DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur DarkeHs
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 byea 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 at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
tare 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 1t 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
an appearance OF abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a 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.

strength so rapidly. She sleeps sound

Word male" Excoriated
From the Constitution
Georgia's Governing Laws Placed in
Harmony With Those of U. S.

That abominab1e word male" in
our constitution was excoriated Mon
day afternoon by Mrs. Mary L. Nc
Lendon, the sister of Mrs. w. H. Eel
ton, in her speech before the house
committee on constitutional amend
ments in support of the bill to strike
the word male" from the constitution
OF Georgia wherever it appears as a
qualification of citizenship.
The effect of this amendment not
only would be to place the constitu-
ton of Georgia in harmony with the
constitution of the United States in re-
gard to woman suffrage, but also to
entitle women to hold public office
and function as citizens in all other
respects in this state.
Others who spoke for the bill were
Mrs. FELTON, and Mrs. J. K. Ottley.
The appearance of Mrs. FELTON, and
her sister, Mrs. McLendon, both over
eighty, both white-haired, but both as
alert and vigorous intellectually as any
man in the legislature, was remark
able and impressive spectacle. These
two sisters have been crusading for
the ballot forty years or more, and at
last they have seen their great OBJ
jective gained by the onward marching
hosts OF suffrage. They missed last
year by a narrow margin the coveted
privilege of voting in the presidential
election, but they can vote in all cleo
tons from this time forth, and hope
and expect to live until another presi-
dental election rolls around.
Passes the Senate.
The bill has since been passed by
the senate 1t strikes from the code
the limitations on civil privileges OF
women, but exempts them from jury,
police and road duty. According to its
provisions women may run for and
hold Office in the state and are put on
civil par with males with the excep-
ton of jury service. They are made
subject to poll tax.

Wheels. Going Around
Again at Great Rate
Hundreds of Men Added to Forces OF
Factories in Big Rubber Center.

There's more cheer in Akron, Ohio,
the rubber center of the world, these
DAYS. Great improvement in the tire
business is making the wheels go
round in the big rubber factories at
a great rate, and as a result hundreds
Of men have been added to the fac
tory forces.
Following the announcement OF a
few days ago that the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company was increasing
production and re-hiring former en-
ployees, now comes the announcement
OF further increases both in produc-
ton figures and in the number OF men
to be taken on in the Goodyear fac
tories This necesSitates the employ
ment of hundreds of additional men.
The increase in production is ex
planned by the fact that tire stocks
are low for this time of year and must
be Immediately increased to take care
of the increase in sales to tire dealers
all over the country. And i'll addition to
this sales to car manufacturers, which
have been materially curtailed for
some months, are showing a marked
improvement with the increased sale
of new cars. While not anticipating
any boom in business Goodyear Of
ficials express themselves as believing
that the tire industry is getting on a
sound and substantial basis.
Business experts have all along con-
tinued to express the belief that the
automotive industry would be one of
the first to show improvement and be
the forerunner of the revival of gen
eral business conditions, and from in
dications in Akron this improvement
has commenced.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent OF his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
1t IS the same in buying Chamberlain s
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but a few cents, and bottle of it in
the house often saves a doctors bill
OF several dollars.-adv.
