If HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to Dark
en- and Beautify Faded
Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wtspy and scraggly, just an APP
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances it's appearance a hundred
fold
Don't bother TO prepare the tonic:
you can get from any drug store 50
cent bottle of ..Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy ready to use.
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color, thick
ness and lustre OF your hair and re-
move dandruff, stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t
has been applied. You simply damp
en- sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and
after another application 1t becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,
lustrous and abundant.

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.

The quality of newspaper circula'
ton is always given serious consider
alton by advertisers, az. well as the
quantity. How was 1t obtained? was
it bought or earned? These are cues
tons that receive thought before
contract Is placed The Gate City
has the earned kind. The kind that
remains steadfast and once obtained
remains an asset to the advertiser. a
writer in recent issue of a maga-
zine comments on circulation as fol-
lows. under the caption: "Circula-
ton; Bought or Earned-Which?
Much of newspaper and magazine
circulation. says writer on circula-
ton problems, is bought, not earned;
bought with books and clocks and
prizes and sensationalized news. The
circulation which has the largest per
capital value is the circulation which
has been earned; the circulation
which comes voluntarily because OF
the institutional merit OF the publlca-
ton. No other circulation can claim
value on basis of quail
ity. Earned circulation doesn't multi
ply; It doesn't divide: it doesn't SUBJ
tract. Earned circulation adds: and
it adds continuously; adds as popuia-
ton increases; adds as intelligence
increases: adds as independent think
ing increases. Fake methods in manu-
facture and merchandising invariably
bring disaster to their authors. This
fact is borne out by the history OF
every industry and by an investiga-
ton Of the real causes OF commercial
failures.

KITTY GORDON IN Clever
PLAYLET At The ORPHEUM
With Aid Of Stage Press Agent She
Presents Pleasing Farce-Keane
and Window Are Team That
Stand Out Conspicuously in Bill

The vaudeville enthusiast is the
gamer when stars 90 in for the
"two'a-day." None other than Miss
Kitty Gordon in alma s Return,' is
the feature of remarkably good bill
at the Orpheum theatre this week
Miss Gordon s playlet savors a bit
of the fareical and is a choice bit of
entertainment. 1t features the work
of press agent.
Miss Gordon as "Mrs. Sutcliffe,p a
stage beauty returned and in society,
desires to go back to the stage, and
her press agent eapably manages that.
Her poor husband has himself arrest
ed with a Broadway chorus girl and of
course "Get There Dixon of the
=" Eagle" comes around to know when
she will sue for divorce.
1t is a clever plot and ''Get There
Dixon is a fairly good stage reporter,
although his part is overdrawn, like
that of every other stage reporter. The
big scene takes place in Mrs SUIT
cliffe's apartment. She dresses for the
stage-in the movies-and then does
speciality. She is capably supported
by Harrison Hunter.
There are two excellent ''man and
girl' teams on the bill. Robert En-
NETT Keane and Muriel Window, late
of the New York Winter Garden, could
carry off headline honors on most any
vaudeville bill. Chester Spencer and
Lola Williams in Putting 1t Over,'
have comedy skit way above the
average. Miss Marie Ehne, Juvenile,
billed as 'The Thanhauser Kid PLAYS
three parts in ''The Road to To-mor-
row." 1t is one of the most delightful
Juvenile acts being played to-day.
Nan Halperine, captivates her audi
ence with her clever rendition of new
songs. Her "Play My Wedding March
in Syncopating Rag" is the best nun
ber. Paul Gordon walks his way into
the audience favor on wire, and
Papifiax and Paulo tumble into good
bit of applause. They leave a pleasant
impression on the minds of the depart
ing crowd.
Altogether the bill is well batanc.
ed one and provides pleasant entertain
ment for an afternoon or evening.
