HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell When
You Darken Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took -on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth'a
Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will
get a large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other ingre
dients, all ready to use,, at very little
post. This simple mixture can be depend
ed upon io restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound now because it darkens
no naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied it's so easy to
use, too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
heir, taking one strand at a tunc. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a de
lightful toilet requisite. It is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease. Adv.

NEWBURY
Last Thursday evening at the response
of a general invitation, 25 men met at
the home of J. B. Hale for a double pur
pose that of meeting Foster L. Havi
land and hia friend. Rev. Ernest A. Pres
sy, pastor of the Trinity church, Wood
ford, Portland, Me.; also that of talking
over in an informal way the best method
of forming a men's club in order that
our men can get together oncein two
weeks the coming winter for social inter
course, touch elbows and get better ac
quainted. After a word of welcome from
the host, followed by a few remarks from
Rev. Henry S. Ives, pastor of the Congre
gational church, Mr. Haviland introduced
the speaker, Rev. Ernest A. Pressy, who
covered in his address the whole range
of human history, embracing with won
derful simplicity and clearness five great
epochs, which he separated into conquest,
faith, realization, inspiration and awak
ening, surveying with fascinating con
tinuity life's activities for the past 5,000
years and the impress of its heritage
upon the present period of world strug
gle for the liberty of man.
In an astoni.sfiingly few words Mr.
Pressy pictured the wonderful civiliza
tion existing among the Samarians and
Akkadians, when at the beginning of the
period of conquest B.' C. 5000, the hordes
of Semitic people swept down from the
highlands, overrun the Mesopotamian
valley and took the ancient civilization
in this cradle of the human race between
the Tigris and Euphrates.
ne lucidly portrayed the following pe
riod, the progress of faith, when arose
citizen Abraham and a new phase of his
torical progress was traced for 1,000
years, to the beginning of the third pe
riod, that of realization, remarkable for
the rise and establishment of David and
Solomon and showing of what Abraham
only dreamt was realized in the glories
of ihis new kingdom, preceding the fourth
period of inspiration, evidenced nt by
material but by spiritual progress. Here
Christ brought the inspiration upon
which we live to-day.
With marvelous clearness Mr. Pressy
exhibited his perception as a man and as
a student in bringing his hearers under
standing down through the preceding
years of this fifth epoch, that of the
great awakening, when a new start, a
new inspiration, began following A. D.
1000, when it was thought the world was
at an end, and through the ensuing pe
riod of the birth of art, literature, build
ing and the crusades to the present dawn
of a period of freedom, democracy and
civilization. Following the address light
refreshments were served, short speeches
were made by various ones and a social
time was enjoyed by all. Rev. Mr. Ives
was made president pro tem, Foster L.
Haviland, William Monroe and H. D.
Fulton, committee, and J. B. Hale, sec
retary. With the singing of "America,"
the party broke up as the village clock
struck 12, all feeling well paid for brav
ing the violent storm which had raged all
the evening.

is that it never affects nerves or hqart.
In fact one can drink as much Postum
as he pleases just before bed
time and no ill results follow, for
Postum is pure and absolutely
free from caffeine or any other
harmful drug or substance.
Postum comes in two forms;
Postum Cereal, which must be boiled,
and Instant Postum, made in the cup
in a moment. They are equally delicious
and the cost per cup is about the same.
