SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Resore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color; Dan
druff Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the use of a simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on a dull, faded or
|streaked appearance, they made a
brew of Sage leaves, and applied it
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do it ourselves;
and all we have to do is to call for
| the ready-made product, Wyeth' S
Usage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. con-
| tanning Sage in the proper strength,
with the addition of Sulphur, anoth-
er old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful
color and beauty to the hair, and is
one of the best remedies you can use
for dandruff. dry, feyerish, itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get fifty
cent bottle from your druggist today,
and you will be surprised at the
quick results. All druggists sell it,
under guarantee that the money will
be refunded If the remedy is not
exactly as represented. Agent l..

fCOnt1nueQ from rage Onel
and delegates good time and that

The reason for the Tom Knots
chloroform special is understood here
to be that Governor Marshall has tried
on numerous occasions to bring about
a semblance of decency in municipal
government at Gary and one or two
other places where the Knots crowd
is in control. The city OF Gary has
been a nightmare to Governor Mar
shall ever since he has been in the
executive chair. 1t has caused him no
end of worry and trouble. Appeal
after appeal has been made to Cover
nor Marshall for him to do something
to put end to the awful municipal
conditions that have existed at Gary,
and the Governor has hunted for ways
to do this. Things got SO bad at one
time that the Governor made the re-
mark that he thought 1t would be a
mighty good thing for the state of In
diana If Gary would slip off into Lake
Michigan.
Tom Knots. Neither was he we'll
pleased when the Governor took an in
terest in the bribery cases at Gary
some months ago. The Governor was
in real earnest in those cases, and he
went SO far as to provide for special
prosecutors to assist in prosecuting
/ the cases. Mayor Knots was mixed
up in those cases and of course the
activity of the Governor did not please
him in the least. So 1t Is not strange
that Knots has arranged to run a
"chloroform special" o Baltimore and
to take with him a party of chloroform
experts who will work on the Marshall
boom.
