walls, with precision and a thoroughly
artistic sense of the quality of the
work. The solos by Mrs. II. M. Dod-
son, Frank II Mason and Harry Rich
ard Cox were all pleasing. The audi
ence probably did not realize the tre-
nendous amount OF sacrifice that was

prano parts and not disappoint them.
Coming from her bed TO sing and after
a day OF torture as a result OF pto-
maine poisoning, her voice was mar
velously good and shows marked evi-
dence of true artistic quality and tech
mic. Mrs. Dodsons friends will be glad
TO know that she is improving today

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made From
Garden Sage, Restores Color to
Gray Hair.

A feeling Of sadness accompanies
the discovery OF the -first gray .hairss
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds Of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome il may be.
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages Of being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others.
simply knowing that you are looking
ft' gives one courage to undertake
and accomplish things. SO why suf-
fer the handicap OF looking old on ac-
count Of gray hairs. when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty I'm few days time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used a Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark. soft and luxur-
liant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
hair tonic, we have an ideal prepa-
ration of sage combined with sulphur
and other valuable remedies for dan
duff, ri'ching scalp and thin, weak
hair that is split at the ends or con-
stantly coming out. A few applica-
tions of this valuable remedy will
remove every trace Of dandruff and
bring back the color and IN short
time II will remove every trace OF
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today. and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if she remedy Is not exactly as
represented.
