Asks Farmers to Feed Birds.

Jefferson City, Jan. S.-The state
game and fish commissioner, Jesse
A. Tolerton, sent out directions today
to all his deputies to get in commune
cation at once with the farmers in
their districts and make arrangements
with the latter to feed until the
weather modifies the game birds with
which the state has been stocked.
This same order will apply to native
birds as well as the English pheasants
and Hungarian partridges distributed
by the state game department during
the past two seasons. There are
many thousands of these birds scat
tered in various parts of the state.
Mr.. Tolerton fears that if they are not
fed while the snow and colo lasts
large per cent of them will perish.
The same is true regarding the native
quail. The farmers who feed these
birds will be paid for their time and
expense out of the game protection
fund, when the accounts are properly
certified to Mr.. Tolerton.

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural Color.

It IS easier to preserve the color OF
the hair than to restore it, although
It is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in using
''sage tea" for their hair, and are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly supe-
rior to the ordinary sage tea" made
by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of
the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand-
ruff germs which rob the hair of its
life, color and lustre. makes the
scalp clean and healthy, gives the
hair strength, color and beauty, and
makes it grow.
Get a so cent bottle from your
druggist today. He will give your
money back II you are not satisfied
after a fair trial.
