THE WATER NYMPH

Once upon g time there was a beautiful water nymph. Her greatest desire was to sit on the rocks and watch the bright sun all day long One day as she was watching the sun her feet began to take root. her body began to grow Into a long. slender green stem and her face be- came a glowing yellow flower. Thus the first sunflower came to earth.-- Eleanor Cole.

Dear Mir. Editor; am Ii years old. and read The Age Herald every morning In fact mother, auntie and grandma all read The Age Herald If I did not read it in the morning I would feel as though I was going to school without my school books. Lots of times I see things in The Age-Herald that help me in my lessons. Even our cook reads 1t, for she comes early in the morning and prepares breakfast and reads the paper until we are ready to be served.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO OARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.%

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 troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft sbrush 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. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is delightful
toilet requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease. .
