Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so'naturally and even ly. 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.

In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring and summer months whet* orders lor 350,000 Ford Cars and Trucks could not be filled. 4> "* This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000 orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly <! Purchase Plan for spring delivery. These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that • orders should be placed immediately wifli Ford Dealers as a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford - Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.

Try This Way To Get Relief From Head Colds Nothing to Swallow — You Just Melt a Little in a Spoon and Breathe in the Healing Vapors. To stop a head cold, try this simple, direct method. Melt a little Vicks in a spoon and inhale the penetrating Vapors of Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Juni per Tar, etc. Also put a littfe up each . nostril and snuff well back. Another method is to heat a tin cup, put in a teaspoonful of Vicks and inhale the vapors that way. As fast as the va pors lose their strength, throw out the melted Vicks and add fresh. Mothers prefer Vicks for their children because it avoids so much internal dosing. It can be used with perfect safety on the youngest child. WICKS ▼ VAPORUB ffveit I7Miujw Jms Useo YtAK7
