SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe 70
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, Just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
YOU can get this famous old recipe mi
proved by the addition of other Ingre-
dents at small cost, all ready for use
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de.
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair. .
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica--
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and liistrous.

sively profitable financial activities
curtailed when parliament reassem-

A committee of Liverpool women
has exposed the methods of these

and then, by threats, intimidation and
even blackmail, forcing debtors to
fitch from their meager housekeeping
funds penny weekly for each shilling

Many homes have been broken up

anything to keep their husbands from
