Easy To Darken
Your Gray Hair
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus-
tire 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 other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" 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 an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
and looks years younger.

Federal Fuel Administrator sees
No Relief Next Winter.

Consumers of coal, whether anthracite
or bltuminous. need expect no decrease in
prices from the extortionate level at which
they were held last fall and winter, accord
ing TO Federal Fuel Administrator F. r.
Wadleigh. an appointee Of President Hard
ing. The position of Fuel Administrators
was created with the object of removing
some of the difficulties of supply cost ex-
perienced by consumers last winter.
Mr.. Wadleigh entertains no hope that
the United States Coal Commission, estab-
lished last autumn to investigate the pro-
duction, transportation and cost OF coal
and recommend legislation to regulate out
put and prices. will be able to accomplish
anything to make fuel more plentiful or
cheaper. II will be futile for users of coal
to wait for any action by the Commission,
Mr.. Wadleigh believes.
"While constructive recommendations.
based on an immense collection of data.
will undoubtedly be made in the report o.
the Commission" says Wadleieh, lit is
pointed out that no legislative action can
be taken until Congress meets in Deem
Der"
II Mr.. Wadleigh's gloomy forecast is full
filled by events. the consumer Of coal may
begin TO accommodate himself as best he
can to the task Of paying from SIG to $26
ton for anthracite-if he can get it-next
winter as he did last, and be glad that he
receives coal instead of rocks and slate as
was the experience of hundreds of buyers
In New York. New Jersey. Rhode Inland,
Connecticut and Massachusetts.
This official announcement from the
Presidents own appointee makes it clear
that the incompetence Of the Harding ad-
ministration and its failure to take any
action to protect the public during the coal
strike last year will compel the people Of
the northern section of the country to en-
dure shortage of fuel, extortionate prices,
and painful hardships for the second time
within two years.
