SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

You can turn gray. faded hair beau
dfully dark and lustrous almost over
night If you'll get q bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition OF other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have q surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantIy
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around. so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
tonight and you'll be delighted with
your dark, handsome hair and your
youthful appearance within a few
days.
This preparation is a toilet requisite
and Is not intended for the cure. miti-
cation or prevention of disease.

ADVERTISING BEST
Cred Lodge Probationary


The thinning bulk of the magazines
on the various newsstand tells story
more eloquent than words can des-
cribe. The story is one of business
and the turning of national advertis-
ers to the one best bet, in the adver-
tising game at all times-the news
papers. Experience in the present
crisis has taught business firms that
every dollar spent for advertising
brings back intangible returns, and
now as lii the past, they find that the
newspapers furnish the one certain
and steady medium of returns.
The dropping out Of magazine ad-
vertising has in some instances been
almost panicky, and neither large nor
small publications, nor vaunted cir
culations running into millions made
any difference. The magazines had
simply failed to meet the test of busi-
ness successfully when the real test
came. The past several months has
shown foreign advertising to be pick
ing up in the newspapers rather than
IdlllLS Oll, dIkC WIFI DuSlueSS plChluR
up we may expect a further call upon
the columns of the papers by adver-
tisers.
1t should be source OF pride and
satisfaction to local advertisers to
know that in the real test of business
newspapers have stood up best of all,
and from a business standpoint the
drawing power Of newspaper adver-
tising is no longer questioned; it is
an established fact. AS the famous
breakfast food advertiser used to say,
there's a reason"
With the advent of the automo-
bile, billboard advertising is no long
er read and is now considered a posi-
tive menance where it obstructs clear
view of highway. Farmers no long
er nail sale bills on the side of their
barn for calves and pigs to look at,
but use newspapers for advertising
their wares.

A SANE LOAN PRINCIPLE.

Investment of American capital in
foreign securities will be of a good
thing provided the investment be
guarded in such way that we are
sure the money will not be used to
the disadvantage of the United States.
1t would do the United States little
good, for example, to loan money for
the development of a South American
republic if that money is to be spent
in Europe for supplies which furnish
employment for European labor while
there are several million men out Of
employment in the United States.
1t would be folly to let American cap
ital be loaned to Japan, to take an
other illustration, if Japan is to use
the money to build up a formidable
navy which the United States will be
compelled to match by increased ex-
penditures for a similar purpose of
our own.
Almost every banker who loans a
considerable sum to one Of his pat
rOnS wants to know what is to be
done with the money. He has a right
to know, for the desirability of the
loan depends to a large extent upon
the purpose for which the money is
to be used. The principle that ap-
plies in local financing applies with
even more force in international fl
nancing.

for counsel" is a fire suggestion.
There must be men in London who
learned draw poker from the great
warrior and statesman, General Rob
ert Cumming Schenck, United States
ambassador to the court of st. James
from 1870 to 1876. Only half a cell
tury has elapsed. We don't believe
any Englishman who played with
Bob" Schneck would think for a mo-
ment of draw poker being anything
but a game of skill.
AS matter of fact, it is a game
of skill, though, as in all card games,
luck enters it as a temporary factor.
In the long run the skilfull player
wins out.
What has confused the London po-
lice is the fact that the skill Of this
particular game lies not in the cards
themselves or the handling of them,
but in the psycho-analysis practiced
on the prairies and in the mining
camps long, long before the word was
invented. A game of draw poker is
a microcosm of the business competi-
ton of comlex civilization. The man
who keeps his temper, knows when
to stay out and when to come in, and
estimates correctly the strength or
weakness of others when he does come
in, is the good poker player. Bluff is
no more part of the game than it
is part of business. Likewise, not
playing with crooks is.a good rule in
each field.
If the London clubs are insistent on
their rights the police will have to
back down. They haven't leg to
stand on. That is clear enough to
every American mind.

THE GRAIN COMMISSION IN

The royal grain commission ap-

to investigate the handling and mar

great work it has undertaken. Start

ters. Meanwhile, from its headquar-
ters in Winnipeg, the commission has
issued a series of q1estionnaires, to
the various interests involved, to
which ought to render available a
great mass of most useful informa-
tion.
There has been much speculation as
to the object of the government m
instituting such an elaborate investi-
cation, widespread belief being that
the authorities intend, ultimately, to
place the grain business under state
control. However this may be, there
can be no doubt that the growth of
an opinion among farmers in favor of
cooperative marketing and the for
nation of a national wheat pool has
greatly influenced the government to
take decisive action. Thus, at a meet
ing of the United Farmers of Alber-
ia, at Edmonton, a few months ago,
the utmost confidence was expressed
in the ability and willingness of the
farmers organizations of the differ
ent provinces to create a voluntary
cooperative system of marketing
grain such as would remedy the in
juries in the open markets. One of
the speakers at this convention, Mr..
j. R. Murray, assistant general man
ager of the United Grain Growers,
describing the plan for a voluntary
wheat pool, declared that certain
things were essential to it's success.
At least go per cent, of possible Is
per cent, of the wheat acreage of Can
ada should be signed up for the pool {;
