DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1921.

The talks in this city last evening by Mt. Stump and Mr. Mulholland were interesting and provided information that we are sure our people wanted. If the facts as stated are true and we are convinced they are. the utilities should feel free to tell the public the exact conditions all the time. They will find the peoplewill be fair to them when they understand the conditions. Even the most ardeut Beveridge men will have to admit that Senator New Is making headway with his organization and that he is going to be so barricaded that it will take the heavy guns to get through. With the republican state committee and their aides in each county and district lined up, with Governor McCray, McArdle, Hogan and others support-

■ Ing him, It begins to look like a etone I wall. ■** !LBL After all how many would like to do without the conveniences furnished by public utilities? This would in'elude telephones, gas, electricity, water, street cars and other things which make for speed and lighten the duties of many. The companies producing thoae things prove beyond 1 question of doubt that they have been having a hard time and though millions are invested the returns have tailed during the past few years to i meet expenses. This makes it Unpossible to maintain credit and the outlook a'few months ago was ser- »• . ious Indeed. Just now the outlook is brighter and while there is no desire Ito increase rates, the managers of these concerns feel they should be given the right to earn a fair return on the inventory as fixtd by the state j commission. At least they have a side to their story that any fair mindI ed man will listen to. A

AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN NAIR Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray Hair Dark and Youthful at Once. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streacked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at borne, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. 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 hiar disappears and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.
