SAGE TEA PUTS LIFE

Don't Stay Gray! Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens Hair SO Natur
 ally that Nobody can tell.

You can turn gray. faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if youll get a 50 cent bottle of "Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound' at any drug store. Mill lions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually. says a well-known druggist here be- cause it darkens the hair so natural ly and evenly that no one can tell 1t has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray. becoming faded, dry, scraggly and thin have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applica- tions the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful-all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling hair stops,
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't want cd around, so get busy with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur tonight, and you'll be delighted with your dark. hand some hair and your youthful appear ance within a few days.

FORD CHECKS 60 OUT
 ID 10000 EACH DAY

DETROIT, Aug 2S.-These are busy. days particularly busy days-at the Ford Motor company's administration building. Checlls-each for $50-are going out to more than 300.000 Ford owners who by puchasing their cars between August, 1914, and August, 1915 participate in Ford profits to the az gregate of more than s15.OOO. 900. This disbursement is in itself rather stu pendous task. The checks are being mailed al the rate of about 10 600 a day
 large and distinct organization has been arranged to complete this task When the profit sharing plan for Ford owners was announced August 1. 1914, a department to handls the details was installed in the Ford administration building. For several weeks now q large corps of stenOgraphers has been filling in the 30,000 names in the checks. These names are taken from the orig inal bills of sale
 The work of signing more than 300- 900 checks itself offered a problem Each check carries the signature of one of the three assistant cashiers and the most inveterate scribber might easily develop writer's cramp and grow exceedingly tired of his own name without some device to tighten his la b6r. There are five checks to sheet and by single operation of the pen these five checks are signed simultan- eOuSlV
