E. Wood at the request of E. E. Castle, prosecuting attorney of Wagoner county. The opinion, written after a long conference between the attorney general and the entire staff of assistants, held that there is no law which would compel officials of any state institution for delinquent to accept Negro prisoners. It advised the Wagoner authorities that the only disposition that can be made of the boys, apparently, is to have them placed in the hands of responsible people on orders of the probate judge. The attorney general's letter suggested that legislation establishing a reform or training school for Negro delinquents is needed. It called attention to the fact that under existing law there is no place to send Negro criminals who are under age. Negroes never have been accepted at Pauls Valley, but the question of whether officials of the institution could be forced to take them never was brought up before. The above article shows conclusively the great need of a state reform school for the Colored youths of this state and the absolute fairness and justness of the demands of the Colored people of Oklahoma upon the present legislature for relief. Why compel the Negro to pay taxes and receive no benefits therefrom? Let us have a reform school for the Negroes. Rentie People Surprise Pastor Rentie People Surprise Pastor Mr. A, J. Smitherman, editor Tulsa Star Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words about the people that am pastoring at Rentie, near Jenks, Okla. On the 5th Sunday in January, 1915 we had services in the morning and Rev. L. S. Shaw, a young minister of the church preached and we had a lovely meeting and in the afternoon we had an old fashion A. M. E. class meeting and after the evening services were all over I went to my room and to my surprise I found that the so loyal members of Renties Chappel A. M. E. church had a box that weighed 100 pounds packed with eatibles of all kinds and I take this method of thanking the members and friends of Rentie for their kind hospitality to their pastor and to let the public know what we are doing. Come again members and friends my room is always open to receive you. Respectfully yours, R. H. CURTIS, P. C. Sapulpa, Okla. --- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBUARY 6, 1915. One of Tulsa's Progressive Men A. L. PHILLIPS A. L. Phillips, the subject of this sketch is a valuable property holder of this city who is a very quiet and unassuming man 50 years of age, a race man to the core. He has lived in Tulsa five years and he has worked every day af that time. He was at one time employed by O. W. Gurley in his grocery store, but after a few months through Prof. J. W. Hughes, who was at that time employed by the Pioneer Telephone Company, he secured a position as janitor for the Pioneer building with Prof. Hughes. Since that time he has worked continuously for the Pioneer people as chief of the janitors and general custodian. There are now eight Colored men working for the company who secured their jobs through Mr. Phillips, and they are all at work under his orders. The company have implicit confidence in him and he cherishes this trust as one would a dear keep sake. Mr. Phillips is sole owner of the Phillips-West building on N. Greenwood and also has a number of rent houses in the East End. There are few men anywhere more public spirited and race loving than A. L. Phillips. He is all that means progressive and energetic. Tulsa would be a much better town if we had more men of his kind. Mr. Phillips was born and reared in Hope, Hemstead county, Ark. Caver to Return to Tulsa Soon H. J. Caver, the tailor who was recently called to Pine Bluff, Ark., to his tor of his brothers' estatecmfwmff brothers' death and who was made administrator of his brothers' estate has announced his intention to return to Tulsa and enlarge his business here. In a letter the Star received from him he says he will install several new machines, both steam and electric. which will make the Cavers Cleaning establishment here one of the best equipped in the city. The Cavers plant at Pine Bluff which is said to be worth $30,000 is in charge of a cousin, Wm. Caver, of Pine Bluff. Mr. Caver expresses a desire to meet all friends and customers upon his return with the same old smile. National Ass'n For A. of C.P.

