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 so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be.
cause 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 morn.
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

HIGHEST POINT IN OHIO.

That exploration and discovery IN

not confined to the unChartored wilds

a new record altitude has been de
tormiuod for Ohio. Until recently the
highest point in Ohio. according to the
United states geological survey. was
near Mansfield. in RIChland county,
the elevation of which is Lac feet
above sea Lowell. but in the course of
topographic surveying last summer by
the survey a point was found whose
elevation is $50 feet above sea level
or nearly 1000 feet higher than the
surface Of Lake Erie This place is
about two and one half miles east OF
the city of Hollnfontainc, in Logan
county. and is locally known as Camp
bells Hin II Is stated to be unlikely
that there is any higher point in Ohio.
az nearly the whole state has now
been geographically surveyed The
lowest point in the state is on the
Ohio river and has an elevation of
425 feet. the average elevation for
the whole state is not far from $50
feet.

the age of eighty-three.

Queen street. Edinburgh. on the
eventful night. November 4, 1S47
when the great discovery was made
of the use of chlorofOrm by Sir James
(then Professor) Simpson.
On that occasion. after Sir James
and his assistants had recovered from
the effects of the experimental doses
upon themselves, Miss Petrie came
forward to be experimental upon, and
proved a most happy subject under
the influence of the drug, as when fall
