    3. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, March 29, 1913 DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR It is humiliating to go into a drug store and ask for a hair dye or stain or restorer, as it at once calls attention to a fact you want to conceal --- that your hair is turning gray. This simple recipe relieves you of all such humiliation and at the same time gives you a cheap and better hair darkener and scalp tonic than the store preparations. Procure from your druggist at little cost one ounce of bay rum, a quarter ounce of glycerine and a small box of Barbo Compound; then in your own home dissolve the Barbo Compound in 7 ounces of water and add the other two ingredients and you will have a most effective hair darkener as well as a good remedy for dandruff and other scalp humors. It not only browns the gray hair, but acts as a tonic to the scalp, makes the hair soft and glossy and is not sticky like many store preparations. It is to be applied once a week until the hair is darkened, then every two weeks. Be sure your druggist gives you Barbo Compound --- no other ingredient will take its place. ======================================================
