AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From
Pulpit and Sanctuary.
Christian Church.

Good audiences were present at
both services on Sunday. Rev. Ear.
ley's morning sermon was upon
Christian giving. Giving has a four
fold connection with the life of each
Christian. 1t is an act of worship;
a form of service; means of grace;
a business necessity. Prayer and
giving must go together. To pray
THY kingdom come" and then draw
tight the purse strings, is useless.
Faith without works is dead" One
should give according to their means
and may expect to reap according aB
one has sown. Miss Mabel Ware
sang very pretty solo at this ser
vice. One lady united with the
church. In the evening Mr.. Farley
spoke upon"Is the Young Man Safe?"
Many young people were in the audi
ence. Each Sunday evening brings
an increasing number to the service
and the pastors sermons are mainly
addressed to them. Next Sunday
evening the service will be in charge
of the three Endeavor societies. An
interesting program will be given.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR 70 DRRKEN Il
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
thick with a mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it to
keep their hair good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as we are living In an
age when youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready -to-use product
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" for about so cents bottle
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time: by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica.
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is SO
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff
itching scalp and failing hair.
