COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma keeps her locks dark, glossy. thick with a mixture of
 Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers treatment, and folks are gain using it to keep their hair good, even color, which is quite sen sible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance 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 product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about soc a bottle. It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundnce which is so attractive; be- sides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighter to-day than a generation ago-but are they stronger? That's grave question. So many pinched faces, dulled eyes and languid feelings make us wonder if they will ever grow into robust, healthy men and women.
 If your children catch colds easily, are tired when rising, lack healthy color, or find studies difficult, give them Scott's Emulsion for one month to enrich their blood and restore the body-forces to healthy action.
 Scott's Emulsion is used in private schools. It is not a "patent medicine, simply highly concentrated oi1-food, without alcohol or harmful drugs. It cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene- fits lungs and strengthens the system. Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.
