OLD-TIME REMEDY
DARKENs THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded
(and Gray Hair-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows the
value of such combination for keeping
the hair a good even color, for curing
dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair,
and for promoting the growth of the
hair. Years ago the only way to get
a Hair Tonic of this kind was to make
it in the home, which was troublesome
and not always satisfactory. Nova
days, almost any up-to-date druggist
can supply his patrons with ready-to-
use product, skillfully prepared in per-
fectly equipped laboratories.
An ideal preparation of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable RENE
dies for scalp troubles and thin, weak
hair that is losing its color or coming
out. After using this remedy for a
few days, you will notice the color
gradually coming back, your scalp will
feel better, the dandruff will soon be
gone, and in less than a months time
there will be a wonderful difference in
your hair.
Don't neglect your hair If it Is full
of dandruff, losing its color or com
ing out. Get a fifty cent bottle of
| Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, and see what few days
treatment will do for you. All drug
gists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

The first thing she saw, when look

She was very superstitious; and the

and returned with the assurance that

secretary urged her, in his chiefs

The first act passed without incl

number of young men from indulging
Unexpectedly in tobacco and intox-
icants, and many who are ambitious
for success, and who wish to enjoy
health and longevity, find total absti-
hence easier than temperate indu1-
gence. Advertising abstinence when
applying for positions should be more
general than it is. Any chauffeur who
is fairly capable and who is total
abstainer is much more trustworthy
than any chauffeur, however capable,
who drinks. And the rule has wider
application.
This certainly is good advice
and the Courier Journal is to be
commended for publishing it. But
why not go step farther and
prevent the manufacture and sale
of intoxicants? The Courier
Journal is right in preaching alb
stinence but wrong in its declara-
ton that legislation will not keep
those who wish to drink from
getting whisky.

This picture shows that where

more work to do, the real estate
business takes rise, coal dealers
are happy, the grocer sees an in

that is the true situation. Bene-
