SAGE AND SULPHUR

Brush this through faded, iifeIess
locks and they become dark,

Hair that loses its color and lus,re,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by lack Of
sulphur ia the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands Of women
and men who value that even color
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which IL so attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix

MARKET NEWS
BY r. Allen Lewis

Irregularity and continuance of the
waiting attitude are expected in the
market. The market is very strong
technically and should be responsive TO
bullish news and on the other hand is
able to sustain shocks well because of
the buffer of "A large short interest.
Coppers are being bought on rumors of
the placing of another half billion
pound order. The floor crowd con-
tinues bearish on Central Leather be-
cause of the British import restrictions
on leather goods. Continued increases
in the monthly earnings of Southern

already commencing to report decreas-
es owning to the traffic congestion

entity not suffering except to limited
extent is attracting speculative invest
ment absorption Of this stock. Re
sumption Of Smelling operations in
Mexico said to be a factor in influence
ing this absorption during recessions in
the market for this stock.
From the annual report Industrial
Alcohol earned the same amount as
Central Leather and is selling as points
higher and paying no dividend. What
keeps up Industrial Alcohol is the short
interest. a higher export duty Is be-
lieved to be placed on Mexican oils. 1t
seems very improbable that any legis-

RANCHERS. LAX
IN ASK|NGF Or
PROJECT WATER

A most important circular regarding
the Salt River project was sent out by
the secretary of the interior to the
water users under the project, but to
which it seems very little attention is
being paid This circular letter or
Public Notice" as il is headed calls
the attention of the ranchers to a rul
ing which makes it extremely neces
sary that they file application for wa
ter rights within six months from the
date of the communication. lnasmuch
as the date was January Is, all appli-
cations must be in before July IS of
this year
II should be borne in mind in case a
land owner makes this application
within the time specified. he can take
advantage of the twenty year payment
plan provided by the government, viz.
two per cent of the $50 per acre, per
annum for the first four years, four
per cent for the next two years and six
per cent for the following fourteen
years. These payments under this
plan would run 81 20 per acre for four
years, $40 the next two years and
$3.50 per acre for the remainder of the
time. All this provided the application
or the acceptance Of the terms and
conditions are duly filed with the
Phoenix office before July IS. Any one
failing to 50 make application within
the time specified VIII have to pay the
sixty dollars per acre within ten years
and one tenth of the amount or six
dollars per acre viii be due each year
in addition as in the other case, to
operation and maintenance charges.
Another provision is that in failure to
make application within "A year from
January is, 1917. the construction
charge shall be increased five per cent
per annum until the application and
initial payment is made. 1t is very
evident from Information received from
the reclamation department the farm
ers throughout the valley have given
little thought to the circular sent out.

been only eight applications made and
only one of these was on the south
side of the Salt There are 1900 own
