GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA ID OARKEN HAIR She mixed Sulphur with it to Restore Color, Gloss,
 Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added. will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Just 9 few applications will prove a revela- tion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- blesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gradients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation Is delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure mitigation or prevention of dis ease.

MINCE Pies
Full Size and Individual,

1t is interesting to note the increas-
ing esteem in which pie of all kinds Is
held ny dietitians. Pie and dyspepsia
were formerly linked together. Today,
we rarely hear, the term dyspepsia,
while pie is, to drop into the vernacu-
lar. going stronger than ever" There
Is no reason why o properly made pie
should be difficult Of digestion; on the
other hand pie is certainly d tooth
some and nourishing item in the FAM
lily dinner or supper menu hat should
be encouraged.
That most serious member of the
pie family, the mince pie, Is undoubt-
edly of. honorable Anglo-Saxon line
ageaThe lover Of Lorna Doonelfor ex-
ample, did heroic deeds after a lunch
of mince pie. The characters of Dick
ems and other early Victorian novel
lists were also addicted to this pastry.
But in our humble opinion the Amer
lean mince pie of today far surpasses
the English model On which it was
copied. We have a lighter hand. it
would seem, both in the making Of
mince meat and OF its covering.
The mince-pie that mother and
GRANDMOTHER made" was a home brew
from start to finish. 1t was an inter-
esting procedure, the collecting Of the
ingredients that make up the winters
mince meat, the measuring. the chop
ping and Splicing Of them. But the
mother Of today is just q little too
busy for this slow process. Moreover,
she has discovered that she can buy
'ready-prepared mince meat that is
just as good as that mother and
grandmother made up in the old
fashioned kitchen. Sentiment aside.
the tmince meat prepared by the first
class food purveyors today is probably
better than that made at home, for
the food manufacturers recipe is an
unvarying formula and the whole
worlds market is theirs from which
to choose the ingredients. With the
ready prepared mince meat at hand,
it is a simple matter for the businest
of housewives to make a. full size
mince pie for dinner, or, if she wishes

THAT GOOD HAM Favor,

Because of the salt. pungent taste
OF ham and crisp bacon, people often
think of these as mere .garnishing or
combination foods. Bacon with liver,
Il thin slice of -broiled ham with our
mutton. chop-these indeed are appe-
tizing, but we should not lose sight of
The fact that these choice. smoked
meats are perfect foods in themselves
and furnish a wholesome full meal as
tlaE as meat goes. s
lHish-grade ham nowadaysis
aloked and cured with scientific ex-
aclness, and in some. cases covered
With stockinet. which insures scleanli-
ness and purity to the last slice. 1t is
f'sna, moist, juicy and tender, and >
VS. housewife will look for these char
acterist;cs, and hen with a whole
ham in the house she is prepared to
withstand a siege
These moked meat are especially
appetizing in cold weather, and GER
tain combinations suggest themselves
as delicious and also as having the
proper food values, to balance the
Drowned sweet potatoes or
candle ones are now canned and so
are at hand all the year around. They
furnish carbohydrates, those sugars
and starches hat are needed by the
human system to give heat and en-
ergy. Then something SOL always Is
needed, boil by the craving of the APP
petite and for scientific reasons. Var
ious tart sauces, or horseradish, or
pickles such as green tomato relish
seem to fit perfectly with baked ham.
And with cold ham, sliced thinly, we
associate mustard or chilli sauce or
green salad, with mayonnaise, and per-
haps jam, and F~rench-fried potatoes.
Bacon is x often combined with
eggs hat we this combination,
and Its flavor is brought out by crisp
toast. A recent test by, physicians
showed that liver n bacon have all
the elements Of an ideal digestible
food. f.
