FIRST Car TO
Enter Yellowstone

THE years Of agitation to ad-
init motor cars to Yellow
stone National Park eliminated
in success on the evening of July
81 when Government and park
officials in = White touring car
rode through the park entrance
at Gardiner, Mon, officially sig
nifying that the great American
playground was open to motorists
for the first time.
Originally it was planned to
open the park after midnight of
July 81, but this was changed to
permit entry early in the evening,
SO that tourists could make the
six mile trip from Gardiner to
Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in
daylight and be ready to start
through the park from the hotel
on Sunday morning, August 1.
Many who last year made a pill
grimage to the park entrance
with car bearing the slogan
"Let Us In" were there to see
the results that they had helped
to gain and enthusiastic to be
among the first to cross the here
tofore forbidden line.

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. It
makes or mars the face. When it

dry, WHISKY and scraggy, just an ap-
plication or two Of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a
50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" ready to use.
This can always be depended upon
to bring the natural color, thickness
and lustre Of your hair and remove
dandruff, stop scalp itching and fall
ing hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur because II darkens 80 nat
urally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied. You simp-
ly dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through the
hair, taking one small strand. at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation 1t becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, luStrous and
abundant.
