LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.


The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used 1t to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied 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out-of-date.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 Compound you will
get this famous old preparation, i'm
proved by the addition OF other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A ~well-known downtown druggist
says 1t 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 at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
p~lication or two, II becomes beautifully
dark and glossy. adv.

APPEAL IS MADE FOR
MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS
Delegation From CoyingtOn Calls on

More Money For School
Teachers.

Frankfort, KY, June 3.-Higher pay
for school teachers is being agitated
by citizens of Covington and yesterday
delegation from that city came here
to confer with Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Gilbert.
Because Of the mediocre salaries
paid teachers, the delegation told Su-
perintendent Gilbert that teachers of
Covington were giving up that voca-
ton in order to enter better paid en-
ployment in Cincinnati and Cleveland
Covigton, they said, was unable to
do anything in the matter, as the tax
limit had been reached. Superintend-
ent Gilbert informed them that he was
powerless to help them in the matter
and suggested that mass meetings be
held in Covington, as in Louisville, in
an effort to secure local aid.
He told them that he expected to ap-
peal the inheritance tax case to the
Appellate Court and hoped that the
court would reverse the decision o.
Circuit Judge Stout handed down to
day in which he held that the schoo
fund could not participate in inherit
ance taxes.

ASSESSMENT SHORTAGE
SERIOUS BLOW TO SCHOOLS
Present City Assessment Would Cut

mate Of Running
Expenses.

The shortage In the city's assess
ment as It now stands would be
greater blow to the public schools
than to any other department In the
city and this Is what the people are
as much interested In as In any other
department Of the city.
The estimate Of expenses for the
city schools for the ensuing year as
filed with council two months ago by
the City Board Of Education shows
that the city schools will need for the
proper operation Of all departments
next year approximately $4,000 and
the legal percentage allotted to the
schools under the assessment as at
present amounts to about $1,000
showing the schools short $4,000.
Unless the assessment can be in
creased through the discovery Of err
rors in the figures, the schools will be
compelled to discontinue some Of their
departments and this would certainly
be serious blow to the city's system
of education which is regarded as
among the best in the state.
