ORIGIN OF OUR CALENDAR

sequence OF this. the equinox In q
course Of few centuries fell back con
siderably. In the time Of Julius Gao
Sar, 1t corrssponded to March IS.
and by the sixteenth century 1t had
refrigerated to March II. It was at
this time that q physician Of Verona
named Ghiraldi proposed plan for
amending the calendar. He died DO
fore he had opportunity to carry 1t
forward. but his brother presented 1t
70 Pope Gregory XIII, who assembled
. number Of learned men to discuss it
1t was passed upon favorably and
adopted, and thus was given to the
world what has since been known as
the Gregorian calendar. In 1852 Greg

GRANDMOTHER
USED sage TEA

1t is easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore it, although il
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea," and their dark
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in using
sage tea" for their hair and are fast
following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of he past in that it can get
ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly supe-
rior to the ordinary "sage tea" made
by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
if it fails to do exactly as represented.
If your hair is losing color or COM
ing out, start using Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur today, and see what change
it will make in a few days'N time.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. CoWan's drug store.
