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

Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask al any
drug store for "Weyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improv-
ed 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 a time; 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. Weyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is de-
| lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

the Grain Corporation was making a
large purchase for the Allies and was
utilizing Its knowledge Of available
stocks by having on the Job trans.
portation strategist-Edward Cham
bers, vice president Of the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Chambers was assisting the Food
Administration and has remarkable
"way with him." Even before he was
called to assist Mr.. McAdoo, the Direc-
tor General, his suggestions to the rail-
roads had a wonderful effect In dis
couraging their hesitancy as to finding
available cars and in clearing up con-
gestions that looked as though they
never could be uncongested.
How Uncle Sam Keeps the Whip
Ease In getting the needed cars was
one Of the advantages enjoyed by this
particular elevator after signing the
voluntary agreement which ceded to
the Grain Corporation the right to con-
troll storage and direct shipments and
sales Of all wheat bought by the pro-
prletOr.
While voluntary, this agreement II
almost compulsory since railroads give
priority recognition to Grain Corpora
tion requests for cars; and elevators
or mills outside the official fold must
rustic" for themselves. In return the
Government guarantees the elevator
proprietor against losses and protects
him in every way as to price and pays
him rentals for all storage space reQui-
sitioned by It.

How the Wheat Was MlIled.
Away went our bushel of wheat on
Its journey to the terminal where 1t
met other bushels of wheat from all
parts of the territory that fed this
market There 1t was regarded for
special requirements, marked for i'm
mediate milling and rolled on to a
large mill In Illinois. The miller
bought the wheat from the Grain Cor
poration, for each miller in the Unit

At New York City was $228 per BUSH
el. Here. 10 how hs went about It:
The freight rate from SikestOn to
New York being 1898 cents per BUSH
ell, he deducted that from $229 per
bushel and found the price at SikestOn
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
/ per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price I. o. b. Slkeston at $2.1002.
He next compared this price with
what he could get II he sold at st.
Louis. his nearest primary market. At
st. Louis the basic price Is S2.l8 per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Slkeston to St. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
el. This would make the Sikeston
price $212, less / cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our imaginary 2 bushels Of wheat
had started from Slkeston, since It was
a No. 2 grade, we must deduct 8 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price I. o. b. the elevator point to
S20S02 per bushel. As our imaginary
elevator man Is charging s cents per
bushel for handling, which Includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an additional 4 cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.O402 at the elevator.
Some Of that 4 cents will return to our
farmer II the elevator prospers; for 1t
Is owned comparatively.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had 1t been
"line" plant, Col. jenkins would not
have been so bland and trustful.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
might have taken 1t over to COM
petltive concern which offered q high
er price; for the Food Administration
has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun-
try points. II does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers organ
lzaton wheat offered at terminal
points, but makes a commission charge

ly an administrative arm Of the Gov.
ernment formed to buy grain or super.
vise it, sale at the prices determined
by the commission, and Il must do ito
work on the basis Of the new grades.
But to return to our farmer and his
expectations Of price.
introducing TIVE Bushels Of Wheat
Lying side by side In his wagon had
been 2 bushels Of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels Of wheat, and to look at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures In
store for them. Yet one was destined
to travel abroad for consumption in
France; the other to ind its way into
Georgia, where 1t was milled and its
-four finally reached a New York
baker on the East Side. But In the
sum Of the travels made by the two,
as we shall follow them, will be un-
folded the International panorama Of
wheat marketing In time Of war.
Finding a Price at a Country Point.
High war costs of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern as
to his returns and accounted for his
depression over the prospects of his
wheat grading down.; for that meant
a reduction of 3 cents per bushel un-
der the No. l grade. But 1t graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct an
additional s cents bushel to cover the
fixed charge made In this locality for
handling and selling. The 6-cent
charge included the commission Of 1
cent per bushel customary in 1917
among commission men for selling the
wheat to domestic millers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
as to how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring. He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent Of the Grain Corporation.
So he wrote letter to the representa-
tive stationed at st. Louis. That let
ter was referred to the traffic expert
In the New York Office, who transmit
ted the following rule for determining
the price Of wheat at any country
point:
4 There 10 only one price for wheat At
country point That prIos Is always
to be arrived At by taking a. basis
the price at tho most advantageous
primary market whore We have fixed
a price and deductIno the freight to
that market and a fair handling profit.
That 10 the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of the point
to which II may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station is
a fine occupation for an of day. II
you cannot find the answer, write to
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration In New York City and Its
traffic expert will give you aid.

- Pituk Win luc pIOUlciue
Uncle Sam Is now trans
lating Into the pockets Of both prOduc-
ers and consumers benefits derived by
the Nation. He has shut off specula-
ton, produced q free market and
movement Of all grades Of wheat, cut
expenses and induced normal flow Of
wheat In natural directions, and ef-
fected thousand other economies.
The Food Administration Grain Cor.
poration, which supervises the sale, or
itself buys every bushel of wheat pro.
duced In the Nation In Its progress
from country elevator to foreign buy
ers or domestic consumers, marks a
new step toward national efficiency.
How In four short months 1t has been
done Is told in the following episodes
wherein two bushels Of wheat Travelled
to market.
One fine fall afternoon, Col. Bill
jenkins, who farms somewhere In Mis-
souri,, loaded his wheat into wagon
and drove along the black road that
led across the prairie to town. When
he reached the cooperative elevator
Of which he was a stockholder, he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began to
unload. The manager came out and
asked:
"When you want to sell this wheat7"
" dunno" he answered. "One
times about as good as another
these days. r won't weigh any more
later" he added, with dry smile.
"Wheat shrinks a lot" admitted the
manager. " hear the Government
wants as much wheat as It can get
Just now-understand the Allies do
eat terrible lot Of 1t since the war"
"What's wheat to-day1" asked Col
Jenkins, getting interested.
swell, let me see," parleyed the
manager. II guess this wheat'd be
good No. 2 under the new grades"
"Gradesi What about grades7 That
Food Administration seems to mix into
mighty nigh everything from rabbits
to axle grease"
"Hold on, Colonel" said the eleva.
tor man, good-naturedly. "The Food
Administration is not to blame. Con-
.gress passed the act and told the De
partment Of Agriculture to fix the
grades. They became effective last
July. ! sent out a letter on It."
"Well, ! guess you better sell for
the best you can," said the farmer.
II am needed at home" And he drove
away.
