LAD|ES! SECRET TO
 OARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring back color, gloss and thickness with Grandma's recipe of Sage
 and Sulphur.

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea, with sulphur and alco hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and iuxuriant; remove every bit of dand- ruff. stop scalp itching and falling hair Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home. though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding Q lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we alls desire to retain cur youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so nat urally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disap- peared After another application or two Your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger

 BEST SIGN
The Home Builders $70,000 Dividend for Which Checks to Stockholders fer this Quarter Are Be ing Made Out.

That Phoenix is growing faster than many of it's best wishers know is evidenced by the many houses being built in all parts of the city One of the most striking instances of it's growth IS seen in tne 18th quarterly statement of the Home Builders which is due the 20th of this month Divi- dend check for this quarter amount ing to $677I61 are now be- ing made out and with the payment of this amount it brings the total amount paid in dividends close to
 $70000O0 in the four and a half
 years of the Home Builders organiZa =. tion. This company has never missed
 paying it's regular quarterly dividends
 of s per cent per annum on it's book
 value of common stock and per
 cent per annum on it's preferred stock
 Another statement that shows the eX-
 cellent management of this company
 is it's surplus of $6f, f,113.47 and assets
 of $557,195GO The above assets arc titles to choice property in the best residence sections of Phoenix and are values that are increasing as the city grows. The growth and showing of
 this organization is creditable alike to Phoenix, the directors of the Home Builders and the Greene & Griffin Co. Over 40 states and 200 hundred
 cities are represented in it's list of
 stockholders as well as a number of foreign stockholders. These regular dividend checks sent to so many parts of the country are the best advertising that Phoenix can possibly get and the steady growth of this organization shows that this is ap- 1 preciated Every month shows q sub
 stantial increase in the value of it's 1 securities and in the number of stock | holders and it is the confident pre- l diction of it's managers that the mil 1 lion mark will be reached inside the next few years. What this means for i the future of Phoenix can best be
 seen by the blocks of beautiful homes already built by this successful or ganization.

R. P. Greene Returns From Extended Coast Tour En- thuSiastic Over Road Sys- tenn of Golden State. Sees Good Times Ahead.

F. H. Green. president of Home Builders. returned the past week from an extended vacation on the coast, where he has been seeing much of the city and surrounding country via au- tomobile route having purchased a Ford and says No one who has not seen the country in that way has any conception of the wonderful roads and it is the one great asset inducing thousands Of people to spend their va cation there and enjoy outing"
 Speaking of financial conditions, he said: There seems to be a better feel ing and the people believe that the Europan war is going to add to the prosperity of this state in the turn of the tourists from Europe.
 The recent homeseeker excursion rates brought. it is said, 10000 peo- ple who had but one way tickets, and a large majority will become resi- dents of California, and we of Ari- zona should get some part of this business.
 Building operations are still going on greaetr than ever but it is con- l4nNU more lo ldTSt OIllCc bullu4ISsS and fine homes. The small house and medium priced bungalow in the past few years has been overdone, and there are a great many empty houses. but as this class of building is always desirable and the popula- ton increasing as never before, this condition will soon right itself. From the many inquiries concerning Phoe- nix and the favorable opinions eX- pressed by former visitors, MT. Greene is confident we will have d greater number of winter visitors than ever. The busy condition of the town on his, return made a very favorable impression and this was further strengthened by the number of drafts received from the east the past month desiring Home Builders stock or first mortgage eight per cent loans This is one of the best evidences that there is a return to near normal conditions. One reason that Phoenix did not suffer like Oth e. parts of the union at the outbreak of the European war was the fact that Phoenix for a growing town nas been very conservative.

NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT

Dick Erdmans Has Many Sales of
 Fine Property

There is no cause for complaint in the amount of business that is being done in the real estate office of Dick E,rdmans in the Board of Trade building. The month ,of October so far has been an exceedingly busy ore, and great activity has been shown in both city and valley pro perty as far as these operators are concerned
 During the past two weeks the firm has disposed of about $4O,000 worth among which are, as principal deals. the sale of a forty-acre ranch on the Maricopa road to Mrs. Emma Hopen for Edward Graham. C. L. Hatch, a new arrival in the valley, who is greatly impressed by the op- rortunities here, purchased a fine ranch in the Fowler district formerly owned by J. P. Allen.
 A handsomely located residence 1 property on Washington street near the state capitol has been sold to MT. and Mrs. L. NJ. McGin for a consideration in the neighborhood of two thousand dollars. and a contract i has been let to E. F. Mitchell to
 improve the building into a hand some home.
 1 George Crawford traded property
 that he has held in the valley for d five-acre tract formerly owned by Nellie H. Frisby The handsome lit

 farm areas are being rapidly dis

 manner which would indicate that
 the fall and winter sales will be all
 that could possibly be desired.

TT WEDDING of April which we
~ have been expecting for the
past few years is that of Margd
ret Bedell to Leland Beatty Mowry, IF
Massachusetts. When schoolgirl
visiting her aunt at the copper mines
in Tennessee during one of her va
cations she met Mr.. Mowry and they
have been devoted to each other ever
since. It was only because of her
youth that they have waited and now
they are as happy as larks that they
won't have to wait much longer. Mr..
Mowry is a graduate of Cornell and
is a mining expert, being still located
at Copper Hills, where he has built
the dearest little cottage for his pros
pective bride Together they have
bought all the furniture and it is
ready for occupancy at any time. They
will be married in the new home Of
the Bedells in Druid Hills and will
travel for two months before settling
down. The brides wedding gown, |
hear. is to be made as nearly like
her mothers as it is possible, with
the hustle effect of brocade satin. and
the same lace Is to be used. This is
rather a sweet sentiment, ! think. and
the present styles lend themselves
so readily to an adaptation of this
kind. Margaret hasn't decided on her
plans for her wedding. She will have
to tell me about them later on.
