HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea
Grandmother kfpt her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
f;idcd or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-'
pound," you will get a large bottle of
this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This sim
ple mixture can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say everybody
uses Weth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound now because it darkens so natur
ally 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
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af
ter another application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.

In llilM (hero was raised by direct taxation In

direct properly, tax levied lu th 1'nilcd fllalen for
tati; purposes. Jt constitutes nearly ono-hatf of
most ol' the farmers' taxes, and In the city It often
means one-fourth of tho entire ax.
In Minnesota In lflliO, the direct property lax
for stale purposes was $ 1 ,t; 7, 1 1 which Is about
one-sixth of what On'oti property owners were
called upon to pay for stato purposes, und yet
the assessed valiuj of taxable property in Minne
