COMB SAGE Tea in
LTFELESS, GRAY HAIR
Look Youngl Common Garden Sage
and Sulphur Darkens so Naturally
Nobody Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti.
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. BY asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth s Sage and Sui.
phur Hair hemedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old.time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth IS Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush and draw it through your
hair taking one strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-.
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy soft and abundant.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Southern Rice Growers Association
Establish FaIsity of Reports Con
corning Foreign Rice and Fix
the Minimum Price at $500

BY a unanimous vote the board of
Directors of the Southern Rice Grow.
erS Association at a meeting held in
Beaumont last week fixed the mini.
mum selling price for Honduras rice
No. |, at $500 per barrel; No. 2, $685.
per barrel; No. 3, 1870 per barrel; No.
4, $3.50 per barrel.
These prices are fixed after very
careful estimate of the conditions as
they actually exist und are based upon
what is considered perfectly sound
and rea Sonable basis.
There has been an effort WithiR the
last week or two to shock the market
which seems to have originated in
New Orleans.
The report was started and given
wide and rapid circulation throughout
the rice belt that Indian riCeS milled
in England and Siam rices milled in
Rangoon are now or soon will be
available at prices lower than the
market price in this country before
advance caused by the European war
AS a consequence of these widely
circulated reports the trade has taken
some alarm and buying has been some
what retarded.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1914-09-18
NUMBER q

AS matter of fact these reports are
absolutely without foundation in truth.
AS soon as the report reached the
headquarters of the Southern Rice
Growers ASSoCia ton the management
promptly set about to establish the alb.
surdity of such a condition of facts.
we are reproducing in another column
in this issue of the Journal the cor.
respondence which took place between
the Southern Rice Growers AsSoci-
alton and one of the largest rice
factors in England. This CORES.
pondenCe clearly demonstrates the
falsitv Of the reports which have been
circulated.
The reports were circulated with the
evident purpose of creating a panic
among the rice farmers in order that
the crop might be rushed on the
market and purchased at greatly re.
duced prices. Fortunately however
the panic has not materialized and the
farmers as a rule are holding the rice
off the market.
There appears to be absolutely no
cause for alarm. On account of the
Europeon war conditions it will be
wholly impossible for imported rice to
enter into competition with rice from
this country.
All that is needed is simply for the
farmers to stand for the association
price which is fair and equitable.

Concerning Foreign Rice.

side, London, for export to the Uuited
States, at prices ranging from over
Sl.OO per'l0O pounds to nearly $500 per
100 pounds, according to quality, above
the prices recently quoted for foreign
rice in this country. 1t was because of
the low prices for foreign rice quoted
and sent broadcast over the country
that the domestic clean market fell off
more than a cent a pound and the
rough market decIined;$1.25 a barrel.
On Monday the Southern Rice Grow.
erS' Association cabled leading London
brokers as follows: Kindly cable

make on cleaned Siam rice; also whether

Trade:
Shipments allowed to States. Slams
at fifteen ShillingS sixpence to eighteen
shillings sixpence, according to quality,
free alongside ship London. Large
quantities are available for present
shipments onward, subject to freight. "
The prices quoted by Jackson & Co.
are equivalent to 1892 to $46S per 100
pounds laid down at shipside. To these
prices must be added freight, insurance
and exchange charges, ard American
duty. Freight in times of peace was
never less than twelve cents, and in
SuTanCe and exchange are very high,
so that those rices cannot be laid down
in New York, cost including freight,
insurance, exchange and duty, for less
than $5.25 to $500 per 100 pounds, or
1.4c to &c per pound, according to

Acting on the judgment and advice Of
the Federal and Country agricultural
officers and supervisors along the lines
of the Sunset Central, the Industrial

cattle prize competitor, announced to
the farmers some months since, into

HIM. Mayo, head of the in department
states that the determination to offer
the bIooded stock as prizes for cotton
and corn production, was unfortunately
delayed until the farmers had made
their plans and had, in the majority OF
instances. planted their crops. This
prevented the growers from entering
the contest and seri0uly initiated
against the success of the project.
