BE PRETTY!TORN GRAY HAIR DARK Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mtir.sy and troubleNowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage ad Sulphur | Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients. at a small cost. Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so 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 ajc plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. o Sale Os Automobile Licenses Is Heavy (United ITess Service) Indianapolis, Jan. 22 —Litigation brought by the South Berni Motor Bus Company to have the 1923 automobile license law <h* lared unconstitutional has hud only slight effect upon the sale lof licenses, it was stated today at office of tho secretary of state.

Hit’ll School Fraternities Condemned By College Men Indianapolis, Jan. 22—High school fraternities amt the pledging of high school boys hy college fraiernltlea were condomm-d by i-i-prasentativ'-s <-f tho iniorfraternity councils of tiecolleges and universities of tho state ut a meeting In Indianapolis last weekend. According to the action of the State Interfraternity Association, form <d at this ine'-ting, the various fraternity chapters throughout the state will not pledge men until they have properly matriculated at the college where the chapter is located. Purdue. Indiana, Wabash, DePauw, Butler and lluimver are members of the new Association and ull of these schools were represented ut Indianapolis, except Wabash. Other action was taken relative to the rising of Hcholarship and the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in the various schools. The resolutions regarding high school fraternities proclaimed these organizations to be undemocratic, interfering with rather than assisting the co-operative workings of the average high school. It was emphasized that tho average high school student is too immature to fully appreciate the high ideals of fraternities and that in high schools then- is no need for the housing facilities afforded by the college ami university organizations. Since school fraternities exist in direct violation of state laws, copies of tho resoultions will be sent to state authorities, asking that they take action regarding the organizations. The action taken in opposition to the pledging of high school boys wil go into effect imim dfately upon its adoption by all of* the individual college fraternity councils. Some of the representatives told of numerous cases when- sophomores and juniors in high schools were pledge<l. Maitj- chapters have previously pledged high school students, particulary athletes, before these students have even visited the chapter. The lure of a pledge button, and the address prestige in school was jsaid to attract tho high school youth I more than the fraternity itself and its i standing and ideala. o SULPHUR SOOTHES UGLY, ITCHING SKIN THE FIRST APPLICATION MAKES SKIN COOL AND COMFORTABLE It you are "tittering from ecrema or some other torturing, embarrassing skin trouble you may quickly be rid of it by nstng Rowles Menthir Sulphur, declares a noted skin specialist.
