You Cam Make at Home Better
Gray Hair Rer1edy Than You Can
Ruy.

Gray streaked or faded hair is
not only unbecoming, but unneces-
sary. You can darken it without
using a dye.
Anyone can prepare 4 simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray nair. and make
it soft and glossy. To a half pint
of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and Ia
ounce of glycerinc. These ingredi-
ents can be bought at any drug store
at very little cost, or the druggist
will put il up for you. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the de-
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t is not a
dye, ii does not color the most deli
cate scalp; is not sticky or greasy

COTTON

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.--The cotton market
opened steady at an advance OF II TO "a
points on renewed buying by spot houses
and scattered covering. January sold up to
26 CO. and March TO $50 shortly after the
calll. making net gains of about - points
on the active position and the buying was
encouraged by reports that ocean freight
room was being offered at lower rates for
January, February and March shipments out
OF southern ports. There was some selling
here for New Orleans account but this was
believed 10 be on differences and brokers
said they saw very little hedge selling around
the ring.
Reports that freight rates had been re-
duced by S1.25 per hundred pounds be-
ginning with the February allotment, slim
ulated the buying movement during the
middle of the morning. January sold up to
2G. 90 and March to 1915, with active
months generally showing an advance of 80

TO S1.35.

clines in provisions.
