BACK TO NATURE TO RESTORE GRAY HAIR Don't Use Dyes Sunshine and Air and Q-Ban Brings Back Natural Color in Simple, Easy Way Nature knows best, after all. Nature provides her remedies that even the I greatest human minds tind it hard to I 1 vat. But master scientists and chem ists have now found how to take advan- I tago of this fact—how to make Nature ' Mr-lp in performing what seems almost a marvel in restoring the actual, na- i tural color to gray or faded hair, evenly, permanently, safely—without I the use ot dangerous, dirty, sticky dyes or paints. I Chemical experts perfected Q-Ban Hah* Color Restorer alter many years >f .study. This preparation works in harmony with Nature in a wonderful way. All you need do is wet your hair yfith Q-Ban—which is not a dye—and th*n expose it to the Rood, pure, free air and sunshine. Repeat this daily for a little time and your hair will return evenly and gradually to its original, uniform shade. It will be glossy, lus trous, .soft, abundant and beautiful. Remember, Q-Ban does not pretend to work instant miracle*. Such claims belong to dyes. But it is certain, .sate and sane. Q-Ban s not a patent medi cine. The secret of Q-Ban's matchless re sults rests in a process of oxidation, from the oxygen in the air, which is brought about by exposure to the air and sunshine after y-Ban has been ap plied. It is in this way the scientists have summoned Nature to their aid and yours. Q-Ban Restorer is all ready to use. It is guaranteed to be as harmless as Na ture herself. It is the onlv guaranteed preparation of the kind and is sold under guarantee of your money back if not satisfied. A large bott'e for 50c. For sale at G. A.

MAN AND WOMAN ARE WATCHED IN MYSTERY [Continued From First Page] watched and arrests ore expected shortly. The woman had many ad mirers who were received in her apartment and much evidence in the shape of letters, photographs and clothing is being examined by the police. According to the detectives, a man and a woman are under surveillance, the man as the actual murderer, the I woman as his "best friend," who, it is believed, knows something about the crime. "If things turn out according.to our I plans we will have the slayer before I the day is over," said a detective. "It is only a question of time now, but we are certain we are on the right track, and there will be interesting develop ments." Captain of Detectives Tate said to day: "We are much nearer a solution than we were yesterday. This is one of the most perplexing crimes in re cent years, but it has not stumped us. "The mystery requires a process of elimination, a weeding out of all the dead woman's friends, She was ac quainted with so many lawyers, news papermen, physicians, businessmen, detectives, theatrical people, hotel men and others that we do not want to jump at any rash conclusion. lam cautioning my men to be absolutely certain of their ground before they do anything." Asked whether the son of a wealthy brewer up State, the son of a baseball magnate of this city and others whose names have been linked with that of Miss Colbert as acquaintances, are to be questioned, Captain Tate said: "W will question every person who knew Miss Colbert." The captain said there was no more reason to implicate a brewer's son Rnd a baseball man's son in the model's death than to believe that numerous other Philadelphjans who knew her were mixed up in it.

SEE YOU ALL IN HEAVEN SAYS MAN [Continued From First Page] 'round a fire with some fellow negroea at the Brownstone quarries, beyond Hummelßtown. Alone The condemned man, while a trifle nervous, didn't seem a bit depressed. He stood before Additional Law Judge McCarrell unattended by counsel. His attorney, W. J. Carter, who had been appointed by the court to defend him, ' is in Washington. He notified Districti Attorney Stroup, however, that he had nothing further to say on behalf of his client. And just before Judge McCarrell pronounced the sentence that the pris oner be "taken back to the Dauphin county jail, thence to the place of execution within the walls of the West ern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania In Center county, where a current of electricity of sufficient intensity to pro duce death shall be caused to pass through and through your body until you are dead," the court asked the customary question as to whether the defendant had anything to say as to why the penalty should not be im posed. The Sight Beyond "Only this, sah," Instantly replied Shepherd. "Ah knows what Ah'm a-goin' to face. Ah got notliin' ag in no man. All's not lookin' back. Ah's just' a-lookin' ahead to dat chair and to Gawd." "Then you have nothing more to say as to why tha sentence of the law should not bo pronounced?" asked the court. "No, sah, only, Judge, yo' honah, would you-all send mah body back to my folks?" The court said the proper authori ties would attend to that, and as he pronounced the sentence with solemn "And may God have inercy on your soul" Shepherd murmured a wistful "Thank you-all, sah."
