HOLES IN CHEESE :
We KNOW WHY NOW

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Depart

mystery of holes in cheese. The So

mental Cheese"

covers the Schweitzer, or Swiss vari-
ETY. that has huge "eyes" or holes
running through it. The holes re-
ally make the cheese because it is by
their spacing and number that the
expert classifies the cheese as good
or bad
THE so-called eyes in Swiss cheese
are its most prominent CHARACTERISTIC, &"
the department chaps declare in the
booklet. Its commercial value is
largely dependent upon the proper
size and spacing of these eyes. While
the hole Is not the whole of it, much
depreciation in value Of this popular
variety of cheese is known to exist
because of defects in eye formation
Hence. to the biological chemist their
formation is fascinating subject,
and to the cheese maker a matter OF
great importance"
The eyes are caused by chemical
changes in the cheese. They are
pockets" formed by gases generated
in the ''ripening" process. In the
emmental types. these gases are car
bon dloxide and nitrogen.

GRANDMOTHERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

: 1t 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 tca," 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 az
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 advan.
tage of the past in that it can get
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
"sage tea" made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff 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.
