HOW TO D A r K E N
GRAY HAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make Remedy for Gray Hair.

Mr. Frank Harbaugh Of Cincinnati
Ohio, who has been a barber for more
than forty years, recently made the
following statement: ~,
ANY one can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray hair, and make 1t
soft and glossy. To half-pint of
water add ounce bay rum, small
box of Barbo Compound and II ounce
glyc crime. These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very lit
tie cost. Apply to the hair twice a
week until the desired shade is OBJ
tanned. This will make gray-haired
person look twenty years younger.
1t is easy to use, does not color the
most delicate scalp, Is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub of. AID

RETAIL SHOE
TRADE SHOWING
SMALL PROFIT
Probe Shows Average Over
Country Z Per Cent
PrOfiteers Few.
EVERY COST ITEM HIGH

Retail shoe dealers throughout the
country are lucky If they make an aver
age net profit of per cent and Should
be absolved from any charges of pr9hteer-
ing, in the opinion of leading shoe retail
ers of Indianapolis. Shoes that the re-
taller paid $3.50 per pair for six years
ago today cost them $3.50, 1t WAS de
cIared.
Supporting their assertions, local re-
tailers point to an investigation of 10+
stores made by Harvard experts. They
found that the average net profit in these
stores was only Z per cent. The invest1-
cation covered every section Of the coun-
try.
The retailers called attention to the
fact that many persons fail to distln-
guish between gross and net profit. Gross
profit includes the dealers cost Of doing
business. Net profit is what he has left
after all expenses are paid.
BUSINESS "SHYSTERS"
SMALL PERCENTAGE.
There is a certain class of men in every
business who buy up odd lots of goods
at low prices and charge all the market
will bear This class of men is only
about l per cent in the shoe business,
government investigation shows, it is de-
clared.
THE trouble is" said a local retail
dealer discussing the situation. that the
average person does not take the trouble
to distinguish between gross and net
profit Suppose our charge for a pair of
shoes entails an advance over the price
we pay the wholesaler Of 80 per cent If
the purchaser learns of this, and there
is no disposition to conceal it from him,
what is the result? His accusation OF
profiteering on our part is immediate and
energetic.
But let us look at the facts. Every
one of our overhead charges, from rents
to clerk hire. including light heat and
everything, down to the smallest detail

A New Picture

The old idea of the farmer
gaWky, obstinate and frequently
ignorant; living on corn pone,
soW-belly and molasses, in a sod
house or timber shack, scarcely
better than the building which
houses his cattle and hogs-has
gone forever. .s.,
The same skill and judgment
that enables the Middle Western
farmer, for example, to produce
the best corn, wheat, cattle and
hogs in the, world also en-
ables him to buy with discrim-
ination. He is no "piker" in the
action. A man with an investment
ranging from $1,000 to 100000,
put in a farm, may properly be
called a business man.-Senator
Arthur Capper.

The Democratic Nominee.

Gov. James NJ. Cox, the Dem
ocratic nominee for President
was three times Governor Of
Ohio an honor enjoyed by only
one other Ohioan, Rutherford B.
Hayes.
Born on q farm, educated in
the public schools, a printers
devil, a school teacher, a news

rotary to a Congressman, owner,
manager and proprietor of two
newspapers, member of Con-
gress for three years and three
times Governor of his State is
his record to date.
Me-! Cox became the leader of
the Democratic party in Ohio in
1912 when he was nominated
for Governor, AS one who had
brought radical changes in the
State Constitution, he took the
field in its behalf. His first term
as Governor was devoted chief
ly to forwarding the enactment
of laws to put the new State
Constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not
prepared to assimilate all the
laws, for Mr., Cox was defeated
for reelection. But his party re,
nominated him in 1916 and ht
