TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
n Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using 1t
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we. are, liv-
ing in an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyetl1's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through. your hair, taking one small
strand at . time; BY morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
50 attractive.

CHARGES A LACK
OF COOPERATION
STATE BOARD OF HEALT H
WANTS MONTHLY ANALY-
Sis OF CITY'S WATER.

The state board OF health, through
J. H. Woodfall, director of sanitary
engineering and water analysis, has
issued table showing the status of
the water supplies of Georgia cities
and towns and also their standing
with respect to cooperation with the
department.
In this table Dawson is listed as
having given no cooperation at all,
and therefore no report is made as to
the water supply here. Eighty-six 9TH
er places are similarly charged with
not cooperating with the board,
among them being the following
towns in this section: Arlington,
Blakely, Brentwood, Fl Gaines. LeaTy,
Shellman, Smithville and Triton.
Towns in this section reported as
giving excellent cooperation are AL
bany and Plains; giving fair co-opera-
ton, Americus; giving poor co-opera-
ton, Cuthbert, Edison and Richland.
Mayor McLendon, when seen in re-
gard to the report of the state board
OF health, said it was a well-known
fact that Dawson has one. of the most
satisfactory water supplies to be
found anywhere, and that it had not
been deemed necessary to incur the
expense of a monthly analysis, which
is desired by the state authorities.
This would be SIS, of which SIS
would be for an outfit furnished by
the state board, and the payment to
the board of $100 a month thereaf-
ter. He said, however, that the mat
ter has been taken up with the city
authorities and they would in the flu
ture cooperate with the health board
and arrange to have a monthly analy-
sis made of the water supply.
On different occasions an analysis
has been made of Dawson's water,
and each time the report has been
most favorable.
