GRANDMA USED SAGE.
TEA TO DARkEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with It to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into q
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. just few applica-
tions will prove revelation If your hair
is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's 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
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it 30 naturally, 80 evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is . delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the cure,
mitigation Or prevention Of disease. =

Under Danish rule the governor

Under Danish rule the governor

months and in st. Croix the balance
of the year. This accounts for the
state buildings in the two places.
The palace Or governors building at
st. Croix while somewhat denuded

ism government still retains many
features of interest. The furniture
remains, and the walls are decorated
with enormous paintings of members
of the Danish royal family. The
chandeliers are all of frosted glass
displaying the Danish coat of arms
and the fresco work and carvings in
most cases represent crown. IN