TULSA, OKLA, STAR AFRO-AMERICAN GULLINGS One hundred years ago the first col- ored troops who ever served in the army of the United States won the commendation of General Jackson in the battles in and around New Or- leans. It was there that a small part of the regular army, the militia of sev- eral of the southwestern states, and two detachments of colored troops won the final engagement which drove the invaders from the shores of that portion of the country January 21 General Jackson read an address to each of the commands which had taken part in the battles, reviewing the campaign, and saying of the engagement of January 8 that the loss of the enemy was more than 3,000 while the American loss was but 18—“a wonderful interposition of heay- en! An unexampled event in the his- tory of war!” General Jackson charac- terizes the event. In his general orders of January 21, prior to breaking camp, General Jack- son complimented the various regl- ments and commands, saying of the two bodies of colored volunteers: “They have not disappointed the hopes that were formed of their courage and perseverance in the performance of their duty. Majors Lacoste and Da- quin, who commanded them, have de- served well of their country.” Yet, although these colored troops were commended for their coolness and bravery under fire, especially in the memorable engagement of Decem: ber 23 when they were attached to Coffee's brigade, which opened the se ries of battles, recognition for their services, by way of pension and bounty, was withheld for several years after their discharge from the serv: fee and then was granted only after an opinion had been given by William Wirt, attorney general of the United States at that time, that they might legally be so recompensed. When the colored troops enlisted the act of congress of December 24, 1811, provided a bounty of $16, with three months’ pay, and a grant of 160 acres of land to those who had served five years, the same amount of land to the heirs of those killed in battle, and the same amount of land te the heirs o! those who had died in the service after having served five years. ‘The act of January 11, 1812, carried like provi sions, and the act of December 10, 1814 again carried the provisions, excep! that the amount of land granted was doubled. After the colored troops were mus tered out, application was made in their behalf for recognition under these acts, especially for the bounty of 320 acres of land, but it was not until 1828 that their clatms were rec ognized.—James Croggon in thy Wash ington Star. It is reported in the newspapers of ‘Transbaikal that new, exceedingly rich gold fields were discovered on lands belonging to the czar in the re- gion of Station Zilovo, of the Trans- batkal railroad on the Bolsho!

While many race wars have been pre dicted, no serious and prolonged r- cfal conflict has taken place in re- cent years in the South, It has been in a very large degree the influence of the educated Negro who has coun- seled patience, forbearance and sym: pathetic co-operation between the two races that has prevented disgraceful outbreaks and has resulted in secur ing and maintaining a large degree of peace and harmony between the races, The people of this nation should remember that the Negro is not a beggar so far as his personal needs are concerned. He supports himself in clothes and shelter, and has done so for 45 years. The only call that he has made upon the public has been for aid in the direction of education, moral and religious training.”"—B. T, Washington.

The Fort Valley school for the industrial uplift of the Negro has had little monetary assistance in Georgia, The domestic science school, established by that capable Negro of Athens, Samuel Harris, through vart- ous agencies, has most of its support from outsiders, and Linton Ingraham, that faithful exslave, who was born on Alexander Stephens’ plantation, 1s struggling to raise $1,500 to build, as a memorial to Mr. Stephens, an indus- trial school at Sparta, Ga., where domestic science 1s one of the pur. poses. He has the highest indorse: ment from the white men of that vi cinity, the governor of the state In- dorses his work, and the men of thought who have seen it and appre: ciate the good purpose of it, but In- graham is begging enough money now to go North and get the necessary $1,500 for the completion of the build ing. Individually, Mr, and Mrs, Eugene Heard of Rose Hill farm, have estab lished a school for domestic sclence for the Negro employees on theit plantation, but in no elty or town in the state where the ery for domestic service is loudest, is any step be ing taken to train for domestic sci ence. ‘To meet this condition, an ideal sys tem has been devised in the work be ing done for the Negro at Hamptot institute, Virginia, where Negro boy! and girls are being trained to mee| and work out the conditions now threatening the progress of the race Hampton institute is an undenom- {national school for the training of teachers and leaders in agriculture the trades and community work, Its aim, as expressed in 1859 by General Armstrong, has not changed: “To train selected youth who shall go out and teach and lead their people, first by example by getting land and homes; to give them not a dollar they can earn for themselves; to teach re ‘spect for labor; to replace stupid ‘drudgery with skilled hands; and te these ends to build up an industrial system, for the sake not only of self: support and intelligent labor, but also for the sake of character.” Hampton has recently published a pamphlet, “Education for Life,” which contains General Armstrong's leading ideas on education—a working philos ophy of Christian living. “Education for Life” contains sections on edu: cation of hand, education of the mind, education of the character, ‘Those who are interested in educa tion which spells service and progress, will wish to read “Education for Life” and then compare their impressions with these words of endorsement, is sued by the United States bureau of education: “It is felt that General Armstrong's theory and demonstra: tion of practical education have proved to be right, not merely for the races for which they were immediate ly intended, but for boys and girls everywhere, since they represent a successful attempt to work out one of the most momentous tasks of our time—that of creating an education that shall be an effective force for training productive, efficient members of society.” In December work began on the bridge over the Juan Diaz river about nine miles from Panama, It isa re- enforced conerete arch of something over one hundred-foot span, which will be the longest span arch on the isth- mus.

