Not. 10. British troops In their attack on the Passchendaele region, on the Flanders front, today, reached an extreme depth of 800 yards on a 2500-yard front. They not only attained their objectives, but some of their troops have even gone be yond them to the north along Passchen daele ridge. The British passed many strongly fortified farms north and northwest of Uoeberg. At this point they were fight lng nearly half a mile from their jumpint-oit place. The line was pushed northward along the Passchendaele ridge almost to the point at which the highest crest starts eloping downward. Today's operations were carried ou. on a 2500-yard front for limited objectives, which had been virtually all gained by 10 o'clock. The attack was begun at 6:05 and in the rain which had been falling nearlv all night. The ground along the crest ol the ridge was in comparatively good condition for the advance, but to the westward, in the valley of Paddebeek, It was exceedingly marshy. Despite the vile going on the lower ground, the troops here appear to have kept up with the progress of the more fortunate men on the higher ground. as early as 7:30 o'clock thev were bat tling at a fortified farm 600 yards be yond their starting point, and shortly afterward were reported some distance oeyona this place. The German artillery put down a neavy oarrage all along the front In volved as the attack was begun. The .eritisn also encountered a heavv ma chine-gun fire from numerous strong points. If the British remain In the positions they reached this morning it will mean that the salient about Passchendaele and Goeberg has been greatly widened tnereiore, made more satisfactory.

GRiDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HA Common garden sage brewed Into a heavy tea with sulphur added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a reve lation if your hair is fading, streaked ar gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other Ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not sinful, - we aU desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw, this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended lor the cure, mitigation or prevention of, disease. Adv. .
