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
lustre 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 7arkened
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

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-

aBEAUTlFY HAND AND WRIST
Simple Exercise and Judicous Care
Frequently Will Be Found to
Work Wonders.

Be careful to protect the hands as
much as possible from rough contact,
whether at work or at play. 1t is
easier to prevent than to cure chaps,
blisters, abrasions, ETC. When wiping
the hands, give a finishing touch TO
each one of the nails, smoothing back
the little line of skin that often per
sists in growing up over the half moon
at the base of the nail.
The following simple exercises are
excellent to give ease and suppleneSs
to the hand and wrist: Extend tho
arms. Let the hands droop Imply at
the wrist. Shake them loosely up and
down several times, then twirl them
around as if describing small circles
in the air. Let the motions be as
free and unrelaxed as possible. Open
and shut the hands vigorously while
extending them above the head, and
stretch the fingers thoroughly, Now
close the hands and bend at the wrist
inward, then outward, several times
/, Do this easily and loosely for timber
ing, and with steady rigidity for
strength. A little massage treatment
will help to make the hands shapely
smooth and flexible. At manicurine
times, and when applying creams and
lotions. rub each palm briskly, then
stroke the fingers and down over the
wrists and up along the arm,
A good cream for softening and
whitening the hands may be made by
taking a portion of any pure cold
cream, about two tablespoonfuls, and

Jealousy that poisoned passion,
And despair that dies for love.
1t is a pleasure for young women to
make new acquaintance, especially
when they are of the opposite sex and
agreeable. It does not follow that
they should be invited to her home on
five minutes acquaintance. A man
may stop few moments to chat with
a young woman who is waiting for a
car and man he has met happens
along. He does not know him par
ticularly well, but he presents him to
the girl. Nor does he think the casual
meeting will go any further.-He is not
expected to know the inner life of
every man he comes in contact with.
He is a pleasant, jolly, good fellow,
that's all he knows of him. He does
not know, nor is he expected to know,
what his faults or habits may be;
whether he has one sweetheart or a
score of them; if he's a man to be
trusted or is one who had best be let
alone
Under such circumstances, a man
with a glib tongue can ingratiate him
