TEA TURNS

It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful. even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is you charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked just an
application or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dients at a small cost, all ready for
use. 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the nat
ural color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur COMPOUND now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning he gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
tion 1t becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.

Straight TO NiGISGn'S SGytGtte

The team Of volIey ball players
captained by Rev. Wilbert Westcott,

met its downfall yesterday afternoon
when Chris Nielsen, with q picked
team, took three straight games from
the champs" Nielsen's team has
now earned the championship laurels
and it is willing to hold this title
against any seXtet which might be
organized.
The dethroned champs had their
regular lineup but the speed of their
opponents had them bewildered in
the first game, the score being 1873.
With the first game in their favor
Nielsen's men were optimistic about
the second and continued to slam the
ball over the net, anneXing the second
game 1871.
In the last game Westcotts men.
realizing 1t was their last chance to
retain their supremacy, made a hard
fight for victory but were nosed out
by one point, 15-14. The Westeott
combination led by five points near
the end of the game but at this
stage Nielsen's men frightened up and
held the champs scoreless while
they themselves slowly climbed up to
a 14-14 tie.
Some wonderful volleying was
done by the teams during the night,
the ball being in the air for several
minutes on many occasions before a
weak spot" could be found in which
to land the ball. The two teams had
the pick of the business mems classes
and these weak spots were hard to
locate.
Playing with Capt Westcott were
Gilbert Peakes, Walter H.. War;,
George w. Sharp, ,Jr., Charles j
Seaman, Jr., and Tngfred T. Madsen.

by Capt. Nielsen is composed Of Ing

The Parish House team is a strong
combination, judging from the fact
that they are still juniors, but they
are accustomed to the size Of their
court, and it is hard to pea the team
on this court. The All Stars were kept
