Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive i with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.1 Whenever her hair took on that du ll,1 faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for “ W yeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you w ill get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for atiout 60 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses W yeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because It darkens so naturally and evenly th a t1 nobody can tell it has been applied— it’s so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw ! it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beau tiful.

The list shows price ranges on nine general classified groups with a spread of $13.85 per cwt. —the lowest at $6.50 and the highest at $20.35. W hy this variation in price? Because the meat from differ ent animals varies greatly in quality and weight. Although the q u o t a t i o n s shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. Barrel the Only Rolling Container. LARGEST FLYING BOAT IN THE WORLD AND ITS DESIGNER A barrel can be rolled. This is its greatest merit. E very other shape of container which weighs over 100 jjounds when filled must be lifted bod ily and carried on a hand truck or by hoisting machinery. One man can un load a carload of sugar— 200 barrels of it— in less than an hour. - Now that censorship has been eliminated, it Is possible to reveal details o f this American flying boat, the largest In the world. The machine was built for the navy by Glenn H. Curtiss and some o f its amazing dimensions are ns follows : The span of the upper wing from tip to tip Is 120 feet ; the depth o f the wings, 12 fe e t; the gup between the upper and lower planes, 12 feet, and the length from the propeller to tall, 70 feet. The boat, known ns the Curtiss N. C. I„ can carry sufficient gasoline and oil to stay aloft for 13 hours and Wanted Tw o Lids. can travel at the rate o f 80 miles an hour, carrying 50 passengers.

One morn and its pilot on a remarkable trial trip. ing when his mother picked up a bis cuit to prepare a sandwich for him Carl caught his mother’s hand affec tionately and said: "Please, mamma, give me two lids.” A s a result o f these differences in cattle prices, (du6 to differences in w eigh ts and m eat qualities), there is a ran ge o f 15 cents in Sw ift & C o m pan y's selling prices o f beef c a r casses. Tools to Make a Rifle. Nine hundred and ninety-seven cut ting tools alone are required in manu facturing a modern rifle. The twist drill is one of the busiest of these. To j supply 1,000,000 rifles, 94,000,000 holes must be drilled. Shrapnel, torpedoes, machine guns, biplanes, motor trucks and anti-aircraft guns require from 70 to 5,000 holes each. These facts explain: Remembered Mother's Answer. • PRESIDENT WILSON IN PARIS GEN. MARCH GETS THE D. S. C. MORRIS BUILDING. 309-311 Stark St. Established Over PORTLAND, ORE.
