SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray 1 Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any-
body t:an Apply.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dotes hack to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
lain, fi'1^41 er streaked appearance,
this )11np,ie mixture was applied -with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home 1s mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
apy drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Begs and Sulphur Compound.” you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition of other in-
gredients, which can be depended up-
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
k well-known downtown druggist
soya it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen •
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
llarand et a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an-
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

Don't think that just because the Amberola
is reasonably priced, it is an ordinary "talk-

'usual high-priced "talking machines." And
despite the fact that we offer the Amberola as
the world's greatest phonograph value, we will
gladly let you have it on terms that will suit
