To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur bring back its
vigOr COLOR gloss and youth
fuIneSS,

Common garden sage brewed into
q heavy tea, with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just a
few applications will prove revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streahed or
gray Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
n bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray. faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared
and, after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark
glossy. soft and luxuriant.

Al THE PASTiME,.

Automobiles have more uses than
one. They are not only substitutes for
the horse and carriage.
When William Farnum and his COM
pany were making scenes for the viii
liam Fox picture, Fighting Blood,
they were lost in the Mojave Desert in
California. Their automobiles carried
them faithfully through the trackless
wastes and finally brought them back
to civilization. But it performed am
other function.
The desert sands parchcd the
threats of the company. Thirst made
them faint, and there was no water IN
sight. William Farnum took a look al
the water tank of the car. 1t con
tanned enough liquid to drive away
numerous thrists and in addition tC
carry them out fthe desert. They al
drank greedily of the water.

Chicago, Apr 1.-The pronounced
wet vote in the election here yester-
day was said by personal liberty
leaders to mark the beginning of a
campaign to repudiate national pro-
hibition.
The wet vote was 391, $50; the drys
was 144,032. Four out of every five
men voted wet and three out of ev-
cry five women did the same. The
trades union liberty league issued the
following statement:

lobbyists.
There WI now be no let up IN
the protest against prohibition tyran-

has been fully restored to them. This
is the message Chicago sends to con-
gress."
On the other hand, e. ]. Davis Chi
cago superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, said:
81 am not surprised at the result.
We made no fight and asked no one
tc vote for a dry Chicago. To have
done so would have been to dishonor
the acts of congress. The efforts Of
Chicago vets to use Chicago results
in an effort to terrorize Chicago ane
the supreme court is little short Of
seditous.'
The wet and dry election was plan

Adventure follows adventure in
quick succession until Diana finds
herself launched upon a sea of ro-
mancc--a sea which proves a stormy
one for the man in the case as the
irresistible young heroine proceeds to
lead him through an endless maze of
feminine perverseness where he finds
it hard to follow. The action of the
play is rapid and entertaining and the
many complicated situations are
cleverly handled and result IN many
unexpected surprises.
Miss Dana is seen IN her happiest
style and great credit is due her lead

part of the dramat!st. Others de-
serving special mention are Lloyd

outdoor drama in where tho West
Begins" to be shown at the Ideal for
the last time today. 1t is produced
by the William Russell productions
for the American Film company Inc,

and distributed by Pathe.
where the West Begins" is a
wholesome comedy-drama. In the
principal supporting roles with Mr.
Russell are Eileen Percy, j. Cullen
Lands Frederick Nroom. Carl Stock
dale and Alfred Ferguson. The story
is of an eastern lad, who IS duly
shown BY a brisk westerner that life
is just what you make it. Russell
creates fully enough> excitement for
the easterner to say the least.
The action of the story transpires
first in little OIL Moo Yowk and later
in the great out-of-doOrs, the glorious

THE RANGER DUKE

ESPECIAL coR#esPoNpENcg TO MORNING JOURNAL
Fort Worth, Tex. April 2.-The
Ranger-DuSe OF company has a 100
acre Lease in the famous Ranger field
on the Econ river, south of Ranger
and northwest of the Duke and

company was recently organized by

capital of $S5, 00O--stock non ASSESS

under the laws of the state of Texas
when fully subscribed. Walter b.
Sloan, manager of William Cameron

block of the stock has already been
subscribed mostly by the leading
business men of Fort Worth, and they
hope TO let a drilling contract in a

between the largest producing wells

WHEAT SHORTAGE
CAUSES JUMP IN
PRICE Of CORN
Scarcity of Bread Cereals So
Acute That Export to Neu-
trail Countries Has Been
Stopped by Government

MORNING
Chicago April Corn made an
extraordinary jump in price today
amounting in some cases to 6 cents a
bushel Official announcement that
wheat scarcity was so acute that
wheat and flour exports from the
United States to neutral countries had
been stopped was chiefly responsible.
Victory for the liquor interests in the
Chicago municipal election was also
an important factor, The steepest adj
vance was in corn for September de-
livery, a rise to $L3S 1~2 as against
S1,32 - at the finish on Monday.
Traders took the view that corn
products for export would be much
more in demand in place of wheat and
flour. It was a popular opinion also
that rye and barley would be largely
bought on the chance that the result
of the Chicago election would be in
terpreted as a referendum on prohib-
ition, and that with a peace treaty
signed before July /, prohibition
would not be permitted to take eff
feet.
The official announcement was
made at New York last night by
JulluS Barnes, nedu OF me gram dlNlS-
ion of the food administration, accord
ing to reports received here. Mr.
Barnes was quoted as saying:
I'VE have advised the neutral gov
ornments that America will be unable
to furnish any more wheat or wheat
flour to them: that they are free TO
buy other grains in our market but
must seek wheat in other markets.
MIR. Barnes, it was reported said
that beginning next week the grain
corporation will buy the shipment to
liberated countries which needed re-
lief, rye flour, corn flour and barley
flour and will thereby reduce its cur
rent purchases of wheat flour He
said further. that if these measures
failed to keep the price of wheat flour
at reasonable level import restric-
lions would be relaxed to permit the
United States to import from Argen-
tina. Australia and Canada.
During the forenoon the price Of
rye jumped T cents and barley 8 IA
cents on the board of trade.
