TURN HAIR DM W SAGE TH Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy and thick with a simple mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea end Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother’s treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living m 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 called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand nt a time: by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre anti appearance of abundance which is so attractive: besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. — SHOPS WILL CLOSE MONDAY All Union barber shops in Decatur will close next Monday, January 3rd. in celebration of New Years day. As the holiday falls on Saturday this year it has been decided to observe the day on the Monday following. STORES CLOSE EARLY The dry goods stores and five and ten cent stores have begun closing at six o'clock all evenings except Saturday evening, during the winter and will continue the early closing until April.
