An audience that is able to" with

Vour.g ters, capable of meeting im
possible situations and at the same

make this assertion in view of the

those twro juveniles of cartoon fame,
who at last have reached the stage.
Based on the popular cartoons of R.
Dirks, who gave the Avorld and st the
universe a-laughing with the antics of
the Katzen jammer kids. Manager
'Gus Hill has evolved a clever and
mirth compelling musical comedy in
three acts, which is to be thg next at

though, is troublesome. An easier way is

darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because 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,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
