Clothes Advice From
AFTER ALL
a
Banke
A Governor of the Federal Re-
serve Bank recently said: "A
suit of clothes should do the
work of two suits now."
Which means that quality in
clothes is more important than
ever. And quality is the watch-
word here; always has been.
You'll find Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes at this store; they're
all-wool, skillfully tailored; 4 one
such suit will do the work of
two others," and you can't sur-
pass them for style.

They are just a little bit better and more de-

We want you to take a box of this unsur-

Great Singer Raise. Thous-
ands for Belgian Relief
Fund.
The beginning of the groat Euro
pean war found Madam Melba in
I Australia where In recent years she
hus spent much time with her fa-
ther Directly the war began the
great Australian singer threw herself
heart and soul Into the Red Cross
movement and in a year, from the
concerts which she organised and
in which she sang, she raised over
$ 100,000 for Rett Cross and oth-
er purposes. Her greatest success
came in Melbourne, when she gave
a concert on April 27th in aid of the
Belgian Relief Fund. The total re-
ceipts of this concert were $30,500
About two-thirds of this sum came
from the sale of seats and the re
uiainder from the sale of (lugs of the
Allies, which Mine Melba herself
auctioned off. According to the ac-
count of the concert contained In
the Melbourne Argus of April 28th,
Madam Melba received $125 for a
Russian Naval Ensign. The next
flag was that of Poland, and just
before selling it Mine. Melba read
a telegram which she had Just re-
ceived from Paderewski asking for
help for his country men. The flag
sold for $lt000. Two Australian
flags brought the comparatively
j small sums of $:!00 and $200. One
Union Jack brought $250 and an-
other $150.
"Then," according to the Argus,
"Madam Melba unfurled ami waved
a Belgian flag. 'This flag,' she said.
'I hold In deepest reverence. The
whole world knows from what it
saved us all. It is to be hung In
this town hall as a memento. On
ja tablet beside it will be written
| the names of those who bid 100
pounds. To each a replica will bo
given and I hope that Ills Majesty,
; the king of the Belgians, will sign
j It.' "
I
Madame Melba made the first bid
herself of 100 pounds. Her father.
David Mitchell, said It another hun-
dred pounds, and finally It sold for
the extraordinary sum of twenty-
one hundred pounds or $10,500.
Mddam Melba. who returns to
this country in October with the
Chicago Opera association, expects
to resume her work with the Red
Cross later.
She will appear in Houston In
"Faust" with the Chicago Opera
association which gives magnificent
performances of "Faust" and "Lucia
do Lammernioor" on October 26 and

Grandmother kept h<r hair beau-
tifully darkened, glossy and attrac-
tive with a brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect. .By
asking at any drug store for "Wy-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,"
you will get a largo bottle of this
old-time recipe, Improved by the ad-
dition of othtT Ingredients, all ready
to use for about 60 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended up-
on to restore natural color and
beauty to the balr.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell It has been ap-
plied—It's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw It through your hair, tak-
ing one strand at i time. By morn-
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two. It Is re-
stored to Its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beantful. This
preparation la s delightful toilet re-
quisite. It Is not Intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
dlaeaae.—A4r. It
