HAIR COLOR
 RESTORER La Creole Darkens Gray Hair in a Few Days-Try at Risk of Your Local Druggist

No matter whether you are bothered with gray, streaked with gray, iron gray, or prematurely gray hair, falling hair, dry, dull and brittle hair, oily, greasy, stringy hair, dandruff or itching scalp, any druggist invites you to try La Creole Hair Dressing at their risk. If 1t suc- ceeds in darkening your gray hair. or making hair grow again, the cost Is trifling, and should it fail 1t costs noth- ing. If your gray or falling hair is worth saving. La Creole Is worth trying. La Creole is harmless-no dye. but has the wonderful effect of restoring the color glands to activity, so all your gray hair is naturally restored to that even dark, fascinating tone you used to have. Be- sides La Creole stops dandruff and fall ing hair and causes thin hair to grow thick and new hair to sprout all over your head, making entire head of hair soft, fluffy, long, thick, evenly dark and snappy with new life.

VOCATIONAL LEDUCATION
COL oRADo TO GET $4,000
THROUGH NEW LAW.
State Must Raise Dollar for Dollar to
Get Sum From Federal Appro-
priation.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The state of Colorado will
receive from the federal government
$4,000 as its share of the funds pro-
vided by the vocational educational
act. This is the first appropriation
under the Smith-Hughes act, recently
passed by Congress, and it is for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1917.
1t is stipulated that the sum be
diveded into three equal parts. the
first to pay salary of teachers, super
visors or directors of agricultural sub
jects; the second to pay salaries of
teachers of trade, home economics
and industrial subjects, and the third
to prepare teachers in both of these
classes.
The state must raise dollar for dol
lar to get the benefit of the federal
fund. This will make an expenditure
of $4,000 that is to be used in voca-
tional education, which thinkers have
been boosting for years as a means of
developing national efficiency
The amount of the appropriation
will increase in rapid progression un-
til 1925 when it will amount to ST.
100000 for the entire country and will
become staple at the amount. The
distribution is based on the proportion
of the rural and urban population of
each state compared with that of the
whole country.
