The president sent the following let

{ ct he rapid and unwarranted in.
crease in the prices of foodstuffs in
this country, upon the pretext of the
conditions existing in Europe, is so
serious and vital a matter that l take
the liberty of calling your attention
to it. s$5 y s....- l.........
= 'I feel that this is matter which
we cannot, pass by without trying to

difficulties ofliying."' 49,. S.4

AAQE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell
when you darken gray, faded hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and abundant with q
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with WON
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for 'FWyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to
use, for about 50 cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp
and falling hair. 1=|
A well known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur, because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another appli-
cation or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and album
