Ladies! Darker
Your Gray Hair
Look years younger! Use Grand
mothers recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur and nobody will =
know,

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its ma
tural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair Beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. i
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton OF other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
ior those who desire more youth
ful appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of

Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
49,
Get In the habit Of drinking 4
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's max
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look we'll What a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate OH
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleanses out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a Splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions OF people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject of inside-bathing before

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
ii you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you car use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub, it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries, quickly and evenly
and it leaves the scalp soft and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every men,
