had passed between them-he could
give no name TO II. but he knew that
Harriet Santoine never could think
OF him again without a stirring Of her

Eaton felt II was the beginning Of

An enviable state of affairs is re-

ATLANTA, March 23,-Between
fifteen and twenty per cent fewer
sweet potatoes were in commercial
warehouses Of the state March /,

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur 1t
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre At Once

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks strealled, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances i4s appearance a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of 9TH
err ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara-
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell,
as it darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush
with it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; afr
ter another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustreus, and you ape
pear years younger.
