RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage, a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair,

The old idea Of using sage for darkon-
ing the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers used to have dark.
glossy hair at the age of scventyfive.
while our mothers have white hair before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers used
to make a sage tea" and apply it to
their hair The tea made their hair soft
and glossy, and gradually restored the
natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble Of making it,,
especially as it had to be made every two
or three days, on account of souring
quickly. This objection has been over
come, and by asking almost any first
class druggist for Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy the public can get a
superior preparation of sage, with the
admixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color Of the hair,
but will also stop the hair from falling
out and make it grow.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

directors of the Colorado Springs
Chamber of Commerce at luncheon
held at the Acadia hotel recently in
his honor. Mr. Boldt not only
told of plans which his organiza-
ton is carrying out, but gave a gem
eral survey of up-to-date methods
being employed by the leading or
CARNATIONS of the country. "Prac-
tically all the cities have eliminated
the bonus plan for the encourage
ment of new industries" he said,
and are coming to rely more upon
their natural advantages as an in
