THAT it costs from two to five times
as much to maintain an American SOL
der in time of peace as it does to main
tain a soldier of any European country,
is the statement of Secretary of War
Stimson in his annual report recently
submitted to congress. The statement
is more startling from the fact that the
secretary declares that he has deducted
the difference in the cost of living from
this estimate. In other words he al
lows for the greater cost of living in
this country and then finds that the
United States is wasting from one to
four hundred per cent of its expendi-
lures on army maintenance. The chief
cause ascribed to this is the scattering
of the army all over the country in de-
tached military posts which are bene-
fit to the immediate communities in
which they are located, but positive
detriment to efficiency and rapid mob
ilization.

GRANDMOTHERS
 USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re store Gray and Faded Hair
 to Its Natural Color

It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it. al though it is possible to do both. Our grandmOthers understood the Secret. They made a sage tea" and their dark. glossy hair, long after middle life, was due to this fact Our moth CTS have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning 10 appre- ciate the wisdom of our grandmoth- CTS in using sage tea" for their hair, and are fast following suit
 The present generation has the ad- vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly su peFior to the sage tea" made by our grandmothers
 The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hairs Remedy quickly kills the dan druff germs which rob the hair of it's life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes it grow.

It passes through Tucson, Benson, Casa Grande Wilcox, Bowie and San Simon, cross ing the line into New Mexico. 1t passes through Yuma, Pinal, Pima, Maricopa and Cochise counties. The Atlantic and Pacific Santa Eel was built across the central portion of Arizona in 1883.
