BE PRETTY /! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look Youngl Nobody Can Tell If You
Use Grandmother's Simple Recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray.
Years ago the only way to get this mix
ture was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of 9th.
er ingredients, at small cost.
Don't stay grayi Try It'll No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as 1t does it so naturally and even
ly. You 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, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. KS
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful ap.

they are going to have chance to study lots of
other things from cooking to carpentry, from cleo

That's going to be the big job of these United

worked out to let fighters 60 to school-to give

respondence courses SO that however isolated man

While they are right the ground they will be
able to visit places where European history has been
made.
Instructors will be drawn from the Army and
