COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladies'! Try thisl Darkons Beautifully
and Nobody Can Tell-Bringa Back
Its Close and Youthfulnesa

Common garden sage brewed in
to a heavy tea, with sulphur and
alcohol added, will turn gray,
streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-
use preparation improved by the adj
-dition of other ingredients a large
bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attrac-
tiveness. By darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, CLOS
sy, soft and luxuriant and you ap-
pear years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delight
full toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

Anna Cases Family

Anna Case, the miracle girl of the
Metropolitan, has "a standing joke on
har callers which she delights to
spring in its varied forms.
On arrival at the Case apartment
on West End avenue, New York,
one sees in the music room, with
some alarm, a small pile of toys, in
GLIDING a teddy bear and a rubber
ball, and a series of embarrassing
questions are apt to crowd into ones
mind.
Anna Case, tripping into the room
like a ray of light, evidently enjoys
the embarrassment of her visitor,
and at once commences to play up to
it:
who is owner of these toys?"
"Oh, they belong to General
Foch."
"And who is General Foch?"
"Oh, he is the baby"
In the midst of the profound mys-
t,hcation which follows Anna Case
disappears and marches in little
later with General Foch," perfect
specimen of thoroughbred, prize
winning chinchilla kitten, FIVE
months old, and the son of prize
winner
This is General Foch, the baby"
The caller is further assured that
this wonderful Kitten understands
music. This evidence is supported
by promenade of the kitten along
the keyboard of the piano to the ac-
compartment Of futuristic Leo Orn-
stein music.

The Lecture

A great man lectured,
And l listened eagerly ~
At first-and hopefully,
For some great message,
That he could surely give me.
He talked of beauty,
All life is such, he said,
And then he quickly led
To larger outlook"
And sometimes broader scope" in
stead.
l ceased to listen,
My thoughts went wandering,
To fields of France in spring,
To one gold star,
And depth of sorrow it could bring
How thoughts will wander,
Thank God that they are free,
Though trite the lecture be.
1t reaches not
The inner consciousness of me.
