SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of
dark, glossy hair, can only be had
by brewing mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Your hair is your
charm. It makes or mars the face.
When it fades, turns gray or streak
ed, just an application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enhances it's ap-
pearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; yo ucan get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients, at a small cost,
all ready for use. It is called Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
This can always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color and
lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur Compound now be-
cause it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair has disappeared,
and after another application it be-
comes beautifully dark and appears
glossy and lustrous. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite fo rthose who desire
dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation, or prevention Of
disease.-Adv.

BANK FOR NENANA
Williams To Start Insti- tuition Here With
 in Few Weeks

Nenana is to have bank. This is the pleasing announcement made bv J. C. Williams, until very recently special dis bursting agent of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission. with headquarters at Fairbanks. Mir Williams came 10 Ne mana early Tn the week for the purpose of consulting with the local merchants and others regarding the need ot bank here; and having found a strong senti- ment in favor of the establishment of such all institution, he has taken long term lease on quarters i'll the New York block, and will proceed immediately to make such other arrangements as may be necessary to insure the early opening of the new bank. Mir. Williams believes, however. that it will be impossible tobe- gin business before the middle of April.
 The bank, which is to be known as the Bank of Nenana, will be organized under the laws of Alaska, and will have a cap ltal stock of $25, GOO, large part of which will be supplied by Outside capitalists, K. (. Wood, president of the First Ma tional bank of Fairbanks, will be presi- dent of the new institution. and Mir. Will Hams will be cashier. The other officers have not yet been selected.
 Mir. Williams left for Fairbanks and the Outside yesterday to confer with his packers. and to arrange for financial con- nections in various parts of the country, and while in the states will attend also to the ordering of safety deposit boxes, tlx- lures for the bank, and steel door for the concrete vault which is to be built. When these matters are attended to he will be back in Nenana to get his new quarters ready for occupancy.
 Mir. Williams is an old-timer ill the banking business. and came to Alaska with the best ot recommendations from the various institutions with which he has been connected, and with numerous offers of financial support should he de- eide to engage in business here. The past several years were spent with the Riggs National bank of Washington, D. C., one of the best known concerns ill the country, and when Mir. Williams left that place to cone North he was looking for just such an opportunity as has pre- sented itself here ill Nenana.

ADVANCING PRICES
 FELT BY RAILROAD

The war, or something. has caused a tremendous advance in the cost of mater iai needed in railroad construction work, according to Thomas Riggs, IT,, whose plans for the year are somewhat upset by a curtailed allotment on the one hand and an advance in prices on the other.
 The increase in the cost of materials. since last years purchases were made, is 55H %, says Mir. Riggs. This means an advance of approximately S10 ton on rails and other similar material, or $500 per mile of railroad, figuring no tons of rails and 20 tons ot other material to the mile. -~" h."
 Except for the work being done by the contractors, there is practically nothing doing in this division in the line of con- struction work. Notwithstanding this fact, the December payroll amounted to S23, 993.23, which does not include the payments made Il contracts.

PROSPECTORSBUSY Oldtimer Reports Upper Nenana Scene Of
 Much Activity

"There is a lot of genuine prospecting ill progress this winter between Nenana and Broad Pass. and it need not surprise you to hear of placer strike of import ance being announced before the snow leaves the hills" Such is the statement of Red Rogers. well-known oldtimer, who returned during the week from a trip to the Nenana coal fields.
 Rogers found considerable activity on nearly all the streams visited by him, in- clud1ng Lignite. Moose and others. And he was informed that considerable pros pecting is ill progress above the canyon. He estimates that there are about twenty men prospecting between Nenana and the canyon. most of them being old-tin- CTS, and all bent on fuding the pay. There are probably as many more above the conyon.
 With that number of good men scat tered over the country Rogers believes something should be found. His trip has convinced hun, at any rate, that the streams back of Nenana are being subjec- ted to more seacrhing investigation than new creeks ill Alaska usually receive.
