Salt

Salt production is about .he oldest
industry in the world. III Italy. the
cradle of the salt industry. it has been
manufactured commercially for 2.5oC
years. Salt is so necessary to ex-
istence that in some parts of the world
tribes will sell the members of their
families In exchange for salt. Salt has
been the cause Of wars. and so i'm
portant has 1t always been considered
that In some places the passing of
salt is established as a token of friend
ship. and women throw salt on a Wis
itor as a friendly greeting In some
countries salt is so scarce that 1t is
obtained through the ashes of grasses
and a species Of palm and other plants,
While salt is produced in almost every

nowhere can salt Of such purity be
obtained at anything like the cost for

GOVERNORS GATHER IN
THEIR ANNUAL SESSION
GOVERNOR NORRIS OF MONTANA
SPEAKS ON POWER OF THE
EXECUTIVE.
Declares No Useful Purpose Can he
Served in Having Unlimited
Observation-Disclosures
Legislation.
Associated Press Special.

Spring Lake, n. j., Sept. Ia
Two methods in which the powers
of state executives throughout the
Union ought to be strengthened, in
the opinion of Governor Edwin l.
Norris of Montana, We're discussed
by him before the Conference OF
Governors here today.
The first vital step to be taken,
Governor Norris believes, is to be
stow upon the Governors the power
to remove inefficient state officers
charged with the enforcement of the
criminal and remedial laws. The
second is to grant the Governor the
right to initiate and refer legislation
to the voters for their approval or
heiection.
Governor Norris addressed himself
TO Strengthening the Power of the
Executive" In part, he said

to their question. 1t is significant

by peace and prosecuting officers
1t is upon them that the necessary
authority is conferred and upon
them the direct responsibility rests
When they, for any reason, fail to
perform their duties the laws are
not faithfully executed. If the
Governor is to see that the laws are
faithfully executed, he should have
authority TO direct, supervise, and
in case of wanton failure on their
part to discharge a duty, to remove
them from office.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS

A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery OF the first gray hairs, which,
unfortunately, are looked upon as heralds
Of advancing age. Gray hairs, however,
are not always an indication of advanc-
ing age. for many people have gray hairs
quite early in life. OF course, it is I'M
natural, and indicates that there is some
thing wrong with the individual, and that
Nature needs assistance in correcting the
trouble. The same is true of hair that
is constantly falling out and becoming
thinner every day. II everything is right
with Nature, the hair, even in compare
lively elderly people. should be long.
thick and glossy, without even a streak
OF gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in re-
storing and preserving the hair is Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. a
clean and wholesome dressing for daily
use. 1t not only removes dandruff, but
strengthens weak, thin and falling hair
and promotes its growth. A few appi-
cations will restore faded or gray hair
to its natural color.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.
