DARKEN GRAY HAIR
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and 1ustre. or
wien it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up
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 mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents by asking at any drug store for So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur 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
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease

 the people said, was the name of Washington It was said that when he was a young man he climbed higher than anyone else to scratch his name they said, was the name of a young man who had had a strange adventure in trying to write his name above that of the Father of His Country
 This foolhardy boy, whose name was Pepper, climbed up the rock to write his name above the rest Pepper climbed up by holding to little broken places in the rocks until he had got above the names of all the other climbers He ventured to climb till he had passed the marks which people say are part of Washington's name. Here Pepper held fast with one hand while he scratched his name upon the rock
 His companions were far below him. He could not get down again. The rock face was too smooth He could not stoop to put his hands down into the cracks where his feet were. If he had tried to, he would have lost his hold and been dashed to pieces on the rocks below
 There was nothing to do now but to climb out from under the bridge and so up the face of the rock to the top of the gorge He must do this or die. As the time wore on he worked his way up.s When he could find a little bush in the rocks he thought himself lucky. At last he began to get out at the side of the bridge, where he could be seen from above. His strength was almost gone. He could not cling to the rock much longer. 4 rope with a moose in it was swung to him. He let go his grip the rock and threw his arms and body into the moose. The rope drew tight about his body and held him. He knew no more.
 He was drawn up over the rocks to the summit, quite unconscious Years afterward he became a man of dis tinction in his state; but when any of his friends asked Colonel Pepper about | his climbing out from under the Nat l lra1 Bridge he would say: That was a | ooy's foolish adventure"
