sunfIowers in South Carolina


 Farmer J. H. Wall of Dunbarton showed us on Friday sunflower meas uring IA inches in diameter and chock full of seed in perfectly curved rows It was of the type grown in Russia, where the seed are eaten as peanuts in this country They also contain fine oil. This sort bears only one flower, but 1t is whopper, growing on the top of the stalk. The seed were taken from the chicken feed bought by MT. Wall and planted near the house, where the chick ems had eaten two or three plantings of corn. For several weeks Mrs. Walls chickens had been feasting on the onful seed and are healthy and happy on such fattening food.
 A while ago 8 colored subscriber living near Buford's bridge on a farm noted for regular chill and fever visitations planted a row of sunfowers around his cabin and he told us that since then there has not been case of chill and fever in his fam fly. Cattle are very fond of the leaves and stalks when tender. No better feed for fowls can be grown.

Turkish Soldiers Without Fezes

From the London Chronicle.
 For the first time we read the Turkish soldier is going to war without the fez. Mahinud II, when he changed the uniform of his army, tried to introduce the shako. but the opposition of the soldiers was too strong for him. The fez is certainly a poor covering for the men on active ser- vice; for even the change of it's color to khaki did not get over It's feebleness as protection against the sun or bad weather.
 Hence the head shawl devised some time ago to be worn twisted around the fez The Tqrks devotion to the fez Is clearly explained by Duclett Ferriman,

Prejudice Against Gray Hair

The gray-haired person soon realizes that younger appearing men are chosen for positions, although he may know some thus selected who are really older than he is.
 Among women, the one who possesses hair of the natural dark or dark brown shade (rather than gray, white or bleached) meets with the highest favor
 As a matter of fact, gray hair usu- ally has nothing whatever to do with loss of physical or mental vitality. It is caused by disorder of the pigmen- tary glands in the hair follic1es, due to such causes as shock, fever, wear ing of heavy hats, neglect in caring for fhe hair. etc

Don't Paint Your Hair

Only those can afford gray hair who are independent. All others ought to take the necessary means to restore the natural shade.
 Herein is where most gray-haired persons make the mistake of using what are commonly sold as hair stains, dyes dyeing combs. etc. It would be quite as sensible to use ink or stove polish, for these cheap and nasty dyes decieve nobody except those who use them. The color Is unnatural, and everybody easily knows what has been done. The hair has been merely painted These dyes soon begin to wash of, us- ually discoloring the skin, clothing, pill lows, etc, and ugly streaks of strange shades cover the hair
