Metcalf Principal DARKEN GRAY HAIR LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally that Nobody Oan Tell. Almost everyofie knows that Sage Tea and Sulplur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; . also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years-ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home which is mussy and trouble- some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for '"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and eveuly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush witn it and draw this through your hair, taking one smal strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and 'after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifuliy dark, thick and glossy.

THOMPSON, pro». A Message To Thin, Weak, Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to "Gain 10 to 30 Lbs. of Solid, Healtlyy, Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "1 can't understand why I do not get fat 1 eat plenty of good, nourishing food."' The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, uniess your di- gestive organs assimilate the fat- waking elements 'of your food in- stead of passing them out through the body as waste What. is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative func- tions of the stomach and'intestines' to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood. where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry. sponge----eager and hungry for the fatty .matertals of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimen- tary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building el- ements and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by physie- fang here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, cover. ing each bony angle and projecting point, Your druggist has Sargol, or can get it from his wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in #ch package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. Caution :~~While Sargol has pro- duced remarkable results in.over- coming nervous dyspepsia and gen- eral stomach troubles, it should not be taken unless you are willing to Hain ten pounds or more, for it fea v onderful flesh-builder, » SIRJAMES MURRAY HAS NEARLY f CONPLETED DICTIONARY. | -- ' The Man Who Assembled Three Hung dred Thousand Words Into a Sin gle Work With All Their Subtle "Shades of Meaning 1s a Scotsmap aud a Boru Lexicographer -- He Has Spent 34 Years on the Task. To marshall more than 300,000 words In perfect order, to trace their gneestry, often along the faintest paths of the past and beyond the re- gions of history, to show how change bas left its mark upon them, to set forth their partnerships, to unmask them in their disguises, to discover what various meanings men in all times and. places have ascribed tp them--in a word, to produce the "New English Dictionary," that i the stupendous literary labor which, with the publication of a further sed- tion of Sir Jaries Murray's lifes work, reaches the end of another af its concluding stages. Three hundred thousand words. Such is the size and might of the English language -- 300,000 main, | compound, and subordinate words, made out of the raw material of 28 letters, and minted from every im- portant language in the world. When you think of this colossal work, and when you meet the general who commands this huge parade of the English language, it is only nat- ural to think first of Dr. Johnsoy, who called the earliest roll-call of the words of our tongue--to compare the two men and-their works. Dr. John- son began his dictionary at the age of thirty-nine; Sir James Murray was forty-two when he commenced his great lifework. Both were wrong labor wonld take. Dr. Johnson 'had no doubt" that he could finish his task in' three years, and when Dr Adams objected that the French Aca- demy of forty persons took forty years to complete their dictionary, the doctor growled out: *'Sir, thus it is, This is the proportion. Let mg see; forty times forty, is 1,600. As three to 1,600, so is the proportion of an Englishman to a Frenchman." Dr, Johnson, during the seven years, poured out many other works; he received but little help; he was troubled with bad health. He made many mistakes; he put into his work expressions of his own likes, and hates, epigrammatic and mordant flashes from his own mind, such as: Patriotism.---Love of eountry; the last refuge of a scoundrel. Oats.--A grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scot- land supports the people." Pension, --In England generally understood to mean, pay given to a state hireling for treason to his coun- try. And how the two magnitude! instances at random. Under. the let- ter "N' down to the word 'niche' Johnson gave 284 words; Sir James Murray gives 2,469. In the first case there are 833 quotations to illustrate the use of the words; in the secend, 17,2373. Sir James Murray is the ideal dic tionary miuker; wide 'as the poles asunder is he from that curious mix- ture of characteristic which went to make Dr. Johnson, Like Dr. Johnson, he has erred in one thing. He thought that his dictionary would be completed 'in twelve years, but he told me a little while ago, "I hope we shall finish it in four years' time --in 1917. In that year I shall be eighty, and shall celebrate my gold: en wedding, So we must have a tri- ple