Jake DENNIS, 412 Kansas avenue, was almost instantly killed at 7 o'clock Wednesday night by an automobile driven by Frederick HOLDER, 3719 Washington Street, Kansas City, Mo.

The Topeka Daily State Journal Tuesday April 16, 1918 Ladies! Darken Your Gray Hair. Look Years Younger! Use Grandmother's Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulfur and Nobody Will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmothers' time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulfur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulfur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

Jim, would you order a few bottles of that for me, please?

The Topeka Daily State Journal Tuesday April 16, 1918 Women Everywhere Use Lemon Juice To Beautify Skin. The beauty lotion which is becoming so popular throughout the country is easily prepared by anyone and a whole quarter pint of it doesn't cose any more than a small jar of the common, ordinary cold cream. Add the juice of two lemons to three ounces of orchard white and shake well in a bottle. Strain the lemon juice two or three times through a fine cloth so no pulp gets into the lotion, then it will keep fresh for months. Regardless of what price you pay or how highly advertised, there is nothing else really more meritorious in beautifying, softening and clearing the skin. As a tan and blemish remover, also to remove oiliness and sallowness, lemon juice has no rival. Masage it into the face, neck, and arms once or twice each day, and just see if it doesn't bring out the roses and hidden beauty! Lemons have always been used to bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid, therefore should never be used except in this manner. If properly prepared, this sweetly fragrant lotion will speak for itself. Any drug store will supply the three ounces of orchard white as very little cost, and the grocer will supply the lemons.
