SAGE TEA DARKENS
| HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
0Id-time Recipe That Any
body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used II 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 wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out of date. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a bot
tie of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get this fam.
Dus old preparation, improved by
he addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to
'estore natural color and beauty
% the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair SO natural
y and evenly that nobody can tell
has been applied. You simply
dampen n sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
nair, taking one strand at a time.
BY morning the gray hair disap-
3ears, and after another applica-
ton or two 1t becomes beautifully
lark and glossy.

PUPILS CUT OFF HEAT
AND WIN SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

McKEESPORT, Pa, Jan. 26.--
School children have picked up knowl-
edge not to be found in text books and,
as result Of their ability to apply
that knowledge. have had several
holidays this winter. With small nail
files they have been able to control
the heat OF the school buildings, and
for several weeks had the authorities
mystified at the failure Of the heating
plants to function as they should,
The scheme worked smoothly for a
time, even though experts made ex-
haustive Investigations and spent
hours going over the heating systems.
The ruse, however, was uncovered by
Building Superintendent Small. who
discovered one Of the files In a
thermostat, forcing the control to cut
off the heat and permitting cold air
to pass through the pipes. The secret
out, immediate examinations were
made OF the thermostat controls on
the heating systems Of every school
In the city.
