Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents for SO cents large bottle, all ready
for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to -pr:1fg hack the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it da.k-
ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You simply
-dampen sponge or soft brush with It
and draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and 1us-
trous. This ready-to-use preparation ia
delightful toilet requisite for those who
desire dark hair and youthful appear
ance. It is not intended for the cure

DAMAGED GOODS"
Famous French Drama, at Bentley
Grand, November is.

Manager j. j. Nelson 0: the
Bentley Grand announces this week
the coming exhibition of "Damag-
ed Goods, the famous French
medical play which caused such a
furore in New York when first pre-
sented on the speaking stage. This
play was originally produced in the
Royale Theatre in Paris, where it
proved to be one of the most SEN
sational and astounding productions
Of the decade.
Damaged Goods" deals with a
subject conventially confined to
general secrecy, an ugly. repulsive
subject which is peculiarly repug-
nant to the fine and ultra sensitive
nostrils of prudish society. Dam
aged Goods tells a harsh, bitter
story, flaying with extreme dare
ness the evils of society and the
curse the social vice has placed ub-
on the unborn generations who
must suffer from hereditary afflict.
ions more deadly than consumr.
tion. Damaged Goods tells the
story of damaged humanity and
during the course of the program
virtually holds a clinic for the
world at large wherein are taught
by example and illustration, the
lessons of cleanliness and morality.
This is not a play for weaklings
it is not play for the children and
they will not be permitted to at
tend this performance unless ac-
companied by their parents or
guardians. No apology is offered
for the exhibition of this film and
if anyone is shocked at the per-
formance they have no complaint,
for warning is here given that
Damaged Goods is a telling,
uncompromising and un-relentless
demonstration of damaged society
and posterity. Admission Csc.

"1he TOymaker's Dream"
Bentley Grand Theater, Saturday
Eveninu, November 10th,

The Toymakers' Dream, William C.
Cushman's latest Offering will be
the attraction at the Bentley Grand
Theater, Saturday, November 10th.
This attraction is conceded to
be one of the best of its kind in
tour this season. Music and song
combined in a delightful way with
an unusually interesting story which
abounds with funny scenes, an el-
aborate production with a complete
scenic equipment, cast of we'll
known artists, and chorus of pref
ty girls that can really sing and
dance. causes the producers to feel
perfectly safe in guaranteeing "The
Toymakers' Dream" as bound to
please.
Unlike most musical comedies
the play is composed of its origin
al music especially written around
the story. The book is said to be in
tensely funny and to possess the
rare charm Of originality, while
the scenes follow one upon another
with a naturalness and unique
humor that captivates the audience.
Few musical plays have embodied
in them SO many delightful melodies
and together with the best singing
and dancing chorus obtainable, the
audienc. is absorbed from the be-
ginning to the end of the perfor-
nance.
