GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Says
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.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy. Adv

SHOULDN'T TAKE HIM LONG

him inside the cabin and he went

plain his absence.

II woman's beauty depended upon

deeper than that. 1t lies In health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action Of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
