An OLD RECIPE
To DARkEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost every one knows that Sage Tea
and sulphur, properly compounds
brings back the natural color and luster
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scsln
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was 10
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and SULPHUR
Hair Remedy" You will get a large
bottle for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy and you look
years younger.-Advt.

results. as there has been plenty Of
time since the probe opened for the
camps to be cleaned up and other
preparations made for the coming Of

Convicts who were questioned re-
gardlng present and past conditions in
