BULGARS BEATEN
BYTURKISHARNIY
Sultan’s Forces Victorious in
Battle, and Invade Belliger
ent Balkan Kingdom.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 18.—A
Turkish army has invaded Bugaria near
Mustapha Pacha and has defeated the
Bulgarian troops there.
Dispatches from the scene of action
state that fighting has been going on
over 48 hours and that the Turks have
made an advance of four hours march
into Bulgarian territory, driving back
the Bulgarians before them.
Mustapha Pacha is on the Adrianople
railway line twenty miles northwest of
the city of Adrianople. The battle be
gan Wednesday’ night before Turkey
had formally’ proclaimed war against
Bulgaria.
Frontier guards precipitated the en
gagement. but troops were brought up
by both opposing generals and fighting
soon became general. Having the ad
vantage of railway transportation, the
Turks were able to move greater bodies
of soldiers with speed, and their ad
vantage in numbers soon caused the
Bulgarians to fall back.
Night put an end to the engagement,
but it was resumed yesterday morning
and continued all day, with the Bul
garians stubbornly contesting each inch
of ground.
A message from Salonika says that
two Greek gunboats, which yesterday
ran the Turkish forts in the Gulf of
Arta, Turkish vilayet of Janina, to
day shelled a Mohammedan village. It
is believed that this act will lead Tur
key to declare war against Greece at
once.

GRANDMOTHERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.
It is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it. although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a "sage tea,” and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but they
are beginning to appreciate the wisdom
of our grandmothers in using “sage
tea” for their hair and are fast follow
ing suit.
The present generation has the ad
vantage of the past in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation called Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
As a scalp tonic and color restorer this
preparation Is vastly superior to the
ordinary “sage tea” made by our grand
mothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which iul> the hair of its life, color and
luster, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hail strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.

urging the establishment in Atlanta of
open air schools, there has been ap

urged forcefully.

at the earliest opportunity, and will make
the strongest possible represents ions re
garding the necessity for open air schools
In Atlanta It has already been shown
through a statement from Dr. Stephens,
medical examiner in the schools, that
there are more than 900 Atlanta school
children suffering from anemia and mal
nutrition who are in need of this sort of
treatment.
The committee expects at least to se
cure a sufficient appropriation to enable
the board of education to make a begin
ning in thfsiimportant work, feeling sat
isfied that If this is done its extension will
be assured, as has been the case in all
cities of the North and East where the
