A Simple Remedy Beauties the
Hair, Cures Dandruff, Stops
Falling Hair.

people with thin, wispy hair, faded
or streaked with gray, and realize
that most of these people might have
soft, glossy, abundant hair Of beau
.tiful color and lustre If they would

is no necessity for gray hair under

no excuse for anyone, young Or old,
having thin, struggling hair, either
full of dandruff or heavy and rank
smelling with excessive oil.
You can bring back the natural
color Of your hair in a few days and
forever rid yourself of any dandruh
and loose hairs, and make your hair
grow strong and beautiful by using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy. For generations common gar
den Sage has been used for restoring
and preserving the color of the hair,

notice the improvement In the ap-
pearance Of your hair after a few

WATER FRONT
PRICE JUMPS:
Values Increase With Sale
of Grsacsn Property.

With the announcement that G.. c.
Baldwin, president Of the new ferry
company, has purchased the Greacen
and Westergaard properties, for a sum
about $4,000, interest in the available
real estate along the water front jump
ed at an alarming rate, which was pleas
ing to the holders of water front prop
critics and dealers in same. The Wes-
tergaard and Greacen properties are ad-
joining, and the sale reported yesterday
will greatly enhance the value of the
Hall dock property, located on the
north of the Greacen machine works. 1t
is understood that overtures have been
made by well known capitalists to the
present holder Of this tract.
Excepting this big sale, the realty
market during the past week was de-
cidedly dull. The number of sales re-
ported was unusually small, although
a number Of transfers Of suburban
properties were registered with City
Collector Richard F. White. It can be
said that the slow week is due to the
holiday effects, as the home seekers are
back from vacations and no doubt, are
preparing bank rolls with which to in
vest in profitable sites before the win
