BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell If you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color AMI
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t at
ZONE, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. Youndampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strands at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
ether application or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy and al
tractive
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-,
vention of disease. ADV.

Want NATIONAL
TRAFFIC rules
Uniformity of Regulations is a
Vital Problem of Motoring;
A. A. A. on Right Track

The CRYING need for system OF
national traffic rules is becoming
more urgent with each passing sea-
sen. and nationwide agitation IS
now being carried on to get some
action toward standardizing the laws
which govern motor traffic through
out the United States.
In no state is the need of uniform
laws more noticeable than In Cali
fornia. where tourists from all. over
the land flock by the thousands eacn
year. and whose stories of inconveni-
erice and annoyance make IT. appar-
ent that IL transcontinental touring
and interstate motor travelling are 10
become the big recreation for auto
mobilists, some laws, enacled by
Congress, will have to be pass, d TO
unity and standardize traffic rules
throughout the land.
1T is apparent that the time for
big drive in the interest of uniform
traffic rules throughout the United
States has arrived" declares Frank
o. Renstrom, head of the Frank o..
Renstrom Company. "In many states
there are evidences of the inclination
of legislatures to adopt uniform reg
ulations as proposed by the American
Automobile Associations legislative
board. which has taken up this sub
ject to bring about countrywide
understanding.
certainly the A. A. A. is on the
right track and, IL it complies a pro-
posed act that can be used generally
throughout the United States, can
see no reason why such an act should
not be adopted by each one of the
several states.
"The A. A. A.. ! understand, has
received many assurances OF interest,
particularly in Maine and Louisiana.
"The two big points to be ,consid-
cred in framing a uniform law are
right of way and glazing headlights,
according to Mr.. White, who believes
that these two things stand out ahead
of everything in the uniform traffic
problem
In the matter of right of way, he
declares In favor Of plan which
would provide that vehicle give
way on the right or on the left OF an
approaching vehicle, eliminating any
north-south versus east-west regula-
ton or giving through traffic on the
main arteries the advantage.
In New Jersey and Maryland the
state law now requires a right OF
way to vehicles approaching on the
left, while in many states north-south
traffic has precedence over that going
in other directions.