Heroism Not Decaying. People who are constantly afraid of the decay of heroism ought to be re- assured by the manifestation of that virtue in the New York subway fire. ‘The subway, full of smoke and gases, and with more than two thousand hu- man beings trying to get out, and climbing over each other in their fright, or succumbing to suffocation, was not a pleasant thing to go into. But firemen, policemen, and a good many citizens plunged into the dark- ness and fire and smoke torescue the prisoners, and showed about as much courage, and as self-sacrificing regard for their fellows as men who on the field of battle get Iron and Victoria Crosses. And this is not unusual; the heroic virtues are displayed abundant- ly in all emergencies and dangers by men and women who have not the supporting sense of orders from above or comrades at their side—Philadel- phia Record.

Sawdust as a Dressing. Dr, Charles W. Cathcart urges in the British Medical Journal the use of pinewood sawdust as a dressing for wounds. It must be obtained from absorbent wood, sifted through a No. 8 sieve, and then through a No. 40 sieve to remove the dust. It must be sewn up in sterilized gauze bags, loose ly filled, and these are placed upon the wound. They absorb the dis- charges, deodorize the secretions and act to a slight extent as antlseptics.

Pierre Garat, the singer and exquisite of Napoleonic France, was not merely a glass of fashion and a wonderful, self-instructed singer, but an artist devoted to his art. But is the following, asks Mr. Bernard Miall in his biography, an example of sincerity in art, or of love of attracting attention? Coupigny had supplied him with a "romance" to be set to music. Whenever the two met, Garat replied, "I have not hit upon an idea as yet." One day Coupigny was walking down the Rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs. Hearing a sound of some one running behind him, he turned; it was Garat, who seized him by the arm, dragged him up the stairs of a neighboring house, and, halting on the first landing, exclaimed, "I've got it!" At once he began to sing the romance through at the top of his voice. The inhabitants of the house began to open their doors; heads were projected over the banisters; finally they began to approach; but Garat, having finished, tore down the stairs like a monkey, dragging the bewildered poet with him.—Youth's Companion.

