TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est 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, improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound." It is very popular be
cause nobody can discover it has
been applied. 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 what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
'darkening the hair after a few ap
plications, it also produces that soft
luster and appearance of abundance
Which is so attractive.

TUESDAY EVENING,
David Dunlap, Dead at 90,
Saw Harrisburg Grow
in Busy Half Century
DAVID DUNLAP %
David Dunlap, who died yesterday
at his home, 1829 North Seventh
street, was the oldest resident of the
upper section of the city, being 90
years old and having lived in the
hous where he died for well night a
half century.
Born in Ireland he came to this
country when a lad and after a few
years spent in Philadelphia, removed
to Harrisburg, taking up his residence
in the Seventh street house where
he lived all the remainder of his life.
When he took up his residnce there
Seventh street was known as Penn
sylvania avenue, and that part of
town mits still outside the city limits.
Cornifelds, berry patches and celery
plots were all about him and not a
house stood between him and Jfixth
street. Ho saw the city gradually
grow up to him and pass him, the
open fields from Reily street North
slowly giving place to row after row
of houses until now Harrisburg ex
tends more than two miles North of
the old Dunlap,. residence.
Nearly a half century ago Mr. Dun
lap helped to organize what was at
the time known as the Seventh Street
Presbyterian Church, which was lo
cated on North Seventh street near
what is now Pcflter street, and later
saw the little chape), picked up bodily
and moved to Peffev and Fifth street,
where it has since given place to
the Covenant Tresbyterlan Church,
with which Mr. Dunlap maintained
membership until his death.
Few men have seen more remark
able changes in Harrisburg than did
he, and few better known in the lo
cality in which he resided. Of ro
bust physique, a friend of everybody
who would be a friend with him, hard
working, thrifty and devoted to his
family, he was still a man of many
quiet charities and beloved of those
who benefited by his secret benevo
lences. Few except those who receiv
ed his kindly ministrations knew of
this side of his nature.
Funeral services will be held to J
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
pallbearers will be Mr. Dunlap's four
sons, William J., Robert N., Charles
W. and David Dunlap, Jr. After a
short service at the home, the body
will be taken to Covenant Presby
terian Church, where Mr. Dunlap
was for over fifty years a member.
Services at the church will be con
ducted by the Rev. Harvey Klaer,
pastor of the church. Burial will
be made in the Harrisburg Ceme
tery.
JOHN MULLEN
John Mullen, aged 49 years, a for
mer Harrisburger, died suddenly in
New Y'ork, October 23. He is sur
vived by a brother, Peter Mullen, of
Harrisburg. The funeral will be held
to-morrow morning. Services at St.
Patrick's Cathedral at 9 o'clock, the
Rev. D. J. Carey officiating. Burial
will be made in Mt. Calvary Ceme
tery. The body may be viewed this
evening between 7 and 9 o'clock at
the funeral chapel of George H.
Sourbier, 1310 North Third stret.

That they make an effort to con
tribute at least $1 to the 830,000

give what they can. Subscriptions
may be made from 10 cents to 810,-
000.
That they be prompt in joining
the Red Cross or renewing their

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT
ON GARDEN MEANS MUCH
William S. Glover Made Remarkable Record on Small j
Building Lot in West End of the City
"'Unless we have the extra hour of
daylight which has been the case
during the last two years," said Wil
liam S. Glover, of 333 Muench street,
"1 cannot get the results In my war
garden that were possible during
the last two seasons. Through the
extra hour of daylight I was able to
look after the garden and to grow
considerable produce."
Mr. Glover made a remarkable
record with his little war garden a
year ago, but has surpassed that
record in the season which just clos
ed. lie not only provided his fam
ily with abundant fresh vegetables
throughout the season but was able
to can, preserve and pickle 182
quarts of vegetables all produced on
a lot 18x94 adjoining his home and
which he was permitted to use by
the owner.
Hs total expenditure this year for
seeds and manure was $4.18 and
this is what he raised: One crop of
string beans, six bushels; a second
crop of string beans, six-and-a-half
bushels; pole beans, three and three
quarter bushels, lima beans, 15
quarts; tomatoes, live bushels; let-

small piece of land.

his family consumed during the sea

Chile Gives Bolivia
Outlet to Pacific by
Ceding Strip of Land
liy Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 4.—Chile has
again given Bolivia an outlet to tife
Pacific ocean by ceding a strip of
land north of the province of Arlca,
according to official advices re
ceived here to-day.
Details as to the extent and exact I
location of the territory reported to
have been ceded were not given in
the dispatches.
Bolivia was cut off from the Pa
cific thirty-five years ago. when
Chile captured the provinces of
Arica and Tacna from Bolivia and
Peru. The territory, in which is lo
cated the world's greatest supply of
nitrate, since has been in dispute
between Chile and Peru Dy reason
of the failure to carry out the pro
visions of the treaty between the
two countries calling for a plebeseite
in the provinces ten years after the
ratification of the treaty.
Bolivia's claims to the territory
apparently had not been given seri- '
ous consideration. After the end of
the war that country refused to ne
gotiate a treaty with Chile. A
treaty finally was ratified some ten
years ago, however, and recently Bo
livia sought to obtain an outlet to
the Pacific.
Some months ago signs were made
that the whole question be submit
ted to the League of Nations, and
Bolivia then was reported as deter
mined to submit is claims.
