AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie of this old time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and aft r another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease

fic, $46,679,422; miscellaneous opera
tons, $19,9O4,769; general expenses,
including administration, $61,996,42s.
All operating expenses totaled ST.
IA, 10000.
On the same basis, the years ex-
penses will approximate $2,346,066,-
900, leaving net revenue from opera
lions, $1,254 ,573,512. From the last
figure, however, must be deducted
the railroads annual tax bill, approx
imately $155,625,546, and bad debts
down on the books as uncollectable
revenues approximately $965,96s, a
total of $156,591,474.
About 230,500 miles of road were in
operation during the year. Returns
show that for every mile of road
operated in the country the railroads
$15,655 in gross receipts, and a net
income of $4774, or little more than
80 per cent of the gross.
Compared with previous earnings,
net income for 1916 shows an increase
Of more than 81 per cent over the
fiscal year of 1915; SO per cent over
1914, and "a per cent over 1913.
For the entire country the percent
age of net income to gross receipts
was approximately 80 per cent; for
eastern and southern roads 20 per
cent; for western roads 80 per cent.
The difference is attributed by Off
Gals to careful administration and
sparsely settled sections of the west
than in the east.

Railway Earnings
Break All Records

The year now closing has been a
very prosperous one for the rail-
roads of the United States. Stats
tics gathered by the interstate COM
merce commission for the first nine
months, and made the basis of con-
servative calculation for the entire
year, indicate that the total net in
come from operations will be approx
mately $1,09s,0oO,Oo0, which is more
than one-third higher than the total
of 1918, heretofore the banner year.
OF, course, war trade has been a
big factor and the eastern railroads
have been securing the cream of the
traffic, and lots of it, but the west
ern roads have shared in the trans
portation revival and they show a
greater net income in proportion to
receipts than all others.
And the volume of business han
died in general would probably have
been still greater except for the car
shortage which has seriously handi-
capped all the roads, especially dur
ing the last three or four months.
Americans appear to be travelling
more and farther than ever before,
at least on American railroads. To
tai passenger receipts for the year, it
is expected, will aggregate $700,000,-
600. We print herewith a synopsis
of the commissions figures:
For the first nine months of the
year the railroads collected $685.
S29,647 from all sources of opera
ton, the chief items of which were
as follows:
Freight, $1,s75 800; passenger
traffic, 1922, 103,9O7; mails, $685.
600; from express companies, $685.
Os9, 474; incidentals, dining and buff
fet service, operation of hotels and
restaurants, operation of grain eleva-
tors, etc., $60,414,597 and all other
transportation charges, $76,Os7,611.
This total, using the first nine
months as a basis, will reach $780,
64O,502 when the years closes, official
estimate, and without doubt will ex-
coed it. Never before in the history
of railroad operations have the roads
had so great gross income.
Expenses have not kept pace with
the rapid rise in receipts, although
they have measurably increased. From
a total of $1S2,SS1, 1869 in January ex-
penses had increased to $2O3, 1858
in September, approximately II per
cent. During that period receipts
had increased from $26OO54,306 to
$324,954,3 01, approximately 25 per
cent. The chief items of expense for
the nine months period for which re-
turns are available are as follows:
Maintenance of way, $32O,157,526;

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Montana wool growers will realize
approximately $6,500,0O0 for their
1916 crop of fleece, according to E. A.
Gray, general agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern. The clip for this year,
estimated at S1,5OOOO0. pounds, is 81
100000 pounds less than 1915 and T.
100000 pounds less than 1914. How
ever, due to higher wool prices, the
net revenue will be as large this year
as usual.

National Society Helps.

New REORGANIZATION of an in
ternational committee to cooperate
in giving employment to women in a
revival of the Industrial arts in Great
Britain, France, Italy, Russia and
the United States was recently an
nounced here by Mrs. William Alex
ander, president of the National Spe-
cial Aid society, before leaving for
England to undertake the work.
War Closes Factories.
"The making of art products in Eu-
rope has been arrested by the war,
said Mrs. Alexander in a statement
before her departure. "The manufac-
tories have been closed and the skill
ed workmen have gone to the front
At the same time there are multi
tudes of women who are eager to
work and who are in pressing need
of support.
In this country there is a great
demand for fabrics, weaves, decora-
tive materials that can not under

Give Work to Women.
Gin view of these facts a commit
tee for the international revival of
industrial arts, under the auspices OF
the National Special Aid society, has
been formed. It's aim is to cooperate
with artistic people Of England and
France to give employment to COM
petent women who can be taught to
manufacture textiles, furniture, en-
broideries, objects of art and va
riety of decorative articles copied
from or based on the best examples
of artists design to be found in Eng
land, France and Italy.
Train Americans Later.
when sufficient progress has been
made in these countries, and after
a market has been established in
America for the articles thus produc-
ed, the aim will be to use the models
secured to train competent women in
America to continue the work in
this country, thereby helping the plan
of reconstruction in Europe, as well
as industrial development in Amer
ica."

