IS WORTH CULTIVATION
Quality Of BsIns Agreeable Carries
: 4 Man Far on His Troubtous
Journey Through Lie.

The true art Of being agreeable ii
to appear we'll pleased with all the
company and rather to seem we'll en-.
.~tertained with them than to give en-
tertafnment to them. A man thus
disposed perhaps may not have much
learning. nor any wilt, but II he have
common sense and something friendly
in his behavior 1t conciliates mems
minds moro than tho brightest talents
without this disposition. and when q
man Of such q turn comes to old age,
he is almost sure to be treated with
respect.
1t is true. indeed, that We should not
dissemble or fattsr In company, but
a man may be very agreeable, strictly
consistent with truth and sincerity, by
a prudent silence where he cannot
concur and a pleasant assent when he
can. Now and then you meet with a
person so exactly. formed to please
that he will gain upon everyone that
hears or beholds him; this disposition
is not merely the gift Of nature, but
frequently the effect of much knowl.
edge Of the world and a command
over passions.

HAIR
AT SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties the
Hair, Cures Dandrnf, Stops
Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see SO many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded
or streaked with gray, and realize
that most of these people might have
soft, glossy, abundant hair of beau
tiful color and lustre II they would
but use the proper treatment. There
Is no necessity for gray hair under
siXty-five years of age, and there Is
no excuse for anyone, young or old,
having thin, struggling hair, either
full of dandruff or heavy and rank
smelling with excessive oil.
You can bring back the natural
color of your hair in a few days and
forever rid yourself of any dandruff
and loose hairs, and make your hair
grow strong and beautiful by using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. For generations m gar
den Sage has been used for restoring
and preserving the color of the hair,
and Sulphur Is recognized by Scalp
Specialists as being excellent for
treatment Of hair and scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruh
or itching scalp, or If your hair is
losing It's color or coming out, get
a nifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur from your druggist. and
notice tho improvement In the ap-
pearance of your hair after q few
days treatment.
