SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw tnis through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

household tools, the paste pot, glue
pot, ETC., etc. 1t can be quickly and
easily made with the aid of four large
cigar boxes and piece of stout board.
The lids can be removed from the
boxes as they will not be required.
The boxes are fastened to the lower
half of the board with screws. and
in the upper part OF the board two
circular holes about the size of a
penny are cut, by which the whole
thing may be suspended from two
strong brass-headed nails driven into
the wall
A glance at the sketch will explain
this, and for appearances sake the
board at the back should be rounded
at the upper corners and beveled at
the edges When complete. the shelf
can be painted with quick-drying
enamel of color to match or harmon
ize with that of the wall upon which
it is to hang.
A little continuance of this kind will
also be found ysry useful in bed.
