Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings the natural color and lus-
tre 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,
by asking at any drug store for "Ny-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound -
you will get large bottle OF tins

it is generally conceded that the crop
has been more wholly ginned than
the average, and therefore the census
bureaus report was regarded as con-
firmatory of the governments esti-
mate of a yield of II, 900 bales. 1t
is to be noted that the quantity Or
cotton ginned for the last prior was
only $4,000 bales against 3S9,OOO
bales during the corresponding period
of 1910, the year with which compari-
sons this season have been most
generally made. In that year gin
nings after January / totalled 4S3,S19
bales, so that, if the parallel is car
ried out to the end of this season,
the final crop will not exceed 11,127,-
600 bales exclusive of linters. To-
ward the end of the week the census
bureau issued another report which
placed the amount of cotton consum-
ed in the United States during De-
cember at 554,725 bales. Never be-
fore have American cotton mills con-
sumed this amount of cotton in a
single month. In December last year
the consumption was 45O,S69 bales,
and for the corresponding month in
1912, 456,262 bales. The total con-
sumption since the beginning of the
new crop year, August /, is about
10 per cent greater than the cores
ponding period last year. Every
month of the new crop year has
shown an increase over the previous
month, everything pointing, as has
been repeatedly suggested in these
adyices, to record-breaking consump-
tion by American mills for the cur
rent year. The overshadowing factor
at the moment, however, is the export

situation. UnQuestionably Europe
needs our cotton and needs it badly,
but the problem is how to get it, Re-
cent adviCes are TO the effect that
tramp steamers engaged in the South
American trade will be diverted to the
gulf ports to take cotton cargoes,
for it is realized that at the pres
ent sensationally high level for cot
ton freight there is a great induce
ment to owners of steamships to turn
their attention exclusively to this
trade. Signs of a revival of the eX-
port movement were apparent during
the week, shipments for one day ap-
proXimating $1,000 bales, the largest
for a single day in long time past.
It was currently reported that book
ings for January-February shipments
total upwards of 35O,OOO bales, and
freight room for this amount was said
to have been engaged weeks ago,
before rates had advanced to the
present nigh level. Cotton is going
out by way of New York because
more space is available here than in
the south As before stated, the for
eign need for our cotton is great and
there is no question but that way
will be found sooner or later to ef-
feet shipments. When the export
situation clears, as it is reasonable to
suppose that it must, such improve
ment ought to, and no doubt will, be
reelected in an enhancement of values
