SAGE TEA TURNS
CRAY HAIR DARK!!
It's Grandmothers Recipe to BRING
Back Color and Lustre to
Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients at a small cost, all ready for
use. 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always
be depended upon to bring back the
natural color and lustre Of your hair
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv

Claim Ought to Be Net.

There is, however, one claim made
by the railway shopmen which ought
to be met They claim that they are
rot enjoying the same advantages
that other railway employees are en-
jcying, because their wages are cal
culated upon a different basis. The
wages of other railway employees are
based upon the rule that they are to
receive for eight hours work the
samc pay they received for the long
e. workday that was the usual
standard of the pre-war period. This
calm is. 7 am tod. we'll founded,
and 1 concur in the conclusion of the
director general that the shopmen
ought to be given the additional
cents an hour which the readjust-
ment asked for will justify. There
are certain other adjustments, also,
pointed out in the report Of the di-
rector general which ought in fair
ness to be made, and which will be
made.
Let me add. also, that the position
which the government must in con-
creases in wage levels while the
present exceptional and temporary
circumstances exist will, of course,
not preclude the railroad adminiStra-
tion from giving prompt and care
full consideration to any claims that
may be made by other classes of em-
ployes for readiustments believed to
be proper to secure impartial treat
ment for all who work in the railway
service. WOODROW WILSON.

Unaasiness Not Well Grounded.
II am aware that railway employees
have a sense of insecurity as to the
future of the railroads and have many
misgivings as to whether their inter-
ests will be properly safeguarded
when the present form of federal con-
troll has come to an end. Ne doubt it
is In part this sense of uncertainty
that prompts them to insist that their
wage interests be adjusted now rath-
'er than under conditions which they
cannot certainly foresee. But I do
not think that their uneasiness is we'll
grounded. l anticipate that legisla-
tion dealing with the future Of the
railroads will be in explicit terms,
affording adequate protection for the
interests of the employees of the roads; :;
but. quite apart from that it is clear
that NO legislation can make the rail-
ways other than what they are,
great public interest, and it is not
likely that the President of the United
States. whe ether in possession and con-
troll of the railroads or not. will lack
opportunity or persuasive force to in
huence the decision of questions aris-
ing between the managers of the rail-
roads and the railway employees. The
employees may rest assured that, dur
ing my term of Office. whether I am
in actual possession of the railroads
or not. shall not fail to exert the
full influence of the executive to see
that justice is done them
Il believe. therefore. that they may
be justified in the confidence that
hearty cooperation with the govern
ment now in its efforts to reduce the
cost of living will by no means be
to their own interests, but
will, on the contrary, prepare the way
for more favorable and satisfactory
relations in the future.
