SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
Iustre 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. by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it 81 naturally
and evenly. You dampen 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, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur COM
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
Tor those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention OF disease.

SINGING MADE A SPECIAL
FEATURE AT BAPTIST CHURCH
The six Point Record System" to Be
Used in Sunday School.

Especially attractive was the singing
at both services of the Baptist church
Sunday. The special music was most
excellent, and at the evening service
the congregational singing was the
best enjoyed by the Baptist people in
some while. This is to be specially en-
phasized at all services for the imme-
date future 1t is thought that under
the splendid leadership Of Mr., Floyd
Jennings the congregational singing
can be brought to the highest point
of efficiency.
At the officers and teachers council
to be held Tuesday night, plans will
be made for the perfection OF the use
of the Six Point Record System" i'll
the Sunday school. Mr.. Stevens, SUI
perintendent, feels that the results
from this particular feature of the
work is going to yield gratifying re
suits in efficiency as well as attend
ance.
Subjects for next Sundays sermons
are as follows: Morning, MY Weaker

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have TO contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this RENE
dy may be obtained for trifle.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink q teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
it is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold OF the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
