Small pieces of pa per attached to pins designate the location of the principal towns cap- tured.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and 1ustre or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by Q lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands Of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just 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; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and youthful ap- oearance to the hair. It is not in- ended for the cure, mitigation or pre- yention of disease.
