TAN GOERS AGAIN TO DANCE HEN IS EXPECTED
FOR EMPTY STOCKING FUND
Encouraged by the success of the first Tango Tea for the benefit of Ike Empty Stocking
Fund, the Christmas Editor to-day announces another and bigger one.
This TANGO TEA will be held at the splendid new Hotel Winseoff jo* after the theater
’ at 10:30 p. m. Monday night.
All you first-nighters jot that down quick. The theater and “the daneant"—you een’t
l imagine a jollier combination than that, and all roads are sure to lead straight from the Foray* n
; and the Atlanta to the new Wlnecoff.
The dance will be held in the beautifully appointed ballroom and Manager Harrell will do
everything in his power to make the affair a huge success.
The admission will be 50 cents, and of course every penny will go to fill a stocking for
some poor youngster who isn’t as yet on Santa Claus' list and isn’t likely to be unless you help.

W. R. Hearst Adds
$100 to Xmas Fund
For Atlanta Poor
William Randolph Haarat Thurs
day morning added $100 to The
Georgian-Amarican Empty Stock
ing Fund, which is being raised
to bring Santa Claua into the
home* of hundreds of Atlanta s
poor children.
Mr. Hearat’s action in making a
donation to the Atlanta fund is in
line with hia policy of contributing
heavily to the work of giving poor
children a happy Chr.stmas in ev-
ery city where he has paper*. Every
Haarat paper In the United States
Los Angeles, New York, San
Francisco and other cities—is try
ing to raise a fund of sufficient
proportione to bring Chrietmas to
every home that othorwiae would
face the tragedy of the empty
stocking. ,,
In 1912 the Hearst papers in the
United States raised more than
$100 000, which was devoted to the
benefit of the poor little boys and
girls. The generous response
which the citizens of Atlanta and
other cities are making to the ap
peal! this year indicate that the
1913 Christmas fund will be the
largest in the history of the move
ment.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
,V
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Hair that loses its color and luster, or
when it fade*, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a 50-
cent Nit tie of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- '
phur Heir Remedy.” which darkens the !
natr so naturally, so evenly, that no. 1
body can possibly tel! it has been up- I
plied. Besides, it takes off dandruff. |
stops scalp itching and falling hair Y<*u
Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking on»' small strand at a time By.
morning the gray hair disappears: but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beau- 1
tifully darkening the hair aft*r a few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and luster and gives It an . >pear-
a nee of abundance. — AUv*
