few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
DRUGGIST SAYS LADIES ARE US
ING RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when It fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack Of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture OF Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands OF women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which Is so attractive. use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell 1t has
been applied. Besides, 1t takes off
jandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You Just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what ue-
lights the ladies with wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after a few
applications, It also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives It an ap-
pearance OF abundance.

MUNICIPAL PLANT CAN
FURNISH CHEAP LIGHT
BAKER FIGURES SHOW LOW COST
OF PROPOSED LIGHT
ING PLANT.

BAKER, Ore, Nov 25.-An am
ended report by Engineer stockman
to the city commissioners was pre-
sented showing that lights can be
manufactured by the city at a cost
Of 3.37 cents per kilowatt hour in
stead of 475 cents as first estimated.
The cost OF the total system remains
at 31SO,540.12 but OF this amount
}S2,76412 Is charged TO the water
department for the additional water
supply which the proposed lighting
plant would furnish the city. On this
basis II is estimated that the $4,000
kllowatt hours will cost the city SAL
S1s.64 year. including all cost Of op-
Grating. sinking and, interest on
bonds, etc. The report was figured
on the flow OF water in 1s09-1910, the
lowest water Baker has experienced
in the last decade. Commissioner
