FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Wcll-known Local Druggist Says Every.
body 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
lfeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks darl, and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this oldtime recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
5O-eent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, SO evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied
Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops
scalp itching and falling hair. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance of abundance.-Adv.

WHEN MEN WORE MUFFS.
Likewise Silk Stockings and Plaid
ShawIs and Capes.


In the good old days about which so
many men so dreamily read and pro-
fess to reverence. and when men were
believed to be more bold and dashing
and daring than they are now, the muff
was the thing of winter wear for men.

period of the muff for men. 1t had
been an article of mems apparel for
many years before, and men retained
the muff for long years afterward, 1t
being cast off when men forswore col
ored silks and satins, rare laces and
jeweled shoe buckles.
1t was not SO far back in American
history that men wore silk stockings
not merely silk socks-and knee gar
ters and fancy garter buckles, and
many men walking the streets Of
Washington today remember when
their sex wore brilliant plaid shawls
and when the cloth cape. called a

eating $1,150 have been imposed on
them by the State Game Department
for having violated the law in buying
partridge, which is prohibited at all
times.
The three offenders were Mrs. f. De-

thropic work; Frank V. Burton and DR..
s, A. Waldron. Mrs. Hitch suffered the
heaviest penalty, paying $500.
This is said to be the heaviest fine
ever imposed for an offense of that kind
in this State. The partridge were sold
by Mrs. Chauncey Ferguson for her
husband, who shot them. Mrs. Fergu-
son gave information which led to the
imposing of the penalties.
