EASY TO DU
i YOUR GRAY HAIR
Vou Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
AND SULPHUR
When you darken your hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no
Ine can tell, because it’s done so
naturally, so evenly. Preparing
this mixture, though, at home is
massy and troublesome. At lit
tle cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation
Improved by the addition of other
iagredients called Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur compound. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at a time. By morning all gray
hair disappears, and after another
application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and
as we all desire a youthful arid
attractive appearance, get busy
at once with Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound and look years
younger.—(adv.)

HUGE GEM HOT
IS REVEALED BY
Washington, Nov. 13.—Agents 1
of the customs service have suc-J ]
ceeded in breaking up one of the
greatest smuggling conspiracies
in recent years, it was disclosed
last night at the treasury.
It was said tnat customs agents
in half a dozen sections of the
country in recent months have
seized and identified smuggled
jewelry valued at more than a
quarter of a million dollars.
The agents’ efforts were inaug
urated with the killing at Loti
Angeles last August of Mrs. The
resa Mors, with whose murder
“Fid” McCoy has been charged.
Smuggler Flees from U. S.
Today the agents in New York
notified the treasury they had un
wound details of the smuggling
operation. The treasury was in
formed that a man named Medi
anski, now in flight to a foreign
country, was the person who ac
tually brought the jewelry in.
The fact that the trail was
picked up on the death of Mrs.
Mors, it was stated, was regard
ed as having no significance in
so far as her death itself was
concerned.
Victims All Over Country
Victims of the conspiracy were
numbered by officials at “several
hundred,” scattered widely over
the country.
The agents have seized all the
jewelry they have been able to
find but it was said that as much
would never be uncovered.
Innocent purchasers have stow
ed it away in safe places or are
wearing it not knowing its origin.
The jewelry possessed by Mrs.
Mors was the first to be identified
positively. From the beginning,
the agents ran down a series of
dues in Pacific coast cities, it
was said. They found much jew
elry both in San Francisco and
Los Angeles, the latter city,
where Mrs. Mors had her home,
Atlanta Wednesday and spent the
d#y with friends. They were ac
companied home by Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick Batchy, of Toledo, Ohio.
Among those from Thomaston
shopping in Griffin Thursday was
Mrs. G. T. Wheelis.
Mrs. J. H. Rivers, of Concord,

TEXAS JUDGE NOT
il
Houston, Texas, Nov. 13.—The
iast hope jf-saving four prisoners
at the Basset Blakely prison farm
from being flogged, “if the flog
ging hasn’t already taken place,”
proved futile Wednesday when
Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson re
fused to intervene.
Judge Hutcheson declined to
grant a petition which would re
strain Captain Buck Ross,, mana
ger of the prison farm, from lash
ing the four men, he had accused
of mutinous conduct and impu
dence, Judge Hutcheson’s grounds
were that it was not wtihin his
jurisdiction to interfere.
The state penitentiary commis
sion peridots this form of punish
ment. Attorney George W.. Dix
on, who took up the fight, after
a letter from the prisoners to- a.
newspaper had been printed, said
he would take the matter up with
Governor Neff.
Rumors that the whipping
which was to have been held “one
day this week,” had already taken
place, were neither denied nor
affirmed at the prison farm Wed
