time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle of 'wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on TO restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says ii darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell il has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands Of Miles Of improvement
Arranged and More VIII
Surely Follow.

From the passage OF the federal
aid road act 10 December 10, 1913,
755 projects were approved by the
secretary of agriculture. These
projects involve the improvement Of
1887 miles OF public roads at q total
estimated cost Of $57. 1872 600. OF which
the federal government has been re-
quested tc contribute $21,602, OO0-
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects, involving a
total Of fifty-One miles of road, cost
ing approximately $617, 548, and on
which federal aid in the amount Of
$3.50, 66019 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
1900 miles Of road, for which most
Of the steps preliminary to construc-
ton have been taken so far as the
bureau Of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re-
ported to the department have been
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total Of the road
work now in progress under federal
aid is greater than appears in this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North TO the Pacific coast and down
to Mexico road building work is go
ing on. Every state has accepted its
contribution from the government
and while no organized effort has
been made along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to the system OF national
highways.
Coupled with plans already out
