Try Grandmother's old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back tho natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago tho only way
to get this mixture was to make It at
home, which Is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound," you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, Iru
proved by the addition of other in
gredients, for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It bo 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 another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com

taken to correct It by the cultivation
of such powers as will enable those
who possess them to accurately report
to others what they have soon or
what they have heard. Most people re
spect truth and desire to bo truthful,
hut very few worship truth, as Utey
should, by efforts to reach It in their
intorcotir.se with their fellowinen. As
much mischief may be done In society
by n merely careless talker with a

The Mountain Ash.
Long ago people believed In witches
md evil spirits, who were going about
the country doing harm. They also
believed that the rowan (mountain
ash) iiad some charm to do away with
their evil powers.
So all the maidens wore the scarlet
berries of the rownu In their hair, nnd
the young men carried canes made
from the branches of the sumo tree.
The housewife hung brunches of the
berries over her doorway, while her
ood iimn hung the same about his
barns and stables, so the witches could
have no power over his sheep and cnt
tie and horses.
For the same purpose they kept n
grent hoop of rowan branches.
Through this they made tho young
calves and lninbs Jump. This act was
intended to keep sickness and death
away from them at least the good
man thought so. Every iinlinnl had
to Jump through the hoop whether lie
wanted to or not, for tho good man
switched his legs with a rowan switch
until the Jumping was accomplished.
Wonderful Maine "Skeeters."
The mosquitoes up on Puslinw
stream seem to have a size and char

It Is said thut two young old town men
went up the stream lust Sunday In a

quitoes of Mich size nnd strength that
they (the boys) were lifted out of their
'iitioe iiiid unceremoniously dumped in
to the stream. Another story says that
a mosquito alighted on one of the fel
low's neck nnd ho struck at It with I
such force that he upset the craft but
most people believo tho first story.
