AN OLD
RECIPE TO
DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded OR Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
iusrre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home. which is mussy
and Troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Ev-
erybody uses this old, famous recipe,
because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look wears younger

Ticket Selling Talks for April" the
monthly bulletin issued by J. NJ. Con-
nell, general passenger agent of the
Santa Fe, will contain the following
summary of the railway side of the
situation:
1T is obvious that as the cost of
service increases and the pay for same
decreases, there will be a meeting
point in the not far distant future
which will mean bankruptcy for the
carriers. Unfortunately, this point al
ready has been reached by some of
the lines in the middle west and is
threatening others.
1.-The remedy is apparent. Either
the cost of service must be greatly
and permanently reduced, or the com
pensation correspondence increased.
But the cost of both labor and ma
terial is largely regulated by supply
and demand. Hence there is but one
an advance in transportation
charges commensurate with the value
of the service performed; not a mea-
ger allowance sufficient for the i'm
mediate needs of the carriers but an
advance sufficient to permit them to

PURCELL AND FIRST SCHOOL.
Santa Fe Official Established Appren
tice School at Argentine.

The meeting of the Santa Fe APP
prentice instructors from all over the
system adjourned this afternoon after
successful session The men
talked shop all day today and lis
tened to some more remarks by in
structors and experts in mechanical
and shop matters.
The real founder of the railway ap-
prentice system was G. NJ. Basford of
New York City, formerly vice presi-
dent of the American Locomotive
company. Basford at one time edited
an engineering magazine and in that
publication urged that such a system
be established.
The first person to actively take an
interest in apprenticeship on the
Santa Fe was John Purcell, formerly
superintendent of the Topeka shops
and now in charge of mechanical mat
ters as assistant to Vice President
Storey. When Purcell was master me-
chanic at Argentine, Kan, he estab
lished the first school and it has been
stated by people in a position to know
that he paid the expenses at first out
of his own pocket.
kilograms were sent to both of
these men from the instructors, pre-
senting them their greetings. Follow
ing is the telegram sent to Mr.. Bas-
ford:
THE forty-seven apprentice in
structors of the Santa Fe system. as
Sembled in annual convention, in ap
probation of your efforts in awaken
ing the railroads to the necessity of
making mechanics and especially in
appreciation of your inspiring address
to us two years ago, send you greet
ings and best wishes for your health
and happiness"
Mr.. Basford's reply to F. w. Thorn
as, supervisor of apprentices, and the
instructors, follows:
Your message most keen1y appre-
ciated. Please thank the Santa Fe
instructors. Tell them they are doing
the MODEST work in the world and that
it is up to them to put this work in
such good order that it must neces-
sarily live and grow after their days
work is DONE
The telegram sent to Mr.. Purcell at
Chicago:
The apprentice instructors of the
Santa Fe system, in appreciation of
your interest in the apprentice boys
and particularly the important sup
ucation when you first started your
night class, knowing that this small
movement was the germ from which
the present advanced system has been
developed, unanimously send you
greetings and best wishes
John PurcelrS reply, sent to Mr..
Thomas, is as follows:
Am just in receipt of telegram
signed Santa Fe apprentice instruct
ors, sending me greetings and best
wishes. l wish to thank you and
through you, all of the instructors for
same. 1t is a great deal of satisfac-
ton and comfort to know that my eff
forts have been appreciated and are
bearing fruit. My hope is that 1 will
see the day when all the important po-
sitions on the Santa Fe will be filled
by young men graduated from our ap-
prentice schools and I know this can
be accomplished through the efforts
of our school instructors"
