LADES!DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea
and Sulphur Recipe and
Nobody will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect..
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand al 9 time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

spent on road building in North Da-
kota during the past decade under
the old county commissioner-road
supervisor system, at the enormous
expense Of close to $1,000 900 per- mile
Of passable' road, was the declaration
OF Thomas C.. Hutchinson, represen-
tative Of the North Dakota Good
Roads association, who spoke to an
assemblage of business men and
farmers at the Commercial hotel here.
Mr.. Hutchinson stated that the pro-
posed amendment to the state con-
stitution would provide for an an
nual income from motor vehicles. to
be used exclusively for road pur-
poses Of about one and a quarter mill
lion dollars. and also that by divert
ing the n cent per gallon tax on
gasoline from the various funds in
which the money is lost now and
into a permanent road fund, no ad-
dittcnal tax would be necessary to
carry out the proposed road pro-
gram.
