SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about 80 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no n a possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does 1t
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a spong or soft brush with it and
draw tn, through your hair, taking
one small ltrand at q time; by morn
ing the ay hair disappears, and
after anot r application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

ALL LOOK FOR GRATITUDE
Nothing That Can Be Bestowed Is
Able to Take Its Place in the
Human Heart.

Gratitude given or received is n
of the best things in the world. We
need far more of it and far better quail
ity. Yet l have never read and salts
factory account of what it SO glorious
ly means. Its value begins just where
the value Of pay ends. Thanks are
personal, and attempt to fit an ade-
qRte response to the particular serv-
ice performed. Pay Is an impersonal
coin which has been handed out to
many before 1t reaches you, and will
go to many others when it leaves you.
1t is your right and you are not CRATE
full for it. But thanks are a free gift
and enrich the giver. There is no
nobler art than the art of expressing
ones gratitude In fresh, unhackneyed,
unexaggerated terms which answer
devotion with fresh devotion, fancy
with new fancy, charity with SINGER
ity. Artists who get their reward
only in money and in the stale plaud-
it's Of clapping hands are restless for
something more individual. They
want to be intimately understood and
beautifully answered. For such graft
tude they look to brother artists, to
the few who really understand. There
they find their best r%eward-but even
this leaves something wanting The

 T walk home, but it's lonesome walk and I'm afraid. There have been holdups in this part of town. So l choose MT. Blank to see me safe home" On the way home MT. Blank was considerably swelled up.

Tea From Coffee Leaves.

Tea, as everybody knows is made from leaves, while coffee is derived from berries or beans. Just here is where something has been overlooked, in the opinion of scientific investi- gator The leaves of the coffee plant are not only available for making q beverage, but they possess properties which make them more valuable than the coffee beans.
 In appearance and fragrance the dried coffee leaves very much resem- ble those of the tea plant. An infu- sion of them being made, just as ir the case of ordinary tea, an aromatic beverage is produced that is bitter to the taste, but not disagreeable so, and which contains almost as much theine as real tea, while there is much smaller proportion of tannin.
 It may yet be possible to grow tea and coffee on the same plant.

Something to Be Thankful For.

In her dressing room one evening Sarah Bernhardt summoned one of her attendants, and ordered her to bring some peaches from the nearest shop. Either the maid misunderstood the order or she thought, as the say ing goes, That any old fruit would do," for she came back a few minutes later with half a dozen plump, juicy pears in basket
 At the moment, Bernhardt was de- claiming to a friend about the dearth of good new plays, and anybody would have thought she was too ab- sorbed in her lamentations to notice the maids mistake. She took a pear from the basket slowly and, appar. ently, unconsciously, and the maid turned to leave the room.
 In an unlucky moment the girl paused at the door and looked round Then, with astonishing swiftness and accuracy of aim, Bernhardt raised her hand and the pear flew through space. smashing itself to juicy pulp on the girls face.
 Thank heaven!" was all she said thank heaven it wasn't an apple!"
