to adjourn. Mr.. Lyon declared this

 ing Hair.

What a pity, it is to see so many people with thin, wispy hair, faded or streaked with gray, and realize that most of these people might have soft, glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color and lustre if they would but use the proper treatment. There is no necessity for gray hair under sixty-five years of age, and there is 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 dandruff and loose hairs, and make your hair grow strong and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For generations common garden Sage has been used for res- toring and preserving the color of the hair; and Sulphur Is recognized by Scalp Specialists as, being excel- lent for treatment of hair and scalp troubles.
 If you are troubled with dandruff or itching scalp, or if your hair is losing it's color or coming out, get a fifty cent bottle If Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your druggisf, and notice the improvement in the appearance of your hair after few days reatment.-Special Agents Mann-Tankersley Drug Go.
