COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
• -
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is tronble
soriie. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
■we all desire to retain our youthful ap
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you
appear years younger.

You can get the most
i food value out of wheat
eating bakings that
are made from good
plain flour. A depend
able baking powder must
be employed or you^jdo
not get the full nutritious
value of the wheat—nor
will your bakings be as pal
atable and easily digested.
The same results cannot be
had if you use Self Rising
Flours, which are improperly
packed in porous sacks or
bags, thus allowing absorp
tion of moisture from the air.
Food authorities and physi
cians agree that bakings that
do not raise properly are bad for
health. Such foods are hard to
digest and in time cause stom
ach trouble.
Mothers who are interested in
the proper growth and health of
their children (and all mothers
are) should never use anything
but a good brand of plain flour
and a time-tested leavener such
as Calumet—the economy Baking
Powder.
Calumet has more than the ordi
nary leavening strength. It raises
every baking to its height of nutri
tious value. It is pure and depend
able—do not look for a substitute—
there is none.'
Use Calumet and be positive of whole
some nutritious and economical foods;

$4,000,000 Went to Orphanages.
More than half of the benevolent

$1 Baptist orphanages of the South,
two cf which have been: established
as a result of this movement and
all of which have been greatly helped
by this forward program. Nearly
4,600 orphan boys and girls are be
ing housed, fed, clothed, educated
and trained for Christian citizenship
in these orphanages and the Cam
paign lias put between $860,006 and
$900,000 into the maintenance of
these Institutions each year. The
orphanages are now caring for more
children than their normal capacities
permit, but despite this extra effort
the institutions have been compelled
to turn down the applications of 2.000
other orphan boys and girls, simply
because there was no room for them.
lick and Suffering Aided.
Large advance has been made in
the ministry of Southern Baptists to
the sick and suffering during the
four years of the Campaign. At the
time this movement was inaugurated
Southern Baptists were operating
twelve hospitals. The number now
in operation has grown to 22, nix
others are practically completed and
ready tor service, while two more
have ■ been projected. At the time
the Campaign began the value of
Southern Baptist hospital property
was 12,227,000, while today it has
grown to approximately $9,000,000
among t&e hpatituttonis already in op

beds has increased from 1.C23 to

During the four years of the Cam
