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

!. Hair that loses its color and lus-
ire, or when 1t fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by a
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 beauti-
full dark shade of hair which is SO
attractive, use only this old-time
recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound" which darkens the hair 80
naturally, SO evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell 1t has been ap-
piled. 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 the
gray hair disappears; but what de.
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also
brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance Of
abundance.

RAD|OPUBL|C|TY
. LITTLE VALUE,
SAYSSTAR

NEW YORK, March 13-The value
Of radio publicity Is questioned by
no less a luminary than Eddie Can.
tor.
"Only the cheapest vaudeville &C.
tors are anxious to broadcast in the
hope Of obtaining a little publicity"
said Mr.. Cantor But. even, the ad-
vertising by radio will not make
people go to see a poor show. A
performer must be good in himself
to put his act over. If mere broad
casting were responsible for popu-
larity, the singers who broadcast re-
peatedly from a certain station in
the white light. district should be
the most highly paid stars on Broad
way"
This statement was made by the
star Of kid Boots" in recent in
terview. He is an ardent radio fan
himself, and is in close touch with
the breadcasting situation in its re-
lation to the actor. Even as ne
hurriedly changed his clothes for
the next act he took time to tune
a very unusual six-tube portable set
on the dressing table. A small
loud speaker filled the room with
the strains of a jazz band, and al

all music and song, the famous
comedian showed that he really Ell.
joyed the program.
A request for an opinion on the
recently created fund for the pay
ment Of operate and stage stars
opened a subject that apparently
was close to the heart of Mr.. Can
tor. He expressed his hearty APP
prevail of the plan, and said that he
personally would be willing to con-
tribute a few dollars If he and his
family could hear opera singers by
radio. When asked how he as a
professional entertainer regarded the
plan, he was just as approbative.
Mr.. Cantor went on to explain
that If he were approached by the
officials of a broadcasting station
he would demand payment, not to
himself directly, but to some worthy
charity. He was very emphatic in
this matter, for he pointed out that
as long as the broadcasting stations
were being .recompensed for their
services, either directly or indirectly,
there was no reason why the ones
who actually rendered the programs
should not be similarly paid.

SCANDAL
SEEN AS WET
IMPETUS
BootIegger to Justify His
Operations by Higherup's
Says Educator.
BY CHESTER b. Balm,
International News service.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. March 49,
The Teapot Dome scandal at Wash
ington will give new impetus to
boOtlegging, declared DR.. William p.
Baker, regent of the University OF
the State of New York. DR.. Baker
says:
"There isn't a bootlegger in the
country who will not see in this a
justification of his business. He
will suggest that If the 'topliners'
are getting theirs, there isn't a rea-
son in the world why he shouldn't
be getting his share, too. And we
have quite enough .lawlessness as
it is.
at is not true, however. that
there is more corruption and thiev-
cry in public office than in private
life. When a man goes wrong in
business the whole. tendency is to
cover 1t up and to give him another
chance. If this can't be done, of
course he has to take the cOnSe-
quences.
I'm public life, on the contrary,
when a man goes wrong everybody
knows about it sooner or later.
Somebody probably will have to go
to the penitentiary In this Teapot
Dome situation, and the Govern.
ment undoubtedly will win its court
actions, as it usually has habit of
doing. But there will be tendency
to keep this thing in the limelight
until all of us are sick Of it, and
Congress has altogether too much
other business to attend to.
las q matter of fact, the veterans
bureau scandal is far worse in many
respects, for that was stealing
money from our crippled and in.
valided soldiers. Still the Teapot
Dome matter has gotten the inside
track of the public mind, and the
other isn't getting the attention it
deserves !"
