COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR To DARkEN Il
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
thick with a mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment and folks are again using it to
keep their hair a good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as we are living IN an
age when a youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home All
drug stores sell the ready -to-use product
called 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy for about SO cents a bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff
itching scalp and falling hair.

timber. in water courses and in
waterfall, this Vast region, surpass-
ing in extent England and Scotland
combined, is in the very heart of
of the country.
Toward the setting sun are the
mightyIprairie ssstates,4 with their
immense grain yields :. and their
amazinglys great':tind1strial level
opment. On ssthis side are to be
found Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
and ..the far West, the mighty
metallurgical interests of Cincinna-
ii, Cleveland. Gary, Chicago and
other industrial centers of the West.
The rising sun, as it bathes these
mountain tops with its glory passes
over the orange and grapefruit
groves of Florida, on through the
cotton belt and the almost limitless
trucking fields of the coast, which
now run far into the interior.
In this mountain region can be
assembled not only the raw ma
terials with which nature has en-
lowed this section, but the fruits
and vegetables, the meats, the
grains and the grasses of the South
and the West that would find a
common meeting ground in these
mountain sections.
This region ought to be develop
ed as the great scenic and resort
place of America.
1t ought to be made widely
known. and far more attractive
than the mountains of Colorado.
1t ought to be advertised ten
times more broadly than it has
ever been advertised sz5sz M !, g..
1t ought to be crowed winter and
summer, with people from every
part of the land, North and West
as we'll as South.
The possibilities for this section
as resort region are unsurpassed
by any other section of any other
country on earth And yet the re-
sort feature, as great as it's potent
ialities are, is not so great as the
possibilities of this region for the
development of industrial interests,
where irnatic : n >nta dos would
give the highest possible efficiency
to worhmen.
Nowhere else in all the land can
there be foun1 a region where the
raw materials for manufacture and
the foodstuffs for maintaining popu-
lation can be so advanta geo 1sly
assembled in connection with a
climate so invigorating, winter and
summer as that of this wonderland
from West Virginia to North Ala
bama.
If these advantages can be con-
tinuously and INCREASINGLY and
broadly made known to the country
there will eventually come a de-
velopment worthy of the matchless
charms and limitless resources of
this Heaven blessed country

SOUTH'S MOUNTAIN REGION

How little the South knows about
itself and how little the country
knows about the South may be ty-
pified in the vague, indefinite
knowledge of this section and OF
and other sections Of the wonder
full mountain regions which stretch
rom West Virginia to Northern
Alabama. Here and there ase
found spots, such as some OF the
summer resorts in the Virginia and
Carolina mountains, and a few
places noted as winter as we'll as
summer resorts which are known
t general public. But dim
and hazy is the knowledge Of the

is the knowledge of the South itself

THE WAY OF THESE WOMEN

dain of her have never met any woman in
the world but Sybil Cluley who counts to me.
Lucille half closed her eyes. Her head was
thrown proudly back. One saw that she
was suffering. "A moon-faced chit she
muttered, paid to play antics upon the
stage for the amusement of her betters! When
man like you with brains, who should know
what women really are, what race counts for,

reckless rocker, drew an overdraft on the
bank of cheer, and proceeded to read aloud
that fine story of Fiona Nacleod's about
the good old North Countryman who every
morning walked ont u1@:-,, ,,,:s breezy head
land and took off his hat to the beauty of the
world.
Later in the day the chairman of the
lecture committee called to pay his respects,
and in the course of our conversation told
him of my experience with Conk.
Il congratulate you most heartily, said
he, laughing. You came off rather better
than an exchange professor from Germany
who came out here last year to give course
of lectures at our agricultural college. He
asked Conk in his pleasant German way
for more spacious quarters, and Conks
answer was, Sure can giae va more space.
And taking the professors suitcase in one
hand, and the professor in the other, he
rushed them both to the front door, threw
the suitcase out into the street, and, pushing
the professor gently out after it, remarked,
'There-I guess there's room enough for va
ont there"
Whether the chairman was mind reader
or not | do not know; but do know that in
response to my telepathic calls for help he
turned to the Only Muse and suggested that
in view of certain possibilities which might
incapacitate me from filling my engagement
at the lecture hall that night we had much

would find warm welcome.

".Just you take her over with YOU now, and
I'll see Conk. and paw nv BILL and come
