SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use Of
a simple ''SaFe Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded CT
streaked appearance, 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-tiEle tiresome method Of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
Is done by sl.iilful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to Go is to call for the readv-naCe
product, Wycth's SAGE and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sare in the
proper strength, with the addition Of
Sulphur, another old-tirle scalp remcG-.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty 70 the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
railing hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the q.ick results. Al
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded If the
remedy Is not exactly as represented.

ure in his machine, and in this state
ment he had been upheld by DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell. and Octave Chan
ute. while practically all students OF
modern aviation agree that the Lang
ley machine was correctly built and
undoubtedly would have flown if it
had been properly launched.
Not realizing that the launching was
an accident and not a failure, and not
understanding that the proceedings
were in the nature of a government
secret, the press and the public ridi-
culed Mr.. Langley and his machine,
and the department decided not to
renew the allotment for further ex-
/ periments. Much Of the interesting
apparatus used in his experiments, in
GLIDING the successful model and the
engine of the large machine, are on
exhibition among the aeronautical col
/ Iectioas of the National Museum. Mr..
Langley died Feb. q. 1906, and
I it was not until the last few years
that he has been accorded the measure

/ served.
| In commemoration of the services
Mr.. Langley rendered to the art and
science Of aviation, the Aero club OF
Washington conceived the idea in 1911
of holding a field day annually the
sixth Of May, TO be known as Langley

was held at the Chevy Chase club this

PROTECTION OF APPLE TREES


That the health and longevity OF
many Of the less hardy types of apple
trees are largely dependent upon the
way they are protected has been
pretty plainly demonstrated in the
case of Fameuse tree from which
the writer picked the fruit last fall,
says a writer. The tree In question
stands on the north side, and about
i've feet from shed which effec-
lively protects its trunk and lower
limbs from the winter sun, says a
writer in an exchange. Not only has
the tree made a prodigious growth,
but it is remarkably thrifty and sound.
Twenty feet to the north Of 1t but
exposed to the sun, is another tree
of the same variety, which has been
badly hit with sun scald, and it is al
ready sick to death. We have
watched these trees for number OF
years, and are convinced that, while
some other factors may have played
q part. the difference in their con-
dition today is due to the protection
they have had.
It is this principle that makes many
nrchardists in northern states favor
fae rather close planting OF apple
trees in rows north aad south. This
serves in measure 70 give the pro-
sacti0F pept'nned.