VALUE OF 1915 MINE OUTPUT.
Enormous Increase Shown in Records
Against 1915 Production.

Enormous Increase Shown in Records
Against 1915 Production.
Washington.-Three billion dollars
is the value put upon the 1916 output
of American mines in estimates made
to Secretary Lane by the geological
survey, copper alone netting about
$300,0O0,O0O.
Production, it is estimated, has run
at least Is per cent ahead of 1915.
Copper Is Big Sensation.
The copper output was the sensa-
ton of the year in the mining world.
At an average price of 81 cents per
pound the 1916 production had val
ue of $52O,OO0,OOO, compared with
$243,OOO,O0O the year before. The
profits were the greatest ever known
in the metal. Prices averaged slight
ly more than q cents, as against
about II cents in 1915.
Arizona led the states in copper
production, mining 675,000,000 pounds,
against 432,OOO,OOO pounds the year
before Montana came second with
35O,OOO,O0O pounds, and Michigan was
third, with 269,O00,OO0. Alaska mined
120,00O,O00 pounds, which was almost
twice the 1915 production. Tennessee
alone failed to increase it's yield.
Iron Ore 75,5o0,0o0 Tons.
Shipments of iron ore amounted to
$175, 100000, an increase of $77,000,-
900 over 1915. The country's mines
produced 75,5OO,OOO gross tons, agains
35,OO0,OOO the year before. Produc-
ton of pig iron durink the year made
a record with 100000 tons, against
30000,000 tons in 1915.
The coal mines sold 597,500000
tons, compared with 57O,0O0,0O0, the
record established in 1913. The guam
tity of bituminous coal mined was
100000 AN increase of 66,500,O 900

COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS TRY

BIG PROFITS MADE IN STOCKS
Warning Countries Was Known

Before 1t Was Dispatched.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. nvesti-
cation of allegations of a "leak" of
advance information to Wall street
on President Wilson's peace note has
taken a broader range and the in
vestigators expect to lay more def
mite foundation for their work this
week, when score of men mention
ed in connection with the inquiry ap-
pear before the house rules commit
tee
Call Newspaper Men.
Secretary Lansing, whose depart
ment has been drawn indirectly into
the investigation by suggestions it
might have been the source of a
leak" regarding dispatch of the note,
and Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to
the president, whose name was men
toned by Representative Wood, in
stigator of the inquiry, has notified
the rules committee they wished to
appear and make statements on the
subject. Subpoenas were issued for
seven newspaper men representing
in Washington the Wall Street Jour
nal, Financial America, Central News
of America and the New York Eve
ming Sun and they were ordered to
bring their records with them.
Also under subpoena to appear are
Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston finan-
cier; Bernard Baruch of New York,
Chas. H. Sabin, president of the
Guaranty Trust company, and man
ayers of the two telegraph compa-
MES, who will be asked about mes
sages passing over their wires on the
day the peace note was given in con-
fidence to newspaper correspondents.
The Question.
The question that concerns the ma
ton, as Representative Chiperfield
said before the house investigating
committee, 'is whether there was a
leak and whether government Off
Gals improperly profited by it."
All this side-sparring, all this oral
abuse, and attempt to beat up dust
by assailing Tom Lawson and other
notoriety seekers, is apart from the
mark and can have no other effect
on public opinion than to deepen sus-
picion
That there was a news leak on
President Wilson's peace note; that
Wall street was tipped off before the
fact went to the general public, is
strongly indicated by the course of
stock exchange trading and the pub
LEGATION of advance information in
certain New York newspapers. AS
Congressman Gardner points out to
the committee, the fact is significant
that 10 hours before the president s
peace note was released for publica-
ton and four hours before it had
been placed in the hands of the news
associations, this dispatch was sent
out over the ticker of a Wall street
agency:
"The renewed selling of the market
is due to reports received by brokers'
private wires from Washington to the
effect that the administration will,
in the near future, address to the
belligerents some suggestions or pro-
posals in regard to peace"
There is your proof of Leak" de-
clares Mr.. Gardner.
1t is apparent that there was leak
somewhere, and it is highly desir.
able that the guilty person or persons
shall be exposed and properly pun.
