FEW FOLKS HAVE ::
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lilstre,
or when ii fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful,
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
and luxuriant and you appear years
an appearance of abundance. lAdvt.l

whats i'm a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name: It's history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived, significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
ROSALIE.

d OSALIE and Rose appear to be Of
IN the same general root. the more
euphonious name of Rosalie being a
French extraction. A curious point is
that the color rose is irrevocably as
ISOLATED with the name Rosalie, as
well as Rose.
The history Of the name Resale is
most interesting. 1t first was given
to fair women of France and ii was
there that st. Dominic arranged a
series of flevotions by means of tell
ing beads upon string. These formed
the rosarium. or rose garden, or freely
translated. delights of devotion. The
Rosarium has day to Itself in the
Roman calendar and may possibly
have named the transatlantic Saint
Rose oil LUNA, which gave rise to Ro-
sta. Switzerland calls her Rosel and
France Rosine or Rosette. In Eng
land she is Rosanne, sometimes Rosa
bella, meaning beautiful rose" From
Italy comes Rosina and Rosetta. A
more rare, but no less charming inter-
probation is Rosealba, signifying
white rose"
There are red roses and white roses
and yellow roses in nature, yet the
real rose is the deep pink and the
bearer of the name or any of its de-
rtvatiyes should surround herself with
the flowers IL she would wish the
psychic atmosphere which their quail
ity insures. Her jewel is that rare
beautiful gem, the flame-hearted ruby.
1t denotes pride and haughtiness and
appoints Tuesday as the fortunate day
for us wearer and three the lucky
number.

and Tim kept very still inside the
pie.
The next thing he knew the pie was
being carried by his mother and
father to the dining room and he
heard all the guests excIaim: "Oh.
what a beautiful pie!'
But the next thing he heard made
him tremble so he was sure the pie
must be shaking. for his father began
TO sharpen the knife with which he
was to cut the wonderful pie.
You must make ii very sharp" he
heard his mother say. because the
crust must be cut right through and
not broken"
Tim began to tremble more, and
then his father put the knife on the
top crust and poor Tim could stand no
more.
Up he jumped. right through the top
crust, and frightened the guests al
most out of their senses; but he did
not frighten his mother, for no sooner
had Tim showed his head than Mrs.

kitchen she marched poor Tim, trem-

HOWEVER far the birds you
II know
Away from you may wing,
Whatever wintry winds may blow,
You do not doubt the spring:
At night you do not doubt the dawn
Because the day is done
You know the spring will bring the
lawn.
The morning bring the sun.
AS old as Is experience,
As trlte as truth can be.
This lesson known TO every sense
And taught by bird and tree
And yet a tale we must repeat,
Each scholar. singer. priest.
For men who see the sun retreat
Forget there is an East.
In sorrows winter men forget,
In troubles hour Of night,
That spring shall come returning yet,
To life the morning light.
They do not doubt the dawn. the day,
The spring, the sun, the sod.
They do not question Nature-they
Doubt only Natures God.
