GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA To DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss, =
/ Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a reve-
lation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way Is to
get a bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use, for only rs
cents. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other
ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it SO naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and 6raw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and

Orders OF the State tax board re-

Al cents for last year," Kern said,
'the amount left to be divided
among other funds will not leave
enough to operate schools on the

the past two years.
Bond Issues Fought
'Tt will be impossible to keep
school buildings in repair or in the
same sanitary condition as at
present.
Proposal that the school city
build the most urgent grade build
igs from proceeds of bond issues
should be bitterly opposed by tax
payers and school patrons.
"The school city is now setting
aside each year to pay interest and
principal of $500,000 In bonds, which
would more than erect two modern
grade buildings each year.
Irvington to Suffer
Proposal that bonds Of approx
mately 100000 be sold to meet
urgent building requirements not
only means that the taxpayers will
have paid 100000 for the build
ings before the bonds are retired
and interest paid, but also the
bonding power Of the school city
will be so impaired that possibility
of constructing a high school build
ing for the Irvington district will
be put off at least ten years.
"The same situation is true Of all
high school needs, including Broad
Ripple, where new building or an
addition is badly needed"

81 JntteG FT6SS
WAWAKA, Ind, Oct. 28.-"The
Ghost of Diamond Hill" at last has
got on the nerves Of farmers living
near here to such an extent that
they are planning an old-fashioned
ghost-laying party. Farmers and
their wives will spend a night in
the haunted house where the ghost
resides, and will make an effort to
discover the cause of the creepy
"goings on" which have been re-
ported.
On Diamond Hill, the highest
point in this vicinity, stands a de-
serted house and barn, on an un-
titled. deserted farm. The house
once the scene of merry gatherings
of young folk of pioneer days, is
crumbling to ruins, the roof is cav
ing in and window easements fall
ing out. There the ghost is said to
make his dwelling.
Strange tales Of unexplainable
lights, weird means and other
haunting phenomena have been
current in Wawaka for many
months, and several people attest to
having seen, heard or felt the Wis
itations If the ghost.
Visitors at the house during the
daytime are plentiful, but nothing
unusual has been discovered by such
timid investigators. The building is
constructed of black walnut, they
say. The barn has wall Of dead
white stones, fashioned by a mas
ter artisan of pioneer days. A
rank growth of weeds infests the
yard. Here and there a beautiful
French lilac bush, almost choked by
the weeds, thrusts up its head. An

Everyday Law Cases
Can EN- pIoye Under Contract
Be Discharged for IncOm-
potency?
nv THE COUNSELLOR,
BY THE COUNSELLOR

Searching through the help wanted
columns of the morning newspaper,
Elmer Drum spied the following ad:
Observation-Disclosures to take COM
plete charge of books Of fur COM
pany."
Elmer had but brief experience as a
bookkeeper, but he did not hesitate
to apply for the position notwithstand-
ing the extent of the work required
by the ad. He needed job. and was
determined to try to get this one.
Obtaining an interview, he spoke
glibly about his training and expert
ence. The manager. impressed by Ell
mer's recital and bearing, agreed to
was duly executed.
Then Elmers worries began. The
system was more complicated and diff
ficult than he had thought, and al
though he tried to hide his incompe.
tency, errors crept into his reports.
The manager, realizing his mistake,
discharged Elmer.
Elmer protested that his contract
was for a year, and that, therefore,
he could not be discharged. The
manager explained to Elmer that he
was not competent to fill the position,
and Elmer answered that there was
no stipulation or warranty In the con-
tract on his part that he was cOmpe-
tent. Therefore. he argued, he could
not be discharged during the term Of
the contract.
Unable to convince the manager of
his rights, Elmer brought suit.
The court decided against Elmer on
the following general rule regarding
contracts of employment.
IAN implied stipulation In all con-
tracts of employment is that. the en-
ploye IL reasonably competent to per.
form the work undertaken by him."

Smart Frocks of Linen or Cotton
BY MARY MARSHALL.

This does not always indicate a
spirit of wanton extravaganza on the
part of the poor working girl. She
can buy her little silk or georgette
frocks for a small price, and %she
has found from experience that they
demand less in upkeep than frocks of
the possibly less expensive cotton or
linen.
So it has come about that cotton
frocks have acquired a new sort of
distinction. Taking advantage of this
the dressmakers have turned their
talents to making cotton and linen
frocks of real distinction. Manufac-
turers of these materials have also
done their share in producing fabrics
of peculiar beauty and good quality.
Why shouldn't the girl who works
follow the example of her leisurely
sister or cousin and wear smart cotton
or linen frocks to work? True they
require frequent laundering or clean
ing, but the very fact that they do
gives them an eminently desirable
tone. Jacket costumes of plain or
printed linen or of the heavier sorts
of cotton are really as appropriate for
office as country club. There are in.
teresting combinations of cretonne
and plain cotton materials that might
be selected. For warmer weather
there are frocks of printed dimity
or wolfe that possess the air Of fresh
ness and GOODNESS that can hardly be
claimed for any frock of silk geor.
gette or crepe de chine.
AS a reaction against the pastel
tones that have been so obvious a
fashion of Spring, some of the lead.
ing dressmakers are using linens OF
rather vivid shade for midsummer
sports wear. Chanel of Paris, spon
sors linen in lacquer red. Greens
yellows and violets too clear in tone
to be called pastel" are also to be-
found among these linen frocks
