LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandmas Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody viii Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates hack to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took Ga
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle Of
'TWyeth's Sage and sulphur Com

recipe, which can be depended upon to

the hair and is splendid for dandrutf,
dry, fever.sh, itchy scalp AMI falling
hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two 1t becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.

Steel and Wire Company, at Pittsburg,
says that most Of the barbed wire is
being shipped through Canada, but
large shipments evidently have been
made direct tc France. There is. so
little home demand for barbed wire
that prices have not been advanced in
domestic quotations.
Exports from New York last week
amounted to $21, 410,546. This was an
increase of 1855, 1892 over the values
of exports for the week preceding.
The average daily exports for six days
last week was $3,568,424.

GERMANY BUYS HEAVILY
OF AMERICAN COTTON
Orders for Hundreds of Thousands OF
Dollars Worth of Staple Placed
in New York Market

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-It was report
ed here today that representative of
the German government and of bank
ing interests, acting indirectly for it,
had been large buyers today of Amer
lean cotton in this market, and that
shipments amounting to several hun
dred thousand dollars would leave a
Southern port tomorrow.
The report followed recent an
nouncement from Washington that the
British government would not regard
cotton as contraband of war.
Bankers who are said to have charge
of the transaction declined today to
discuss the report 1t was said, how
ever, that the shipment would be sent,
as several other shipments said to be
arranged for during the last few days
will be sent by vessels clearing for
Italian ports.
A representative of interests acting
for the French government IS in the
market for 100000 pairs of army
boots.
Some of the agents handling this war
business have coined money since the
war began. One commission man is
reported to have cleared 100000 in
commissions in few weeks. Others,
with larger capital, have probably
made great deal more. In the case
of the French purchases some of the
orders are being executed in this mar
ket by agents sent here by Bordeaux
merchants.

MOTOR and ARMS CONCERNS
Receive LARGE WAR ORDERS
Trucks and RevOIvers Made in United
States Play Part in European
Conflict.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 30.-At
least three large Springfield concerns
are getting business because of the
European war. The Knox Motors Co.,
the Hendee Manufacturing Co., and the
Smith & Wesson Co., manufacturers
of revolvers, are working full shifts
to complete orders for foreign govern
ments engaged in the present con-
fiict.
Recently it became known that the
German government placed a large
order with the Knox Motors Company
for motor trucks. The Knox truck is
particularly adaptable to rough roads.
How large an order and when it would
attempt to deliver the company does
not say.
When the Canadian government ze-
gan to muster its forces the Hendee
company, makers of Indian motorcy-
cles, received an order for 500 of its
stock two-cylinder machines. This was
of course, more than the Canadian
branch Of the concern could handle
alone, and so the order was placed in
Springfield.
Smith & Wesson revolvers are also
finding their way to Europe, although
where they are going and how they are
being shipped has so far been success
fully covered up. The English govern
ment has in the past favored the
Springfield gun, while sales have been
made in Fdance also.

Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy.
lustrous and absolutely free from
dandruff Is not 30 much a gift of
nature as a matter of care and
proper nourishment. Hair is like
a plant-it will not grow healthy
and beautiful unless 1t has atten-
tion and proper nutriment.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfum-
ed and easily applied. tones up
and fnvigorates the roots of the
hair. and furnishes the necessary
nourishment to not only save and
beautify the hair. but also slim
ulate IL to grow long, heavy, soft,
fluffy and radiant with life.
When used frequently and rub
bed into the scalp, Il will simply
work wonders. Just one applica-
ton stops itching head, removes
dandruff and cIeanses the hair of
all dust and excessive oil.
Since Partisan Sage, which can
be obtained from Crown Drug Co.,
or at any drug store, never disap-
points, it is no longer necessary
for any woman to be Inundated
because of thin. streaky. faded
lifeless or unattractive hair.

BIZ MAX NORDAU.
(FamOus German Author and
Satirist).


The American woman lacks
culture because the American
man has none and does not ask
IL of his companion in life. The
only thing he desires her to be Isl
beautiful and elegant. She must
be admired in order that he
should be envied. She must be
one of the queens of the smart
set. He wishes to read her name
each time he opens a paper at
the page fashionable Echoes"
For this satisfaction he is ever
ready to pay at their full value
and even beyond.
The misfortune of the Ameri-
can woman is that she has no
ideal, the only aim and ambition
of her life being to see how far
she can surpass her rivals, aim
ing ever to have the richest and
largest pearl necklace, the hand
soonest diamonds, the most cost
ly sable furs, stockings sewn with,
jewels, even teeth studded with
precious stones.
Such are her thoughts, such
are her inventions. The strong
est emotion, and maybe the only
one she feels, is love of her own
self.
But who would be so unjust as
to blame her for this choice?
Excessive love of self has been
systematically cultivated in her.
The American man has raised her
to the rank of his mistress anG
absolute Sovereign, I'm whose SER
vice he wears himself out sub
missively and joyously.
He has built temples for her
and placed her, like a diety, upon
a pedestal.
One would have to be a god
indeed to be able to bear such
genuflections and idolatry with
out being puffed Up with mon
strous egotism.
Woman is but a poor mortal
and she is paying the price of her
deification. Her feelings are
blunted and her soul impoverish-
ed while her Jewel box is enrich
