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

That beautiful. even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of sage Tea. and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm 1t
m axes or mars the face. When it
fades trlrlls gray. streaked and looks
cry, fRispy 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 a 90
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur because it darkens so naturally
ana evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply -dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it aud draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after an
other application sit becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy, lus-
