Sage Tea Will
Darker the Hair

There Is nothing new about the idea
OF using Sage for restoring the cclor
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 DUH 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-time tiresome method Of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than We could do it ourselves; and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready made product Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy containing
Sage in the proper strength with the
addition of Sulphur. 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, feverisn, itching scalp,
and falling hair. Get fifty cent bot
lie from your druggist today. and you
VII be surprised al the quick results.
All druggists sell it, under guarantee

MADISON.

Madison citizens We're awakened, at
Ais A. NJ, Monday, by an alarm of
fire from Box IS, the blaze being in
the grocery store eff Alfred Roberts on
Old Point avenue. The fire was dis
covered by Webster Keyes. who lives
on Main street, but the back of whose
home is close to the store. When dis
covered the rear end of the store was
ablaze and by the time the fire de-
partment arrived the whole building
was Quilted, and the flames spread
with such rapidity that the family of
Thomas, who lived in the adjoining
house, were obliged TO flee in their
night clothes. The house occupied by
Albert Wixon, just-south of the store
was also badly Quilted. One of the
heaviest losers was Mr.. Robert, who
had q stock valued at $1,000, with an
insurance of about $500. Mr.. Wixons
loss on his furniture is estimated at
$500, insurance. $500. A greater part of
Mr.. Clarkins furniture was saved.
but his loss is estimated at $500; no
insurance Both buildings We're owned
by Charles Clark and che damage is
estimated at $4,000; no insurance.
There is no clue as to the origin of
the fire The Roberts store is located
in close proximity to a number of
wooden buildings and had there been
a breath OF wind nothing could have
prevented a disastrous fire. ~ ia -
