February, 1904, but as result Of the
experiments conducted at this station
we have no hesitation in saying that
they have more practical good points
combined with fewer undesirable quail
tiles than any other chicken. They
are: Broiiers at seven weeks; flyers
at nine weeks; layers at 20 weeks.
When full grown, Rhode Island Red
hens average nine to thirteen pounds
each and cocks nine to thirteen
pounds. They are big red birds with
brown beaks, red eyes and smooth
yellow legs. The males are q rich
cherry red and the hens a lighter
shade of red. They have the laying
qualities of the Leghorn. the vitality
Of the Malay Game and the heavy
coat Of feathers peculiar to the Coch-
In. but with bare legs.
Their color does not show soil. They
are a desirable table fowl at any age,
having oblong bodies, wide, deep, full
plump breasts and yellow skin. They
mature early, are very hardy and Will
stand severe winters and continue lay
Ing. They are good hustlers and bug
hunters and require less feed than
common chickens. They lay big
brown eggs, are enthusiastic sitters
and excellent mothers, although at
the same time they are easily broken
from sitting when desired. They are
free from disease and with their won
derful laying qualities, especially in
winter are the ideal farmers fowl.
The census statistics of 1909 show the
average yield per hen throughout the
United States is only 120 eggs an.
nually. The experiments at this sta
ton have shown conclusively that
Rhode Island Reds can be depended
upon to Jay from 1870 to 21o eggs per
hen and as they cost no more to raise
than the old varieties, 1t would seem
to be a logical conclusion that poul-
try raisers would do we'll to devote
their attention to this wonderful new
chicken.-Horse Cave (Ky.) Expert

In the nursery without having to dodge
an electric train or take a chance of
having toy flying machine hit him
on the ear has not the opportunity
to learn how to play. The playing is
all done for him by the inventor who
made the toy and by his doting papa
or rich bachelor uncle who bought the
expensive toy for him and taught him
to run 1t. The child is neglected"
What we are trying to do through
our exhibit Is to teach parents that
their children have normal play I'M
pulse which can be more easily graft
fed with a few simple toys that tend
to inspire the child's imagination and
inventive nature than by all the COM
plicated and mechanical toys In the
world. Equipped with a few simple
toys the boy or girl will learn to
make them work for him and do
things. New pleasures will be discov-
cred every day, and the enjoyment of
a toy will not disappear after 1t is a
week old, and probably is ready to be
smashed
"A child should not be given whole
tool chest at one time, for example.
Give the little fellow hammer. Then
when he begins to ask for nails, give
him something to pound. Soon he
will learn how to make things. and
before long he win learn the real
value of the whole array of contents
of the chest, while If given them all
at once he would not have appreciated
any Of them"

Teaching Parents What Toys to Buy

CHICAGO. - Parents OF Chicago
~ boys and girls do not know how to
buy toys for their children"
1t was upon this assumption that the
committee on homes of the child well
fare exhibit had on exhibition at the
Coliseum child's play shop" In 1t
there was on display an endless variety
Of toys, but foremost OF all were the
new "do-with" toys introduced for the
6rst time In Chicago by Miss Caroline
Pratt, who had charge of the toy ex-
hibit Miss Pratt was in charge of the
same department of the exhibit in
New York.
Chicago parents are as deplorably
ignorant In the matter Of buying
proper toys for their children as par
ents the country over" she told re-
porter They don't know the first
thing about It. What they do in most
cases when they go shopping in the
toy department Of store is to buy
toys that they like to play with them
selves.
That, of course, is. the reason we
have a play shop exhibit The ex.
hibit is planned for the education OF
all the parents OF Chicago-bu by
the way, 1t is the weil-to-do fathers
and mothers who are most ignorant
of all along this line What we ex-
pect to teach them is the real merit of

It a boy or girls can carry out definite

Clean Sanitary Floors.

Varnish, which is commonly regard
ed only as beauti6er, Is an efficient
sanitary agent. Vanished surfaces can
be cleaned by wiping, and the microbe-
laden dust is thus kept out of the air.
A vanished floor is therefore not only
up to date, beautiful and easily clean
ed, but is wholesome. The National
Association OF Varnish Manufacturers,

GRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK old
Use Wyeth'S Sage and Sulphur
and Your Gray Hair viii
Quickly Vanish.

Gray hair is a mark Of age, and
nothing that can be said as to its
beauty will offset the disadvantages
of this mark of age set upon your
brow.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy darkens the hair and re-
stores it to its youthful beauty. Our
grandmothers and their grand
mothers before them used sage and
sulphur for darkening their hair.
Nothing has ever been found more
effective for this purpose than these
two time-honored remedies, but
Wyeth, a modern chemist, has COM
bined the two with other ingredients,
which makes a delightful dressing
for the hair, and which not only re-
moves every trace of dandruff but
promotes the growth of the hair. 1t
also stops the hair from falling out,
and makes it beautiful
All druggists are authorized to re-
fund the money If it fails to do ex-
actly as represented.
DON'T neglect your hair and don't
resort to old-time hair dyes. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
from your druggist today, and notice
the difference in your hair after a
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
