RESTORE GRAY HAIR
To NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-five, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with ''Sage Tea, which also restored
the natural color. y.~
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable rene
dies for dandruff, itching scalp, and
thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when a simple, harmless remedy will
bring back the color in few days; and
don't be tormented with dandruff, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
Wyeth' Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to your
| hair.

SCHOOL BOARD TO
PETITION MAYOR
Joins Residents in Request That
Twenty sixth Street Be
Graded.
ADOPTS AUDUBON PLANS
TO Advertise for Bids-Work on the
Manual Arts Building TO Be
gin at Once.

Pursuant to the request Of Clarence
Ritchey, representing the property
holders on south Twenty-sixth street,
the board of education ar its regular
meeting Joined in petition to the
mayor and city commissioners, re-
questing that Twenty-sixth street be
graded straight through, when similar
work is being carried on in that
vicinity in connection with the COM
pletion of the Longview loop. BY the
filling Of the ravine south Of Thir-
teenth avenue, a direct approach to
the new Audubon school building will
be secured from the north.
TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
Complete plans and specifications
for the new Audubon building were
presented TO the board by Architect
George P. Stauduhar, and with some
minor changes were adopted and the
architect directed to advertise for bids.
The building, four-room frame struc-
ture, will consist Of two stories and
a basement, which will contain separ-
ate play rooms for the boys and girls.
! These rooms will be utilized when the
weather is inclement The basement
will also contain the steam heating
plant, coal bins and toilet rooms.
TO INSTALL FOUNTAINS.
The first floor will contain two
school rooms for the primary grades,
and the second floor the same number
of rooms for the intermediate grades,
as well as cloak rooms. On both floors
bubbling fountains will be installed
The building is to be of the fiat roof
type, and while of comparatively mod
crate cost. will be quite complete in
its appointments for school service
The board formally adopted the name
Audubon, one reason for the choice
being the close proximity of the build
ing to the woods and its feathered in
habitants.

for the construction of the new man

SCRAPlNG BARK FROM TREES
In Case Of Ordinary Healthy Trss
Treatment Is Advocated by Penn

AS to the ACCESSIBILITY Of scraping
rough or shaggy bark from apple
trees, the state zoologist OF Pennsyl-
vania has the following to say:
This depends upon the conditions

especially for rough. scaly bark on
old trees; but II II be bark that has
been roughened by the injurious &C.
ton OF soil sprays, or by burning
with fire or some other injury, l am
satisfied 1t would be wrong, because
this Is the tender bark beneath just
what a scab of an animal is to a sore
which ii is protecting.
Therefore. if the bark beneath be
tender. so that it would be injured
by being scraped. it is best not to do
1t. In the case of an ordinary healthy
tree 1t Is certainly best, but at injured
places, such as above mentioned, II is
advisable TO scrape gently. if at all.
On an old tree one cannot apply
enough pressure with a short-handled
hoe or bark scraper TO do any injury
and this will remove many insect
pests, such as coddling moth, woolly
aphis and certain alternating crea.
lures, and expose scale insects and
other pests to the action of the wealth.

Plums of the Japanese variety are

CARELESS Of these facts, the damage to
tobacco by insects is growing heavier
year by year. True, not all OF this
loss is preventable, but large amount
OF loss may be avoided by proper meth
DDS OF sowing the seeds, cultivation,
rotation and various other indirect as
well as direct remedies which affect
the insects themselves.
The tobacco Leaf Miner Is an in
sect which is considered easy to con-
troll. The injury made by this insect
is manifested by large irregular
blotches appearing on the leaves.
These are at first whitish. but later
become very dry and parchment-like.
Leaves injured in this way are unfit
for wrapper purposes. as they tear
very easily.
There are two generations of the
Leaf Miner each year, the winter be-
ing passed in the adult stage. the
adults hiding away in trash found
about the tobacco barns.
The horse or bull seems to be the
original food plant of this insect. hence
all weeds Of this type should be kept
out of the tobacco.

Thus the profit on the water is over
four times the profit on the land alone
This being the case We should ngure
our crop returns not in terms OF acres
of land but acre-inches OF water. We
will not then confine our fifteen acre
inches OF water TO one acre OF land
in order that We may reap the great
est possible tonnage on that one acre,
but will spread il over a larger area.
so that We can get greater returns
from our water For example. II We
spread the fifteen acre inches over
three acres of ground We will reap. ac'
cording 10 table No. 3, three times
1876, or SIPS tons as compared with
21S9 tons II the fifteen acre inches
are confined to the one acre OF land
Or, using oats as another example. we
get a yield of 90 bushels Of oats with
5inch application of water and y
bushels with 20-inch application.
Now, if We were TO spread the 20
inches over acres Of ground. making
an application OF 5 inches on each
acre, We would get a yield OF times
60, or PAS bushels of oats on those
four acres with the same amount OF
water that it took to produce 50 bush
els on one acre. Whether or not this
is paying proposition can be deter
mined by solving a simple problem in
arithmetic. The average cost OF pro
ducing and harvesting an acre OF irri-
gated oats is about $500.
PROBLEM III.

produces So bushels of oats. 50 bu
oats at 5Oc=s4100. Cost, $500. 1913
profit on land and water. $1,000 profit
on land only. $500 profit on water

Thus the profit is more than doub.
