EASY TO DARKEh
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no
one can tell, because it's done SO
naturally, so evenly. Preparing
this mixture, though, at home is
mussy and troublesome. At little
cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use prepare
ton, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound"
You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and,
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as
we all desire youthful and at
tractive appearance, get busy at
once with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound and look years
younger. This ready-to-use pre-
paration is > del;shtful toilet ~

CENTRAL CHRISTIAN
 REVIVAL SERVICES
 DRAW ATTENTION

Have you ttended the meetings at central Christian church?' is a ques- ton many citizens of Phoenix are be- ing asked by those who have One of the best audiences of the series gath cred In the auditorium of the church last night, when the evangelist dis cussed the doctrine of repentance.
 An introductory song service con dueted by Mr. Pollock was participated m by nearly all present. MT. Pollock has way of making everybody in his audience want Co sing. and his solos are features greatly enjoyed by ev- erybody.
 PauIs sermon on Mars Hill furnished the scripture setting for the sermon. and the evangelist presented truth af- ter truth in striking manner. He com mented upon Paurs statement regard ing the place superstition had in Deo- ple's makeup They had erected altars to every conceivable god and then added the one great altar which tne- dedicated to the unknown god, Paul preached about this God who was un- known to them.
 People today woefullv mix their re- ligion with superstition" declared Mir Knowles. Many people are Dossessed oi strange ideas-ouaint opinions or uncanny feelings all of which are the product of some hunch or superstition They call this religion. That is why so many corrupt grafters have been able to use religion as their means of graft Most any enthusiast can come along and get large following of people without much trouble"
 This should not be a discredit to the ] acts of Christianity but rather rev- l elation as 10 the foolishness in tho 1 makeup of men and women. We have l T book which is intended ae the rule nd guide to mans faith That book
