GRANDMOTHER
BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Color and Beauty Of the Hair Pre-.
served with Harmless Remedy
Made from Sage.

Druggists everywhere comment on
the fact that they are selling large
quantities of sage for making old
fashioned sage tea," such as was
used by our grandmothers for pro-
noting the growth of their hair, MAX
it fluffy and beautiful and restoring
its natural color.
The demand for this well-known
herb for this purpose has been so
great that one manufacturer has TAX
Ell advantage of the fact and has
placed on the market an ideal sage
tea containing sulphur, valuable
remedy for dandruff and scalp rashes
and Invitations, called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as re-
presented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

material reductions in both class

situated although the carriers are
permitted, on account of water com
petition, to exact rates somewhat
less to Pacific coast terminals than
to the intermediate points.
THE orders issued define explicitly
the rates indicated in the opinions
as reasonable, and require the car

traffic to establish the rates fixed by
the commission on or before NOV. i

there was an Indebtedness against

The area of the city under the new
rule was seventeen square miles. while

The Farm Is the Thine.

1t is a significant and heartening
fact that the nationwide discussion of
the high cost of living, it's acuse and
list remedy has recently taken a new
turn.
Men are awakening tc the truth that
the solution of this problem lies very
largely in improved agricultural con
ditions, in the production of more food
through modern methods of farming
and IN the development Of rural life
along more attractive lines.
There can be no doubt that the ex-
cessive cost of many commodities is
due in considerable part to artificial
causes, such as monCpolistic control
and the tariff which is the mother of
the evils of the trusts. And these are
conditions which can be remedied
through wise and progressive legisla-
ton.
But 1t is equally apparent that the
supply of food is continually becoming
inadequate to the demand. It's rate OF
production falls far short of keeping
pace with the increase of population
The time is approaching when there
will be simply not enough bread and
meat to go around.
The only hope of salvation from such
a state of affairs lies in bringing the
the farm to its due standard. Tb1
prosperity of the cities themselves
rests upon the agricultural activities
o fthe country about them.
A rural life is made more attractive
through coed roads and better schools
and mor ~remunerative through mod.
ern methods Of farm business, we shall
have a greater number of farmers AMI
a greater yield from the soil and there
by the burdensome cost of living viii
J be wonderfully reduced@At1ants
