PRESSMEN ON STRIKE.

MI. Charles Gill, Of Lexington,
representing several Lexington
printing establishments, where
preSsmen are on a strike, was in
Paris one day last week looking for

full. No developments were reported
by either the employing printers or

point to a waiting game in the mat
ter of an adjustment. Twelve men
are out, and three shops, the Tran
sylvania Printing Co., the James M.

TOBACCO MARKETS

The close of the 1919-192O sales
season came Friday at the local
warehouses, when about 47,OOO
pounds of the weed was disposed of
at the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse.
NO report of the averages was made
TO the local press, but we under
stood that the sale averaged fairly
we'll. w. NJ. Rogers sold crop for
$50 per hundred, while another
crop sold by Samuel Harding
brought about $50 per hundred.
While the figure for the seasons
sale are not Obtainable, it has been
estimated by several well-posted to-
bacco men that the Paris market
has disposed of nearly 100000
pounds of tobacco, about two million
more than was sold on the local
breaks during the season of 1913
1919. For the season the Bourbon
Tobacco Warehouse Co. sold a total
of 8,000,47O pounds, for an average
of $43.02 per hundred pounds.
Good grades brought good prices
through the season, but a large per
cent of mean tobacco reduced the
general average considerably. Es-
pCCIdIly WdS luIS true toward The
end of the season, when prices on
inferior tobacco reached a very low
level. Last year the Bourbon To-.
bacco Warehouse Co. sold a total of
100000 pounds of tobacco for an
average of $41.10 per hundred
pounds. Last year the combined
total of sale reached the figures of
100000 pounds.
Although the sales season has
closed and the warehouse shutters
put up until the opening of the,
next season, the redrying and pack
ing departments for the four big
buyers will remain in operation
for several weeks, getting purchases
in readiness for shipping out to the
big manufacturing concerns.
For the season the New Independ-
ent Tobacco Warehouse sold a total
of 5,368,465 pounds of tobacco, as
compared to 3,861,415 pounds dur
ing the season of 1918-1919. The
1919-1920 sales brought a money
value of $2,347,885.59, compared to
$1,578,005.47 in the past season, an
increase of $769,880.12. The aver
age for the season just ended was
$43.73, compared to $40.86 for
1888, an increase of $2.87 per
hundred pounds.

DU AND YOUR TEETH j%An Educational Series

] Number Twenty-three.

When man buys an automobile he4is eager to find out all about it and he puts in a good deal of time learning the mechanism of ma chine, how to operate it and how to detect and correct troubles of any hnd. If he were only half as diligent in learning about his greatest possess sion, the most marvellous machine in creation, his own physical body, and after learning how to properly care for same, to exercise the same effort in looking after the mechanism and wants of his body that he does about his automobile, the troubles of the human race would be reduced from fifty to seventy-fve per cent. If you tried to cross the country on three flat tires it would be like trying to be healthy with three-fourths of your teeth impaired-decayed or decaying. Why not do as much for your body your health-as you do for your auto when the old enc wears out, but when your teeth are gone you cannot buy new ones equal to those nature gave you. I urge you, if you value your health to come to me for free mouth examinations, for it is only by this method you can learn if your teeth need treatment If you have chill dren, it is one of your chief dute5 toward them to see that they enter life with good teeth, for that means good health, and without the latter a upon the child.

LADIES! EARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded. gray hair to it's na- tural coior dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, 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 a bottle of ,"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the eddi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A welI-known downtown druggist snys it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it anG . draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after auotEer application or two. it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy Adv.
