Two qualities kept him the same unassuming

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
1ustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle OF the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

acres, valued at 5000 per acre. Pur-

All this talk about the exploitation
Of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost Of living, and
so forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility Of being
robbed Of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.

The following fable, which is prob
ably of Turkish origin, is not without
a touch of truth: AS a woman was
walking, man looked at and followed
her.
Why" said she, do you follow
me?"
Because" he said, CT have fallen in
love with you
why so? My sister, who is coming
after me, is much handsomer than
am. Go and make love to her"
The man turned back, and saw a
woman with an ugly face, and, being
greatly displeased, returned and said !:
Why should you tell me- 4 false
hood?"
The woman answered: Neither
did -ou tell me the truth; for, if you
were in love with me, why did you
look back for another woman ?"-
