A class of thirty six persons We're
confirmed by Rt. Rev. w. W. Webb at

The church was crowded, many being
unable to obtain seats. The Bishop
preached, taking his text from Acts VIII
Il, emphasizing the history and the
necessity of confirmation. He dwelt
upon the need of religious education
for children, and of greater missionary
work. He said that this is spiritual
age and that there had been great re-
action from the matelialism of the past.
Il do" is the answer of the candidate
for confirmation to the question pro-
pounded to him by the Bishop, and to
do work for Christ and His Church
should be the purpose of every Chris
tian, instead of finding fault with what
other Christians are doing.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG.
Don't Stay Grayl Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea and sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Hair hemedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so 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.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth IS Sage and
sulphur, because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.
