Be PRETTY TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old Fav0rite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the nat
ural color and lustre to the hair
when faded, streaked or gray.
Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get large bot
tie of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other
ingredients, at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darken-
ed your hair, as it does it so
naturally and evenly. You damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet re-
quisite for those who desire dark
hair and youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

was best for us.
We went through the outskirts

We found the brick barracks
all occupied and were assigned to
wooden barracks. They had to be

blankets, so we Jared nicely.
The melting snow quickly con-

a little sunshine and north wind
soon dried the ground sufficiently
for walking.
One Of the first things the Col

sons, Of whom they might justly
