DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair
 well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied You simply damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy Adv.

In Defense of CYNTHIA

Dear CyrthIa-May I have the pleas

Of "Dopcy" that your column be climi-

1t Is of real value to some of the read

which are Of interest TO others are very
foolish. But hero is the point, "Dopey."

The nurse looked ut her disapprov-

April evening, glanced curiously at the
door. Only eight o'clock, but the day
had been so long and so quiet that she
had fancied that the hour was much
later, and had wondered who knocked
so late.
She crossed to the door and opened
It to darkness and rain, and to a man
in a raincoat who whipped off spat-
tered cap and stood smiling in the
light Of the lamp she held. Instantly,
with a sort of gasp Of surprise and
pleasure and some deeper emotion. she
set down the lamp, and held out her
hands gropingly and went into his

kissed her, and for q minute they
