The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
g' od, even color, which is quite sensi
ble, as we are living In an age when a
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound" for about 50 cents
a bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but vliat delights the
ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also produces that soft luster and ap
pearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair. —Ad-

ECZEMA
Get Immediate Relief in a
Simple, Inexpensive Way
Stop at H. C. Kennedy's and get 50
cents' worth ftf antiseptic Uc&nol, ap
ply it to the itching, inflamed surface
of the skin and get relief immediately.
A liberal size box of Ucanol never
costs more than 50 cents at any good
druggist's and if after using you feel
that it has not done what you expect
ed, go to the store where you bought
it and get your money back—it will be
handed to you without any questions.
If you haven't heard of Ucanol before,
Just remember that it is a marvelous
ointment that works wonders with
skin troubles of ail kinds, and accom
plishes a cure in a wonderfully short
space of time. It is the newest remedy
for eczema, salt rheum, tetter, bar
ber's itch, pimples, chafing, and simi
lar skin ailments.
Ask anybody who has used Ucanol
and they will sound, its praises to the
skies. So will you after you have used
it. Ucanol gives relief so quickly that
you will be nothing short of amazed.
It contains no mercury, lead, or dan
gerous ingredients of any kind, and is
as safe to use on baby's tender skin as
on grown folks'
Take, for instance, a face full of
ugly, disgusting and inflamed pimples.
Apply Ucanol and see how the face is
cleared up. Pimply-faced people have
been waiting for years for something
like Ucanol to be discovered, and here
it is at last.—Advertisement.

"Into Post Office by Christmas
1916" Is Slogan of Con
-1 tractor on Job
Under the efficient methods enV
ployed by James J. Molloy, contractor
in charge of the remodeling of the
Post Office and additions in Federal
Square, the work is going along
smoothly, and the prospects are that
the new annex will be ready for oc
cupation well before the time limit
mentioned in the contract. Instead
of "Out of the trenches by Christmas,"
the slogan of the men in charge of
this work may well be "Into the Post
Office by Christmas, 1916."
The work is necessarilv slowed up
by reason of the fact that brick and
granite samples must be sent from
practically every quarry in the United
States in order to make sure that the
present material will be matched as
closely as it is possible to match It.
The contractor is trying to give the
local dealers and subcontratcors the
preference, all things being equal, and
a special attempt is being made to
avoid discommoding the people in the
olttc-es above. The force now working
will be increased from time to time as
the orders for materials are filled.
The present force has been on the job
since the arrival of Contractor Molloy
in the middle of Xovember.

