DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a 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 it has
been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at 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, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful APP
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
Vention of disease.

The people in Georgia have raised
$l0,000,000 worth of peaches and wat
ermelons. This doesn't look much as
if they would starve or die of pellagra.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-08-02

Practically all the farms in Georgia
are supplied with water from shallow
wells. This class of water is very la
BILE to serious contamination from sew
erage and refuse animal matter, since
the wells are almost always located III
the vicinity of dwellings.
Absolutely pure water is never
found in nature, impurities in natural
water being derived from solid, liquid
and gaseous material with which 1t
comes in contact. The composition OF
we'll water varies within very wide linn
its even when the waters are derived
from the same geological formation,
due to the fact that the water perco-
1ates ground which is saturated to a
greater or less extent with animal and
vegetable matter. Soils have consid-
cradle exidising power for this organic
matter and it generally happens that it
is entirely destroyed before reaching
the well. A lot of nitrates or ammonia
in we'll water is evidence that the water
has previously been in contact with
matter.
A chemical analysis of water, to-
gether with meteorological examina-
ton, will determine whether it is suit
able for domestic use or drinking pur-

Iposes. The meteorological examma-
ton is important where there has been
sickness in community and especial
ly where typhoid exists, as this bacillus
easily gains access to water supplies.
In purifying water on small scale
for drinking purposes filtration through
animal charcoal removes the greater
part of the injurious substances, but.
such filters soon become a source OF
infection after use. Sterilizing water
by boiling is not as quickly accom-
piished as some people imagine. Boil
ing water for half an hour destroys
about 90 per cent of all bacterial lite,
and the remainder is harmless.
Hard" waters contain mineral mat,
ter and the hardness is temporary"
or permanent" according to the ma
ture of the animal matter When the
water contains carbonate OF lime or
magnesia it may be softened by boil
ing, this is called temporary hardness.
When mineral sulphates, chlorldes,
etc. are present the water is "perma-
nently" hard. More soap has to be
used with hard waters to produce.
lather, and more time is necessary Tor
cooking vegetables when hard" water
is used. F. H. SMITH, Chemist,
