DARKEN f 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 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 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store fcr 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. Y’ou 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, SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to Hair That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul phur. Y'our hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul phur enhances its appearance a hun dredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe im proved by the addition of other ingre dients at a small cost, all ready fcr use. It is called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be de pended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth’s” Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. Y’ou simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another applica tion it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. . » , . . r. < . » f » . i » rrrrrrr" THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER V. S. Organixes To Fight Plague Bubonic Plague Kills 50 Percent of Those Attacked—-Pneu monia Extremely Contagious. BY CHRLES P. STEWART NEA Service Vciter WASHING i u.s, Nov. 17. ! Plague killed a quarter of ire world’s population in o.te epidemic in the 14th century. It may wreak fresh havoc any time, but the world now is organ ized and equipped to fignt. , Plague takes three forms, all due j to the same germ. , Primarily it is a disease of rod | ents—rats, squirrels and their I like.’ The rodents have fleas. When a ■ rodent dies of plague he infected fleas desert the body. It no other | rodent is nearby they make f>r a | human being. Thus plague passes to the human race. Bubonic is plague’s mi’dest form, tnough it kills 50 to 60 per cent of those it attacks. If the flea-bite is. on the lower part of the body—for instance, a leg—the inftrtion ris ing, attacks the glands cf the groin. That’s bubonic. In the septicaemic form, wh ch is] worse, the poison is injected direct ly into the blood. If the flea-bite is high up, the germ attacks the lungs—pneumonic plague. It kills in nearly 100 peri cent of cases. Frequently it kill:; in a day—in two or three days at the cutside. Promptly treated, n good many bubonic and some sept’ iaemic cases recover. For a pneumonic victim practically nothing can be done. Bubonic and septicaemic can be pretty well guarded aginst. For the germ to enter there must be a puncture, such as the flea-bite, cr an abrasion in the skin. Pneumonic plague is extremely contagious. The patient, breathes and coughs out the germs which float in the air, to be inhaled uncon sciously by all who come near. Plague epidemics are of historical record for more than 3000 years, l orty-one are accounted for during the 1500 years before Christ, 109 during the Christian era’s first 1500 years and 45 between 1500 and 1720. Since then Asia has had several < severe outbreaks, but the Occident 1 has had only scattering cases. 1 In the last 15 years, however, this scattering has been growing thicker than it was, even in the western world. According to offi cial records there were 233,718 cases of all forms of .Tlie disease and 139,096 deaths, throughout 40 . countries which made definite re- I Tuesday Will Be Remembered as a Day of | SUPER SPECIALS!
