quota of ships and a larger force Of

TURN HAIR DARK

of Sage Tea and Sulphur

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother treat
ment, and folks are again using it to
keep their hair n good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are iv-
ing in an age when youthful appear
ance 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 Com
pound" for about so cents bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb of soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing 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 produces, that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive; besides, prevents dan
druff, itching scalp and falling hair
