ALASKA TO FURNISH
PRINT PAPER TO u. 5.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Nego-
tiations are under way which are ex-
pected to initiate the establishment
of an important industry in South
ern Alaska capable Of furnishing
perpetually a large proportion OF
print paper demands Of the United
States. Secretary Wallace Of the
Department Of Agriculture expects
soon to sign contracts with a num-
Der of responsible concerns for the
purchase OF Fulpwood from Alaska
National Forests and for the alloca-
ton of Water-power sites through vhe
Federal Power commission for the
purpose of manufacturing both pulp
wood and paper. On The Tongass
National Forest, it is estimated there
IS a source of supply OF timber which
can furnish perpetualIy an annual
yield of print paper equal to one
third Of the,stotal national consump-
ton Of the United States. The in
dustry when established will be upon
q permanent basis with Jaw material
at a reasonable price.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractiVeness

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautl-
fully dark and luXuriant. Just a lew
applications will prove a revelation If
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome:
An easier way is to get bottle OF
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it SO naturally,
so evenly. 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
hairs have disappeared, and, after ans
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.

NEW YORK, Jan. Is. - Ellen
O'Byrne loved an Irish tune.
That love and a little bundle of
clothes was all that she had when,
an immigrant girl of IS, she landed
in this country.
Today Ellen O'Bryne Dewitt owns
property valued at 100000. She has
started four of her brothers and sis
tiers brought over from the old coun-
try, on the way to material success,
and has put her two sons through
schools and established them in bust
ness.
New Yorks thriftiest oman they
call her down on Third avenue,
where the handsome gray-haired wo-
man presides over the destinies' of
what is now a thriving music store.
Twelve years ago Mrs. Dewitt,
after having weathered somewhat
more than the usual number of life's
storms, found herself stranded with
500 in her pocket and a young and
hungry son clinging to each hand.
Then she remembered the tunes
she had loved back home. She took
her hundred dollars and started an
Irish music store.
All day long she kept the store. At
night she would get her boys supper,
help them with their lessons and put
them to bed. Then she would mend
their clothes, straighten her house
and do the family washing. In the
morning she would hang out the
washing, cook the breakfast and get
the boys off to school. At 8 o'clock
she would be down to her storekeep-
ing.
The store continued to prosper.
When the lease expired Mrs. Dewitt
bought the building. 1t seemed TO

Don't ask for. charity. Then
you'll never find out how cold the
world is.
Don't gossip.
Do something useful every min
ute. If there's nothing else to do
one can always sew. Until my
boys went into long trousers |
made every bit of their clothing.
Use good English. 1t gives peo-
PIE a better impression of you. l
taught myself good English by
listening to others speech.
Read books that deal with thrift
and with successful men and wo-
men. They put backbone into you.
Sentimental novels take it away.
Save! But save judiciously.
Spend the same way. Don't try
to get rich quick but if you've
got good idea, fight for it. l
