Navy Department officials first heard of the attack
on the Lusana this afternoon through the press dis

Prominent officials of the department said they had
expected the Lusitana would Re SUNK but had thought it

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become dark,
glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, on
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade of
hair which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied Be
sides, 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, taking
one small strand at time. By morn.
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica.
tions, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance of
abundance.
