Supreme Bench Gives Out Finding
in Cotton Case.

An effort to have the Supreme
Court pass upon .he constitutiohaIity
of the cotton futures act failed today

to make payment on certain transac-
tions in cotton.
Browne eonteiided that the trans
actions were gambling and. therefore.
not binding, and further that the
cotton futures act was invalid.
The Supreme Court affirmed the de-
cislon of the lower court in favor

EASY TO DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Rack Color and Lus-
 Ire With Sage Tea and sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so eN enly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- hiesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to- use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen q sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at d time. By morning all gray hair dis appears. and, after another applica- ton or two, your hair becomes beau- tifully darkened glossy and luxuriant
 Gray faded hair, though no dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.
