TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother S recipe to bring color,
lustre and youthfulness to hair when
faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundredfold
Don t bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents for 80 cents large bottle, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wveth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended on to bring back
the natural color and lustre of your
hair.
Everybody uses "'Wyeth 5 Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through the hair
taking one small strand at a time; bv
morning the gray hair has disappeared
and after another application it be
comes beautifully dark and appears
glossy and lustrous This readv-to-ust
preparation is a delightful toilet re
quisite for those who desire dark hail
and a youthful appearance. 1t is MOI
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
lyenti0n of disease.-Advt.

rimental to the progress of its citizens
or obstructive to its development,
stamps him as eminently fitted for d
continuation of the position, and the
support of the people of Colorado for
his reelection as a guarantee of the
faith of the populace in man who
has given a clear proof of his ability
for the performance of so important
duty and a satisfaction to the test
presented from time to time by so
