SAGE TEA TURNS GRAT HAIG DARK H’s Grandmother's Recipe Io Bring Back Color i and Lustre Io Hair i That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy liair can only be had my brew- ' ing a mixture of Sage Tea and bill- ‘ phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it . fades, turns or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the mixture: you can get this famous old recipe imnroved by the addition of other Ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth s Sage and Sulhur Compound. This can always bo dopondod upon to bring hack the natural color and lustre of your hair. . Everybody uses “Wyeth’s ’ Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair has disapeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully d'irk and apears glossy and lustrous. •— STOCKHOLDER'S MEETING Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Citizens Telephone Company of Decatur.
