To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair

1t is easier to preserve the color OF
the hair than to restore it, although il
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 u 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 it can get
n ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly SUI
perior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our .grandmothers.

backed up the Court street hill. Just
as the car was about to make the

made the vehicle. agreed to carry
seventeen men and pointed out two
tool chests on either side of the truck

pounds. he declared.
The explanation was accepted. and
Mr.. Weber and the other commits
sioners and Commissioner Lagay and
Chief Paul j. Moore took their places
aboard the truck. The rest of the
crowd was made up of onlookers who
