RESTORE CRAY HAIR
To NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff.
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair,

The old idea Of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-fve, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with Sage Tea" which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable RENE
dies for dandruff, itching scalp, and
thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty Of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when simple, harmless remedy will
bring back the color in few days; and
don't be tormented with dandruff, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this to
your own satisfaction. All druggists
sell it, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded If the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

THE DOCTOR HABIT.
And How She Overcame 1t.

When well selected food has help
ed the honest physician place his pa
tient in sturdy health and free from
the doctor habit" it is a source of
satisfaction TO all parties. Chi
cago woman says:
I'VE have not had a doctor in the
house during all the five years that
we have been using Grape-Nuts food.
Before we began, however, we had
'the doctor habit" and scarcely a
week went by without call on our
physician.
When our youngest boy arrived
five years ago, l was very much run
down and nervous, suffering from
indigestion and almost continuous
headaches. l was not able to attend
to my ordinary domestic duties and
vas so nervous that l could scarcely
control myself. Under advice / took
to Grape-Nuts.
Il am now and have been ever
since We began to use Grape-Nuts
food, able to do all my own work.
The dyspepsia, headaches, nervous
ness and rheumatism which used 10
drive me fairly wild, have entirely
disappeared.
My husband finds that in the
night work in which he is engaged

most wholesome, strengthening and
satisfying lunch he ever took with
him." Name given by Postum CON-
