Wm. A Barker;
EASY TO DARKEN ~
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
i Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it’s done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called “Wyeth’s Sago
and Sulphur Compound.” Tou 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 hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi
let requisite and not a medicine. It
is not Intended for the cure, mitiga- i
tion or prevention of disease.

An old resident of Lake Village
seeks to correct the impression tnac j
Lake Chicot was lower this summer '
than ever before and that the drouth
in Chicot county was a record break- j
! er. He points to the fact that in 1896 :
: there was no rain in Chicot county
from the 28th of April until the 30th
, day of August, and after that rain
there was not another until the 23rd
day of December. The lake at that
time was much lower than at any
time this summer.
It is probable landing fields for
airplanes will be prepared at Malvern

J from representatives of the War De
partment rules for laying out fields.
Two steel bridges have been erected
in Hempstead county recently and
two more will be erected in the near
future. Hempstead' county now has

Judge Byers purchased several steel
bridges in March, 1917, when steel
was much lower than now and thereby
saved the county a big sum of money.

and most thrilling of outdoor sports,
will be a feature attraction afternoon

wonderful Southern exposition. An
orchestra will blay daily in the worn
en’s building, and there will be numer
ous other unusual features to mak«
visitors feel at home.
PARTNERSHIP THAT WAS EVIL
Disastrous Results to the World Fol
lowed the Close Linking of
Diplomacy and Trade.
Familiar enough throughout the
Orient were the disillusioned drum
mers, cursing the heat in Kipling’s Ac
tion. sipping their brandy-pegs and
waiting for the local raja to liquidate
his bills. The last important Agure in
this stage of the relation of the west
ern trade to, eastern potentates was
that nonentity Abdul Aziz of Morocco
—important, because diplomacy and
trade at last faced the logical end of
their evil partnership. Once, It. Is said,
he met a camel caravan bearing his
most recent consignment of pianos
through the desert. The sultan ordered
a grand to be set up in the sands,
struck a few notes and galloped away
on his caparisoned Barb. The Stein
way remained a landmark for cara
I ains mini me ahip ovtitiuiic1 »u*
porstitton and broke it np for firewood.
All of which was romance of a kind
that inspired musical comedies, revolv
ing around the glorified drummer as
the power behind the throne, and 1 if
fabulous contracts. Rut there were re
wards more epochal than picturesque
as a result of this effort to hustle the
east. In Asia the story became fulfill
iar enough. It soon found an ugliei
sequel in Africa. The treasure trove
of Aladdin was exhausted in the
scrambles for concessions; the (lag fol
lowing trade soon outstripped it; anf
the rest is merely the “haut politique’
that culminated in the world war.—
W. G. Tiiickom-Fernandez in Asia
Magazine.
A Super-Word.
The recent vogue of the word “some1
as an adjective, in a sense for which
there is absolutely no synonym in the
dictionary, 1ms been the despair ol
many a parent and pedagogue. “Tilt
language is being pauperized,” tliej
cry. Nonsense. It would be nearer
the mark to say it is being vitalized
Watch a healthy schoolboy when h<
tells you he has just come from
“some” bail game, und you will per
ceive that the offending word has
ceased to be a mere linguistic sign and
has become a kinetic current withir
the body, a movement of the spirit
Some word, it! A true super-word, ir
fact. Philosophize on it—and on tht
kindred subject of slang—and you maj
discover why, when a man’s vocubu
lury begins to expand, his powers ol
expression are generally on the wane
—Harold Goddard in the Atlantic.
Did you read that America is the
leciding factor? Coming from Lord
Milner this statement is momntuous
and America is not coming in—she
has come in—America is in.
