TRY IT! SAYS SAGE TEA DARKENS

Mliisl With Sulphur Makes Hair Holt
and Luxuriant nutl Iteuiotes
Dandruff.
Tho old-time mlxturo of Sago Tea
and Sulphur for darkening grny,
streaked and faded hair Is coming In
vogue ngaln, says a well known down
town druggist. It wns our grand
mother's treatment nud hundreds of
women and men, too, nro agnln using
It to keep their hair a good, even
color which I quite sensible, ns we
aro living In an ago when a youth
fill appearance Is of the greatest ad
vantage. Nowadays, though, vvn don't hnvo
tho troublesome task of gathering
tho sago and tho mussy mixing at
home. All drug stores sell the ready
to ur product called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Itemedy" for shout
r.0 conts n buttle H Is tho most pop
ular because nobody can discover It
has been applied. Simply dampen a
soft brush or spongo with ,,Woth,H
Sago nud Sulphur" nud draw this
through your bnlr, t.klng one small
strand at a time Do this tonight,
and by morning the gray hair ills
appears and after another applica
tion It Is restored to Its natural color.
What delights tho ladles with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Is that be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
they say it produce that soft luster
nud appearance of abundance whlili
Is so attractive; besides prevents
dandruff; Itching scalp and falling
hair. Hero, you grnylmlred folks,
gel busy, look years younger.
