EASY ID DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color ahd Lustre 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 evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- ton of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dts- grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attrac- tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.

Naval Survey of Alaska.

 Plans of the Navy Department for a survey of Alaskan waters for the purpose of determining the feasibility of either organizing the Territory into naval district selecting strategic place for an advanced naval base emphasizes the importance of the Northand a factor in the peace of the Pacific By taking advantage of the opportunity offered for national defense in the northern possession, the country will put itself in better state of prepared- ness, and. in strengthening itself where it is ad- mitedy weak. it will reduce it's vulnerability tack and thereby discourage efforts aggression. The thoroughness of the proposed quest for in- formation is evidenced by the fact that it will be John " Chase commander of the fleet base force; that three naval vessels which will have aboard several arpanes will be detailed for the oxpedi- tion, and that ninety days will be spent in making the survey The task will require all the energy and time that be devoted to it. The coastal line of Alaska is greater than that of any State other Territory in the Union It's extent along the mainland is 4,750 miles and, including islands it totals 26, ,364.

 While the Navy in the immediate future may not be in position to put into effect its plans for Alaska establishments, Rear Admiral Chases mission ndi- cates an intention o defer longer the requirement of sites for shore stations Without doubt the Navy officer after his voyage north will be able to advise as to the necessary and available sites and as most if not all, of them may be reserved from land still under the control of the government, the Federal authorities be expected to make selection without delay.

INVESTMENTS AND ENGINEERING SKILL

American capital, ingenuity, and engineering skill have broken Eurcpcs grip the markets of Latin America Dr. Julius Klein, Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department Of Commerce. declared last week before the National Foreign Trade Council in session in New Orleans
 Shortly after the Armstice the lowered of production in Europe threatened seriously to regain for European manufacturers the Latin American mar kets to which the United States had naturally fallen heir during the period of the Every weapon of commerce known to the centuries-experienced mer- chants of the old world employed support this advantage. Statements palayer of the cultivated in Europe brand broadcased from thousands of trained tongues promised prices, deliveries. qualities which seemed certain to chase the American and his goods from the southern trade
 The vigorous onslaught did for a time seriously affect our trade relations. Some of the smaller Am 'rican houses were forced to close their doors Now, however the tide has turned.
 Throughout Latin America, with the single ex- cepton of Mexico, our exports for the last quarter of 1922 showed an increase. and frequently a very material increase, over those of the corresponding year of 1921. Our exports to Mexico were larger than for any other year than 1921

 In brief the bill provided that none but persons able to read and write the English language should nave the privilege Of voting at Territorial elections Cefaln politicians who have heretofore proted by tho indian and icrate vote lobbied against the bill and il killed.

Ever Think of 1t?

The old treating habit is one thing that hasn't survived prohibition. There isn't any place for it these dry days If you wore to ask a man to come in and have an ice cream soda with you he probably would have you rushed to the Probate Court and you'd be in the playhouse instanter. Of course there are other things a man might treat to you. in his desire to be sociaIble. For instance, he might be headed for the barber show and say, Come on in and have a hair cut, shave and shampoo with me. . And then ycu could treat him to one, and then hc'd buy again, etc. This would enable more barbers to own swell cars.

increase the prestige of the name
Studebaker which, for II years, has

that further enhance the value of a
line of cars already highly perfected.
1t is common knowledge in the steel
industry that Studebaker uses only
the highest grades of the finest steels.
And the same is true of the electrical
equipment, instruments, bearings, bat

tires and accessories used in Stude-
