SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hun dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix lure, you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth'l Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" now because 1t darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv

 In Corporation Taxes

Washington, July 2S.-Tax revision got into House debate today with | prediction by Representative Garner of Texas. ranking democrat on ths ways and means committee. that the republican majority of that commit tee would make few changes in the existing revenue law, leaving to the Senate the task of perfecting the tax measure. Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, the republican leader countered with the declaration that the House would send to the Sen ate the best possible product of our Judgment"
 Specifically, MT. Garner said the House committee would provide only for repeal of the excess profits tax. reduction in the sur taxes to a maximum of 25 to 35 per cent, and an increase in the taxes on corpora : tions. He said all other taxes in the present law probably would be left as at present.
 Supplementing his declaration to the House, MT. Garner said later that iilS AilOl was lHdl LHc IepQD- licans planned to offer the few changes he had outlined as "feeler' to the country and that the Senate finance committee would redraft the tax bill in the light of the reaction noted during the proposed recess of Congress.
 What Is To Happen
 Representative Mondell told the House that what was to happen, as he understood it. was that the ways and means committee would carefully consider the question of revenue. re- port bill "in due time after delib- eration," which could be "considered in the House in such form and man ner as may be determined upon aftex full consultation by the majority in conference."
 Tax debate came between the two committee sessions today at which a number of additional witnesses ap- peared asking for repeal of various taxes. Chairman Fordney plans to close the public hearings tomorrow and to begin drafting the bill after two or more days of executive hear ings next week. At that time treas ury and internal revenue experts will be heard.

STREET EXPLODES
 FIRST VOLLEY IN
 RA|NEY CONTEST
Fails to Impress Either Re- publican or Democratic Members of Elections
 Committee, However
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 500 Davidson Building

Washington, July 2S.-Special. )-- o. D. Street of Guntersvilre, national republican committeeman, exploded the first gun this afternoon in the con- test of Charles Kennamer against l.. B. Rainey. for the representation of the Seventh Alabama district in the Congress of the United States.
 MT. Streets argument was based In the main on the allegations contained in Kennamer's brief that the gover- nor, the legislature of Alabama, and the registrars of the Seventh district had conspired to the end that repub- llcan women of the Seventh district would not have opportunity to regis ter and vote in the election.
 MT. Streets impression was not inn pressive either on republican or dem ocratic members of the election committee. several members of which subjected him to interrogations which apparently filled him with embarrass- ment.
 The argument in behalf of the in- cumbent. Representative Rainey, will be presented tomorrow by O. R. Hood of Gadsden. The indications tonight following the address of MT. Street, are that the democratic incumbent will be vindicated by an unanimous vote of the committee.
 The initiation of the contest how ever, was the occasion for the coming to Washington of innumerable Ala bama republicans; among whom there were in addition to Street. Pope M. Long, the other Alabama referee. and W. E. Snead of Boaz, who It is under stood, will be presented as the choice of the referees for the post of col lector of internal revenue, Snead Is brother Jaw to Street, incidentally.

BIC CHANGES IN
 ACREAGE RATIOS
Almost n Million Acres Cut From Cotton, Rice. and
 Tobacco Acreage
Ny Associated Press

Washington. July 2S.--An unpre- cedented change in the ratios of the
 acreage devoted to leading crops in the cotton belt has been shown this
 year the department of agriculture says, declaring the almost 1l.000. 900 acres have been cut from the cotton. rice and tobacco acreage, and slightly less than two-t thirds of this area has been taken up with wheat, corn. oats. hay, potatoes and other crops. The larger part of the remainder of the land has gone back to pasture or Is left idle. The net reduction of land in cultivation in the cotton states still leaves a larger acreage in cui- tivation, however, than before the war. the department states.
 In the 10 leading cotton states, North Carolina, South Carolina. Geor- gia. Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana. Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, the cotton acreage this year has been re- duced 10,194,000 acres or 2s per cent tn rice acreage reduced 450.000 acres, or B per cent and the tobacco acre. age 262,O00 acres, or 32 per cent.
 These reductions which were due to the unsatisfactory prices for last years crop resulting from financial deflation, coupled with heavy stocks and lessened buying" the department states, fare partly offset by in creases in the acreage of staple food and feed crops in those states
 Corn shows a gain of 4,521 .000 acres, or IS per cent; wheat 607,00D acres of 10 per cent. oats 740.000 acres, or IS per cent; hay 413.000 acres or 5 per cent; sorghum and cane 7s,000 acres or 10 per cent; and pota- toes 123.000 acres, or 10 per cent; a total net increase in these six crops of 6.4S3.000 acres Further offsets to the remaining difference of 4,423,- poo acres exist in increased plantings of COW peas. coy beans, velvet beans and other less important crops. Ala bama alone reported increased plant ings of 834,000 acres of the three crops named, but these are largely planted in with corn and are, there fore, included in the acreage of that. cron''
