Klamath Falls, Ore.—A dog chased a cat; the cat climbed a pole, two horses were killed, a fire alarm start- ed and one man was made penniless. And all betause the dog saw the cat. Here's how it happened: ¢+ A prowling feline disturbéd the slumbers of Tige. He chased her up 8 telephone pole and, poising high on a crossarm, she switched her tail in an- ger. Her tail touched another wire. A circuit was thus completed between the two wires, burning them through and killing the cat.

You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with| it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By mourn the gray hair disappears; but what deiights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is- that, besides beautifully darken- ing the hair after a few applica- tions, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