ORPHGUM
To-night—Winthrop Ames Presents the
Little Theater New York Success, "A
Pair of Silk Stockings."
Thursday, matinee and night, December
23—"Hello Girls."
Saturday (Christmas), matinee and
night, December 25—"At the Old
Cross Koads."
"A PAIR OF SILK STOCKINGS"
Direct from an all season's engage
ment at Winthrop Ames' Little Theater
in New York City, "A Pair of iSilk
Stockings," Cyril Harcourt's delightful
comedy of English society life comes
to the Orpheum to-night.
Hector Turnbull, dramatic critic of
the New York Tribune, in reviewing the
play on the opening night of its all sea
son's run at the Little Theater in that
city last year, gave an excellent idea
of the impression created by the play
in the following: "Not only has the
playwright drawn a faithful and en
gaging pictures of that much maligned
type, English gentlefolk, but he has I
handled a delicate situation with such
a brave show of disarming British
wholesomeness that our familiar
Frenchy, bedridden farces appears sad
stuff in comparison. Articles of wo
man's attire, generally completely con
cealed in comedy and vulgarly ilauntel
In farce, are disclosed to a delighted au
dience, fulfilling a purpose both utili
tarian and artistic.—Advertisement.
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BUY YOUR
RED CROSS STAMPS FROM "THE
BETTING BETTYS?"
After you have seen "The Betting
Bettys," the dandy girlie musical com
edy that is heading the vaudeville bill
at the Majestic this week, wouldn't you
like to dig down deep in your pocket
book and buy some Red Cross stamps
from these pretty damsels as they
saunter up and down the aisles? This
Is a little added stunt to their daily
routine, and yesterday the pretty girls
of the attraction did remarkably well
in their sales. All during the rest of
the week "The Betting Bettys" will
continue their little stunt and accord
ing to the start they have had, they
will likely vie for honors with the
"Honey Girls," who sold lots of them at
the Orpheum last Christmas. A comedy
gem of this offering is the ecentric line
of jest and song handed out by Rock
well and Wood. These clever funsters
are original from the getaway and they
are scoring the laughing hit of the bill.
Other splendid Keith turns of the bill
include Gwynne and Gossette, Billy El
wood and Helene and Emilon. Inter
esting moving picture features are in
cluded in the program also.—Advertise
ment.
"MARTYRS OP THE ALAMO" AND
"SAVED BY WIRELESS" ON ONH
BILL
The pretentiousness of the Colonial's
current Triangle program, together
with the genuine merit of both fea
tures, is certainly proving to be several
hours of the best entertainment thea
tergoers can possibly find anywhere in
town. The excellent drama, another
Griffith triumph, entitled, "The Martyrs
of the Alamo," is historical and roman
tic, dealing with incidents based on ac
tual history in the early days of Mexico.
The second feature of the same offering
is entitled, "Saved by Wireless," a Mack
Sennett thriller, that stars Mack Swain
and Chester Conklin, and is as exciting
in some places as It is amusing In
others. Intrigue, espionage, hair
breadth escapes, an automobile and mo
torcycle race and a blown up yacht all
figure in this exciting production.—Ad
vertisement.
GERALDIKE FARRAR IN "CARMEN,"
RETURNS TO THE REGENT TO
DAY AND TOMORROW
An event that has been anxiously
awaited for by the photoplay fans is
the return to-day and to-morrow of
Geraldlne Farrar, the world's greatest
prima donna, in the original plcturlza
tlon of "Carmen," at the Regent.
"Carmen" is one of the greatest char
acterizations of Miss Farrar, the prima
donna of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, and the production stands In a
class by itself as a remarkable inter
pretation of one of the most famous
roles in operatic literature. The film
possesses photo-dramatic possibilities
such as held by few operas. Miss Far
rar declared that through the medium
of the screen she is reaching an audi
ence of uncounted thousands and hun
dreds of thousands who, perhaps, have
beard of her. but who, because of the
limitations of opera and concert have
never heard her sing or saw her act.
The Lasky Company paid Miss Farrar
at the rate of $2.00 a minute for the
time she actually was engaged In mak
ing the picture. The "Carmen" musio
will be played on our four-manual pipe
organ by Professor Wallace and Miss
Merchant, and this will be a big treat
in itself.—Advertisement.
BEATRICE MICHELENA IN «»U,T4-
TION NELL" AT THE VICTORIA
TODAY ONLY
The photo-play, "Salvation Nell," Is
based on Edward Sheldon's successful
drama of the same name and clearly
traces Its source of Inspiration to
"All Sorts and Conditions of Men"
written by the late Walter Besant on
the topic of early days of the Salva
tion Army in London, where it was
founded in the 60's by the late General
Booth.
Booth set out to rescue the sub
merged tenth in London's vast East
End—cesspool df crime, poverty, dis
ease, all mostly caused by drink.
"Salvation Nell." the modern play, il
lustrates conditions in New York
which Booth saw and started to grap
nle with in the Old World, long before
Mr. Sheldon produced his play. Still
every credit Is due Mr. Sheldon. For
long Palvatlonlsm was Jeered at. Its
professors were cuiTed and stoned.
The older rellglonaries hated it.
That's what they all do when any
thing new and progressive comes
along. Don't blame them; it's human
nature.
Beatrice Mlehelena has the part of
her life In that of the adventurous
Nell, whn after all her vicious troubles
and lurid vicissitudes Is redeemed by
the Army. The photoplay makes a
wide appeal and Is very well and care

ing cast. To-morrow we present for
the first time In this city Edwin Arden
In "The Gray Mask."—Advertisement.

"But modern Ingenuity has added
something to the older roles of the
carrier pigeon—and has turned him
into a photographer. The only au
thenticated reports of the pigeon's
use for this purpose have been of a
German Invention, some of the
pigeons having been brought down

allies have tried the same means of
getting photographs of German en

MONUMENT UUII/r TO
AN APPLE TREE
Perhaps one of the most curious
monuments in existence has recently
been built In Ontario by Canadians.
The farmers have Just erected a mar
ble pillar to mark the sit on which
grew a famous apple tree.
More than a century ago a settler
DECEMBER 17, 1915.
in Canada named Mcintosh, when
clearing a space tn make a home In
the wilderness, discovered among a
number of wild apple trees one which
bore fruit so wall that he' cultivated
it and named it "Mcintosh red.
The apple became famous; seeds
and cuttings were distributed to all
parts of Canada, so that now the Mc
intosh red flourishes wherever apples
grow In the great Dominion. In 1896,
the original tree from which this enor
mous ItuuUx Bfir&oi: hw lxUured by.
Are; but it continued to bear fruit un
til Ave years ago. Then, after fifteen
years, It died, and the grateful farm
ers have raised a marble pillar In
honor of the tree which has done so
much for the fruit growing Industry,
of their land.
The story of tliis apple tree illus
trates the African proverb that
though you can count the apples on
one tree, you can never count the
trees In one apple.—January. Popular
