TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur /
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair Is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using 1t to keep their hair a good,
even color, which Is quite sensible, as
we are living In an age when a youth
full appearance is Of the greatest adj
vantage.
Nowadays, though. we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called '.Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
1t has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with II and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, IL also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
OF abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is a de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. II
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention Of disease.

BACK FROM EAST \
HUMPHREYS SAYS
AUTOS LIMITED
c. Fisher Humphreys, Local Overland
and Hudson-Essex Dealer Sta
ties Conditions.
FEWER CARS TO-DAY
THAN 3 YEARS AGO
Despite Increased Production The
Shortage of Automobiles Will
Continue.

G. Fisher Humphreys, local Over
land and Hudson-Essex automobile
dealer, who returned last week from
trip east to the factories of these
automobiles, where he thoroughly an
alyzed the supply situation, is giving
out some startling figures concering
the automobile famine.
"The impression is widespread" ne
declared, 'that tremendous numbers
of new cars have been put into ser
vice this year. This is not justified
by the facts. Figures show decid-
ed decrease in the consumption Of
gasoline indicating that there are ac-
tually fewer cars in service today
than there were this time last year.
"At first this seems unbelievable,
but it is necessary to remember that
the normal scrappage of cars am
cunts approximately to 100000 a
year, that production last year was
the smallest since 1915 and that the
output solar this year has been be-
low normal due to the necessarily
slow recovery from war conditions.
Every dealer knows that while pro-
duction has been increasing constant
ly the demand has grown faster than
the output.
"And this condition is apt to last
indefinitely because more people are
coming into the market today for
cars due to the unprecedented and
growing prosperity in all sections of
the country. There is no end in
sight. Wages are higher than ever
before. Prices of all commodities
are going up constantly. Farm pro
ducts are setting new high record
Government figures show that in
January 1919, there was shortage
of approximately 100000 automobiles
in the country. In 1918 the total
production was 1,O44,754 as against
1,737,161 the previous year. In 1910
the production was 1,493,617 so las
years business was the smallest since
| 1915. If there had been no produc
tion at all this year then the short
age would have been increased b!
the scrappage, or by 100000 cars, o.
total Of nearly a million automo
biles to which must be added the nor
NAL increase in the number Of buy
ers.
Normally the output which repre-
sents the demand Increases at the ratt
of forty percent. So that to satisfy
both the shortage and the new de
mand this year the output woulG
have had to be about 100000. Al
a matter of fact it probably will b.
less than half this figure, according
to present indications. This mean:
that despite the increase in produc
tion, the shortage will continue al
Of this winter and most of next veal
before there can be the slightest in
dication of slackening in the de-
mand."

A Business Manager for the Town

A Business Manager for the Town
Editor Herald In a recent is
sue of The Herald, you noted the
advantage which had accrued to
the city of st. Petersburg by the
adoption of the modified City
Manager" plan Of city govern
ment.
The June issue of the "Short
Ballot Bulletin" copies from the
annual report of Mr. G. 4, Bing-
ham, City Manager of Waltham
Mass, as follows:
Z" In 1918, the first year Of the
new government, the appropria-
tons from taxation were reduced
$10,000.00 For the year 1919,
these have been reduced another
100000 (total reduction in tax
alton $21,O0000); yet, in that
period, all SALARIES have been
raised, all material costs have
advanced and $24,000.00 more has
been appropriated to the highway
department than ever before. :"
The new government has cleaned
up 100000 of OLD deficits, :
So and, in 1919, 100000 more
h i'll be paid to clear off deficits
left over from 1914 and 1915.
These ancient debts had been car
ried over and passed along from
one administration to another, y
The net debt of the city is
$S0,000.00 less than year ago.
The same issue of the Bulletin
notices that East Cleveland pros
pers with a City Manager that
&c. NJ. Osborn presents a report
showing that in SPITE of ii per
