Mrs. Merrit, Librarian, Trustees
Working to Secure Return of
Missing Volumes
Many books have strayed from
the shelves of the Carnegie Library
- during the past year, according to
an inventory just completed by
Mrs. Merritt, librarian in charge.
Many of these volumes arc valua
ble books that circulated freely un
til they became "Lost” in the horn
of patrons, since which time other
Ibirary members have been deprived
of their use. Realizing this, Mr
Merritt and the board of trustee
of the library are engaged in n ef
fort to have every volume returned
to the library shelves before the end
of January.
Discussing the situation caused by
the absence of these missine vol
umes today, Mrs. Merritt requests
that every member of the library
“take a look through the bo k case
and see if there are some books bor-

young people in mission work.

AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You I
Darken Gray, Faded Hair ,
With Sage Tea
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug store
for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” you will get a large bottle of
this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This sim
ple mixture can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say 1 everybody
uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound now because it darkens so natur
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied—it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af
ter another application or two, it is re
stored to its natural «olor and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.
