The Indians have a call or tole for

a fox right up to within 20 yards by
making a sibilant noise produced by
sucking the back of the hand. Rey-
nard takes it to be the cry of mouse

Stag caribou are toled by grunting

Wild geese can be called when they

The old ilea Of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-fve, VILE our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with q "SaCe Tea, which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market
superior preparation Of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable reme-
dies for dandruff, itching scalp, and
thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when a simple, harmless remedy will
bring back the color in few days; and
don't be tormented with dandruff, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy

give color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
