FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray dull and
lifeless. is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is SO at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been ap-

soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time BY morning the gray

fades with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appllca-
tons, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance OF
abundance.

PRESIDENT HARDING SIGNS oe

BLOCK ACTION ON BILLS.

Washington.-The y-seventh
Congress, which had spent IL greater
proportion of its two-year span of life
in actual session than any other in the
history of the country, adjourned
March 4.
During the last few hours Of the ses-
sion President Harding, spending part
of the time ut the capitol, signed the
farm credits bill and ninety-elght 9TH
er measures. No legislation was We
toed.
When Mr.. Coolidge declared the Sem
ate adjourned without day. Senator
Smith, Democrat, South Carolina
roared goodnight mid laughter.
The final hours in the House were
more colorful. The Marine orchestra,
playing in the well We'd for favor
with Il hastily organized quartet of
members whose rendition of old favor
ties soon drew into IL mighty chorus,
the entire House and most Of the spec
tators who overflowed the galleries on
to the floor.
Crowds witnessed the closing scenes,
the adjournment and presence Of Pres
ident Harding, cabinet officers, diplo-
mats and other high officials bringing
out hundreds who packed the Senate
and House galleries.
The last bill to become law, was the
better butter measure, changing but
terfat standards. An important meas
ure placed on the statute books at the
last moment was the one providing for
return to enemy alien owners of all
seized property worth $4,000 or less.
The waning hours of the Sixty.
seventh Congress were troubled with
II preadjournment wrangle that gave
IN extraordinary touch to the final
season of swan songs and farewells
to men and measure.
Night sessions were held by boil
Senate and House to clear away tn,
last real Legislative business.
Both branches of Congress wen
nigh speed on their last working day
until the snag of filibustering devel
oped. Among the measures put
through were the $156, 100000 def
cheney appropriation bill, the Sweet bill
for war veterans relief, "A Senate reso-
luton ordering an investigation of the
gold and silver industry and II resolu.
tion continuing the $240 bonus for gov.
eminent employees.
The administration proposal for
American representation on the world
court was definitely laid to rest until
The new Congress convenes next De.
cember. The farm credits measure
was held waiting most of the day while
a doubleheaded filibuster in both Sen
ate and House ragged over the Senate
resolution providing $10,O00.O00 for
purchase of fertilizer. House leaders
had held up the resolution and its
supporters retaliated by provoking u
filibuster of hours that tied House
procedure in a knot.
In the course of the day, however,
and curing the evening, scores of min
or bills squeezed under the wire and
others received their death blows.

MYTH the passage of the rural
Wv credits bill the last session of
the Sixty-seventh congress practi-
cally closed its business, and when
final adjournment came hat measure
stood out as the one big accomplish
ment of the lawmakers during the en-
tire session. OF course, the usual sup
ply bills had been. put through. and N
Of them, for the army, unfortunately
carried the usual pork feature for riv-
ers and harbors. despite the efforts of
the administration. Congress this time
has done little which it can point to
with pride, and this is said without
partisanship for both parties are to
blame.
The farm bloc, backed by Secretaries
Hoover and Wallace, had its way in
the matter of farm credits legislation,
for the Capper bill as passed included
the important features of the Lenroot-
Anderson bill which Secretary Mellon
and many members of the house bank
ing and currency committee did not
like. One amendment adopted by the
house extends the life of the War
1924. During the debate on h meas
ure Representative Burton of Ohio de
nounced the plan for the formation of
intermediate credit banks attached to
the federal land banks involving the
use Of S60,000.000 in government funds
as provided In the Lenroot-Anderson
part of the composite bill. Too much
borrowing and too much credit had
been one of the causes of the difficult
ties of the farmer, he asserted. He
said ne spoke from experience as a
banker during the war period.
