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 mako it
at home. which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does
1t so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
1t and draw this through your hair
taking one small strand at a time t;
by morning the gray hair disappears.
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark.
thick and glossy and you look years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-Adv.

MAKES
STAND PLAIN
UPON BUYING
Only Those Accredited to
War Mission May Fix
Prices in America.

Senator Marconi. in the italian
senate. has not called for an inves-
litigation of the official Italian War
Mission to the United States. 1T was
explained in Italian apd American
official quarters here yesterday.
Senator Marconi has demanded that
the results Of the governments
probe OF certain officers and bank
ers who came to the United States
and tried to buy italian war sup
plies without consulting the Italian
mission. be made public.
1t was admitted here yesterday
at the War Industrial Board that
the board had been greatly annoyed
by persons and firms who made Of
fers TO the italian government out
side Of the regular channels. In
some instances, 1t was stated. these
persons and firms by dealing direct
with certain agencies OF the italian
government in Rome had sought to
place orders at prices which the
War Industries Board considered
outrageously high. The board. in
each instance. insisted that these
contracts be Cancelled.
Other trouble was experienced in
the case of firms who purported to
offer material at prices below those
secured by the War Industries
Board and the italian mission. In
each such instance upon investiga-
ton it was found that the lower
prices also involved very much low
er specifications.
At one time the activities OF these
persons threatened TO make serious
trouble between the War Industries
Board and the Italian government.
1t became necessary for the board to
insist that the Italian government
lrepudiate the activity OF these re-
puted agents and brokers.
1t was stated Authoritatively here
that there is no criticism that can
be made against the purchasing OF
materials for Italy by the Italian
War Mission and the Italian Am
bassador. In each instance these
agencies have co-operated with the
War Industries Board in placing or
ders at properly determined prices
and in a way not to interfere with
the work of the other allies.

ALASKA COLD
STORAGE BILL
Sulzer Measure for Slaugh-

Members OF the Permanent Wild

against the bill which has been o.
fered in Congress. known az the 81

William T. HornadAy. who recent
" appeared IN Washington In oppo-
sition 90 the SulEer bill. has ISSUED
a scathing criticism Of the bi.

, Maybe you think that's the end and
that YOU can rest content with having
affixed your signature to the pledge
card.
But such is not the case.
There's post-sunday campaign. YOU
might say.
And it's going on right now.
Trail Hitting Is Only start.
Never you think that Billy is
Through with you when you walk
hlithely down that sawdust trail and
take him by the hand. No, indeed.
Billy will keep. a wary eye on you.
through those cooperating in his
meetings, and it won't be any easy
matter to back out or change your
mind about affiIiating with the
church you inscribed on the trail
hitter's card.
Every one of those 1852 trail-hit-
ter cards which resulted from the
Washington drive has a definite aim
in life. 1t was designed for a pur-
pose and it is not merely stuck away
in a card index system or cast into
waste basket.
For instance, if you gave a GER
tain church in San Diego, Cal, as
your preference. your name will be
sent to the minister of that church,
and If you ever go back to San Di-
ego he'll nab you the first thing.
'Will Re Welcome for All.
And if you merely stated that you
would prefer some church in the
city OF Washington. well, there will
be a scramble for you among the
ministers OF the various churches,
lively in accordance with your pop
ularity.
Fred Buse, who is winding up the
business of keeping track of the
trail hitters, is now performing the
stupendous job of getting the trail
hitter cards to their proper destina-
tiOns.
And in the next few weeks. unless
the trail hitters voluntarily go TO
the churches for which they ex-
pressed a preference. the ministers
will have some job in gathering
them in.
Anyway, If the trail hitters were
not camouflaging, a seat in church
next Sunday will be about as hard
to find as is a nice juicy .beefsteak
on Tuesday.
