GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept Her Locks Dark, Thick
Glossy, With Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For SO cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears. and, at
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully darkened,
glossy and luxuriant. You will also
discover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
gears younger

Verona grange Of Bucksport celebrat.
ed it's 38th anniversary in q pleasing man.
ner Saturday evening, Jan. S1st., when,
in spite Of the storm, more than 20 MEM
bers held the first meeting in their new
hall. The hall is beautifully situated in
the central part of the village on the
southern side of Main street and is in a
building SO by 50 feet.
There are three floors and q basement.
On the first floor are two stores which
with the easements are already occupied
by the Bucksport Farmers Union. A
beautiful lodge room. % by SO feet, is
located on the southern half of tie second
floor. Adjoining are the kitchen. dining
room, ante-rooms, etc. On the third
floor is a room SO by so feet which the
members mean sometime to convert into
a dance hall, moving picture theatre or
devote to some other purpose which will
make it source of income.
Much credit is due Mrs. Grace Ripley,
who has worked faithfully for Verona
grange to have home. With the as
sistance of part of the members she has
succeeded in getting this building in
which the members feel they have quar-
tiers they may we'll be proud of.
