LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage
Tea-and Sulphur Rec
ipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a 80 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell Il has
been applied You simply dampen Q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.-Adv.

President Bailey named Sen. Chick
Of Kennebec. Sen. Gillin Of Penobscot
and Sen. Walker Of Somerset as a
committee of conference on the resi-
dent hunters law which had been
passed in the House and killed in the
Senate.
Senator Deering, tabled for consider
alton Wednesday morning the amend
ed act Incorporating the Gould Elec-
trio Co.
The once dead and afterwards res
directed jewelry lien bill which in its
reincarnation had received a favorable
report from the judiciary committee so
far as the majority of that body was
concerned with an adverse minority
report. went a step further towards
passage today when on motion Of Sen.
Butler the favorable majority report
was accepted and the bill given first
reading.
The wedding Of the two bills relat-
ing to the public utilities law, one of
which would grant passes to police
men and firemen under certain circum-
stances, and the other would provide

nection with automatic IRE protection
sprinkler service was successfully ac-
complished Tuesday afternoon in the
Senate. On motion of Senator Lord
certain minor amendments to the two
bills which had been ama1gamated in
the House the other day were adopted
and the bill as amalgamated was pass
ed. Sen. Lord then Aad indefinitely
postponed House bill 300, which was
the original sprinkler bill.
Sen. Butler OF Knox and Sen. Boyn-
ton of Lincoln succeeded in overturn-
ing the report of the committee or SAL
aries and fees refusing an increase

Lincoln county clerk of courts. 1t de-
veloped in the course of the debate
in which Sen. Gillin of Penobscot also
spoke in favor of the change and Sen.
Grant of Cumberland urged the sus-
tanning of the report of the commit
tee that Lincoln was the only coun-
ty in the State where the clerk of the
courts received as low as $1,000. Sen.
Grant declared that there was log roll
ing and lobbying being attempted to
overturn the report of the committee
and that Governor Milliken was OPP
posed to any change in salaries at the
present time. Sen. Butler insisted that
there were glaring inequalities in the
salary lists. The bill was substituted
for the adverse committee report and
then tabled for printing.
Considerable progress was made in
up the unassigned matters
on the calendar and at $40 adjourn
ment was taken until $50 Wednesday

in the blood.
On account of the peculiar nature of
woman. and the great drain placed upon
her system at certain periods, she re-
quires iron much more than man to help
make up for the loss.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you any good.
You don't get the strength out of it, and
as a consequence you become weak, pale
and sickly looking, just like a plant try

you are not strong or we'll you owe 1t to
yourself to make the following test: See
