Ninth Federal Reserve district to sell more than $100,000 worth of thrift stamps and war savings stamps for the series of 1920. “The War Savings societies of St. aul are still active and on each pay day the members of these clubs buy stamps,” said Thomas F.

TURN GRAY HAIR DARK Try Grandmother’s Old Favor- ite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Almost everyone know that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streak- ‘ed or gray. Years ago the only way 7 s0 get this mixture -was to make it at home, which is mussy and trou- blesome. Nowaways, by asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large Dbottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at a small cost. Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an~ other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. .. 2 Verbal claim of Mr. Ezra Clark for $20.00 account of personal injury, was referred to the city attorney on motion and second.
