Able Than TenBroeCk or
StaS for Water Board

While he refused TO say that he
would support anyone's candidacy for
the water board appoinement, Mayor
Frank Dorsey in his first press inter-
view this morning, made 1t evident
that he would not support either for
mer Mayor John +. TenBroeck or
Chauncey c. Baldwin, Kitchen cabi-
net candidate for the place. Very
apparently the mayor will throw his
support to Charles ID. Snedeker, the
present incumbent, who Is a Democrat
and endeavor to have Mr.. Snedeker
retained as a member of the board.
When asked as to how he stood on
the water board appointment. Mayor

at It? I've only looked at it a little
bit"
The mayor then called In a stem

interview saying that he wanted his
interview on important topics to be
quoted accurately and In their entire
ty. in this the mayor is apparently
intending to follow the lead set by
Mayor Hylan of New York, In having
stenographic notes taken OF his every
important interview for the press.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
0ld-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmOth-
er's time She used il to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tracfive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
oUt-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A Well-known downtown druggist
says il darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell IL has
been applied. You simply dampen al
sponge or soft brush with il and
draw this through your hair, takingl
one strand at a time. BY mOrningl
the gray.-hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be
comes beautifully dark and glossy. ~
