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 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 a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
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

EDITORIAL
GET 1T OUT OF THE OLD SOCK
AND LET 1T WORK.


A STATEMENT, amazing in the
= extreme to many persons no
doubt, and one which should cause
people to pause and think, was made
at the meeting Of the bankers of
Southwest Georgia at cambridge
yesterday by Robert E. Harvey, Of
Atlanta, representing the War
Finance corporation as secretary Of
the Agricultural Loan Committee for
Georgia and Florida. This statement
was that SIS 900, 900 had been with
drawn from the banks of Georgia
and deposited in the old sock at
home.
Amazing is a weak word to fit
such statement. Yet it comes from
an authority. It's significance may
be gathered when it is considered
that this amount of money was ac-
tually withdrawn from circulation
in this state in time when an acute
contraction of finances was on, add
ing vastly to the troubles we already
had among US. 1t meant that at least
$4,000, 000--a sum that would com
pei attention, indeed, if not INTO
circulation in this or any other sin
gle state in short time-of what
ever amount of money came into
Georgia during the stress in the form
of loans of one kind and another
was completely offset in its practical
value by the practice Of timid per
sons taking their money out Of cir
culation and hiding it, like the I'M
profitable servant with his talent in
the scripture.
Of course, there has been a reas-
on, an answer. According TO Mr..
Harvey, the greatest tragedy Of the
recent period of stress has been the
deflation of public confidence in the
banks. And he called upon the bank
ers to let the people know about
themselves and their business, what
powerful agencies of the government
(Which means the people themselves
T. such as the war finance corpora
ktion, were behind them, and how.
aafe-guarded by our present laws and
fortified by the power Of the govern
hent, the only really safe place for
money is in the banks.
Sumter county has its share Of hid
den-out, Stacker money. Every few
days now someone turns up with a
package Of carefully folded or tight
iy pressed bills, which show unmis-
taxable signs Of having lain for some
time IN place Of concealment. In
other cases men without bank ac-
counts will appear with varying large
sums in cash that they were not
known to have, because it was their
own secret.
The people evidently now believe
the storm is over and are showing
signs of coming out of the cyclone
cellar. Confidence is returning. So
to all those who have hidden cash we
would offer this bit of advice:
A way to lend tremendous impetus
to the return Of prosperity is to help
swell the bank deposits Of your COM
munity. This will mean more plenti-
tul money, and money in plenty
means cheaper money. Cheap money
means expansion of credit and de
velopment, and development means
work for all, good wages and pros
perity.
Americas has some splendid finan-
cial institutions, all Of them a credit
to this or any community. Let's get
the money out of those old family
socks and put it where it belongs
where it will be safest, and where if
will do us and the community some
real good
