An Old Recipe
to Darker Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a. large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no enc
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You 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, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger-Advertise-
ment.

For three days he waited without food,
taking water from the airplane radia-

and floated down the stream on an
improvised raft, until he was discov-
cred by ranchers, who gave him food

Al Ro- manoff was the last victim of Balsz, going down after hours and Is min utes of wrestling. Balsz threw Nick Daviscourt two times and kayoed him once in a four round boxing bout at Calexico. StrangIer Lewis agreed to meet Balsz at Mexicali and run out of the match three days be- fore the date of the big bout. If he beats Sauer this evening he expects to get match with Lewis at an early date as Big Ed" has promi1 ed to meet him this time sure.
 Baisz threw Bull Montana in II minutes. grestled Dr. Roller six times winning three and two draws. Next Sunday he. will meet Tom Green traffic officer at Fl Centro in a >poundx and Balsz tipped the beam yesterday at 1s5 pounds.
 Pete Sauer's favorite hold is the toe hold and Balsz has never lost a match by a tue hold. Some of the best in the game have tried the toe hold on him. and even Champion Gofch was unable to make Balsz quit with his favorite hold.
 Sauer's opponent this evening vii present for the first time in Phoeni, the crucifix hold made famous b, Balsx and used only by him.
