on the scale which is printed on the

Setting the compass at this distance
for Il radius. with the dot Of your town
or city as a center, draw circle. Then
you will have the limits Of the fifty
mile zone in which YOU live. BY do
ing the same on the limits of the other
zones You will have complete zone

YOU wish to address n parcel is very
closely located 10 one side of the other

SAGE TEA WILL
 DARktN THE HAIR Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Natural Color Dandruff Quickly
 Removed

There is nothing new about the idea of using Sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of simple Sage Tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear ance. they made a brew of Sage leaves. and applied it to their hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
 Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-dme tiresome method of gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skilled chem ists better than we could do it our selves; and all we have 10 do is to call for the ready-made product, Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. containing Sage in the proper strength. with the addition of Sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
 This preparation gives youthful col or and beauty to the hair, and is one of the best remedies you can use for dandruff, dry, feyer;sh. itching scalp, and falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle from your druggist to- day, and you will be surprised at the quick results. All druggists sell 1t, under guarantee that the money will be refunded if the remedy is not eX- acty as represented.-Adv 93.
