FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Wcll-known local druggist says every
body is using old-tiIne recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and luStre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
ifeless, is caused. by lack Of sui
pfur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful,
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive. 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 a 50-cent bottle OF "Nyet
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkenS the hair SO naturally, SO even
~, that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just 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 disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully 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 Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful appear
ance to the hair. 1t is not intended
for the cure. mitigation or prevention
Of disease.

The great auditorium, to Walt, had

Walt could see, hear and feel to the
last breaking nerve in him, was that
Janet was moving her lips before

When her stumbling words finally
faltered out something, in Walt was
concentrated all the stiffening of en-
barrassment which the whole audi

speakers name, Walt did not breathe,
nor unclench his fingers until he
heard her repeat Roy Nicolrs whis-

would indeed make the whole world
