Using the same example, 

sysuse citytemp, clear
distplot tempjan tempjuly, lc(blue navy) 

gets you there pretty directly. There is no need to restructure the data
or to figure out the basic graphics. 

You do need to install -distplot-, which is user-written: 

SJ-5-3  gr41_3  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Software update for
distplot
        (help distplot if installed)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  N.

        simplified syntax; both by() and over() are now allowed

There are broader discussions, all freely accessible, at 

SJ-4-1  gr0003  . . . . . . . . . . . . Speaking Stata: Graphing
distributions
        . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  N.

        Q1/04   SJ 4(1):66--88                                   (no
commands)
        a review of official and user-written commands for
        graphing univariate distributions; includes tricks

        plots the cumulative distribution function or survival function
        and allows multiple variables

Starting from Jeetendra's starting point, something like 

distplot yield, over(caste) 

seems indicated.
