LADIES! 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out-of-date.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,

What is a Balloon Tire?
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

MONDAY AFTERNOON. MARCH 3. 1924
“THE BIRTH OF A
NATION’ AT RYLANDER TODA.
D W. Griffith’s master produc
tin, “The Birth of a Nation,” began
a triumphal engagement at the Ry
lander today. There will be two
performances daily, at 3 and 81',
and on the advice/of the manage
ment it is advisable for aH attend
ing the showings to be in their seats
promptly. .
“The Birth of a Nation” has been
brought here in exact reproduction
of the greatest attraction which, in
New York recently set a record by
playing to more people in tv. o
week time than. has ever before
gathered in a playhouse. This was
the massive Capitol Theater where
over 150,000 persons witness the
spectacle in a fortnight.
The merest statement regarding
“The Birth of a Nation” leaps to
superlatives becaus there is no
other form in which it can be wnt
ten. Simple facts in relationship
to its developments sound extrava
gant until you have seen the pro
duction and realized a tithe of '.ls
sweep and power.
It covers the essential Retails on
American history ranging througii
three centuries. Actual battles are
shown with tens of thousands ot
soldiers in the conflict, 18,000
people participated n the itlling of
the story. Three thousand horses
were used to give the cavalry and
other thrilling effects of the wild
dashes over miles of territory.
Cities were built up only to be de
stroyed by fira. J
; j ~
each wheel that affords a revelation in comfort,
safety and economy.
No merely over-sized, underinflated tire will
afford comfort, safety and car conservation
equal to the Balloon Gum-Dipped Cord. We
know of no other tire built with the gum-dipping
process. That is why you see Firestone Balloon
Cum-Dlpped Cords accepted by leading car
manufacturers as equipment for their new 1924
models.
Firestone pioneered the Balloon Tire, testing
it for over two million miles before offering it
for sale.
We are prepared to tell you ALL about Bal
loon Gum-Dipped Cords. We can tell you and
show you what they are, how to secure them
for your car without risk of
travagance or mechanical difficulties. Our men
are prepared to take care of chang»-overs
AND V/E HAVE THE TIRES. Come in
and see us now. >
