AN OLD RECIPE
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
 Hair Dark and Youthful at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com rounded. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound You will get a, large bottle of this old time recipe i'm proved by the addition of other in- Eredients for about 50 cents Every body uses this preparation now, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t SO naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's. Sage and Sulphur Com- pound Is delightful toilet requisite, It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.

pany. In the production of automo- piles, there are at present two types of engineers, the naturally mechanical and the theorist. MT. Law, by his accomplishments, proved without doubt to be of the former kind.
 It was the 40 h. D. car designed by MT. Law that made such a wonderful reputation for the Columbia people. It was a vehicle that auto judges agreed as being one of the sturdiest makes in the motor vehicle world, and was tribute to the engineering abil- ity of MT. Law. The Eastern Motors company, Inc, in securing such a practical engineer, has taken the first step toward making New Britain's new industry a success. The coming of the concern is being hailed with de- light by local people, as spirited eff forts had been made by other cities in New England to secure the plant to manufacture the Charter Oak car.
