You can turn gray, fadd hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get a 50-cnt bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
at any drug store. . Millions of bottles of
this old famous Sage Tea Racipe, im
proved by the addition of other ingredi
ents, are sold annually, says a well
known druggist here, because it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it lias been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise awaiting
them, because after one or two applica
tions the gray hair vanishes and your
ocks become luxuriantly dark and beau
tiful. This is the age of youth. Gray-haired,
unattractive folks aren't wanted around,
so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound to-night and you'll be de

and your youthful appearance within a
few days.

The car famine still pinches. Many
business ttrms are inconvenienced
and business is still .being held back
by the inability of railroads to hold
back the business offered. So great
is the shortage of equipment that the
Burlinpton and other Nebraska
roads coutinue, to use stock cars for
transportation of merchandise on
short hauls. Kvery available car is
pressed into service and at times the
inability to secure as many cars as
are needed causes congestion in the
freight houses.
In some places automobile dealers
have considered taking a bunch of
drivers to the factories in the east
to bring carB to till orders. One deal
er has figured on chartering a car to
lake drivers to Detroit and using
them to bring cars back. It has
been figured that a considerable sav
ing can be made on the freight but
in Ketiinn the cars between uine hun
dred and a thousand inilea will be
registered up on the new cars. This
will be some drawback In selling
them but with buyers clamoring for
cars this will not be so serious a
feature as It might be if buyers were
more difficult to find.
Some railroad men do not profess
to see a great deal of relief in sight
for some time. One says: "It took
I good many months for the rail
roads to get into the shape they now
find themselves. By the same token
I figure that it will take them a great
many months to get out of it. Still
conditions should be better after a
while if the roads live up to the
new rules fairly close."
