BEAUTIFUL HAIR
1T SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair. Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What 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 beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruf and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance of
your hair after few days treatment.

The air is ful of their strange. high.
plaintive, haunting cries.
Every house has its own familiar
seagulls and every street its own band
of them. But they never mix. The
children in each house have a pes
name for their own particular sea-
gulls. and having called them by those
names, they feed them every day.
Each seagull knows what is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks to eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do so. So all day long

roofs of Lerwick.

The unrest which exists among the
