depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it

Well on Their Property.
It will interest the many friends of
Messrs. G. M. and S. P. Chambers,
of near Dawson, who own property
in the oil region of Texas, to know
that several days ago a well on their
land gushed forth the slick fluid in
great quantities. The report says the
