The object Of the great rush by
politicians and the controlled press is
to cover up the rations issue with
bogus remedies which will quiet pub
lie opinion until another issue like
railroad ownership or war with Mexi-
co can be brought out. Only serious
reform of our distribution system
meets the rations issue. Court prose-
cution Of profteers, raids on farm

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR,GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color
and Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. At little cost you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac-
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound and look years younger.

Learns at 10 Two Can't
Live Cheaper Than One

Santa Rosa.-"You can't beat
this high cost Of living nohow,"
says John Boroquez, seventy
years old, who on September 6
married Adeline Young, aged
sixty-four, keeper of a boarding
house, on the theory that two
could live cheaper than one.
They agreed to divide the pro-
ceeds from the boarding house.
BoroQuez asked for his share
of the profits. The thrifty bride
refused and started for the bank
to deposit the coin. Boroquez
went to the newspapers and had
inserted q notice that he had left
his bride and would not be re-
sponsible for any debts contract
ed by her.

INCREASING the food
L supply of the world
is the most vital prob
lem which man must
solve. The burden of
this solution rests heav-
lily upon the shoulders of
the farmers of America.
The service rendered by the
Standard Oil Company Qndi-
ana) in producing fuel and
lubricants for the economical
and efficient operation of farm
machinery has made it
possible for the farmer to
cultivate a greater acreage,
produce larger crops, and
get them to market at least
expense.
By maintaining its comprehensive
system of distribution, the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) makes it
possible for the farmer to get his
requirements of petroleum products
easily, regularly and quickly.
By virtue of this complete service
on the part of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) he may, literally,
make hay while the sun shines"
He is independent of the health or
endurance of horses. He can plow,
cultivate or harvest when these
tasks should be done. He can have
a complete cycle of activity, operat-
ing even by shifts, if necessary. He
can plan his operations on definite
schedule to produce a steady, con-
slant supply of farm products for
you and your family.
Thus is illustrated how you benefit
by the service rendered by the
Standard Oil Company indiana to
the farmer. These are benefits
accr1ing to the world at large
which accentuate the usefulness of
the Standard OIL Company Qndiana)
as a public servant, and emphasize
how completely it discharges its
obligation as such.
