Don't Look oIdI Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and 5eautify
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect, By asking at
any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkeng so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

WALLoWING PLACE FOR HENS
Road Dust is Not Recommended for
Chickens as It is Composed
Largely Of Dropplnas.

A dust bath under a south window
makes an ideal wallowing place for
the chickens on a wintry day. Do
not gather up the road dust, it is the
moist and mellow earth which the
birds need to keep their feathers
clean and the skin in healthy condi-
ton; road dust is largely composed of
droppings, and, however fine, it is not
best for the chickens. Enough earth
should be brought In before freezing
to change the dust bath during the
winter If little insect powder, or
crude carbolic acid is added, the dust
bath is an aid in keeping down lice.
