SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY, SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to ~grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mIissy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle OF
NWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
1t 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
a time. By morning theNgray hair dis
appears, and after another application OF
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance
1t is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.

Saginaw, Nov. 3O.-Exposure of

be done to foster, to. greatness, two

Fordney would seem the more import

place which entities him to be chair

it may be stated he will have it.

ers, who packed Representative hall
at the capitol and in the evening, told
members of the Lansing Real Estate
board, of the intricacies of the. excess
profits tax law and other financial
legislation which had been adopted by
the national legislature.
During the interview of more than
an hour, Mr.. Fordney was interrupted
repeatedly by telephone calls from
friends who called to arrange busi-
ness matters or for visits with him.
His friendship for them and his inti-
mate knowledge Of each was shown by
the promititude with which he recog-
nized. all voices but one which came
from wire at his ear.
His long years in Washington have
not erased from his memory these
friends, nor have they killed the SYM
pathy which usually exists in the man
who has risen to high place from the
lowest rounds of life's ladder. This
was shown by one of the telephone
talks. "Otto" called. To him, evil
IDENTIFY had been delegated some de-
tail of Mr.. Fordney's private business,
having to do with a loaded freight
car. Though these are days of high
demurrage charges, Mr.. Fordney's m
terest was not that-it was human
itarian. "Otto" had a cold and "Uncls
Joe" insisted, "Don't worry about it
Otto. Be careful of the influenza"
There was deep, sincere sympathy
in the congressman's voice as he spoke
into the receiver.
