An Old Recipe to Darken Hair By JANICE RANDALL

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 mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will gety a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, for only 75 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because 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 application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.—Advertisement.

to recite on the material they gather on each month’s character trait. Committees are appointed in each room to arrange the morning programs. “By having them do research work outside school we get the parents cooperation also,” Miss Kirby explained. “In helping the children get their material, they become interested in applying the rules at home.” Throughout the month the upper grade pupils keep self-marked citizenship charts of their actions regarding courtesy, obedience, industry, respect for property, attitude, personal habits, and trustworthiness. Children Honest At the end of the term they are allowed to estimate this citizenship grade as “satisfatcory” or “unsatisfactory.” If the teacher agrees with their estimate of themselves they are not punished for breaking the rules. Miss Kirby has outlined the following character program: September, courtesy; October, obedience; November, gratitude; December, charity; January, courage; February, patriotism; March, kindness; April, trustworthiness; May, industry, and June, success. The project has worked successfully for four years, Miss Kirby said. She finds that a large per cent of the children are honest in 'hecking their own misconduct which she believes a direct result of the character program. A Raw,.

There is a definite need of corrective classes in special centers for this work. “Also little is being done in the city to correct defective speech among pupils. This could be taken care of by traveling assisting teachers, to give individual instruction a few days each week. There is only one teacher of that kind in the city at present.” Mrs. Williams stressed the need of giving more time to industrial arts instruction in special schools for crippled, mentally handicapped and super-normal or gifted children.
