HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darker Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew or Sage Tea and. Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on hat dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bottle
Of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
Tention of disease.-adv.

EXPLAINS CASE
TO COMMISSION
Makes Claim that Much In
surance was Written AT
ter Crop was Lost.

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 26.-Repre-
sentatives of the National Union Fire
Insurance Co. of P~ittsburg, Pa,
which has written in North Dakota
from its western headquarters at
900 worth of adrouth'' insurance, call
ed upon Insurance Commissioner "A.
S. Olsness yesterday and had a heart
to heart talk over difficulties they are
encountering in adjusting F1ickertail
losses.
Risks, they declare, were written by
their agents as late. as the middle OF
July, when crops already were gone.
They find hundreds of thousands of
books. In a majority of instances,
they claim. the farmer. when the stu
alton is explained to him recognizes
the unreasonableness by asking the
company to buy at 81 the acre a crop
which had persisted before ne took
out his insurance, and is willing to
accept what he has paid in premiums
and return his policy.
Reports coming to the office Of the
insurance commissioner were to the
effect that the drouth insurance COM
panies were repudiating just claims.
This, agents of the National Union
declare, is not a fact. They are en-
d%eavoring to get out from under a
load Of bad business which they claim
their agents never should have writ
ten. The company admitted gross
neglect, it is said, on the part of its
western headquarters in not paying
closer attention to the mass of corre-
spondence on this subject. but sug-
gested in explanation that the office
probably was swamped.
Drouth insurance is a new thing in
North Dakota. The companies writ
ing it make an attempt to insure the
actual investment in crop up to 81
the acre, and their policies cover loss
es from any number of causes. includ-
ing hail and rust. Agents anxious for
business or misunderstanding their
business, it is claimed, wrote policies
long after it had become an estab-
lished fact that crops in their vicinity
were almost a complete loss. The
farmer, naturally, was glad to get this
protection. and it is now difficult for
the insurance companies, after &C
cepting the farmers money and is
suing the policy to convince the poll
sided and unfair.
The Bankers Insurance Co. of
Montana is most heavily hit by this
business. 1t wrote more than $2.S50,-
900 insurance and collected s2S5,000
in premiums. It operated in a sec
ton of the state particularly hard hit
by drouth, and if it paid every loss
claimed it would be strictly up
against it."
But the companies and the farm
ers are getting together, the former
contend, and all they ask of the state
insurance department is an under

Farmers are urged to ship their

tee on "a service, believes that no
advantage can be derived from hold
ing such grains in farm elevators.
The roads can promptly handle
wheat to storage centers now and
such movement will facilitate the
manufacture of flour for domestic
consumption and for export to our
allies. That is why the railways are
appealing to farmers for quick action.
Later, when many more products

The carriers are now being oper-
