TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can
 Tell

The old.time mixture of Sage Iea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks arc again using it to keep their hair good, even color, which is quite sensible, as ws are living in an age when a youthful appearance is Of the greatest ad- vantage.
 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 product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" IL is very popular because nobody can dis cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disap- pears, but what delights the ladies with wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli- cations, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

 The report showed that during the year mortgage of $3r700 on the property owned by the church at the corner of Bassett street and Rockwell avenue had been paid off entirely and that the church was entirely free from debt. This is acknowledged to be a very important step towards the new church building which will be erected eventually on that corner, on the site immediately adjoining the parsonage.
 The members acknowledged their appreciation of the services of their pastor, Rev. Gustave H. Schneck, and his efforts to achieve financial pros- perity for his congregation by voting him a substantial increase in salary. All 1928 bills were reported paid.
 It was reported also that $S,400 had been raised for current expenses and $500 had been given to missions
 Officers were reelected as fol- lows: President. William Fiemenann: clerf, A. F. Eichstaedt: treasurer, Emil Schaal; financial secretary. Fer dinand Young; trustees, Albert Lippke and John Ziel; deacons. Albert Lippke, William Rext and Richard Presidents of the church societies are as follows: Ladies' Aid, Mrs. G. H.
