YOUR CRAY 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 hairs which
unfortunately ars looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome II 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 ht' givesNone courage to un-
dertake and accomplish things. So why
suffer the handicap Of looking old on
account Of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in a few days time?
Most people know that common, gar
den sage acts as q color. restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used a Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft, and luxurlant. In
Wyeth.s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy we have an ideal preparation of
Sage, combined with Sulphur and other
valuable remedies for dandrufI, itching
scalp. and thin. weak hair that Is split
at the ends or constantly coming out.
A few applications of this valuable rem
edy win bring back the color, and In a
short time It viii remove every trace Of
dandruf and greatly improve the
growth and appearance Of the hair.
Get q nfty cent bottle from your
druggist to-day, and notice the difference
in your hair after a few days treat
ment. All druggists sell It. under guar
antee that the money win be refunded

sight to Guide Him in the
Search for His Prey.

Spooring, properly speaking means
following footprints; but the term
commonly implies much more than
that, and signifies holding the trail by
means Of; the many marks AN animal
leaves behind on its path.
ut is essentially tracking by sight
when the quarry itself is hidden from
view; and it is this use of the eyes
alone :inathe pursuit of invisible game
that distinguishes man, the hunter,
from other animals.
There Is no reason to think that any
animal, other than man, employs eye.
sight to any material extent for this
purpose. Conspicuous tricks, it is
true, may catch the eye OF the stoat
or wolf questing for prey, and draw
attention to the fact that possible
victim has passed by.
But it is hardly to be believed that
either of these animals, high though in
certain particulars his intelligence be,
has a knowledge of the shape and
structure Of the feet such as is neccs-
sary for telling the nature of the spe'
cies that has left the spoor aud OF the
direction it has taken.
These essentials are learnt by the
sense Of smell. Smell will tell the
stoat if the tracks are those OF hare
it would be profitable to pursue or or
a fox it would be unwise to follow;
and the gradual waxing or waning Of
the scent in this or that direction VIII
indicate the course that has to be
chosen If the quest is to be crowned
with success.
TO man alone. then. is confined the
power of knowing these things by eye.
Not that the knowledge is instructive.
1t has to be acquired by strenuous ap-
plication and long practice; and only
the individual with keen ViSua''ZihS
power and sound judgment can hope
to make a successful tracker and at
tain proficiency in the science.
