WALES ENJOYING
 MUCH PROSPERITY
Miners and Their Families Have LuXuI'ies Hitherto Unknown
 to Them.

Swansea, Wales Correspondents of The Associated Press )-The vacation season is furnishing ample evidence that South Wales, once noted because of the low wages of it's people, is now enjoying a prosperity which admits of luxuries for miners and their fam flies hitherto unknown.
 Golfers who easily make $10 a week, even at their seven-hour day, and steel workers who make $90 are much in evidence, their particular sport being flying, Some of them have been up in pleasure flying ma chimes half a dozen times, and every time it cost them $5. Many of them have their own motorcycles, and some have autom ob;les, an unheard-of eX trava gance, even in the munitlon- manufacturing days.
 But the aristocrat of all workmen about Swansea is the coal trimmer who works on the docks. Five of them work together and experiences no difficulty whatever in clearing up $1OO a week. They have so much work to do that the best of them ire quently have to sublet their turns to lesser paid men and thus they earn more while they sleep.
 General cargo workers loading and unloading ships easily earn from $i0 to $50 a week, while foremen V.hn have a share in the earnings of cacN gang under them frequently cou.t sra0 for a weeks labor.
 Contrasted with the wages paid b r- fore the war, the figures given arc almost unbelievable, for South Wales was known as one of the poorest paid districts, even in Great Britain.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma'S Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens so Naturally
 That Nobody Can Tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre or when it fades, turns gray, dull and Hfeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in 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 beau- tiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get tnis famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darEeninG the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
