GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur to
Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol add
cd, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, re-
move every bit of dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. Just few
applications will prove revelation if
your hair is fading, gray or dry, scrag-
gly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea
and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
tne ready-to-use tonic, costing about
so cents large bottle at drug stores,
known as 4" Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" thus avoiding lot
Of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth 5 Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because
it does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at time;
by morning all gray hairs nave disap-
peared, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

Journal VIII Publish
the Professors Lecture

Lime will sweeten the soil and will
help plant, but has no value as a
fertilizer, according to Prof. Florian
Won Eschen in his address last evening
before the Six O'Clock club Of the
Commercial club. II farmers would
plow under crop Of clover OF vetch
or beans, the value to the soil would
be greater than the value of the crop.
In answer to the question as to wheth-
er the Willamette valley was adapted
to the growing Of alfalfa, he stated
that this valley was all right, but that
the land must be wen drained. In
other words, alfalfa would not stand
wet feet
The lecture delivered last evening by
Prof. Won Eschen contained so many
statements regarding the soil Of Ore
gon, of real practical value, that IL will

SARGENT PROPOSES
CIVIL SERVICE FOR
BANK EXAMINERS
Banking Business Is Good and
Business Men Are Feeling
Optimistic

In the part of his annual report is
sued today relating to banking laws
State Bank superintendent S. G. Sar
gent states that the "Loan Shark
Law" is still far from practicable and
recommends that the regulation Of loan
offices be LETT to the municipalities
He further recommends that all state
bank examiners be placed under the
civil service regulations as he says that
once a man becomes thoroughly ac-
quainted with the duties of the posi-
tion he is a valuable adjunct to the
department and should not be turned
out with a change in political admins
tratiOn.
Mr. Sargent says that the duties and
responsibilities of the position of state
bank examiner are many and heavy
and that when a well qualified man is
in the position he should be kept there
as long as he is doing good work re-
gardless of his politics.
"The banking business of the state
in general, is entirely satisfactory, f"
says 4-r. Sargent in his report, "and
tne feeling of confidence and the pros
pect of the new year is most encourag-
ing. Business men generally are conf.
dent and even optimistic in their views
of the future and ] have every reason
to believe the coming year will prove
most satisfactory.
Six new state banks have been or
ganized and established with capital
of $l45,000 and one bank increased its
capital $1,000 while four banks reduced
their capital total of $4,000. The
report states that special commission
is working out Trust company act

miller TALK" ISSUED
AT AKRON Tire PLANT
Illustration of Efficiency Methods Seen
in New Periodical.

One OF the factors that has had much
to do with the remarkable efficiency of
automobile and tire factories is the
strictly modern spirit of cooperation be-
tween employer and employe. In no
other branch of industry is this spirit of
cooperation more marked. Departments
are maintained which are held RESPONSE
bic for the moral. physical and intellect
ual betterment of employees. This natur-
ally and inevitably results in better
products and more efficient handling of
tnem
In recent interview with the efficiency
department of the Miller Rubber Com
pany, Akron, Ohio, makers of Miller
that this company is among the fore
most in this work. "A few weeks ago
bulletins were circulated throughout the
NJ ler factory that an eight-page month
| ly paper was about to be issued" said
the bulletin. The efficiency department
was Immediately buried under the flood
of suggestions, which demonstrated the
Interest of the employees. After founder
ing for hours in the mass of names, all
of them showing originality and under
standing of the object, the judges finally
discarded all fanCifuL high-brow and
subtle suggestions and selected the plain
est and hOmeliest one of the lot. Miller
Talk 1t is. The first issue has been dis
tributed. 1t bubbles over with news,
jokes and quips. Every one of the 5000
who receive the paper have been ap-

Most Durable Fence Posts.

Red cedar has long been given first
place by American farmers as the best
wood for fence posts, and it will come
as a shock to many to have the Ohio
station tell US that 1t ranks only third
says the editor of Farm and Home The
Ohio doctors place Usage orange first
and black or yellow locust second. After
30 years use 9S per cent of the former
were sound, so per cent of locust and only
30 per cent of red cedar posts were in
good condition. Mulberry stands fourth,
followed by white cedar, catalpa, chest
nut, oak and black ash in the order
named.
A great many factors influence the
length of life of a post, principally size
soundness when cut, soil and moisture
conditions and rate of growth. Natur-
ally a post of large size will last longer
than a smaller one, for it takes longer
for decay to eat its way through. There
is no advantage in setting the small
end down unless it is sounder at the
top than at the bottom.
Thorough seasoning before setting adds
years to the life of a post Hewing
is better than saving because the ak
follows the grain, whereas the saw cuts
across the fibers and exposes more to
decay. Late fall or early winter is the
best time to cut trees for posts Split.
peel and pile openly, so they may dry
out before setting. 1t does no good to
char or tar a green post. as 1t may cause
it to rot more rapidly, but on the other
hand it is of much help in prolonging
| the life of a thoroughly seasoned post
to treat all that portion which is to go
underground.

which is the rarest," said Mr.. H. P.

We have experienced much satisfac-
ton, during the demonstration of the

expressions OF admiration elected by our
most recent purchasers. The general ap-
pearance of the machine Is one to at
tract immediate attention.
We are particularly pleased with the
graceful lines which have been given
the body. We feel confident that 1t will
occupy unique position among ma

FIRESTONE TIRE PLANT
UNDERGOES Big TEST
Akron Factory Demonstrates Fitness to
Meet Vast Demands.

The constructive and organizing genius
of Americas bigger business men is
standing the test of the tremendous in
crease Of business centered in America
during the disturbance in Europe.
As a case in point, the great Firestone
Tire & Rubber Company at Akron an
nounces an increase in volume OF busi-
ness. Before this increase the volume of
business of this company had reached
more than s25.OOO,O0O annually through
steady. persistent growth. The business
was established Is years ago. Five years
ago the company moved into a gigantic
new plant. In the five years since it's
annual sales have increased 2j7 per cent
In the face of an increase of So per cent
this year up to June they are still invit-
ing more business.
Back of this ability of the Firestone
company lies true organization ability. As
though sensing what was to come, Mr.
Firestone planned that new factory years
ago. Though the plant has been tripled
in size in five years. yet production. day
by day. has never seriously suffered.
If this country ever comes to the place
where gigantic organization power is
necessary to the life of the nation, as it
has been during these last few years to
some other countries. the ability of the
Firestones will count big.

Wherever possible, personal trips to the
factory to study manufacturing methods
are encouraged. Distributors frequently
arrange such trips for their dealers as a
reward of merit.
AS an outgrowth of this policy, IS deal
ers arrived in Detroit Monday to spend
a week in the center OF the motor car
industry. The visitors are subdealers OF
the Payne Motor Company of Des Moines,
Iowa, and were guests of c. w. Payne,
president of that company. The visitors
were the honor men of the Payne organ
