Says Sage and Sulphur Darkens Ha r Beautifully and Ends Dandruff. Hair that loses its color and luster, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless is caused by a lack of sulphur lin the hair, says a well known local pharmacist. Our grandmother made jup a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and even today this simple preparation has no equal. Millions of women and men, too, w-ho value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only sage tea and sulphur. Nowadays we are not bothered with the task of gathering the sage leaves and the mussy mixing at home. Simply ask any drug store for a 50 cent bot•tle of the ready-to-use preparation, called “W'yeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.” Customers like this best because it darkens so naturally; so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it contains ingredients which take off dandruff, stop scalp Itching and falling hair. No, it isn't a dye or even like it. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur” and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two it is restored to its natural color. What delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage nad Sulphur is that besides beautifully darkening the hair they say it brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

NEAR-WINNER TRIES AGAIN z y !h /- RALPH DE PALMA Rnlph DePalma, the young Italian American race driver, who is perhaps more popular in this country than any other man who is seen at the wheel of j n speed chariot, will head the Mercer team which has been formally entered lu the third annual 50lMulle In- | ternational Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speetlway. May 30. DePalma haa completely recovered from the Injuries sustained In a smashup during the Grand Prize race Milwaukee last autumn. It will be remembered that DePalma all but won the &00-mlle race at Indianapolis on May 30 of last year, his engine going bad when the Italian/ had warcely a 1 'ap to go in order to win by a large margin. Although hfs professional 1 record fans been brilliant ever since t I those days when as a mere boy he tie- j | velojicd the speed mania as a bicycle i racer, it wns bls unfortunate accident i at the Indianapolis Speedway last year : that served to thru«t him most prominently Into the limelight. DePalma is fully convinced that he will be able to retrieve the fortune he lost at that I time, and expects to be at the Indianapolis course early in May tuning up his cars for the coming .’sHt-mlle race. His team-mates will be Sia-ncer Wishart, who teamed with him last year. I and Caleb Bragg, who drove the car I with which DePaltua collided at Milwaukee. BANG GO RECORDS FRENCH PILOT GOES FASTER THAN MAN EVER TRAVELED. Makes ""Unusual Speed in Same Car He Will Drive at Indianapolis. Shattering all previous speed records, not excepting those of aviation Jules Goux, the French motor pilot, has succeeded in covering 106 miles 307 yards in an hour, driving the Peugeot car, which he will pilot in the third annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Goux has been testing his car at Brooklands, England, in preparation for the 500-mile race at Indianapolis Since Percy Lambert made his unusual record. Goux bas made three efforts to beat it, succeeding on his third attempt. On his first trial the Frenchman proved that his car had the necessary speed, but a loosened shock absorber caused him to discontinue the run before the hour had elapsed. During his second attempt he was beset with tire trouble and was compelled to make two stops. Even with this handicap he drove 160 miles 321 yards in the allotted sixty minutes. The remarkable record which he has at last succeeded in making only bears out the statement he made when he first went to Brooklands, in which he promised to defeat all world's records before participating in the Indianapolis race. The car which he Is driving is now known throughout England and France as the Indianapolis Peugeot Not only did the Frenchman shatter the hour mark, but he set new records for the 50 and 100-mlle marks The former distance was negotiated in 128:18.65 and the latter in :56:29.93. The former records were by Lambert. He jnade the fifty miles in : 29.04 and the 100 miles in : 57:49.48 on Feb. 15. It is hard to appreciate the real speed which Goux attained. He traveled a distance of 106.29 miles in sixty minutes, or at a rate of 155 7-10 feet a second. If the car had been equipped with 34x4 wheels, each wheel would have made 62,832 revolutions for the entire distance. The average touring car engine at a 3 1-2 to 1 ratio would have to turn over 3,665 times each minute to keep the pace. It has been figured out that If the driver had applied both brakes he eould tiot have stopped his car in less than 1 1-10 miles or 5,850 feet. Comparing the speed of the Peugeot to the muzzle velocity of a 13Inch gun us#d In the United States Navy, it Is found that Goux traveled more than 1-10 as fast as a ball from one of the large guns. The speed of the bullet Is approximately 1,400 fest a second. These comparisons will assist, no doubt, itx.jflving some faint Idea of the great speed of the car. British pride is said to have sustained a terrific blow by the success of the Frenchman, as the natives of England believed the marks set by their countrymen could not be lowered. Goux has been after the records for some time and In his last attempt came close to breaking the mark for the hour. Tire trouble alone kept him from the goal. He kept right on trying, however, and the ' result has been another proof added to the long list of those which assert j that perseverance conquers ail things. It Is expected that the nresent mark will stand for a long time, but others may try just as hard, as it would seem that the limit has not been reached Human endurance will havs to bs fi<i ured on when It come* to lowering the marte.
