SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's GRANDMOTHER Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called WyeEh's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.

city an hour earlier each day would
work hardship.
He was interrupted with the Que5-
ton whether or not such hardship
would not come almost entirely from
the earlier closing of the banks of the
city, which he admitted probably was
true. 1t was then suggested to him
that the closing hours of the banks
be set back an hour, giving them the
same actual closing time as now
worked hard heretofore to have the
banks closing hour made o'clock
instead of 2, and intimated that he
would be heartily in favor of doing
that now, but explained that there
were other banks in the city besides
his own.
Alderman Mashburn expressed him
self as being ready to give the public
what it wanted and stated that senti-
ment, as he had ascertained it, appar-
emily was solidly in favor of the
change. Aldermen Bell and Poole ap-
peared undecided and took no part in
the discussion other than asking a few
questions.
The resolution was formally post
poned, which means that council de
clined to act upon ii, it being pointed
out that the next meeting of council
will be merely formal for the purpose
of approving of the minutes of last
nights meeting and adiourning sine
die.
1t is probable the proposal will be
renewed before the new city council
after its organization in January.
