TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t 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 it to keep their hair good
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when 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
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.

TRADE WITH JAPAN
SHOWS MUCH DEPRESSION

TOKIO.-The trade between this
country and the United States is
gradually becoming dull, due to the
financial panic which makes cargo
movements inactive. Japanese ships
plying between Japanese and Ameri-
can ports are carrying very limited
cargoes on both inward and outward
trips, especially on the former.
On the outward trips, the situation
has improved slightly, owing to the
increase in the expectation of mis-
cellaneous goods. The dull shipments
on the homeward voyage is mainly
due to the cancellation of orders pre-
viously contracted for by Japanese
importers who had to resort to can
collation. because Of the financial de-
preston and the tight money situa-
ton.

WILL MAKE FLOUR
FROM ALASKA WHEAT
MILL OF 25-BARREL CAPACITY
is BEING SHIPPED TO FAIR
BANKS, ALASKA

PORTLAND, Ore.-Equipment for
a flour mill to be installed in Alaska,
IT'S miles south of the Artic circle
has been sold to a Fairbanks, Alaska,
firm by a Portland machinery com
pany
The plant will be of twenty five
barrels daily capacity, operated by
steam, and will be shipped from Sc
attic by steamship to st. Michaels,
transhipped by Yukon river boat a
distance of 1856 miles and thence
from the mouth of the Tanana river
by rail to Fairbanks.
Since 1914 wheat of hardy variety
has been grown in the Tanana valley,
the period of maturity being ninety
days, and developments have reached
a point where a small mill can be
maintained there successfully.

PEELED to SELL
unless something shall be done to
change the situation those organiza-
tons of such financial strength as
will be ample to carry themselves for
! SIX months or a year will purchase
wheat at the present price and hold
it for such advances as may come
during the year.
Gin my judgment, this condition
may be avoided in one way:
"Let the federal reserve board adj
opt the policy to permit banks to re-
discount wheat paper at the end of 90
days and six and nine months in a
certain definite amount:
"That is, at the end of 80 days, we
may assume that 25 per cent of the
wheat of the year will be naturally
drawn into the consumers market;
then at the end of 80 days, let the
federal reserve banks re-discount to
the extent of rs per cent of the wheat
paper on hand. We may then assume
that during the next quarter, another
25 per cent of the worlds wheat
would have found itself into the
consumers market and at the end of
that period the banks could re-dis-
count paper then on hand to the ex-
tent of 33 1-3 per cent; the same
principle would apply for the sue
ceeding period and at the end of it,
the banks could re-discount to the ex-
tent of so per cent of the amount
still on hand.
"This course would permit the
wheat produced in the country to
pass from the wheat growers to the
consumers in the shortest possible
time and without being held up for
long intervals by middlemen who ex-
pect to enjoy The profits that will
come thru holding the wheat and tax
ing advantage of economic conditions
in six months and a year from now.
''In my judgment for the farmer to
receive low prices for his wheat now
will not mean appreciably lower
prices for bread in the cities either
for the present or in six months from
now. On the other hand, l believe it |
will mean not only less prices for
wheat to the farmer now but greater
prices for the consumer of bread in |
six months from now.
81 am taking the matter up with
the federal reserve banks along the
line indicated herewith and / believe
this is a point of view that is de-
serving of utmost consideration by
the Federal Board"
