VISITING NURSE SOCIETY
ADDS HOURLY SERVICE
Makes Second Addition to Its Work
= fer Benefit of Public Within
Present Year.

Announcement is made by the In
structive Visiting Nurses Society that
il will soon add to its activities an
hourly nursing system. This service will
furnish to the public trained nurse for
an hour OF more at time. The charge
between S I'm. and 5 pm. will be 10
cents for the first hour and so cents FOR
each additional hour. The charge at
other times will be 81 for the first hour
and as cents for each hour thereafter.
The addition of the hourly nursing
service makes the second addition to
the work of the Instructive Visiting
Nurses Society this year. Recently the
society announced that 1t had inaugu-
rated the supervised nurse service,
whereby an attendant nurse, supervised
by a trained nurse, could be obtained
for $3.50 a week.
The particular service has proved
exceedingly popular. the society haV-
ing forty-six attendant nurses on
cases The demands for this service
are far greater than the supply OF
attendant nurses.
For years the I. V. n. S. has been
working among the poorer classes
caring for the sick and teaching
hygiene. In addition, the societys
nurses made visits to the sick at
charges ranging from 10 to 50 cents.
No pay was accepted where the ram
ffy was too poor.
The society is planning to extend its
activities still further by adding a
maternity service.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grandmoth-
er recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur
and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing FADED, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother IS time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and out
date. Nowadays, by asking at any
rug store for bottle of Wyeth s Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair
A well-known downtown druggist says
lit darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand al
a time. BY morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another. application o.
two, it becomes beautifully dark ant
glossy.-Adv.
