MAGIC WATER TOYS.
Wonderful Play Toys That Amuse the
Children of the Orient.

Children of the Orient.
Europe and America turn out for the
edifcation of their children many in
genious toys, but the occidental young
sters have nothing to compare with the
strange expanding water toys with
which the children of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
so often seen in our own country. They
have the appearance Of soiled shayinga
broken matches and dilapidated tooth.
picks, but when thrown into the water
the ingenious toys at once exhibit prep.
critics that show them to be considera,
bly, more than mere bits of stick.
The wood Of these toys has been kiln
dried, and Immediately it touches the
water it begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost Indefinitely. AS
it increases in size it separates and
suddenly opens, becoming very pref
ty toy. One stick will change into a
Rowerpot containing, it may be, rose.
bush in full bloom. Another becomes
an obese mandarin carrying an UNI
brella. Still another will take the form
of sea serpent, very ferocious in its
tiny dimensions.
Then. too, there are toys which show
as whales. tigers. crocodiles. etc. The
figures are colored and present a be-
wildering variety in design and treat
ment Their manufactur is a trade
secret, kept inviolate by the guild that
turns them out by the thousands.
For older children there are prOvid
ed larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting Of historical charac-
terS-rulerS. poets and soldiers-and
dWarfeu trees and tiny houses. whose
doors and windows are full of inmates
are also among this class. The more
ordinary kind cost Il mere song. but
the finer TOYS are quite expensive

Take Steps Now to Make Next Years
Crop Healthy.

Articles have appeared from time
to time warning potato growers
against permitting potato diseases TO
become established. However, DUR
ing the past season the situation mas
been more alarming than ever. 1t is
an assured fact that if potatoes are
to be successfully grown, more atten-
tion must be paid to the prevention
of diseases. This phase OF potato
raising has been neglected so long
that it is now absolutely necessary
to take vigorous measures in order TO
insure profitable crops in the fut"re'
During the past season very large
number Of complaints have been made
that potato vines were unthrl1ty or
were whiting and eventually dying. IN
every case the cause could be attrlp-
uted to one of two common diseases:
the internal brown rot, or "rosette
Probably the most common one OF
these was the internal brown rot. The
twenty per cent and, in a few cases,
even greater. Certainly, when pre-
ventiye measures are both simple anQ
inexpensive, it is only good business
policy to adopt these measures IN

Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the absolute necessity for
taking precautionary measures at
once if good crops of potatoes are to
be raised Specific information con-
cerning planting will be sent out be-
fore next spring. In the meantime,
proper storage conditions should be

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR
Easy Way to Preserve Natural cclor
 of the Hair

A harmless remedy, made from com- mon garden sage, quickly restores gray hair 10 natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent it from losing it's col or and lustre. is just as important as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspic- uous and suggestive of age than wrin- kles or a poor complexion? Of the two, 1t Is easier to preserve the nat ural color and beauty of the hair than it IS to have a good complexion.
 All that Is necessary is the occas- icnSl use of Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy. Q preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable reme- dies. for dry. harsh, faded hair, dan- druh, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of this sim pie harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to its natural ,olor in 9 short time the dandruF viii be removed. and your hair will nc longer come out, but will start to r1ow as Nature intended ii should.
 Don't neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy tlis remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your drug glst will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Pur- chase a bottle today. You will never regret 1t when you realize the differ snce it will make in your appearance.
