es. They are not exactly "new'' regu-
lations, but rather an order from Pope
Plus X to enforce regulations adopted
at the council of Trent In the sixteenth
century.
The order requires that Catholics
shall sign contracts when they engage
TO marry. At present Catholic churches
publish the bans several Sundays be-
fore a wedding. Thi. consists la an
nouncing trvm the pulpit that the
persons are to be married on a certain
date. The new regulations require a
| young man and woman who are en-
gagged to marry to sign a written agree
ment to that effect in the presence of
two Witnesses. The agreement Is bind
ing then, and is announced in church
| After this has been done the young
people must marry, unless they can
give good reason to the bishop Of the
diacese in which the agreement was
signed why it was broken. The bishop
may then enter a dispensation and an
agreement to break the engagement
must be signed by both the directly
Interested parties IN the presence OF
two witnesses. Heretofore the custom
has been to have a marriage contract
signed only when the marriage was
between Catholics and non-Catholios.

poor stands result. Growth is also
checked, owing to slow development
of the root system. Sorghum normal

1t has been said that land which has

lEMTii CURE FOR EklCNESs
Marvellous Results Said to Obtained
If the Diet Is Persisted In for
Six Months.

New remedies for failing hair are
continually cropping up, and by the
hOpelessly bald these remedies are
adopted with confidence. The lentil
cure is the latest.
The lentil cure is applied internally.
The lentils are eaten. Marvellous re-
suits are obtained, according to many
specialists reports, if the cure is fol-
lowed Tor six months.
Lentils are rich in iron, and hence
are good not only for the hair, but for
the blood as well. Pale, thin-haired
folk, after a course of lentils, become
rosy and robust, and their hair grows
vigorously.
Specialists of religious bent point

A FIELD OF AMBER SORGHUM.
and its other FORM still remain the
earliest varieties known In this ccun-
try, where they have been cultivated
for nearly 40 years. They require 70
to 100 days to reach maturity, the time
varying according to the latitude. sea-
son aud soil.
The Early Amber sorghum is charac-
terized by rather slender stalks and
comparatively narrow leaves. The
seed heads, or panicles, are black in
general color and vary considerably in
shape and size. In general. they are
rather loose and open and typically
pyramidal or cone-shaped in outline,
with the slender branches s, reading
and the lower ones dropping as the
seed becomes ripe. The reddish-yellow
seeds are nearly concealed by the shin
ing black glumes, or chaff, 80 that the
color Of the mature panicle is Jet
black
The variety known as Folger, or Fol-
gers Early, is strain of Early Amber
originated as an improved strip variety
and having all the characteristics of
Amber sorghum, being probably equal
ly valuable for forage purposes.
A head of Amber sorghum is shown
in our smaller illustration, while a
portion of field of this crop appears
in the two-column illustration.
Many different methods of preparing
the soil for sorghum are practiced in
various parts of the country In gen.
eral, it may be saia that the land
should receive essentially the same
treatment as if it were to be planted to
corn or cotton. The time and depth of
blowing will necessarily vary accord
ing to the climate, the season and the
character of the soil.
There are two essentials in preparing
the land. One is deep and thoroughly
mellow seed bed and the other is the
greatest possible freedom from weeds.
Both are very necessary to the best.re
suits in strong termination, vigorous
growth and heavy yield.
In its fertilizer requirements sor-
ghum probably does not differ widely
from corn.
AS a general rule, sorghum seed
should be sown later than corr. 1t
should not be sown until the soil has
become quite warm; otherwise there is
danger of losing much of the seed. 1t

and with variety of implements. it