It is noted on her manifest that her cargo will be reshipped to Bremen. Her hatches have been sealed by the collector of the port. The Dacia carries 11,000 square bales of cotton, a cargo valued by the shippers at $880,000. They are to get for this cargo 16 cents per pound, or $80 per bale, laid down in Bremen. The government bureau took a part of the insurance on that valuation at 46 percent. The freight rate charged is $3.50 per bale, the highest ever paid for cotton transportation. Captain George McDonald who will command, the vessel on her trip has a crew of 311 men, all Americans. He said he did not expect to deviate from the usual course of steamships and would make no particular effort to avoid capture. New York.—Risking possible seizure by British warships lying off the Atlantic coast, the American-owned steamer Wilhelmina, flying the American flag and loaded with approximately $200,000 worth of foodstuffs consigned by an American commission firm to an American citizen in Germany, passed out to sea Friday night. It is the first voyage of the kind undertaken by any vessel from an American port since war began in Europe, nearly six months ago. If the Wilhelmina is detained or seized the W. L. Green Commission Company of St. Louis, charterers of the vessel and shippers of her cargo, will file a protest with the American state department declaring that the cargo is conditional contraband, denying the right of a belligerent warship to confiscate it and requesting the United States to demand the immediate release or ship and cargo. The cargo consist of grain, meats and dried fruits and is intended, according to the shippers, for consumption by the civilian population of Germany and will not be sold directly or indirectly to the German government or its armed forces. A guarantee to this effect was filed with the United States customs authorities in the form of an affidavit by W. T. Brooking, representing the shippers. Their counsel said the shippers were prepared to back this guarantee with a bond in any amount. Mr. Brooking will go to Hamburg to dispose of the cargo, if it escapes seizure by warships, in retail lots to private concerns. He probably will obtain written guarantees that the foodstuffs will be redisposed of only through retail trading with citizens and that the military and naval forces will not be given or sold any part of it. (COREASE IN WHEAT ACREAGE Oklahoma Heads List of States for Wheat With 515,000 Acres. Washington.—Responding to the plea for the planting of more food crops and less cotton, nearly 4,000,000 acres devoted to cotton last year have been planted to wheat and oats a year, according to a report of the department of agriculture. With an increase of more than 500,000 acres, Oklahoma heads the list of eleven states on which figures were compiled concerning the increase in wheat. South Carolina shows the greatest increase in oats with 336,000 acres more than in 1913. The estimated figures as made public by the department of agriculture were: Planted in oats, fall of 1913, 2,455,000; 1914, 4,355,000. Planted in wheat fall of 1913, 5,- 459,000; 1914, 7,271,000.

There were seventy-six passengers, many of them women, and thirty-two members of the crew on board. The monetary loss to the ship is placed at $120,000; to the cargo at $10,000. Passengers lost heavily in personal property. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR BILIOUS, HEADACHY, SICK "CASCARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and polsons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. Never Got Through Beresford Book. During the Boxer rebellion in China one of the missionaries was reading Lord Charles Beresford's book on "The Break-up of China" while the bullets of the Boxers were raining round. He had not gone very far into the volume when the pages wooed him to sleep. The book lay beside him on the pillow. Biff-ff-ff! came a Mannlicher bullet through the window, in a bee line for the man's head, but Lord Charles' book lay in the bee line. The bullet stuck in the book, but failed to penetrate it. The missionary jumped up, gave thanks for his escape, packed up the book ready for the first parcel post, and addressed to Lord Charles Beresford with a polite note. He said: "My Lord—I think it only right to send you this copy of your excellent book . . . as neither myself nor the Boxers' bullets can get through it." OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO HELP SUFFERERS FROM KIDNEY, LIVER AND BLADDER TROUBLES. I am frequently troubled with kidney and bladder trouble, especially in the Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran of the Civil War, a little exposure or cold settles on my kidneys, and then I am laid up with kidney or bladder trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root was recommended to me a number of years ago, and I took a number of bottles of it and was more than pleased with the results. I consider Swamp-Root the greatest and best kidney medicine on the market and it never fails to give quick results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble and lame back. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done me so much good that I feel if any words of mine will be the means of relieving any poor sufferers, that you are at liberty to use this letter as you see fit. GEORGE W. ATCHLEY, 1786 Walker St. Des Moines, Iowa. State of Iowa Poke County A. R. Hansen, a retail druggist of this city, being first duly sworn deposes and says, that he is well acquainted with George W. Atchley, who gave the above testimonial; that said Atchley made and signed said testimonial in my presence and that I have sold said Atchley a part of the Swamp-Root referred to in above testimonial. Affiant further says that George W. Atchley is a well known citizen of this city and an honorable man, and that it was Mr. Atchley's desire to give said testimonial. A. R. HANSEN.

Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You Send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample size bottle. It will convince anyone. You will also receive a booklet of valuable information, telling about the kidneys and bladder. When writing, be sure and mention this paper.

Dear Co-Workers and Friends: The Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs now have a bill before the legislature asking for the establishment of a State Training School or Reformatory for wayward and incorrigible Negro boys and girls. We are earnestly requesting the help and co-operation of all Club women of the State, in securing its passage. As is well known, we now have no place in the State, for the care and training of our wayward youth, consequently many of our boys and girls who might be trained into useful men and women, are drifting into those forms of crime which will ultimately make them confirmed criminals. a disgrace to the race and a menace to society. We are asking the assistance of not only the Club women, but of every worth while organization in the State We earnestly solicit the help of the Ministerial Alliance, the Fraternal Orders, the Commercial Clubs, the Medical and Bar Associations and any others who might feel inclined. We trust that the clubs and these organizations will, as a body, write letters to each Senator and Representative from your district, setting forth the great need of such an institution and urging them to support the bill. We also trust that each will make as great personal effort as possible. We are trying to bring every influence to bear upon the members of the Assembly, and if we would receive the consideration from them, which we hope to do it will mean the concerted action of our people all over the State. Please give this matter your earnest consideration and pray for our success. Yours for "Lifting as we Climb." MRS. H. P. JACOBSON.

How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children {t's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physte simply don’t realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli- clous “California Syrup of Figs.” Ite action 1s positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take tt; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet: en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row. Ask at the store for a 60-cent bottle of “California Syrup of@Figs,” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly op each bottle. Adv.

Washington. — Answering nineteen separate and specific charges, calling Attention to the fact that the United States government has promptly taken to task Great Britain, France and other allied powers, and declaring that every possible effort was being put forth to protect these rights and maintain the strict neutrality of the United States to the Huropean nations at war, the United States government has issued a lengthy defense of its tn terpretations of the rights and duties of a neutral, A document 5,000 words long, pre- pared by President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing of the state department, after several days’ of consultation, was made public in the form of a letter from the sec- retary of state to Senator Stone of Missour!, chairman of the senate com- mittee on foreign relations. While the letter fs a reply to an In- quiry from Senator Stone for infor- mation as a result of complaints made in the press and in letters from vari- ous parts of the country, charging the Washington government with unfair- ness to Germany and Austria, it also is intended as a pronouncement of pol- Jey on some questions of neutrality previously unexplained. Concerning War Munitions After answering nineteen separate and specific charges and calling at- tention to the fact that the United Btates has promptly taken to task Great Britain as well as Germany and every government which in any way has infringed upon the rights of this country, the letter concludes with the following declaration on the much dis: cussed question of exportation of war munitions: “If any American citizens, partisans of Germany and Austria-Hungary, feel that this administration fs acting in a way injurious to the cause of those countries this feeling results from the fact that on the high seas the German and Austro-Hungarian naval power 1s thus far inferior to the British, It is the business ef a belligerent operating on the high seas, not the duty of a | neutral, to prevent contraband from |reaching an enemy. ‘Those in this | oountry who sympathize with Ger. many and Austria-Hungary appear to | ssume that some obligation rests upon this government in the perform: | ance of its neutral duty, to prevent | all trade in contraband and thus equal- | (ze the difference due to the relative | naval strength of the belligerents, No | such obligation exists; it would be an |unneutral act, an act of partiality on the part of this government to adopt tuch a policy if the executive had | the power to do so, “It Germany and Austria-Hungary |tan not import contraband from this tountry it is not because of this fact, / the duty of the United States to close Its markets to the allies. The mar- [kets of this country are open upon | equal terms to all the world, to every | nation, belligerent or neutral.” | During the course of the letter's dis- | sussion of the serious charges made, |the following facts hitherto undis- closed were revealed for the first jime: | That the Canadian government ro- [tently asked the United States for permission to ship “war equipment” teross Alaska to the sea and the re- quest was refused. | Protest to Allies. | That the United States has brought | to the attention of an “offending gov- |ernment” the searching of an Amer- lean vessel for German-Austrian sub- fects, “with a declaration that such procedure, if true, is an unwarranted txercise of jurisdiction over American vessels in which this government will not acquiesce.” The government to whom this de- slaration has been made war not stated in the letter, but the incident 8 known to relate to the search by a boarding crew from a French cruiser of an American ship plying between two ports in Colombia, when it 1s al- leged some German passengers were forced to sign a promise not to par: Malnate tn this wank, 16 eke tke ae TULSA, OKLA, STAR That sharp representations als were made to another of the alliec governments because search was con ducted on the high seas on an Amer {ean ship for German and Austriar passengers. The name of the vessel or offending government was not re vealed. That on December 16 last the Ger man ambassador by direction of hit government delivered a memorandur to the United States government stat ing that “under the general principles of international law, no exception car be taken to neutral states letting war material go to Germany's enemies from or through neutral territory.” ‘That representations were made to both Japan and Great Britain against the continued presence of their war: ships off American ports and that the protests in each case was heeded. ‘That since the announcement of the Washington government's disapproval of war loans, none has been made to foreign governments by this country, A distinction is vcawn officially for the first time between loans floated by popular subscription and large credit transactions for the purchase of war supplies, the state department revealing that it has no objection te the latter, Fair to All. In a general way the letter sets forth that rules of neutrality have been promulgated by the American government without discrimination and have been applied with equal fairness to all concerned. It cites in stances of violations by Germany and Great Britain and asserts that protests have been unhesitatingly entered re gurdless of the country offended. GERMANS LOSE ANOTHER CRUISER Disastrous End to Venture Into the North Sea London.—The German armored cruiser Blucher was sunk and two other German cruisers were “serious ly damaged” in a running fight with 4 British patrolling squadron in the North Sea, according to an announce ment by the British official press bu reau. None of the British ships were sunk and only light casualties were report ed by the British fleet.

