Turn Hair Dark '
WithSageTea
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with i simple mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur v
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage. '
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing at
home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the ad
dition of other ingredients, . called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," for about 50 cents a bottle,
h is very popular because nobody
oan Aimvr it has been arjDlied. Sinl-
I ply moisten your comb or a soft
fBrush with it and draw, this through
your hair, taking one smal) strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delignts tne laaies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli
cations it also produces that soft lus
tre and appearance or aDunuancc
which is so attractive, This ready-to-delisrhtful
toilet
requisite for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. 11 is not in
