FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every
body is using old-time recipe Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre or
when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands 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 mixture
improved by the addition of other in
gradients by asking at any drug store
for bottle of ''Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair
| taking one small strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives il
an appearance of abundance.
| Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair. 1t is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention of disease.

HOLLAND is RICH,
BUT NOT IN GOODS
Her Belligerent Neighbors Are Sending
in Money and Taking Out the
Products in Return

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct. %.
The position of Holland is beginning
to show an uncomfortable resemblance
to that of Midas. at whose touch every
thing turned into gold. Instead of the
urgently needed goods, more and more
gold, not to mention 5000, 900, 900 worth
of credit paper, has been sent to Hol-
land by her belligerent neighbors.
This is far more than she can employ,
with the result that the gold stocks Of
the Netherlands bank have quadruped
since the outbreak of war, amounting
now to some $3.50, 100000 This means
that the central bank directly callable
liabilities, in the form of bank notes
and current account balances, are
backed by gold to the extent of Il per
cent, which compares with only Il per
cent III Germany.
But of what use are our big gold re-
serves" Hollandefs are beginning to
ask, eff our productive capacity is
being more and more reduced, ever
more businesses are being brought to
entire or partial standstill for lack Of
| raw materials or coal, workmen dis
missed, the supply of foodstuffs cut off,
and our colonies, one of the nation s
mainstays, likewise hard pressed by the
prevailing circumstances?
| If he need further evidence that the
world has turned upside down, the Hol-
lander may find it in the curious fact
that his normally much-coveted gold is
| declined with thanks in Sweden, whole
| gold exports to Spain are impossible on
| sccount of obstacles in the way of
| shipment. The unpleasant result is that
the Swedish exchange has risen Hol-
land IS exports thither are too small to
balance her imports from Sweden Moth
ing would appear more logical than to
pay in gold for the excess imports, but
the Swedish bank refuses to accept it.
From practically the commencement
Of the war the Swedish government has
taken the standpoint that it wants
goods paid for in goods. the population
needing foodstuffs and other necessities
rather than gold Hollanders are begin
ming to keenly feel the strange limita-
tion which has been placed in the pow
ers of gold.
Holland S national debt, which stood
at S440,000,000 before the war, has
nearly doubled in the past three years
The added burden amounts to date to
1926 100000. 1t is expected to 90 Oh
mounting so long as the war continues
and an army of some quarter of mil
lion has to be kept on a war footing as
well as big sums spent on the provision
of cheap food and other necessities fol
the people.
