The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded. gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand.
mothers 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 wonder
full effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug, store for a bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get this ia,
nous old preparation, improved by
the addition Of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to re.
store natural color and beauty to
the hair
A well-known downtown druggist

Senator Ball said yesterday that

amended to liberalize the items m

generous listing Of compenRticn
the Ball measure differs from the
Fitzgerald bill In that # allows the
injured parties to elect whether they
will accept compensation under the
compensation act or bring suit In
the courts.
The bill introduced yesterday-re-
lieves employees of the necessity OF
proving the employer responsible
for injuries and compels the latter
to carry sufficient insurance TO
cover potential claims. The rights
to compensation are nonassignabie
and are exempt from attachment
for claims OF creditors.
CLAIMS HAVE PRIORITY.
Other features are that the con.
