IF HAIR IS TURNING
 CRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't look old Try Grandmother's recipe to darken and beautify
 faded, Streaked hair.
B Myrtle Street

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When 1t fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance hum dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients al a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre oi your hair
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because 1t darkens so naturally and evenly that nObdy can tell it 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 the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and apDparS glossy and luStrOuS

In the moonlight on the bank OF
the Big River Peter Rabbit sat gos-
siping with Honker the Goose. Sud-
denl:. they were interrupted by a
wild, strange cry from the middle of
the Big River. 1t was like crazy
laughter. Peter jumped at the sound
but Honker merely chuckled.
ITS Dippy the Loom" said Honker.
''He spent the summer in the Far
North not far from us and started
south just before we did.
II wish he would come in here. so
that I could get a good look at him
and make his acquaintance" said
Peter.
HE may. but I doubt it," replied
Honker. "You know, Dippy practical
ly lives on the water and rarely
comes ashore. He's about the most
awkward fellow on land of any one
1 know Of"
"Why should he be any more awk-
ward on land than your asked Peter:
Because" replied Honker, "Old
Mother Nature has given him very
short leg. and has placed them so
far back on his body that he can't
keep his balance to walk and has to
use his wings and bill to help him
over the ground. On shore he is about
the most helpless thing you ever have
seen. On water he is altogether an
other fellow. He's just as much at
home under water as on top. My.
how that fellow can dive! When he
sees the flash of a gun he will get
under water before the shot can
