COME SAGE TEAIN = HAIR TO DARKEN IT Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, and youthful with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

The old time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, etreaked and faded hair is -grandTnoth- CTS recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful ap- pearance 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 use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called 'SWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound'' for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. but what de-, lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage WT7d Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. Eshis rezdy-to-use preparation is a de- lghtfuI toilet resquisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It Is not intended for the cure, mitiga- ton or prevention of disease.

pleased me to be able to proudly boast.
Dear me. America is so big that every
section is like different country, and
nothing. either song or dance or food
or anything else, can typify the whole
country. 1t would need a series of
anything Then it occurred to me,
why not an act of dances and songs
IMPLYING different parts of our coun-
try" The more l thought about Il,
the more | liked the idea. So we ar
ranged all our own dancing steps and
