To Darker Hair
Apply Sage Tea
Look Young! Bring Back It's Natural
Color, Gloss and Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is fading streaked or
gray. Mixing the SageTea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in :
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkering your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
and after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark.

Sulphur Clears
A Pimply Skin
Apply Sulphur AS Told When You,
Skin Breaks Out

Any breaking out of the skin on
face, neck, arms, or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-S Sulphur
The pimples seem to dry right up
and go away, declares noted skin
socialist.
Nothing has ever been found to
take the place of sulphur as a pimple
remover. 1t is harmless and inexpen-
sive. Just ask any druggist for small
jar of Mentho-Eulphur and use it like
cold cream. adv

n rARY ANDERSON had never

n KARY ANDERSON had never
lVI wanted anything in the
thirty-two years of her life
as much as she wanted one of the
new electric ranges. A man came
to town demonstra ting them, and on
her last trip to the city she had
gone to see him cook a dinner in
one, with Elizabeth Burrill, who had
just had one put into her kitchen.
For q few days after she came
home from town Mary talked of
nothing else, but she couldn't seem
to interest Tom in the slightest.
1.-Two hundred dollars is an awful
lot of money these days, Name" he
said, especially when our old stove
Is as good as the day we bought it,
and there are so many things we
have just got to have for the farm
this year. I have to have a new
harrow, you know that?"
But Mary couldn't seem to take
no for an answer. The thought of
one of those white and shining
nickel ranges that could cook a din
ner while you were out picking
Strawberries intrigued her very soul.
She began to think that Tom
couldn't care for her any more, al
though UP to now she had
sidered him model husband
and herself a lucky girl.
''It wasn't as though he
couldn't afford it," she thought to
herself resentfully one night as she
stood braiding her hair before the
M in he, T1s-
money. He just don't care how
hard slave over that old cook
stove" and for the first time she
went to sleep without saying good
night to her husband. Lets not
talk about it any more" he had said
that very evening, turning his paper
and appearing engrossed in the
sporting page.
Very well. She would work till
she broke down, she would. 1t was
all very we'll for Tom to enjoy hk
nice clean house and his well,cook.
ed meals. He didn't know what it
meant to stand over a red-hot stove
with the thermometer at a hundred.
He had never cooked a meal in his
life.
In the days that followed she even
resented his joy in the babies. 1t
wasn't fair, she told herself, for him
to have only the enjoyment of them,
and for her to have all the work.
After the first day of GOODNESS be-
tween them, it was evident that Tom
regretted it all and was anxious to
get back to the old friendly footing.
But Mary met his advances coldly
It will be time enough when he has
ordered me stove, she thought.
And each day she was more unhaK
Ply. Then some one told her about
buying a, stove on the installment
plan, and she made up her mind to
get it herself. She'd make the first
payment, have it delivered and Tom
would have to finish paying for it.
His pride wouldn't let the hardware
people take it back, once they had
installed it.
That night when Mary went up
stairs she went to her bureau and
took out worn black purse. In it
was the money she had been saving
during the year for a new rug and
some little white fur coats and caps
for the children. She would use
that for the first payment. May L
have the horse to go in town with
this afternoon" she asked Tom the
next morning.
Sure" he told her. 81 have to go
