Armstrong, Engineer, Belleville, Ont,
August 81, 1909.
To every reader of The Sun the
American makers of Partisan Sage
wish to emphatically state that they
do not guarantee Partisan Sage to
grow hair on bald heads. because In
the great majority of cases the hair
roots are absolutely dead and not
even the wonderful virtue of Partisan
Sage can resurrect them.
Mr., Armstrong started to use
Partisan Sage in time. before the hair
root was entirely dead and in such
case there is no good reason why
Partisan Sage should not restore his
hair.
w. ]. Gilbert guarantees Partisan
Sage to remove every trace of dand-
rum stop falling hair and itching
scalp in two weeks or money back,
but he does not guarantee It to grow
hair on bald heads.

wlfe.Made Men.

The first passion Of woman is her
love for her children. Is that true?
If 1t is true, her second passion is
her desire to make man of her hus-
band. We hear much about self-made

in the world-the greatest In states.
manship, science. art and literature
have freely acknowledged their In
debtedness to women. Perhaps to
their wives they are indebted-pos-
sibly to other women.
A wise wife is she who completely
fills her function, being comrade and
source of inspiration. If she doesn't
do 1t, some other woman may. Not
every wife earnestly seeks to be a
helpful companion. Not every one
who tries succeeds. The wife who
contributes to her husbands uplift
and helps to enlarge his vision must
not be denied high credit for his
career. The best part of many man
is the femininity which comes from
his wife. High character which
counts for his success may have orig
mated in her. His ideals may have
come from her; to her he may owe
his purposes.
And her Joy in 1t is exquisite. This
is a woman's greatest work, next to
the rearing Of her children--if IT, Is
second to that. And in all great work
there is keen pleasure.-Wilkesbarrs

the witty prison keeper. That is to

to enter largely into the matter.

/ sowed some rye in orchard to cut
green. Would the spraying of trees
with a poisonous solution be danger
Gus, or would rain wash any droppings
off rye?-R. P. Watson.
There is practically no danger Of
poisoning live stock allowed to feed in
sprayed orchards or fed green stuff
cut from under sprayed trees, provid-
ed reasonable precautions are OBJ
served. Some care should be exer-
cised not to overload the trees with
the spray. The aim should be to stop
as soon as the foliage begins to drip.
Experiments have shown that when
these precautions are observed 1t Is
safe to feed the animals from grass
cut under such trees. On the other
hand, recent experience In Eastern
Massachusetts,, where very large guam.
titles of poisons have been used for
the destruction of the gypsy moth,
have shown that serious consequences
may result II the animals are allowed
to feed under sprayed trees. The gen.
eral rule under such conditions has
been to exclude them for at least for
ty-eight hours after spraying. or until
n good rain washes most of the poison
from the grass. This latter rule Is a
good one to follow In most localities
and can generally be observed without
inconvenience, even though 1t may
not be dangerous to cut and feed
grass Immediately after the spray has
been applied Gentleman.
