0LD-T|ME REMEDY
DARkENs THE HAIR
Gives Color Lustre to Faded
and Gray Hair-Dandruff
Quickly Removed,

From time immemorial, sage and sui
phur have been used for the hair and
scalp. Almost everyone knows of the
value of such a combination for darken-
Ing the hair. for curing dandruff and
falling hair, and for making the hair
grow.
In olden times the only way to get a
hair tonic of this sort was to brew il in
the home fireplace, method which was
troublesome and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays almost every up-to-date drug
gist can supply his patrons with a ready
to-use product skillfully compounded in
perfectly equipped laboratories. The
Wyeth Chemical Company OF New York
put up an ideal remedy Of this sort,
called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, and authorize druggists to sell
it under guarantee that the money will
be refunded if it fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

The Thirty-Second Legislature felt
the mighty surges of progress and
passed a law permitting county com
missioners court to appropriate not
to exceed one thousand dollars per
annum for experimental farms. This
legislation has resulted in twenty
one counties making appropriations
for experimental work Some Of
the stations already established have
one hundred and twenty-five farm
ers eultiyating land under the SUI
pervision of the director of the Ex-
perimental Farm and each station
Will conduct experiments and demon
strations of personal interest to at
least two thousand farmers This
instance serves to illustrate the pos
sibilities Of legislation in the devel-
opment of our resources,
There are many sentences in the

KITE CARRIED A BOY Up.
The Father Was Burned Severely
While Rescuing His Son.


George McCourt, who lives in a
bungalow in Camp Warren, South
Beach, Staten Island, with his wife
and twin sons, Alfred and George,
Jr, was sailing a big kite of oil silk
off South Beach not long ago. The
kite was manipulated by wooden
reel attached TO a telegraph pole and
had risen about one hundred feet at
the end Of 400-foot string
MCCourt was unwinding the reel
and the twins we're standing close to
the string, when there came a sud
den change in the wind. The kite
suddenly shifted from north 20
northwest and swung over the mar
shes AS it did so the taut string be-
came loose and formed a moose that
circled the body of little George.
In the fraction of a second the
west wind caught up the kite and
it swung high in the air.
McCourt not seeing his son S
strange plight, continued to unwind
the reel Then came scream from

and his hands were cut by the kite
