RESTORE: CRAY HAIR
To NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Danduff,
Falling Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-five, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with a Sage 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 a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable RENE
dies for dandrlff, 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
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this tc
your own satisfaction. All druggists
sell it, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

CHAIR NEEDED TO
EASE AGED MAN

Have you an old morris chair which
you would be willing to give away if
you knew that it would relieve an aged
and sick man from a constant torture?
Miss Margaret Giles, visiting nurse, is
hunting for such a chair and she GER
tainly has use for it, One Of her many
patients, resident Of the west end
Of the city whose years and possibly
days are numbered. is so afflicted that
he cannot lie down without undergo
ing the severest pains. He must sit
up night and day and even then he is
far from being comfortable. At pres
ent he is cramped up in rocking chair
which. while large and comfortable as
rocking chairs go, is still much too
small to spend day after day in and be
comfortable. Miss Giles would greatly
appreciate it if anyone having an old
morris chair would communicate with
her and permit her to use it in making
the declining days of her patient more
bearable.

Ry HORACE FLETCHER, A ", New
York. n. Y.
Doesn't everyone know how to eat?
No!
Why?
BecaUsei
In the first place, man was made to
fit certain sort of food. He was given
teeth and a digestive apparatus suit
able for turning certain foods into
muscle, bone, or heat, as these were
needed or used up. Under those pre-
adamite conditions there was no cook
ing. Fire even had not been discover
ed, except in the form of, and as the
result of, lightning. How to make fire,
at will, man did not know.
Before foods were cooked everybody
was compelled to chew his food, for it
was found in a liquid or nushy state;
and there was not much of IT.
In digging up human skeletons,
which must have lived ages and ages
ago, We find that men and women
lived to great age and often died with
full sets of teeth in their heads.
These teeth were well worn, but not
decayed, and this preservation Of the
teeth told a story of good health
which could not be told better by
words.
Thus we know that when there were
no liquid or mushy foods, and when
everybody was compelled to chew his
food well in order to get the good
/ there was in 1t, out of it, he was more
healthy, and lived longer and kept
his teeth better than he does now.
When did man forget how to eatf
When cooking was discovered and
pie-making, and soup, and spices were
invented. II then became easy to
swallow, or bolt" the food without
properly mixing 1t with saliva; which
Is the first great necessity of good d.
gestion-
That is how everybody forgot how
to eat right. Old folks were In a
hurry to get back to work. and little
folks were in hurry to get out to
play; and hence all of them got in
the habit of eating too fast. So fast,
that saliva had no chance to mix with
the food; and half of It was not di.
| gested at all
We know now that food which Is
not digested, and thus made into
I blood or heat is liable to rot in the
stomach, or, somewhere in the intes-
tines. When the food rots in the
body it poisons the body and that is
what makes q person sick or tired. No
well person should be tired in any
other way than being sleepy. Other
kinds of the tired feeling besides
! sleepiness means sickness.
Since We cannot always convenient.
IL eat nothing but raw food. and since
cooked food tastes so good 10 US, how
can We avoid eating in the wrong
way? That is the important cues,
ton.
will tell you.
Just treat the cooked foods The
soups, and mushes, and the like. Jus;
as our forefathers were compelled "a
treat their raw food; SO as not to be
sick or tired
Chew everything that is solid for ali
It is worth, and get all the taste Out
