HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make a Remedy for Gray Hair.

A well-known resident of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, who has been a barber
for more than forty years, recently
made the following statement:
Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray hair, and make it
soft apd glossy. To a half-pint of
water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small
box of Barbo Compound and Ia
ounce of glycerine. These ingredi-
ents can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the de-
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t is easy to
use, does not color the most deli
cate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off" adv

only crime is that they were left,
orphans and penniless, on the mercies
Of the world. They are bright, beau
tiful, normal children, of unusually
good parentage, unusually intelligent,
and they should not have to pay the
penalty of this misfortune by having
to spend years and years behind the
walls Of an institution. They deserve
a home and a mother and father,
and chance in life and they would
bring much happiness in return for
all that might be done for them.
There are many readers of The
News Scimitar who are able to care
for and educate these lovely chill
dren, and there are manv others who
might be interested in taking one
child, and from these we should like
to hear also, as there are II other
little boys and girls in our receiving
home who would be wonderously
thankful If Thanksgiving brought
them home, a mother to tuck them
in bed and father to play real Santa

Mrs. Claude D. Sullivan, state SUI

dren's Home society, 901 Acklen ave-

lowing letter to The News Scimitar:
You know it is the policy of the

observation is that the losses and
shocks which bring children to IAN

any amount of trouble and effort to
place such children in the same home.
