To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. Just q few applica-
tons will prove revelation If your hair
is fading, streaked gray. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get 50-cent bottle of Wyeths sage
and Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
darlening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared
and. after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark, CLOS
sy. soft and luXurant
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.-Adv.

millions, that have no pretension of rea-
sonable facilities for getting to purchas-

be established the basis of credit as
already suggested, and as now seems
probable, it is to be hoped American
capitalists will participate in further
loans which will permit the rapid ex-
tension of railroad lines, for this will
tend to correspondingly increase the vol

Sanitary science has of late made

Those Of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-

daisy by opening the sluices Of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-

HOW THIN PEOPLE
CAN PUT ON FLESH

Thin men and women--that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night. What became Of all the fat
producing nourishment it contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce. That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open CRATE. The material was there,
but your food doesn't work and stick,
and the plain truth Is you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost Of cooking. This
is true of thin folks the world over.
Your nutritive organs, your functions
Of assimilation, are probably sadly out
Of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one Of those single Sargol
tablet. In two weeks note the differ
ence. Let the scales be the Judge
Five to eight good solid pounds OF
healthy, "stay-there" fat may be the
net result. Sargol aims to charge
weak, stagnant blood with millions Of
fresh new red blood corpuscles-to
give the blood the carrying power to
deliver every ounce Of fat-making ma.
terial in your food to every part of
your body. Sargol, too, mixes with
your food. to prepare it for the blood
in an easily assimilated form. Thin
people tell how they have gained all
the way from 10 to Is pounds a month
while taking Sargol and say that the
new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are a careful combination Of six of the
best assimilative elements known to
