women
Of oldtimes-by brewing sage tea
and adding sulphur and alcohol. But
there is now a better way.
The preparation is ready-made. 1t
has some additions of great value.
All druggists supply it under the
name Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound.
It is not sticky or greasy. 1t is
easy to apply. The results are quick,
and SO even, so natural that nobody
knows you have used it.
This old way is still the best way
to darken gray hair. Generations of
women have used sage tea, but never
so many as today.
Apply it at night as directed, and
morning brings an amazing change.
Apply it once or twice more and the
hair returns to the darkness, the lus-
ter the softness of youth.
The cost is a trihe-not more than
10 cents for every year that it makes
you look younger. Think what that
means to you.
Go ask your druggist for

Indians Have Tuberculosis
EDMONTON, CANADA - Dr.

EDMONTON, CANADA - Dr. D.. s. Scott, who recently returned here after a year at Aklavik, in the delta of the Mackenzie river. pre- dicted that not many years would elapse before the Eskimo would be exterminated by disease through adopting the white mans ways of living.
 Eskimos and Indians of the delta are suffering from intestinal para sitic attacks, due to eating raw fish, rabbits and other meats, said the doctor, but these are not so serious a problem as cancer and appendi- citis, which are becoming prevalent
 Since the Eskimos have been liv- ing in cabins and shacks instead of snow houses, as in the olden days tuberculosis has ravaged them Ninety percent of the delta people had symptoms of tuberculosis, he declared.

JUI JITSU

The first exhibition of Jui-Jitsr ever seen in Wrangell took place al the Rink last Saturday night when Prof. Takahashi, noted Japanese athlete and wrestler took on David Graham and Ellery Carlson for wrestling bouts. The home men made fair showings but of course they had no chance of winning from champion. Prof Tagahashi was retained by the United States Army during the war to instruct soldiers in Jui-Jitsu. The city of Denver later employed him to instruct its police.
 During the evening Professor Takahashi gave an interesting talk on jui-jitsu. Much interest was shown in his demonstration of nerve control when he stuck large hat pin through his arm without the slightest indication of pain.

Government Loses Damage Suit

SAN FRANCISCO - In the first of a series of cases in which the government allowed itself to be sued for an aggregate sum exceed ing $1,000,OO0 for damages for the seizure in 1891 of sealing vessels in the Bering sea, the court awarded $77,710 to Capt. HIP. WhitelaW of San Francisco.
 The award represents the value of seals Whitelaw's ship, the Lan- infa, might have taken in 1891 and 1892 if the ship had not been seized and condemned by the Federal gov ernmcnt at Sitka.
 The condemnation of the vessel was reversed in 1896 by decision in the district court at San Fran cisco, holding that the United States had no jurisdiction outside of the three mile limit in Boring sea.
 Congressional action made pos sibl the suits, of which Whitelaw's is the first to be tried.
