National politics, both Democratic

comes more intense, The Arkansas

particularly fortunate in being able

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR

Easy Way to Preserve Ma

A harmless remedy, made from
common garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent 1t from losing
its color and lustre, is just as I'M

them from ~discoloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve the complexion, and yct neg

even more conspicuous n sugges-
tive Of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? OF the two. 1t Is easier
to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than 1t Is to have
a good complexion.
All that Is necessary is the occa-
sional use OF Wyeth's Sage and Sui

common garden Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable remed-
les for dry, harsh, faded hair. dand-
ruff, itching scalp and falling hair.
After a few applications of this
simple, harmless remedy. your hair
will gradually be restored to its nat

ruff will be removed, and your hair

1t is probably something more thai
a coincidence thai the movement is
launched Immediately following the
making of the report of the Stanley in

presidential campaign and the fact
that there is a great scarcity OF labor

regarded as additional favorable cir
