SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-tirne Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-.
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at homo Is mussy and
out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
win get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

BURNED COTTON
is BEING SAL vAGED
NUMBER OF BALES IN WARE
HOUSE FIRE CORRECTLY
REPORTED BY NEWS.

Adjusters representing companies
that had insured cotton in the Planters
warehouse, which was totally Destroy
ed by fire a week ago, came to Daw-
son two or three days later and took
charge of the charred bales. They ar
ranged with a salvage company to
save as much of the cotton as possible,
and for week water has been thrown
on it in an effort to quenCh the tlre
still burning in the bales. 1t is not be-
lieved that any considerable amount of
the cotton can be saved. 1t is remark
able that not one of the bales was en-
tirely destroyed. The number of bales
reported by The News as having been
stored in the warehouse at the time of
the fire has been confirmed. Of 1900
only about $50 were saved instead OF
200 as first reported. The amount of
insurance held on the cotton is yet
undetermined, as all records were burn
ed. 1t has developed that Messrs. Hill
& Hill, proprietors of the warehouse,
had no insurance on the building, and
their loss is complete.
Many farmers had no insurance on
their cotton at all, and their loss falls
heavy on them.

Food Pirates Drop
Prices in Chicago
After Ban Threat

CHICAGO, April Chicago res
taurant proprietors today began
slashing prices following an agree
ment reached with city officials.
The city, weary Of mild methods
and appeals to the patriotism Of the
proprietors, threatened to pass an
ordinance that would forbid the
issuance Of a restaurant license to
any but American citizens. This
would have hit vast chains of eat
ing places owned and operated ex-
clusively by Greeks and Italians and
would also have dealt a body blow
to the numerous chop suey joints,
so the foreign proprietors came into
camp.
At the conference today the city's
representatives cited the fact that
sugar. lard, nour. and fruits, vege-
tables, bread coffee and meats have
dropped 10 to $50 per cent, but the
restaurants are still charging peak
prices and said this hoggish atti-
tude must be abandoned at once or
the pronteers would be forced out
OF business. II did not take long
for the food gougers to decide they
would accept the city's ultimatum.
