Be Pretty! Turn
Gray Hair Dark
Lock Young! Nobody Can Tell if You
Use Grandmother's Simple Recipe
Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle OF this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition of other in-
gradients. for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does so naturally and even
ly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time: by morning the gray hair dis
appears. and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not i'll
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.

Somebody has been measuring the

to ascertain the size and form of the
resonating, or re-Soundipg, cavities
that occupy the lower part of the
skull, and that mpart to the voice
many Of its most important qualities,
Besides measurements on skulls IN
museums, 1900 living persons have
been subjected to this scientific probe,
including many famous singers, and it
is claimed that some remarkable dis
covcries of undeveloped voices OF
great power and excellence, possessed
by persons who had never suspected
their endowment. have thus been
made, In such cases, it would appear,
the owners of the unused resonating
cavities had remained ignorant of ma
lures gift simply because they had
never tried their voices except in ordi-
nary conversation.
1t is averrcd that the measurement
