TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
II Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens so
Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray
sJreaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color. which is quite sen
sible, as We are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing at
home. All drug stores sell the ready
to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy for about
so cents a bottle. 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by NOR
ming the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair, after
few applications, it also produces
that soft lustre and appearance of
abundance, which is so attractive; be-
sides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair,

Garbage Problem Serious,

While food supplies are still plen,

the strike and stocked up their stores
literally, the accumulation of gar

No garbage has been collected in the

hand and asked what to do with it..
City Sanitation Officer Herman Nor

the possible outbreak of disease.
Fifty business men were sworn in

ed for the most part by General Can

In spite of General Aguilar's as
surances to Rear Admiral Fletcher,
that the oil properties would not be

that further sale of oil to the gov

ed as too great a manifestation Of
Friendship to the Constitutionalists

The company's acton in acceding
to what practically amounted to a de-
mand is considered not at all dis
pleasing to the Mexican Ry., which is
the property of a British corporation
as the cutting of the line from Tam
pico to San Luis PotCsi had diverted
nearly all shipments to Mexico City
over this line from Vera Cruz and
recently the management of the Mex
ican hallway was warned that ITS
line would be cut if it persisted in
moving oil.

If the Mexican railway also is bar
red from the use of oil and it is as
sumed that it will be, even ordinary
passenger traffic between the capital |
and the coast may become irregular.
