SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
p Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture OF Sage Tea and sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
YOU can get this famous old recipe inn
sroved by the addition of other ingre-
dients at a small cost, all ready for use.
II is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time: BY morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
tor II becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustFous.

A closed and open car combined - the
advantages Of both at an open car price!

Surprising mechanical superiority is obvi-
Gus in every mile you drive it. Power,
smoothness, silence you expect in any good
six-cylinder car; but in this great car your
expectations will be exceeded. You cannot
anticipate such performance perfection in
any car even within hundreds of dollars of
the new Studebaker STANDARD Six price.
The proof is easy to establish - drive
it yourself, try it out on your favorite hill,
test its speed on the straight-away. Sense
what cease of operation" really means in
terms of effortless steering, velvety clutch
action, easy gear shifting and instant brake
application.
Experience what real comfort means in
plenty of room, soft deep cushions; genuine
balloon tires; long, supple springs.
The new Standard Six will tell you story
as it has never been told before by any other
car at the Standard Six price.
Whether you are in the market now or
next year-you should see this new Stude-
baker. 1t is a car that will revolutionize
values in the automobile Industry

B. L.
A. According to the War De-
partment, some States are very
careful about the contents of
removal certificates, and Kansas
happens to be one Of these States.
Other States are lax in this mat
ter. While it is believed in your
case that the removal certificate
will be sufficient for the purpose,
this cannot be taken as a general
rule. In most cases, the better
course Is to obtain and send in a
death certificate.

Commissioners Consider CITY
Garage as Part Of One Plan.
Problem Is Growing

Purchase of improved business

Several other plans to solve

'and we are anxious to solve it.

The traffic board of the city.

In the near future, Major Bell

parking situation particularly
whether the District should have
parking stations.
If the Commissioners decide the
responsibility rests with them, then
q public hearing probably will be
called at which the several plans
under consideration will be present

DENIED
Engraving Chief Says Plans
for Reorganization Are
Only Tentative

Reports Of impending changes in
the organization of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing were
heard today, but Major w. W.
Kirby, director of the bureau, de-
MED that any definite plans of re-
organization had been agreed upon.
A report that Major Kirby was
to be made director general of the
institution and that two assistant
directors were to be appointed was
called inaccurate by Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Dewey and
also by Major Kirby.
Plan Is Tentative.
That plan of reorganization ha,
been worked out and Is now under
consideration was not denied. II
has not progressed beyond the ten
tative or experimental stage, how
ever.
1--WE are constantly making small
changes in the organization OF tie
bureau" said Secretary Dewey To-
day. "All of them are experimental
and involve routine matters of al
ministration.
There has been no major plan
Of reorganization fixed upon and all
reports to that effect are misledd
ing. Before Major Kirby's present
term expires in December, | expeC
that a reorganization will have been
effected, but it is too early to talk
about it now"

One report heard today was that
superintendent of Works Deviny
was to be made an assistant III.
rector. 1t was emphasized, how
ever, by officials that discussion OIL

tons to be created was entirely pre-.
mature.

the directoire fashions wigs were
formerly popular. Already behind
the scenes in the beauty shops nu.
merous attempts are being made to
reintroduce wigs.
The end of the bobbed.hair fashion
is seen in the fact that women are
