differences between the senate and
house over the details OF the legisla-
ton have finally been adjusted. Chief
among these differences was the Ques-
ton Us &c whether the base retirement

finally agreed on. The taking effect
of the legislation will mean the imme-

RAILROADS JANUARY
 LOSS S64,000,000

Washington, March, 2.-Net op- erating income of the railroads under government control in January fell to S11 1,000,000 due to the unusually se- were weather and the coal strike. This was a deficit of s64,000,000 com pared with the average monthly rem tai paid by the government for the properties, but an unexpected S53,- 100000 accruing from back mail pay under decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission Iaduced the actual loss to $11,000,O0O.
 The result of the January opera tions does not increase the estimated excess of expenses over income for the 26 months of federal control con tained in Director General Hines re- port to President Wilson, as he al- lowed for the full s64,O00,00o operat- ing loss in compiling the total.
 Despite bad conditions during the month, Mir. Hines asserted in a state ment tonight, very heavy tonnage was handled compared with previous years and the average train load showed a gratifying increase over January of the three preceding years.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladiesl Try thisl Darkens beautifully
and nobody can tell-Brtngs back
its gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol add
ed, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is TO get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition
of other ingredients a large bottle, at
little cost, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth q Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, /" thus avoiding lot of miss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveness. BY dark
sa7ng your hair with Wyeth g Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years

essential factor, is promised by the
renewed activities of the railroads I'M
der the impetus of increased rates of
service.
Favorable conditions of agriculture
are coupled with greatly improved in
dustrial prospects. The prediction is
now made that many plants now closed
for various reasons will reopen soon
after Labor day. We question whether
this statement can apply to the Amer
lean Wooden mills, for in that partic
ular line, many complex elements are
involved. Wise dealers in all lines are
refraining from plunging in any direc-
ton and limiting purchases to actual
needs of their markets. Movements of
prices viii probably not be rapid, but
we must expect a downward tendency.
Encouragement is also to be found
in the upward movement of exports
during July, the increase over those OF
June being about $25,00O,000. Imports
on the other hand increased only $l6,-
100000. The more other nations buy
the products of our industries the more
must our industries work.
The improved European war outlook
is also helping the business situation in
the United States to become more
hopeful. As the situation now stands,
the worst can be said to be over and
from this time on there should be a
constant increase in public confidence
