Gribbel, at a dinner of St. Andrews

to the Scotch people.

During the sumner the English

that the Liverpool Athenaeum had

that weight and slowly and surely
they sank beneath it.
That was the period of the sabre

ne could subdue and a terror to the
numerous animals that inhabited the
valleys and plains of that region. The
BONES. wired together in the muse
um's present exhibit, show that a
fleeing ground sloth, which then
grew to the size of a grizzly bear,
ran into n of the tar pits and was
overtaken there by a tiger. Both
of them became tangled in the dust
covered surface, and while they were
struggling to pull themselves free a

SAGE AND tULPHER
DARKINS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and
Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by lack Of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which Is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
SO cent bottle Of "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy which dark
ems the hair so naturally, SO evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell 1t has
been applied. Besides, it takes Off
dandrufr, stops scalp itching and fall
| ing hair. You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
! fully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance of abundance.
