TO DARKEN HAIR APPLY SAGE TEA A few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur bring back its vigor, color, gloss and youthfulness. Common garden sage brewed into a liriivy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a sow applications will prove a revelation 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. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredfents. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. - - BY NATIVE HERB On board a vessel bound for India recently a man was bitten by a poisonous reptile; both the ship doctor and a family surgeon failed to control the poison fast spreading through his system.

BEGINS TOMORROW The “unknown hero” who never received a splendid funoral, but is still nlive and looking for a job. is a special object of the veteran census that begins tomorrow under direction of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion and its Auxiliary Unit. The Legionnaires are going out to get the name of every man and women who served the country in the world war. what their needs are, whether they have unpaid claims for compensation or not, and what their ideas are In regard to the adjusted compensation bill. They are especially anxious that ex-service men realize that his name is wanted whether he is a member of the American Legion or not. The census is specially designed to bring to light all cases of suffering through war service that have not yet been remedied. All ex-service men and women are to be asked if they have suffered any disability through the war, and if so, if they are securing adequate compensation. If they are in need of hospital treatment the facts are to be listed, and also If they are entitled to vocational training, if they are entitled to free dental service and do not know it, it will be found out for them. They are also to be questioned regarding their war risk insurance, con corning which there is considerable confusion. Many do not know the terms under which they may reinstate their insurance after letting it lapse, others would like to change it into a permanent form of government insurance, others have occasion to change the beneficiary of their policy.| These matters are all to be taken up. A matter of particular interest Is the choice the ex-service men will make among the five forms of compensation offered by the adjusted compensation bill. These include paid up insurance, farm and home' loans, and course in vocational train-, ing. A great deal lias been said and, surmised about the general wishes; of the ex-service people in the matter, but nothing has been actually known. The census will clear up many doubts o NOTICE TO ZION LUTHERNS German Lenten service will bo held this evening at 7:30 o’clock. The' council will meet after the service. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN— s—s—s'
