LADIES DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sui
phur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractlve. 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 mussv 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out OF date.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 addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon 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 damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

that 1t no longer recognizes the Anal

In statement announcing this move
William Bandler, president of the
Manufacturers association, committed

E!GHT-HOUR DAY
IN Steel MILLS
Change From Present Twelve
Hour Shift Is Urged on
Employers.
CHANGE WOULD COST LITTLE
Expert Points to Increased Efficiency
Meaning Greater Output, as Ger
tain Result of Shorter HoursAHu-
man and Civic Values Involved.

The economic necessity for 12-hour
time, with surplus of labor, fol
steel plants to change to three shifts,
said Horace B. Drury, economist, be-
fore a New York meeting of engineers
ana technicians
Mr.. Drury said the expense of chang
ing from a twelve-hour to an eight
hour shift would be slight, and that if
the entire steel industry-blast fur
naces, steel works and rolling mills
went on three shifts without any in
crease in efficiency, it could not add
more than per cent to the total cost
of making the finished steel product.
Some of the twenty American COM
panies that have adopted the three
shift system in the last few years
have made no great change in operat-
ing methods, he said, and accordingly
costs are somewhat higher than before
the change. But others have taken
advantage of the new system to cut
out unnecessary positions, to strive
for greater output and to require
greater care on the part of the men.
The result has been that costs are but
f.f}H higher than under the old plan.
" the largest companies, the
r'e4 o. said, have increased their la
Enr force only 30 to 80 per cent in
putting on the extra shift
Mr.. Drury added that the human
and civic values involved in changing
from twelve to eight hours work are
more important than the financial and
operating difficulties of the change.
