SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.

There Is nothing new about the idea OF
using sage for restoring the color OF the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using
sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done By
skilIful chemists better than We could do
1t ourselves, and all we have to do Is to
call for the ready made product Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition OF
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation is sold by all frst-class
druggists for SOC. and 800 a bottle, or
IS seat direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company. II Cortlandt St, New Yori

IMPROVE RURAL CONDITIONS

Whatever is best for the Missouri
farmer is best for Missouri. In the
last ten years there has been de-
crease in the rural population, be
ceuse the farmer has not been re
ceiving the right treatment. Maybe
it was his own fault or perhaps the
state was to blame, but the Missouri
farmer has not been receiving his
just proportion of the pleasdres-or
profits-of living. Give him his
share of the profits and the farmer
will take care of his end Of the
pleasure.
The farmer may be benefited in
many ways. Some of the aid may be
given from the state or other in.
terests in the state, but most of the
advance will have to come from the
farmers own efforts and skill. The
Missouri farmer has learned many
things. That's why he has moved
to the cities. But when he learns
more things he will move back to
the farm. The chief call of the city
has not been one. of financial profit; !;
it has been one of comfortable homes
and more pleasures.
The best thing for Missouri is to
better the condition of the farmers
or better still, help the farmers to
better their own condition. More
pleasures and conveniences In the
homes and more business methods in
the work of the farm will put Mis-
souri, back in fifth place among the
states.

WHY NOT A PRINTED sALLoTa


Primary and general elections and
almost every special or regular elec.
ton in city or state are operated by
means of the Australian or printed.

The system has been adopted in all
but five states of the Union. 1t is
commonly. used and yet commonly
not understood. 1t offers such dis
tinct advantages over the old viva
voce method Of voting and is in it.
self SO simple. it might be used with
advantage in student organization
elections. It would instruct students
in a voting system with which they
will at some time find it distinct
advantage to be familiar.
1t makes possible absolute secrecy
and liberty in voting; it gives oppor-
tunity for thoughtful voting. and it
preserves the evidence of the vote
cast.
These are reasons sufficient for its
adoption in large student elections.
Why not here?

THE DANGERS OF INDUSTRY

In spite of the increase of safety
appliances and other devices to make
labor less dangerous. the number
killed each year in industrial pur-
suits, is appalling. In his article on
The Human Drift" in the Forum,
Jack London says that the chance
for life is greater in an active cam
paign than in factory or coal-mine.
I'm the United States in the last
fourteen years." he says, "a total Of
coal-miners. greater than our entire
standing army, has been killed and
injured. The United States Bureau
Of Labor states that in the year 1908.
there were between 10000 and $4,000
deaths Of workers by accidents, while
100000 more were injured. In fact,
the safest place for a workingman is
in the army. And even il this army
be at the front, fighting in Cuba or
South Africa. the soldier in the ranks
has a better chance for his life than
the workingman at home"

Of modern industry, but these dangers
may be decreased. This year a num-
Der Of factory employees lost their
lives because the buildings where
they worked lacked adequate fire
escapes. Frequently a mining dis

lessness. II all the safety appliances
and other means of making labor less
dangerous were used in the mine or
factory there would be decrease in
the number of deaths and injuries
each year evolving from industry.
