SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
DON'T STAY GRAY! HERE'S AN
OLD-TIME RECIPE THAT
ANYBODY CAN APPLY.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used 1t to keep her
hair beautifully dark. glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful ef-
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for SO cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff
dry. feverish. itchy scalp and falling
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two. it be.
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and abundant.

Train to Fly Like Airship.

LONDON. England. June 16.--
While experts continue to discuss the
practicability of H. Bachelet's sus-
pended railway. Esson, a Birming-
ham manufacturer, announces that he
has invented a train which will travel
500 miles an hour, 200 miles an hour
faster than the Bachleet train.
The latest invention is of the mono
rail type, but has one of the Bache-
let features. as it will fly after at
tanning certain speed. 1t does not
rely for levitation on magnetic repul-
sion, but on the principles of aviation.
1t will be a hybrid of street car and
an .aeroplane with an overhead trolley
and propellers. The model Is driven
by electricity. The inventor asserts
that it can attain speed of 500 miles
an hour with ease and safety. He
expects to give a demonstration soon
with a working model.
The train is connected with the ca
BILE at either extremity by rods termi-
mating in flanged wheels. These rods
serve to convey current to motors fore
and aft.
