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 But brewing at home is ntussy and out-of-date.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, Mr. Oliver Harris is at home from a stay of six months in Arizona and Cal ifornia.

'ffiii MM* I OlcLQime 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.

I must close, wishing you n merry Aterry Christmas and a Happy New Year, t am, Yonr little friend, ' DORIS OWENS. 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.
