meat regarding gray hair:
“Anyone can prepare a simple
i mixture at home that will darken
! gray hair, and make it soft and
; glossy. To a half-pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box
; of Barbo Compound and 1-4 ounce of
; glycerine.
“These ingredients can be pur
chased at any drug store at very lit
tle cost. Apply to the hair twice
a week until the desired shade is
i obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. It does not color the scalp,
, is not sticky or greasy and will not
rub off.”—(Advertisement.)

Merchant Pays for Paper
It is advertising which makes pos

So when you think sometimes that
you pay for the advertising you read

The advertiser pays most of the
price of your paper. Without him
it would cost you ten cents a cony
instead of five cents. —Charles Aus