Dermatologists Have Made Discovery, and Give Valuable Advice to the Affficted. There {s reason to believe that there 1s a close connection between many forms of skin trouble and the dlet. One significant thing is the singular stubbornness of many skin disorders and their mysterious tendency to recur even when the physician continues the form of treatment that at first seemed to act as a cure Among these rebel- lious skin troubles are acne, eczema, psorlasis and urticaria, All four dis- eases are likely to respond to treat- ment at first, but too often they return obstinately, as a stream of water re- turns when it has been swept back by ‘@ broom. ‘That common characteristic has set the physicians searching for some common underlying cause. As @ re- sult of their investigations it is gen- erally believed that there {s a direct relation between the metabolism—that 1s to say, the chemical changes by which food is transformed into body tlssue—and the condition of the skin. But although we accept it as a fact that many kinds of skin trouble are dependent on the diet, it fs still nec- essary to experiment with each case until we have found the particular diet that fs best for it. After that has been accomplished there is constant need for the patient to exercise all the self- control he possesses, for these obsti- nate skin disorders cannot be cured in @ few days or even a few weeks, A regulated diet does not mean sim- ply going without this or adding that article of food. One leading dermatol- ogist has defined it as “such a regula- tion of the quantity and quality of food and drink, its mode of preparation, and the time and method of its con- sumption as shall conduce to the res- toration and maintenc.ce of the health of the body, including the skin.” The patient, therefore, must co-operate faithfully with his physician or the cure will fail—Youth’s Companion.

The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work, and it was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were re markable, even for Grape-Nuts, “Both husband and I use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a day's march.” Many mothers instead of destroying the children’s stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand. ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg: ging for something in the way of sweets, The result fs soon shown in greatly increased health, strength and mental activity.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which ts mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 60 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as {t does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy— Ady.
