1t is easier to preserve the color OF

is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea," and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in using
sage tea for their hair and are fast
following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage Of the past in that 1t can get
a ready-to-use preparation called

rior to ethe ordinary sage tea made
by grandmothers.
