TURN HAIR DARK
With sage TEA
II Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sag 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 liv-
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 prod
uct called "Wyeth's Sage. and Sulphur
Compound for about so cents 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 a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that
besides beautifully darkening the hair

of Stamp Incident.

The dam went out in Topeka last
Sunday morning, and a flood of pre-
MUM stamp advertising struck the
town.

Capital and Topeka merchants and
the Topeka Journal to accept no
premium stamp advertising, or adver-
Using in which premium stamps were
mentioned, was abrogated by the Capt.

with about five pages of stamp ads.
The green stamp people were jubi-
liant. They said they didn't care what
the State Journal might do now, that
they would give them some stamp
advertising if they wanted it, but they
were not going to worry about it a
bit. The Journal on Monday an
nounced that it would stand pat" and
continue to refuse stamp advertising.
