SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and Attractive
ness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and sulphur, properly compounded
brings back the natural color and lustrC
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 other
ingredients, at u small cost.
Don't stay grayl Try il! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as IL does il so naturally and even
ly You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with il and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful ap-
pearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.-Adv.

Both Horses and Brains Need Exercise

The editor of the American Magazine
says in the April number:
Some men stay asleep on their jobs
no matter whether they are strap
hangers in New York or stcrekeepers
in Manistee. The main thing is TO wake
up That is what this man did. He
woke up and shook himself into a state
of rigid examination and overhaul
ing. That Is good for anybody once in a
while. One of the most wonderful things
about this war is the fact that it is
stirring people to think, and to think
hard, about all sorts of questions. Such
mental exercise has not been INDUCED
in by the human race in generations.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt the
men who do big things differ from those
who don't chiefly in the activity of their
minds. The big doors keep up a con-
tinual mental struggle-collectin and
absorbing new facts, studying TO under
stand them, trying to put two and two
together out of this activity they
hit upon good practical ideas which they
see clearly. No mentally lazy man ever
had a really good idea. You can't get
good ideas that way. Good ideas are
born in brains that keep working. You
can't take fat horse out of stall
where it has been locked up long time
and expect it to win race. Neither can
you expect a lazy brain to get out on
the track suddenly and make much of a
record. Both horses and brains thrive
on exercise"

The right for which countless men have died in this country is apty symbolized in the right Of free suffrage which is the method by which "gov- ernmont with the consent of the governed is main- tsined.
 1t is the law that this precious right cannot be used unless the voter is registered proper form. Under the law of Arizona the last day to register Tho coming general state and county election Octo- ber IS. That is Tuesday of next week. If your name iS not upon the register by before that day you will have voice in saying how Arizona and Mari copa county shall be managed during many months 10 come.
