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

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded CIR streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is russv and
out-cf- date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle OF "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and bee --ty
to the hair.
A we1l-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hai-. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and 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. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

ready-to-eat from stores vi the kind
mentioned. Diphtheria, tuberculosis,
pneumonia, various sore threats,
these are the likely ones.
1t matters not whether it be labo-
ratory, hospital, a physicians Of
flee, a meat market or private resi-
dence, you may estimate it's sanitary
worth by the facilities for washing the
hands
We do not refer to visible dirt, to
the soiling of children's hands and
clothing by dirt, in their play, for in
stance. That sort of dirt is just as
wholesome as it ever was. We refer
to invisible dirt, the sort which may
get into your meat from the mouth OF
the clerk, or into your mouth from
your contaminated, though clean
looking fingers. The best antidote for
this sort of dirt is soap and water.
The best preventive is absolute per-
sonal cleanliness, cleanliness with q
conscience, not just visible cleanli-
ness. A person apparently freshly
bathed and dressed is just as likely
to be careless about the promiscuous
spreading of his saliva as one who
looks untidy. Indeed we notice clean
looking people splitting indiscriminate-
ly on the street everywhere.
