AN OLD RECIPE
I TO DARKEN HAIR
SAGE Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when, faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
oet This mixture was to make it at

tie of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
oTeoaration now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
lair. as it does it so naturally and even
iy. You 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, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

Banker Sees Hopeful
Change of Sentiment
R. L. Saville Is Optimistic as to Con-
ditions Here Next Fall.

ut takes no unusual powers of OBJ
servation to notice that there has been
pronounced change in sentiment re
garding business conditions all over
the country" said Mr.. R. L. Saville,
president of the Dawson National
bank, in an interview yesterday.
In the country and in the city
things are looking up and unless some
thing unforeseen occurs there should
be a stimulation in all lines of business
this fall.
The shift to optimism quite natural
~ started in the agricultural districts,
but since agriculture is admittedly the
basic industry of the country this was
not long in communicating itself to
the urban centers Of population.
Naturally. much OF the money
which comes to the farmers will be
used in cleaning up old Obligations
but this will have beneficial effect in
strengthening the credit situation, and
with increased purchasing power and
better credit conditions there should
be trade revival that will be shared
by all.
1--WE have heard a great deal about
remedial legislation designed to hell
the farmer, and, by helping the farm
/ er. the rest of us, too. 1t now appear
that much more efficient remedle
have been supplied by nature will
good crops, and the results are certain
to be much more far-reaching anC
permanent in their effects than any
man-made expedients.
Il am inclined to think that we viii
all be able to look back at 1924 as thu
year when equilibrium was restored
and real progress was made toward ;
well distributed and general prosper

Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

Here's the latest suggestion for
breaking the deadlock.
Give every listener who has heard
minimum OF twenty ballots vote.
And then have Graham Nc
Names name put IN nomination.
It II predicted that he would
win the choice by 4 cool million
votes.
His qualifications for the office
are summed up by his self-app pointed
McNamee would make an IDEAL
President. He Is always on the
job and always knows what it's
all about.
He Il neither seen nor heard ex.
cept when something needs straight
ening out. He never butts in" just
to be Quitting"
He could speak to all his citi-
Gems every morning from the White
House and give them o little advice
on how to get through the day. Il.
He has a good sense Of humof
and a smile. He never gets mad.
His voice already IL better known
to the nation than that Of any
Of the candidates now running for
the Democratic nomination.
And he could be relied on to
give the listeners what they want.
Should this suggestion not be &C.
ceptable, the fact remains, never.

big job well.

ENGLISH SCIENTIST TELLS
or POWER or ATOM

Atoms and the atomic structure
have come to the attention Of
the radio engineers so much Of late
that Il IL interesting to note what
one distinguished English scientist,
Doctor #. w. Aston, has to say on
the power contained in these atoms.
It Is practical certainty, he re-
marked, that four neutral atoms Of
hydrogen gas weigh more than one
neutral atom Of helium gas, though
they contain the same fundamental
units. II we could transmute four
atoms Of hydrogen into one atom Of
heliun, matter would be DESTROYED.
This would release an almost in
conceivable amount OF power. A
pint Of water, could the hydrogen
In It be converted into helium.
would propel the Mauritania across
the Atlantic and back at full speed.
a half drop Of water inside q
vacuum tube would operate the
tube, without batteries, for several
human lifetimes.
