DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and, Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody VIII
Know

The use of Sage and sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its ma
tural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull faded or streaked ap-
p~earance, this simple mixture was APP
piled with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy an
out of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
AMY drug store for a bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be
depended upon to restore natural
i%cclor and beauty to the hair.
A wel-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair 80 naturally
land evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
heen> applied. o sim ply dampen y
Isponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking ont
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. INK after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com,
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended FOL
the cure, mitigation or prevention o.
disease. ADV.

IT over the $4,000. o0o. 600 line in rec
ord time.
Secretary McAdoo before leaving on
a tour Of tho South. .ciamped the lid
on ofhciaI announcements OF loan
sales. Consequently the treasury de-
p~artrnent tonight could not even make
an official estimate Of sales Saturday
and today. Unofficial figures, how
ever, show that sales and pledges for
the first two days run to approx
mately $500. 600, 900.
This amount, one-tenth Of the min
imum total to be sold, representing
only two of the t~wenty-four business
days on which the bonds will be sold,
was highly gratifying to leaders in
the campaign here. No reliably ac-
cura1e figures will be announced for
some DAYS. II was said tonight At
the treasury department.
When figures finally are produced.
they will represent not the total
amount OF bonds pledged or sold on
the installment plan. but the amount
Of cash receipts paid in on bonds.
This idea has been adopted 10 guard
against Over-enthusiastic reports
which might endanger the success
of the campaign. Treasury officials
have asked Newspaper men. in writ
