mellowest melodies on

and those other -high-brow

But, according to Joe

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
8age Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Almost everyone knows that
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound¬
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound.” old-time You will recipe get improved a large bot¬
tle of this by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even¬
ly. You dampen this a sponge through or soft brush
■with it and draw your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes and beautifully look dark, thick and
glossy you years younger.

DOCKET NOT OF
RECENT ORIGIN
(By Associated Press.)
i N' shville, Tenn., July 25—Whether
| the divorce'evil of modem times is
justified to be proven, but the
remains, according to legislative doc
uusenis. that the llare-up in the di
| von-; courts, did not originate in
| cent years.
A irclt of legislative records in
: (-■ te house produces the
; bus ’ divorce bill of 1822, in which
: flirty applications for
1 o.h maiital ties were sought of the
.'general assembly. That was
to. ii*;-t term of William Carroll as
j governor of Tennessee.
At that time James K. Pol):, presi¬
de’ of the United States, from 1845
- to i s it), was clerk of the senate and
i s-figi-ed the divorce bill, when ft pass
! ed m first reading on August 12,
j 1822. T bill entitled “A Bill Di
ie war to
I vr;v" the Persons Therein Named,”
i and passed the House oil first reading
j on August 7, 1S22, the records show.
| But the legislators evidently were
l not willing to lend approval to such
i an •xteiisive divorce procedure, fo.r
I the bill was marked, “Read Second
i Time and Rejected, House of Repre
j sentafives, August 12, 1822,” and
signed by T. J. Campbell, clerk.
- One of the most interesting fea¬
tures of the divorce bill was the fact
that Joseph MtMinn, governor of
• Tennessee for three terms, from 1815
i to 1821, just preceding the session at
which the bill was introduced, was
asking for a divorce from his wife,
Nancy McMinn.
The ex-governor’s name appears
about hal! way down the list of appli
cants. The only method of obtaining
I divorces in those days was by petition
to the general assembly, as the di
-. or. c machinery had not been vested
1 in the courts.

The change from the week
coln’s birthday, used-for the purpose
of the observance -until this year,, has
lien made jn ' response to the desire
of national and international Sunday
School organizations. The president’s
letter follows:
“My attention has been called ‘$o
the National Father and Son Move¬
ment, which is to be launched .•luring
National Father and Son Week, No¬
vember 11-18. It is a pleasure for
me to commend this movement, which
has as its object to draw together in
a more intimate way the fathers and
sons of America, and to 1 strengthen
and develop this relationship.
“The success of this, movement dur¬
ing the past years has won for it a
distinct place. Since the movement
has become world-wide in character,
it is most fitting that it center around
the .date of world-wide significance,
Armistice Day. Surely, the coming
generation will need to be constantly
reminded of their obligation to help
maintain the peace of the world, foi
which millions of fathers and sons
have died in.past y.Cars.
“It is hoped that'all individuals as
well as constructive agencies, mte'r
ested in the boy life of our nation.
will give this week due consideration

-fathers and sons in schools, churches
clubs and other places, and assisting

own inherent right of c.ompanionshiv

SULPHUR IS BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN
Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
says a noted skill specialist. Because
of its germ destroying properties, noth¬
ing has ever been found to take the

and irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur leaving heals eczema right

It seldom fails to relieve the torment
or Rowles disfigurement. A little jar of

their efforts to filter it from the system.
Flush the kidneys occasionally to re¬

sick headache, dizziness, the stomach

twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, the channels often get irri¬
tated, obliging one to get up two or
three times during the’’ night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body’s urinous
waste, begin drinking water. Also get
about four ounce- of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy, take a tabicspnonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may then

MARY PICKFORD THE
PROPHET OF GLADNESS
__
Do you think you have a lot to be
sail about ? Do you believe that Old
Man Gloom has chased joy out of
your life forever? Are you bowed
down under a heavy load of business
responsibilities that have a t^rlen.-v tenrlencv
to pessimize your good nature? Has
Misfortune tried to make a pal f
‘ lit' such ik the case, then don’t fail
to see Mary Pickford as “Pollyapna.
This is Miss Pickford’s first photo¬
play since she joined the “Big Four.”
It is being released by the United
Artists Corporation and will be shown
at the Bijou theater tomorrow.
There is no blitter tonic for those
who have been the victims of bad luck
and who' may as a result be down¬
hearted or even resentful, against
fate, than this remarkable play. It
carries the message of good cheer to
one and ail, pointing out that no pre¬
dicament is so bad but that it might
be worse.
“Play the glad game all through
life”—that is the theine.of the story.
This philosophy began with the ar
rival at Pollyanna’s humble home of
a Christmas barrel which did not
tain a single useful article.. Polly
anna’s father taught the little girl to
apply the “Glad” philosophy to every
circumstance that arose.
As time went on she became the
Prophet of Gladness, and with ail the
sincerity of childhood, proselyted
along the pathway of Life, winning
many converts to this new religion.
