To Give Life and
Beauty to the Hair
(From London Hairdressers Review

'.More dull, brittle, faded and falling hair
results from too much washing the head than
from any other cause. If you want to see your
customers hair grow in beauty and color, and
brillance and luxuriance, stop drenching and
rinsing it and depend upon dry shampooing
"Dry shampooing once week will bring
about wonders. Hard and scaly scalps be-
come soft and pliable. Coarse, lifeless and
splitting hairs will take on new life, become
soft and glossy and the natural color will re-
turn.
''To make shampoo powder mix 4 ounces
of orris root with 4 ounces of therox. Sprinkle
a tablespoonful over the head and brush thor
oughly through the hair. Don't spare the
brushing. This treatment tones up the hair
from root to tip, removes dust, dandruf and
excess oil, leaves the scalp clean, cool and re-
freshed and the hair rich, soft and silky"

OLO-T|ME REMEDY
OARKENs THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustrc TO Faded
and Gray Hair-Dandruff
Quickly Removed

From time immemorial, sage and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. Almost everyone knows
of the value of such combination
for darkening the hair, for curing
dandruff and falling hair, and for
making the hair grow.
In olden times the only way to get
hair tonic of this sort avs to brew
it in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not always
satisfactory. Nowadays almost every
uD-to-date druggist can supply his
patrons with ready-to.use product
skillfully compounded in perfectly
equipped laboratories. The Wyeth
Chemical Company of New York put
up an ideal remedy Of this sort, called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, and authorize druggists to
sell it under guarantee that the
money viii be refunded if it fails TO
do exactly as represented.
If you have dandruff, or if your hair
is turning gray or coming out, don't
delay, but get bottle OF this remedy
today, and see what a few days treat
ment will do for YOU.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

Washington, Oct. 3l-Complete con
troll OF all the railroads OF the coun-
try by the interstate commerce com
mission, and virtual elimination OF
the state commissions from such con
troll is foreshadowed in an opinion
handed down Monday by the SUI
preme court OF the United States. The
court held that hereafter all locomo-
tives, cars. or other equipment used
on any railroad which is a highway
OF interstate commerce must comply
with tne federal safety appliance act.
In its opinion the court held that
compliance with federal Law is com
pulsory on all railroads which are en-
gagged in the transportation OF per-
sons or freight from one state TO an
other Elaborating thus, however, it
held that the cars or equipment OF
such roads. even If engaged in such
transportation within the confines OF
a state, must be considered AS part
and parcel OF the road and therefore
completely under the jurisdiction Of
the federal commission.
Interstate Body JubIant
Members OF the interstate com
merce commission, who have been
embarrassed on numerous occasions
BY clashes of authority with state
commissioners, are jubilant at the gu-
ing of the supreme court. which was
unanimous Referring 10 the court s

FOR THE CONTROL Of RAILROADS
United States Supreme Court Ruling Fore
shadows Elimination of State Commits
sions From Regulation

/ this point, again, to quote Commits
sioner Lane
Definite Ruling Expected
The supreme court could say, and
I believe ii Will say, eventually. that
an interstate carrier cannot be con.
troiled by state commission in any
way that would prefer intrastate
over interstate traffic In other words
the federal authority cannot permit
state to build a wall around its
borders that would aiford the people
within that wall a greater advantage
in commerce than is enjoyed by the
people of another state outside the
wall. We can not have separated
larticulated arteries Of commerce. We
must have a national system of rail
roads under national control and reg
lulation
Il believe that finally the govern
ment will determine as the govern
ment Of Canada, for instance deter
mines whether a proposed line of rail
road shall be constructed. The
building and operation OF new line
of railway may put out of business
another line that is equipped to sup
ply All tne neeus OF tne territory tray
ersed 1t is folly to construct the
new line because its operation means
simply a division OF the traffic be-
tween two lines. where one is amply
able to carry it, and that, in turn,
means an eventual boosting of the
rates so that both lines may live
This manifestly is disadvantage to
the shipper multiply of railways
in the small territory makes against
the interests Of the shipper.
Mr. Lane said he was gratihed that
the supreme court had rendered the
decision, because it made far better
safer and more economical operation
of the railway systems OF the country.
