L
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and abun
dant with a brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy,” you will get
a largo bottle of this old-time rec
ipe, ready to use, for about 50
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, because It
darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can teil it has been
applied—it’s so easy to use, too.
You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another appli
cation or two it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and abundant.

Appeal to Police to Locate I Fel1 Clerk in Bus y Chicago
Stage-Struck Daughter. Thoroughfare.
The fwtr that her pretty 17-year-
old daughter, Belle, had been added
to the long list of white slave victims
wns told to the police Thursday by
Mrs. Fanny Miller. No. 152 Wheeler
street, when she visited the station
to plead with the detectives to re
double their efforts to find the girl,
who has beeh missing since Tues
day.
Explaining the ground for her anx
iety, the widowed mother said that a
stylishly dressed young man, repre
senting himself ns a theatrical agent,
had been visiting her daughter lately
and had sought to persuade her to
Join a musical comedy troupe he said
he was organizing.
She feared the girl foolishly had
listened to his stories of the stage an 1
had run away with him, only to And
that his tale of being a theatrical
man was a decoy to lure her into
a life of shame.
Taught Her Steps and Songs.
The young man, she related, came
to the house a number of times and
taught her daughter dancing steps
and several songs he said she would
have to sing. The girl was enrap
tured with the prospects of getting
away from the routine of office work,
being employed as stenographer at
the American Can Company, and
eagerly besought her mother to per
mit her to go on the stage.
Her plans met with a cold recep
tion from this quarter. Mrs. Miller
told her daughter that she never
would think of letting her go on .the
stage, particularly at the solicitation
of a strange young man. The young
man was forbidden the house.
In spite of this, Ethel Miller, an old
er sister of the missing girl, says that
he returned Monday night when the
mother was not at home. She heard
the young man ask her sister if she
would leave home with him. She did
not hear her slater’s answer, but says
that after finishing the customary re
hearsal the young man left the house.
Ethel heard her sister tefi the man
she would meet him at Five Points at
2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
Connected With Other Cases.
The police are doing their utmost
to locate the girl, but after searching
the city, they are of the opinion that
the pair may have taken a train for
New York. Authorities along the
route will be notified, and it is though*
that they will be overtaken in a short
time.
During the last few months a young
man answering the description of th“
alleged kidnaper has been operating
In small towns throughout the South.
It is thought that if this is the same
man the police by capturing him may
get a clew to the many missirig-gir!
cases reported during the year.

CURED IN 10 DAYS
Baltimore, Md., July 19, 1913.— <
"About twenty years ago both my >
legs began to Itch from ankle to
knee. Little pimples crime out
that looked very much like heat.
The Itching and burning was
something terrible. 1 would start
to scratch! and.could not stop. I
would even scratch through the
skin and that of course would
leave a sore which I was com
pelled to bandage.
"I tried several prescriptions and
treatments, hut received not a
particle of benefit—no more than
if the treatments were cold wa
ter. I then began to have very
little faith in anything and of
course could do nothing but
scratch away. After suffering
constantly for twenty years, a
fr:< nd r< commended Reslnol Soap
and Reslnol Ointment. From the
very first application, I found re
lief, and was entirely cured in ten
days. The Itching and stinging
sensations have ceased and mv
skin is as smooth a* a child’s.”
