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 a large bottle of this old-time rec ipe Improved by the addition of other Ingredients ,at very little cost. Everybody UEes thlB prepara tion now, because no one can pos sibly 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 your hair .taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an-* other application of two, your hAlr becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. —(Advertisement.) j Where you may buy Paint with Confidence > Wherever you sec the > the above window pos ter displayed it identi fies a progressive, de pendable merchant. i From him you may buy, with confidence, your paints and varnishes — he is a Fuller dealer.
