DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage, Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Knoyv The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back 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 But brewing at home is tnussy and out-of-date.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. 4 . By morning the gray hair disappears,' and after another application or two, if becomes beautifully dark and glossy, New Photos Here are pictures of Mrs. Bev erly D.

FIRESTONE Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords are not only larger than regular tires— having TWICE the usual air volume and operating on HALF the usual air pressure—but they are of exclusive construction. The flexible carcass is successful because the special Firestone process of Gum-Dipping per mits the thin sidewall to flex and absorb the shocks of the road without breaking down its structure. Every car owner has seen tires go to pieces in a short while because of the effects of tread separation and sidewall failure due to running the tire while underinflated. Firestone Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords are especially built for low air pressure. Each fibre * of cord in the carcass is thoroughly satura*-ed and insulated with pure, live rubber. In action the tire folds and bends, yielding to the in equalities of the road without strain or deterior ating effect. The result is a cushion air for Americus Steam Vulcanizing Co. J.jW.
