The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its na- tural color dates back to grandmo- ther's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and at- "tractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. 5 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays; by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound," you get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of ip ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural col or and beauty to the hair. "A _wellknown downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally fod evenly that nobody can tell it has béen applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at' a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an~ gther application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. ' Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful tolesrequisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It Is not intended for the eure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

A native of high caste | in India would, of course, not eat any meat that even the shadow of a | ing to Franee the Native troops have, | however, been granted certain re- ligious dispensations, not only with regard to food, but, in the case of Hindus, in being allowed to leave the boundaries of their own country, Doubtless a dip in the Ganges, for those who survive the war and re-. turn to India after it is over, will put matters right again! Neverthe- less, their caste rights as to food 'are 48 strictly observed as the exigen- cies of active service allow, The goats and sheep, chiefly Corsican and Swiss, purchased for their consump- tion, are sent up in a truck to rail- head alive, and are slaughtered by men of their own caste in a butchery arranged for the purpose, generally in a field or some open place in close proximity to the railhead. The Mohammedan will eat only goats or sheep slaughtered by having their throats cut, and the Hindu by their being beheaded. The latter method is carried out in the abattoir by a native hutcher with the aid of a cavalry sword at one fell swoop, and of the two methods is certainly to be recommended as being the most rapid and instantaneous death. 1 need hardly add. that the Native butchery is always looked on as an object of awe and interest, if not. of excitement, by the French inhabi- tants, and none the less by the Fng- lish soldiers, who consider it a tre: The Natives do not object to their meat being handled by English sol- diers, or to it being brought to them in the same lorry which also perhaps carries British ration beef, although the wow is a sacred animal to the Hindu and in the form of beef is nat- urally distasteful. The only point is that thle goat's moat or mutton in- tended for their consumptioh must not actually come into contact with the peel, and this is arranged for by & wooden barrier between .the two On one vecasion, however, the native rations for a certain regiment had Just been dumped on the side of the ragd, and were being checked by the dar, or Native quartermaster- se . When at a critical momeiit an old sow, followed -by her litter, came out of a farm gate and {nno- cently ran over the whole show. A lot of palaver followed amongst the Natives, und there was no alterna- tous at any price, and back they had' to be taken to' be exchanged. The pig is, of courfe, abhorrent to the Mussulman. One story in connection with 'the ratiowing of the Indian cavalry whilst in the trenches at Ypres in the summer of 1915 may be of interest. The cow being a sacred animal to the Hindu, it became ne- cessary to replace the usual tins of bully beef by a suitable 'substitute. "Pape's Diapepsin" Ends All Stom. < ach Distress in Five Minutes.

Mewburn, C.M.G., Minister of Militia and Defence, was issued from Ottawa: "Mothers of Canadian Soldiers. -- As the Chrixfinas season, dedicated by the immemorial custom of our race to domestic joys and the hap- piness of children, approaches, the thoughts of your countrymen turn to you." Many family circles are in complete, and at many firesides there Is the sadness of irreparable loss. The sacrifices which our country has made upon the altar of freedom and of justice are in the largest measure your offésing, sanc- tified by your suffering, ennobled by your resignation, made precious by your tears. To you, then, I say that that sacrifice has not been in vain, for it has contributed to the sure and certain victory of right over might, of liberty over ' intolérable oppression, of things lovely and of good report over things abominable and unspeakably evil. "Is there not, therefore, cause for Just and solemn pride that your sons were not found wanting when the testing time came, but were fore- most among men of valor and high spirit, eager to be their part in the most momentous syste in the his- Tory of $e world? "These men who RMt the shores of Canada were your sqns; bone of your bone, and flesh of) your flesh, Their sacrifice is your #acrifice, their suffering has been your suffering, and their honor is your honor. To you the nation offers its homage. gratitude, and respect. "The War is not yet over, though we have cause to be thankful for battles won, and for many signs that the enemy is weakening under our blows. The end is certain, but the only path to victory is that of fortitude and patience. To weaken now is to lose all. The blood of our brothers cries out to us from the ground, and the heroism of our gallant soldiers who hold our placed" in the battle line demands that we falter not, but that we do even as 1hey, and endure until the end. "Canadian mothers, . may this Christmas time bring happiness to your homes and peace to hearts that are sad; but may it also bring a high resolve that we will face every privation and exert every effort in order that this our most righteous cause, thé cause of -all the free peoples of the world, in which our honor aid gus interest are equally ta engaged, y be bro ious conclusion. ag 0 a \glor- .

It ig believed that in certain vaults it Constantinople there lie many hidden treasures of immense value belonging to the Sultan of Turkey. A throne of beaten gold, adorned with quantities of rubies, pearls; dia- monds, and ememnalds set in mosaic, 8 perhaps the most dazzling object n the treasury. Selim the First brought it from Persia early in the sixteenth century. There is a second throne of ebony and sandalwood, en- crusted with mother-of-pearl, . gold, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. Nowhere in the world are there orecious stones to compare with the two great emeralds found here: one of which weighs two kilograms and 8 28 large ar a man's hand, and the other of which Ig only a little smaller. There are diamonds" turquoises, rubles, emeralds, and pearls by the half-bushel. Formerly the jewels were kept in drawers, but when last seen they were in bowls, each of which held two gallons. In describing a luncheon that she attended in the harem of the present Sultan Miss Grace Ellisdn, author of "An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem," tells: of diamond flowers that stretched from shoulder . to shoulder of the High Controller of the harem apd of earrings-made in the shape of birds, holding in thelr beaks a rl as large as a cherry. The Sultaf's granddaughter, a child of twelve years of mge, she pictures as having her hair in a knot on the - top of her head inside a diamond crown, the front of her dress cover- ed with diamonds, and her hands en- cased in gold mittens studded with rubles and diamonds.

The available information for Ger, many concerns only the first eigh- teen month of the war. Dr. Meigs refers to the emphasis placed on en- abling mothers to care for their own children, A special committee of the Red Cross, for example, was organ- ized in Berlin for the care of mothers and infants The committee had a fund for needy mothers which it used for those mothers who brought their babies regularly to an infant-welfare station and who took care of them in their own homes. 3 The outstanding feature of the work in Paris seems to be the in- creased provision for maternity care: and in Belgium the establishment of canteens fog the feeding of mothers and of young children. Dr. Meigs speaks of the important part played by the military separa- tion allowances which are granted by foreign govérnments to the wives of enlisted men, either, as in Great Brit- ain and Canada, to the wives of all soldiers, or, as in France 'and Ger- many, to the wives who are In need because the family's wage-earner has been called to the colors. Furthermore, in each of these countries except Belgium a matern- ity benefit from Government funds, provided. hefore the war to certain mothers, has now been extended to- include either the wives of all en- listed men or all women who are re: ceiving the military separation aliow- ance. ie se The chiét preventive measure for protecting babies is to insure their intelligent care and nursing by healthy mothers in their own homes. | Notbing should be considered More important in war time than the strengthening and extending of pre- ventive work alréatly established for infant and maternal welfare, Who Opened Lusitania"s Safe? by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland, with the loss of 1,100 lives, she carried with her, among other rich freight, a consignment of diamonds in transit from New York to London, upon. which the Union Insurance Company of Bangor, Me., carried a risk of $13.60. i 'The company promptly paid he claim, and entered the $13,000 in its loss account.
