The governors message, specifically

lists to send at least two or three civic

keynote of the intent of this statewide

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN II
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
streaked and faded hair is grandma
theirs recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when youth
full appearance 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-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called, "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about
SO cents a bottle. 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb 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 a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is de
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.-Adv.