feast.' : It was at a time when this veteran was working fifteen hours a day- Sharder than I have ever worked in my life before!" -- that I disturbed him in his little clearing-house of the English language It is now nearly thirty year since the dictionary's "home' the Seriptorium, it is called -~a house of wood and corrugated iron, was erecled at the rear of Sh James' suburban residence at Oxford. And thirty-four years of unremit- ling labor in this unique workshop has not dimmed the enthusidsm of the great dictionary maker. He comes to his desk every morning with the same, if, indeed, not a greater enthusjasm; times does not bring weariness. Still he talks of words with eyes that light up with pleas- ure. He picks one out of a praofl- sheet which lies in front of him, traces it for you down through the ages, tells you its meaning in one 'hemisphere, its significance in an other. A pypical Borderer, tall, with heavy moustache, and white, flowing beard, with the high forehead of a scholar, he recalls almost exactly that other great investigator in a widely differ- ent field of human endeavor, Charles Darwin, Sir James Murray was born in 1837, in. the little Border village of 'Denholm, five miles from Hawick, the birthplace also of John Leyden, friend of Sir Walter. Scott, an Orfen- talist of great jemius and a poet of more than ordinary rank. It was in the busy little manufacturing town of Hawick that the young man spent seyeral years in scholastic work, and "Works differ in ber him as their master. When he left Hawick in 1864, it was to fill the position of foreign cor- respondent in the Oriental Bank, Lon- don. Six years later he became a master at Mill Hill School. Two years before this date the Dictionary was first projected as the result of the ap- peal of Dean Trench, author of a nufuber of learned papers on the Bag- lish language. Under the first editor, Mr.- Herbert Coleridge, a great- nephew of the poet, and his suecces- sor, Dr. Furnivail, a vast amount of material was gathered together. No- thing, however, was published, and n Dr. Furnivall's death something ke' a crisis oecurred in the Diction- ary history, It was at this juncture that Mr. Murray came upon the scene. . Prisee William of Wied left yes terday on the way to Fondon' and Baris to pay. his Toupects to King fieorge of Fngland and President Poincare; of France, bhelore assuming the. soverelgnity of 'Albenie, ip their calculations as to the time thé' Let me take a couple al many of the oldest inhabitant remem- | Since the death of Memelik Eng- land bas been looking with 'anxious eyes upon Abysainia, for there is con- siderable disorder in that country. Territory amounting to 8,000 square miles was ceded by the late negus to British Somaliland in 1897. All alobg the frontier bandit tribes have been collecting" and threatening fhe cen- tral government. If, 'as the indica- tions suggest, there is destined to be a series of wars to establish one of the many claimants to the throre, destitution ameng the 'Abyssinians will increase, and so will raids on British surrounding territory. Mene- lik had a great regard as well as a wholesome fear of the Dritish Gov- ernment. With little authentic known about the Emperor Menelik, he did enough in his own obscure corner of the world to establish the reputation of |' being one of the most remarkable men whom the negroid race has pro- duced in recent years. The descen- dant, as he boasted, of the Queen of Sheba, when he ascended ihe throne of Ethiopia he had to face a country riven among a score of petty states and principalities. He bad to estab- lish order and introduce the rudi- ments of civilization. This he accomplished by calling to his aid the science and arts of Eu- rope. He crushed the minor chiefs who opposed him and abolished slav- ery. He fostered the means of com- munication and encouraged agricul- ture. He even built railroads and en- couraged his people to trade with the outside world. Fenced in by fierce Mohammedans, Abyssinia remained upknown to Eu- rope a thousand years. Still shut off from the sea by Italian Eritrea and British and French Somaliland, it' is a hermit kingdom where almost any- thing may happen. Scotchman Got the Best of Them. Jack B., whe paints portraits and. incidentally, is the father of William Butler Yeats, the Irish poet, is a re gular patron of a certain New York restaurant Among the habitues of this place he has acquired a reputa- tion as a raconteur. "In my part of Ireland," he tells, "there was a noisy Scotchman whose abuse of everything Irish riled the neighbors considerably. At first, how ever, he refrained from bragging about Scotland, and we decided fo wait until he should be guilty of that indiscretion before acting drastically. "The chance came at last. He liad been swearing at the Irish' peat fires, the Mish rain and the Irish spuds, and ended up by, saying that, 'Hoo, mon, Scotland was verra deeferent 1t was a land flowing with milk and honey.' "Well, we went for him. Scotland we pointed out, was known to be a barren waste inhabited by starve lings, and the Biblical guotation he | had used could not have been mote | outrageously misapplied *He looked us over with his canny eye Ye're wrang, he said, 'and 1 can prove it. Scotland flowed with milk, and maybe honey, all the time that I was there, I left when I wags ten months auld'."
