RECIPE TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How TO
Make Remedy for Gray Hair.

Mr.. Frank Harbaugh Of Cincinnati,
O., who has been a barber for more
than forty years recently made the fol-
lowing statement:
Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray hair, and make 1t soft
and glossy. To a half pint OF water
add one ounce bay rum. a small box
OF Barbo Compound and one-quarter
ounce glyceriDe. These ingredients can
be bought at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply TO the hair twice
week until the desired shade is OBJ
tanned. This will make a gray haired
person look twenty years younger. This
is not a dye. it does not color the most
delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub Off"

CHEAP LIGHT AND POWER.

Electric light and power for Sioux
City and for every residence and busi-
ress house In South Dakota for 2 cent
q kilowatt Is a possibility by the de-
velopment Of a hydro-electric plant
at Muiehead, ID.
A commission, appointed by IN act
OF the South Dakota legislature Feb
ruary 20, 1919, has made the investi-
CATION. The commission employed
one OF the most efficient hydro-elec-
trio engineers In the country, who AS
sisted In making a thorough survey
of possible power sites along the Mis-
souri river. The engineer pased his
report on possible power dam and
generating and distributing station
at Mulehead.
South Dakota now uses IS, ,000,0 00
kilowxtts Of electric power annually.
It costs from 10 cents kilowatt up
ward. A power dam could be built
1t Mulehead for approximately s6, ,5O0,-
600, the engineer reports. 1t would
cost approximately $500, 600 to erect
the plant, poles and distributing sys-
tenn. The upkeep and operateing ex.
pense Of such plant would be In the
nsighborhood Of tl, 900, 600 q year.
III the annual consumption OF cur.
rent could be raised to lo0, ,0o0 900 kilo
watts the current could be sold for 2
cents kilowatt, making . gross in
come for the state Of s2,O0O,000. The
2 G, mt kilowatt would be trifie
more than the cost Of manufacturing
the current. This would leave the
state net profit OF s4oO, 900 and fur.
nish every person In the state elec-
tric current at q ridiculously low price
The engineer points out That the
current could be distributed through
the state by runninga cable into each
town. The township then could issue
bonds for the erection Of distributing
wires to the farmers and the bonds
could be retired later from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the current
