It The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked "and faded hair is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again using :t to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home, a All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular be cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a .soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur ' Com pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few-applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abund ance which is so attractive. Nebraska Entitled to Two Appointments to West Point Academy Lincoln, Oct R (Special.) Ad jutant General Paul has received notice from Gen. P. C Harris of the adjutant general's department at Washington that Nebraska will be entitled to two appointments to West Point, examinations to be held the first two weeks in December. The appointees must have had at least one, year service in the na tional guard, or have been members of the guard when they enlisted for services overseas.

Penalize Profiteers. j "There has teen some agitation and a erood deal of complaint in re gard to excess rental charges for city property, and if the rental charge is made a basis of fixing the valuation next year for the next four years, it will penalize the persons or firms who are now charging exces sive rental, and undoubtedly will have the effect of lessening the ten dency for increased rental charges, which is so general at this time. Rent profiteers will probably not be so numerous as soon as they realize that their rental income is to be made the basis of the assessed valu ation of their property for the next four years."

Tea, fibiloh and other worthy remedies, San Francisco, Oct. 14 Belgian royalty entered San Francisco Tues day and the city took them to its heart with true western hospitality. They were greeted with the cere mony due reigning monarchs, but beneath the fprmalities they must have felt the ungrudging admiration bestowed upon a heroic eoldier and his devoted queen. The guns of the. New Mexico, flagship of the Pacific fleet, boomed a decp-throated salute as they crossed the bay from Oakland and King Albert dined tonight upon the super-dreadnaught which flies Ad miral Hugh Rodman's four-starred pennant. The king entered here upon the second phase of his tour of the United States. He made the most earnest plea he has voiced thui far for his stricken country. "Its determination to live causes it to strain every effort," he said. "It asks the sympathy and the help of those powerful friends who al teady have aided in its misfortunes." Simple, Dignified Response. With simple dignity his majesty responded to the welcome given him by Governor Stephens, Mayor Rolph and Herbert Hoover, de voted friend of the hosts of hungry refugees whose grat;tude sounds for him a daily benediction. Cheered, it seemed, by half the city s population, Albert, Elizabeth and the Duke of Brabant rode through two and a half miles of ! Market street from the ferry to the ' city hall through a lane of men and women. In the splendid rotunda ot the municipal building they were made honorary citizens of San Francisco. His majesty expressed his appreciation and his sweet-faced consort was showered with flowers grown under the far western sun. Her triumph was no less than that of her husband. It was at a luncheon in honor of the king and his aides at the Pal ace hotel that his majesty made his most important speech of the day. Cheered Frantically. More than 1,000 men and women stood and cheered him frantically as he rose to respond to the ad dresses of welcome, tn the uniform of a lieutenant general, his breast bare of decorations, his face was grave as he looked out over the faces before him and paid heartfelt tribute to the Californians who had j done so much to aid his people. But first of all in bis simple tnglish, he voiced his thanks to Hoover, only to be halted by applause. - "I come from my country that has been sorely tried by the war," said the king, "a country where they feel already the approach- of winter. Here I find this magnifi cent city, bathed by a radiant sun and .the distinguished gentlemen who receive me are the faithful friends of Belgium. "How shall I express the emo tions that I feel in finding myself here with such a warm welcome? From the bottom of my heart I thank the city of San Francisco and all California for their inexhaustible generosity toward the Belgians; Salutes Hoover's Name. "I salute with profound gratitude the name of Mr. Herbert Hoover. "In her history San Francisco has a page from which Belgium may learn a great lesson. After the frightful fire of 1906 the city so deeply smitten did not lose courage and in a few years it raised itself from its ruins richer and more beau tiful than ever. "Belgium also reconstructs little, by little its factories that were de stroyed by the enemy. But the work of its economic reconstruction will be long and arduous. Its deter mination to live causes it to strain every effort. "It asks the sympathy . and the help ot those powerful friends who have tlready aided it in its misfor tune." Honorary Membership. When he had finished he was pre sented, in behalf of five commercial organizations, with a silver fruit and flower dish, together with honorary membership in each of the organiza tions. The queen was absent from the luncheon, attending one given in her honor at the St. Francis by the women of San Francisco, but Prince Leopold sat near his father and blushed with a boy's embarrassment when he rose to acknowledge an in troduction by Mayor Rolph. The queen, gowned in white, with a long loose coat of brown velvet with furs and hat to match, capti vated the women who lunched with her. ' Many pairs of white gloves were rent by hand clapping when her majesty was presented by Brand Whitlock, United States ambassador' to Belgium, who shares with Hoover the gratitude of the nation. Her majesty was attended by her lady-in-waiting, Countess Dc Caraman Chimay and Mrs. Whitlock. Later she received the Belgian relief work ers of the city at the Palace. Go for Long Motor Ride. After the luncheon the queen re joined her husband and the whole Belgian party went for a long motor ride about the city. Mr. Hoover rode with his majesty and as thev climbed into their car Albert ac cepted a cigar which he smoked with evident enjoyment. Before the dinner on the New Mexico, Albert inspected the great ship with interest and showed his familiarity with all kinds of ma chinery. In response to the wel come of Admiral Rodman at the dinner, he paid a warm tribute to the services of the American navy. He id: i "I am happy to find myself on board the tlagsjiip ot this brilliant Pacific fleet and to be able to sa lute in it the magnificent navy of the United States," said -King Al bert. "It is impossible to exaggerate the services that your fleet rendered, not only to the armies, but to the civil population in keeping open the paths of the sea. "Without it, the soldiers would not have had munitions, the women and children would have cone- with- KING AND QUEEN OF BELGIANS NOT TO RETURN HERE Royal Parly Decides Not to Pay Omaha Day'i Visit.

Kearney, Neb., Oct. 14. (Special Telegram.) Parts of the body of a man, burned to a crisp and beyond any possibility of identification, were found under the wreckage resulting from a rear-end collision which oc curred just west of Optic siding, seven miles west of Kearney, this morning. Passenger tram No. 4, east bound, which leaves here at 2:38 a. m., plowed through the three rear cars of extra freight No. 303, just as the freight was pulling on to the siding. As the engine cut them, the three freight cars, which were loaded with fruit, caught fire and were complete ly destroyed. The one victim of the accident was riding in the caboose of the freight train, and was un doubtedly killed at the instant when the engine was turning on its side. The engineer and fireman, who had remained on duty until they brought the train to a standstill, jumped clear and were uninjured, except for minor scratches and bruises. Had the engineer not instantly applied air brakes when he saw the danger, the results would have been much more disasterous. No. 4 was running behind time through a fog, so dense that semaphores and or dinary danger signals could not be seen from any great distance. Traffic was completely tied up un til noon today, while the debris was being cleared from the tracks. It was not until the charred body was found, that it was known anyone had been killed in the accident. The train crew remembered that a Union Pacific employe, traveling on a gov ernment pass, boarded the train just west of Kearney. They could not remember his name nor the division out of which he worked. A bunch of keys found among the wreckage may establish his identity. Going to Germany. Wasnington, Oct. 14.

Many in their effort to look youthful resort to the "beauty doctor." Their mistake is that they visit the wrong department in the drug store. Beauty depends upon health.
