LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea sand Sui

Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded gray hair to its nat
ural color, dates back to grandmOth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful #
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy AMI
out-of-date. Nowadays, By asking at
any drug store for a 5o-ceut bottle of

cipe, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty 10
the hair and is splendid for dandrufi,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and 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 n
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning ;he
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and

Echo Of Wood Report,

Under an Oklahoma City date line
the oil and Gas Journal published at
Tulsa carries criticism of H. L. Wood
and of his report on the Healdton
field. As far as we know at this time
there is not an oil correspondent in
Oklahoma City so the article has the
appearance of having been writ
ten in the office of the Journal Mr..
Wood claims to the representative of
the Fuel Oil Journal at Houston and
of Oil and Gas of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Which one of these publications IS
supposed TO be controlled by the Mag
nolia people, the writer does not state.
The Ardmoreite published last Sunday
the Woods report on the Healdton
field and criticism of the report
will be read with interest. The artl-
Gle referred to which appeared in the
Journal, is published here
"Oklahoma City, Okla, March IL
Acting on the recommendation of A.
E. Watts and c. ]. Wrightsman, the
state corporation commission of Ok
lahoma appointed II. L. Woods as
expert to determine the value and
specific gravity of the oil produced
in the Healdton pool. Mr.. Woods

at may be remarked in passing
that Mr. Woods report has provoked
the ire of all of the parties to the con
troversy over the price which should
be paid for Healdton oil. The pro
ducers are sore and Mr.. Wrightsman
does not hesitate to express his in
dignation. The pipeline company,
naturally resents the insinuations in
the report, because Mr.. Wood, some
times called Colonel" Wood is the
Oklahoma representative of the one
publication which is supposed to
speak authoritatively for the Magno-
liza Petroleum Co. The corporation
commission is incdnsed, in that it
has been buncoed into engaging the
services of an alleged expert on oil

sists in emitting from time to time, a

If the corporation commission real
ly desired to perform a service to the
oil industry of this state which has
already suffered much from ignorance
and misunderstanding of conditions,
it should have investigated the quail

the appointment was made, and it
should have investigated the right of
Mr.. Watts and Mr.. Wrightsman to
speak for the producers of oil and
gas in the Healdton district. Appar-
emily. the commission is laboring un-
der the delusion that Colonel Wood
represents the producers, and the
sooner it disabuses its mind of this be-

Must Handle their Own Oil.

The move of the Prairie Oil & Gas
Co., to turn back the production of
the Gypsy and Producers oil COM
panies, meets with the popular ap-
proval of all oil men in the Mid-COn-
tinent field. These two companies
have pipe line connections and it is
no more than fair that they be re-
quired to care for their own produc-
ton. The combined production of the
two companies, run to the Prairie, out
side of Cleveland, was about 1iOO0
bbls. a day. By turning this oil back
to the Gypsy and Producers, it will
provide that much more room for the
oil of the independent producers and
also prove false the oft-repeated con-
tention that all of the pipe line COM
panies are controlled by the same in
terests. The order went into effect
in the Cushing field Sunday, March
-, and will go into effect at all other
points, except Cleveland, March 10.
At Cleveland, neither the Gypsy nor
the Producers has pipe line facilities,
and the Prairie will continue to run
their oil at this point for the present.

Some Interesting Points ON the Operation of The

subtreasuries which will Justify in large their
continuance Furthermore, the treasury Washington
will presumably continue 70 be the custodian of the re-
dcmpon fund mot less than per cent? to be held against
pository of the per cent fund held against the redemp.
of the national bank Neither these funds
may be deposited with banks.
The government is moreover the trustee of various
special funds, which distributed among the subtreas-
iiries mins and ASSAY offices ON March II 1911 they
consisted of $1139 6269G9 gold and bullion $l31S5-
GOO standard silver dollars, and $251OOOO silver dollars of
$780, held respectively in behalf OF holders of like amounts
gold certificates, silver certificates, and treasury notes
of 1890, There also the $l50oOOoOO gold reserve
maintained for the redemption of the $3iG6SOl6 United

viii devoye upon the Treasury Washington under
the system at present to make the necessary
changes in the amounts of these various reserve and re-
demption funds occasion may arise. For example,
when the supply of gold certificates in the general treas
ury balance runs low, new certificates are issued and
corresponding amount of gold coin or bullion Is taken
the general fund ana placed in the redemption fund
back of these certificates. Conversely when the amount
of gold con in the general treasury balance runs low the
required amount OF Eod cerulhcates Is taken from hs
treasury balance, Cancelled and replaced by the equal
amount of gold thus released from the redemption fund
facilitate the process of redemption wheth
of paper the various kinds OF
bank notes provided for in the new act some part OF the
treasury balance will be kept in the vaults
of the treasury system to clearing fund is
the case at present AS matter of convenience the re-
dempon of currency the exchange of cur
for coin bullion is effected by payment out
of the treasury balance.
That the federal reserve act did not contemplate the
abolition Of the independent treasury is evident from the
