Lotion for Gray Hair.

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-I read a
statement made by well
known newspaper writer that
sulphur mixed with three parts
of bay rum is a great pre-
ventive of graying hair. Have you
found this to be the case in your years
of experience? If so, how would you
use it? Should the sulphur be dis
solved in the bay rum? L should ap-
preciate your suggestions and ldeaS On
this subject. (2) Also, what type OF
exercise would be most et1ectlVe IN Ie-
ducing flesh accumulationS from tne
region of the stomach? the 1at IS al
most over the ribs. in fact, just TOO
much fat right over the stomach. Would
be extremely grateful to have your ao-
vice along this line also. Thanking you,
A READER.
