LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates bark to grandmother s time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful ef
fect. .
But brewing at home is ntussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of ‘‘Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will
get this famous old preparation, im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
- hair. . . , ,
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair 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
your hair, taking one strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy,

Christmas
To Old Friends
and New Ones
UR forefathers had few of
the opportunities for enjoy
ment we have nowadays,
hut what opportunities they
had they made full use of.
The grand time of mirth
and jollity landed round
about Christmas and ‘the
New Year, - n irt tor days
they let themselves go with an enthu
siasm that would leave this present age
far behind.
In country districts all work ceased
for three or four days at Yule. This
meant that for a number of weeks pre
vious flails hud to be busy early and
lute threshing a sufficiency of straw
anil grain to last through the holiday
timer The women folk lmd to be as
busy Inside as the men were out. Tne
“Yeel kebbnek” bad been long before
well pressed and “wttn," but ala had to
be brewed, cakes, bread, and lmiinocks
baked, anil a supply of smoked fish
bought aud stored for the grand oc
casion.

school girl seven years old.
At Christmas please bring mo a big
talking doll, some sparklers, nuts, rai

P. S. Please bring something for
Lncile ami .Millard.
In some districts omens were drawn
from the way the wort boiled in the
brewing and the way the' cakes be
haved in the baking. “If the wort biles
i’ the pot” was an old saying. There
was an oatcake baked for each member
of tlie household, and if a cake broke
in the baking then death was to be
tlie lot of its owner before the coming
year had run Its course.

ORIGINAL SANTA CLAUS
He is believed to have been St.
Nicholas, n bishop in the year 300. He
Wns famous for bis kindness to chil
dren. It Is said that one night, wish
ing to help u nobleman who was so
poor that lie had no money for bis
daughter’s dowry, the good bishop
looked In at the old man’s window nud
saw him asleep by the lire. He then
climbed upon the roof and dropped a
gold piece down the chimney,,thinking
that it would fall upon the hearth.
But It fell instead in one of the .gentle
man’s stockings, which Ills daughter
hnd hung up to dry beside tlie fire.
This started tho custom of hanging
stockings over the fireplace and tho
legend of Santa coming down the
chimney.
