SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded,
streaked locks and they be-
come dark, glossy, youthful.

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, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
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 APP
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive

Life Insurance Company Takes Action
Against Reuben Weeks.
a foreclosure suit was filed in the
United States district court today by
the Mutual Life Insurance Co, of New
Jersey, against Reuben Weeks, ct al.
of Belvue, Kan. The company states
that on May 13, 1920. it loaned to
Weeks the sum of $4,000 on a prom
issory note, signed by himself and
wife, and secured by a mortgage on
5591s acres of Wabaunsee county
land.
The loan was made for a period of
five years at the rate of u per cent,
the petition states, with interest
coupons coming due every six months,
the conditions being that if any cou-
pom became in default the principal
would become due. Now the com
pany alleges that the interest coupon
of $495 which became due December
l, 1921, is unpaid and it seeks col
lection of the entire amount by asking
that the mortgage be foreclosed.
