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 mus
sy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's
Sake and Sulphur Compound" you will
get a large bottle of this famous old
recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try II! 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 this through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.-Adv.

Tho Strand.
Just as Jordan Is Hard Road,
treats a religious drama in a new
style, so THE Winged Idol" the
Triangle feature now showing at the
Strand, presents an entirely different
aspect of the vampire" subject. In
stead of destroying. the vampire in this
picture builds up. and Instead of cast
ing her weak victim out, takes him in
to her home and cures him of his bad
habits. The story is one which will
hold attention but leaves much to the
understanding of the audience. The
acting is adequate. House Peters is
particularly good while katherine
Kaelred endowed the character of the
vampire with more strength of will
than charm. Crooked to the End" is
the Keystone comedy shown. Hair
raising thrills and side splitting laughs
are in every foot of both reels and
Fred Mace and his associates, aided
by automobiles, locomotives, trolley
cars and bucking bronchos are equal
to all situations.
