SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII 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 "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
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 1t does it
30 naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at 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.

1t is simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, for the first
time, of an intoxicated ruffian in a
certain melodrama, went to a neigh
