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

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when 1t fades. turns gray. dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack Of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made
up a 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 at,
tractive, 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 1t 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 few applications. 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance Of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

Sending weather predictions by

and while the plan is yet in the ex-

The central office of the United

eager to see the method tried, and
if further tests are satisfactory the
plan will be made permanent.
Amateur wireless operators in
the tri-cities are giving the pro-

Perhaps the class of men who
would benefit most by wireless pre-

are many wireless outfits in the
country.
