USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural Color.

II is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore II, although II
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made sage tea and their dark
glossy hair long after middle life was
due 10 this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning 20 appreciate the
wisdom Of our grandmothers in using
Sage tea" for their hair and are fast
following suit.
The present generation has the adj
vantage of the past in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly sup
erior to .he ordinary sage tea" made
by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the bair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dan
druff germs which rob the hair Of its
life, color and lustre, makes the scalp
clean and healthy. gives the hair
strength color and beauty. and
makes it grow.

WEST END FOLK
ABANDON THE
CARNIVAL PLAN

The plans of the West End Reading
Room for Old Home Week have had
TO be revised, because City Council
has not complied with the conditions
asked for by the Reading Room. The
West End Reading Room offered TO
conduct Carnival of amusements on
hts grounds at Delaware Avenue and
Union street on the condition that the
parades should pass that spot. CITY
Council has found it not possible TO
do this, and the West End Is therefore
Obliged to modify It's plans consider
ably to include local attractions on
the grounds during that week II is
probable that there will be minstrel
show for three evenings, besides
special drills and sports.
The West End Reading Room will
present the Old Time Concert at the
New Century Club on Tuesday even
ing next.
II is understood that there IS no
friction whatever between the West
End Reading Room and the Council
as to the psrades. There was simply
condition arranged. to- be carried
out if possible. AS IL was not pos
1sble 10 carry out this condition, the
West End has had to curtail its
plans, but there is no change In the
hearty cooperation of the Reading
Room with the city authorities, nor
I'm its desire to make its grounds as
useful to the Seventh Ward as pos
sible during Old Home Week.
