AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle Of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now. because no one
can possibly tell thai you darkencG
your hair, as it does it SD naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ar-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is delightful
toilet requisite. It Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. {

A. s:::a doing a service very much
Ike ;:.::a our Saviour did while on
earth. Not only did He speak the
saving word, but He healed the sick,
fed the hungry and comforted the
sorrowing; and these kindly minis
tries in relieving human need re-
vesied His spirit and commended
His gospel. So these organizations
are meeting the soldiers needs OF

others in the days to come.
