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 streaked, just few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance 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
er ingredients. Thousands OF folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepare
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; af-
ter another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and yO7 %
gear years younger.

Coach Finds Good
Foot Ball Stuff
In High School

Cody High school this fall sends
its football eleven into action against
the other teams of the Basin country
with its best prospects for success in
history.
Coach o. P. Roberts, former star
tackle with the Montana State Col
lege eleven, has been busy since the
beginning of the school term, lining
up candidates for the 1923 team, and
he says that prospects are excellent
for a team of ability, and he is instill-
ing in the men a desire to make them
selves known in the football circles
of western Wyoming.
Practically the entire team of 1922
is back in school this year, and Coach
Roberts has found some new men that
are showing up well in practice, and
who stand good chances t. win posi-
tons on the schools first eleven. Fol
lowers of high school athletics see a
lew interest in the schools athletics
and the spirit in which the candidates
for the team have entered into the
work, substantiates their claims.
Greybull comes to Cody on Septem-
Der 20 for the opening game of the
season, and Roberts men will be
ready to go into action with a deter
mination to regain for Cody the
laurels lost to Greybull last fall. The
remainder of Cody's schedule, as an
nounced yesterday follows:
October 6-Lovell at Lowell.

of the line said this silence indicates
the vessel probably is safe.
The strange behavior of the sea is
principally noticeable at San Pedro.
The damage in the harbor there was
caused by the swapping of hawsers,
some twelve inches thick, which prov
ed too weak to hold some of the ships
to their moorings.
Some seamen say that the four
tidal waves which struck the southern
California coast Sunday night, fol-
lowed by huge surges and the ensuing
heavy seas are but forerunners of a
larger tidal wave which is racing
across the sea from Japan. So far,
however, no such phenomenon has
been reported by ships at sea. Altho
no details of what happened to the
Taiyo were contained in its wireless,
the assumption is that it was damag-
ed by one of the huge waves which
have been reported sweeping over the
Pacific.

Fifty thousand dollars damage has
