Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Any Shade
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
oId-time Recipe that Any.
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark. glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
get this famous old preparation. i'm
proved 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
saws 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at q time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two. il becomes beautl-
fully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. II is not intended for the
cure. mitigation or prevention OF dis
ease.-fAdy.t

DANCES ARE HELD
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
FOLK ON FRIDAYS

new form of healthful recreation
was recently introduced at the local
nigh school in the form of matinee
canoes. These dances occur every Fri
dav afternoon in the high school gym
nasium. and last from to $50
O'Clock. The plan followed has been
10 give each of the four classes one
Friday a month. In this way each
student attends but one dance a
month. although there is dance held
every Friday afternoon. Music is fur
nlshed by the high school orchestra.
That these dances have been highly
successful is indicated by the register
or attendance at each. So far the
freshmen have turned out the largest
, numbers-the other classes turning
out close to ninety per cent of their
membership.
Another round of the dances will
; begin tomorrow night-the seniors be-
ing in charge; and it is the earnest
hope of the faculty that parents may
| md time to attend some of the social
afternoon affairs. The students were
instructed to invite their parents to
| the first series of dances, but the ma
1ority failed to do so. Those parents
who were present. however, expressed
their utmost satisfaction with the ar
rangement. The series of dances just
beginning promises to be even more
popular than the former series as
most of the students have learned tc
dance by this time A cordial invi
tation is extended by the faculty tc
all parents who may wish to visit the
school on Friday afternoons and learn
how the social affairs are conducted.
