BERLIN, Feb. 29.--Plans are afoot
for the establishment in Germany of
a great credit bank to take charge
Of the gradual liquidation of foreign
debts.
The policy of the German govern
ment during the war was to require
importers OF foreign raw materials to
make only part payments for them in
cash, with the stipulation that the bal
ance would be paid after. the war.
These debts are now falling due and
have assumed gigantic proportions as
the result Of the depreciation of the
mark
A project has been advanced by the
National Association of German Manu-
facturers to organize & special credit
institution which undertakes to utilize
all the available property in Germany

gradually all foreign indebtedness and

The firm, in arriving at the various
percentages, takes the net income for

lSi9 net return on that property in

a rate of per cent on the 1918 prop

freight increase. The results, after ap-
plying to the freight revenues for 1918,

Trade and Finance
Developments Of the Week
! and Their Bearing on
the Outlook

Few new Influences appeared last
week to shape the course Of specu-
lative security values. Prices Of
standard industrial stocks, however,
continued under pressure and in
many cases new low prices for the
year were established. Railroad
shares were in better demand, as
was the case the preceding week, the
buying in this department Of the
market being based upon the legis-
lation enacted by Congress providing
for the return Of the roads to private
control to-day. The upward move
ment in many Of the low-priced rails
was rather pronounced, the demand
for such issues being apparently
based upon the speculation that un-
der the changed conditions of rail-
way control numerous of the weaker
roads are likely to benefit either
through prospects of increased earn
ing capacity or of possible consolida-
ton with larger and more powerful
systems.

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 trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition OF
other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
> Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age. and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is delightful tot
let requisite and not medicine. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.
