WANT A STATE GRADE FOR EGGS.
Shippers of Nashville Advocate Estab-

Nashville.-About thirty egg shippers
from various portions of the state met
here for the purpose of establishing a
state grade for eggs that would meet
the approval of the department of pure
food and drugs. 0. P. Barry, of Andrea,
presided. DR.. Lueius p. Brown, state
pure food and drugs inspector, contend
ed for quality grade. The chairman
of the meeting appointed the following
committee to consider the matter of
grading eggs, and to report: J, j. Nance,
A. VI. Cochran, w. f, Holbrook and j.
7. Finney. The committee recommended
the following grades: Extra, 95 per
cent fresh; prime No. 1, 65 per cent;
prime No. 2, go per cent; No. 2 medium
to grade slightly below prime No. 2.
No. must be sound and fit for food.

IF HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray
Faded, Lifeiess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's sol easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.

LAWYERS WISH TO
TEST LIQUOR Law!
WOULD ATTACK LEGALITY OF SHIP.
MENTS TO OTHER STATES.
Attorneys Assert If Test Case Is to Be
Made, They Would Prefer to Fight
Against the Legality of Acts
Instead of for It.

Memphis.-Lawyers of Memphis who
have given the recently enacted inter-
state law regulating shipments of liquor
some consideration, in conjunction with
the federal statute known as the Webb
Knyon act, are inclined to the opinion,
which appears to have been accepted by
dealers and by common carriers, with
one or two exceptions, that it is not il
legal to import ntoxicants to Tennessee
for resale beyond the borders of the
state, and that it is not illegal to ship
from Tennessee into another state, pro-
vided there is no general prohibition in
the state to which shipment is made The
Webb-Kenyon act would protect the for
eign state.
These same lawyers predict, however,
that test case will be made, and are
free to assert that they would prefr to
fight against the legality of the traffic
rather than on the other side, because,
they say, they would have sounder argu-
ments available and more of them.
They are of the opinion that the state
supreme court, in view of public senti-
ment and the evident purpose to enact
laws that would place Tennessee in the
prohibition column, actually as well as
nominally, would not hesitate long over
hair-spitting technicaities.
However, since that decision was rem
dered the Congress, by the Webb-Kenyon
act, has enlarged the power of the state
as to whisky, and it may be that if the
case went back to the supreme court it
would hold such sale Illegal If that
were done there would be no general
chance for resale for lawful purposes
under the act of 1913, and hence it might
be unlawful for carriers to bring it into
the state.
There is no serious indication that 10.
cal officials will try to stop the traffic,
but the common carriers seem inclined
to obey the law.

AUTO |NTOX|CAT|ON
AND ITS CAUSE
Thousands Suffer From This Dis
order Without Knowing
Why.

Auto intoxication Ia brought about by
the failure of the bowels and kidneys to
properly eliminate poisonous materials. 1t
sewers of the body fail to perform their
duty and require prompt aid or the pos
ons generated will be absorbed into the
system like poisonous gases, thus slowing
down all the vital processes and allowing
disease germs to get a Roadway which
may be fatal.
To insure perfect health men and womer
alike should see that the Kidneys and
Bowels function properly. If they do not
then means should be employed to restore
them to normal action.
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer is a natural
eliminant. 1t operates by bringing about a
natural condition, thus enabling the body
to do its duty in a normal manner with
out harm of any kind
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer does not act
as a catiartic, nor will 1t of itself act on
the bowels. but by its splendid tonic quail
tiles 1t builds up an impaired and diseased
system and In that way adds tone to the
bowels SO that they may properly perform
their functions.
II you are a sufferer from Dyspepsia,
Indigestion. Biliousness, Torpid Liver or

Germetuer will give permanent relief.
