FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-knoWn Local Druggist Says
Everybody Is Using Old-Time
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color.
that beautiful dark shade Of hair
which is 80 attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dan
druff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen 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: but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur 10 that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair, after q
few applications. 1t also brings back
the gloss and lustre and gives It an
appearance Of abundance. (s)

State Health Commissioner Dixon
of Pennsylvania has made a valuable
discovery In ascertaining through act
ual test that ducks eat up mosquito
larvae in water and do it thoroughly.
The many official pamphlets and books
that have been published on mosquito
determination since it's disease-carry-
ing character has been demonstrated
do not as a rule. speak of the ducks
Partially to . mosquito larvae diet.
Small hsh are given credit for de-
stroytng mosquito larvae, the ever
present minnow in particular. But,
according to Doctor Dixon's test, the
duck does much better at that work
than the fish. The duck is a wader.
as well as swimmer. It searches for
food in the shadows and slime Of
marshes where even the smallest fish
Is not able to go. where mosquito
larvae may abound. It Is shallow,
quiet water that the mosquito pre-
fers. and II the duck likes the mos
quito larvae it is often able to get
at It when fish cannot reach 1t.
