AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly com
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded. streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients. at very little cost.
Everybody uses this preparation
now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair,
as it does it so naturally and evenly.
You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through syour
hair. taking one small strand at a
time: by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another applica-
ton or two. your hair becomes beau
tifully dark. thick and glossy and
YOU look years younger-Adv.

young and adult specimens, and
from my observations 1 should say
the animal in question is nothing
more than a porcupine." Mr.. James
stated. II realize that the hair of

enough to protrude beyond the fur
and it gave the animal an entirely
different appearance. The feet, skull

this matter has been brought to

The Best Cough Syrup
is Homemade.
Here's an easy why TO nave %, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this well.
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have Won ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of q
cough will soon earn it q permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21s ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to ill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn SYRUP. instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready.made for three times
its cost.
It is really wonderful how quickly
this home made remedy conuuers o
cough-nsually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm.
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma. 49,.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.

Mary Pickford in her new Tess of

city by storm. Devotees to this star
in particular and the cinema in gen.

selecting this triumph of the past as
worthy material for the making of a
still greater film.
1t is confidently predicted by most
of the best versed critics that this
1922 model of "Tess of the storm

that future generations are sure to

conducting the services. Many were
obliged to find seats in the gallery.
The service was one long to be re-
membered for the hearty inspira-
tional singing, for the beautiful in
terpretative solos by Miss Wiley, for
the strong Biblical message by Miss
Olson, and for the number of men,
boys. and women who responded to
the invitation to begin the Christian
life. Miss Edith Olsen, took for her
text the famous words of PLATE to
the rulers. What then shall 1 do
with Jesus who is called the Christ 2"
