DARKEN GRAY HAIR,

Sage Tea and Sulphur
DarkenS So Naturally That
Nobody can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades. turns gray. dull and
lifeless. is caused by a lack OF sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture OF Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands Of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which is so attractive. use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly. that nobody can possibly tell
IT has been applied. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with II and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. Is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after q few applications, IL also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
II an appearance OF abundance.

to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in

The collections for defraying the

Tricks on a Rocking Horse.

All the children at once began 10

! getting.
When they were inside the tent how
they did laugh! One OF the children
was in n green suit just as Mr.. Srog
would wear and really looking quite
good deal like a grandson OF Grandpa
Frog. He was hopping about singing
in queer crOaking voice,
Calico, Calico, Goog-a-room, Goog-

Another child who looked like q
snake. because she wore an imitation

Snake Lady. 4 eat things whole" And
as she said this she swallowed q tiny
| crumb for snakes eat things whole.
II am the Toad-Man, come and see
me-" grunted the Toad-or the child
who was dressed like one.
I'VE are the Turtle Babies. We
snap, we play, we draw in our heads
under our shells" And sure enough
they were doing all these tricks.
Their costumes were really quite
wonderful, although they had been
made mostly out Of paper
All the children who were looking on
were quite delighted and said.
I'VE think you are marvellous" And
all the children dressed like animals
made bows and said thank you in
voices that sounded a great deal like
the voices of snakes, toads, frogs and
turtles.
But just then Grandpa Frog was
waking up and his swamp was very
near the spot where the circus was be-
Ing given.
What he exclaimed. Have any
of the children dared to get up before
| said they could? It's spring when
get up. Then the winter is oyer-but
not before" He hurried To the spot
where he heard the frog sounds and
there saw the children all trying to
hop around and talk like he did.
All" he said proudly, putting on his
spectacles for he had had his eyes
closed so long. they can't help but
admire me-" and he woke up the other
frogs, while the toads, turtles and
snakes seemed to wake up at just about
Tie same time. All but the snakes hur-
ried to the circus TO see what was hap
pening. The snakes were too busy at
once trying to see about their new
spring suits but the rest of the crea-
lures came who had been copied, and
they all thought it a great honor to
show them at their waking-up time.

in hot tar; two thickneSSes of tar buud-
ing paper are placed above it and well
moppcd with hot tar and then top thick
ness of flooring is placed. Stable ceiling
must be high enough to allow the
horses to hold their heads up. If the

circulation Of air.
Men who keep good horses Will ap-
preciate the design shown in the ac-
CGmpGnying Illustrations. The ar
rangcment Of stalls is good and there
is large carriage room in which TO
keep vehicles away from the dust.
