|AN OLD RECIPE
{ TO DARkEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost every one knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the nat
ural color and luster TO the hair
when faded, streaked or gray; also
ends dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home. which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" You will
get large bottle for about so
cents. Everybody uses this old,
famous recipe, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger.

hoped that Capt. Bob Wright will not
deny that he also was on board of the
famous ship.

with ROumanian sturgeon Will be located
on the Delaware river.
The fish commissioners are not GER
tain, however. that bringing sturgeon
eggs from Roumania will result in re-
stocking the American waters. For a
number Of years indications have pointed
to the fact that the decrease in Ameri-
can sturgeon is at least partially because
the eggs do not hatch. This fact is not
explained, but is the subject of close
study in several experiment stations.
1t was during the eighties that the
sturgeon industry reached its greatest
height along the Delaware river. At that
time sturgeon were not appreciated as
food, so the fishermen slaughtered them
because they destroyed the light nets used
for catching shad and other fish. Then
came the demand for caviar. which is
made from sturgeon roe. This brought as
much as 81 a pound. SO that the fisher
men hunted roe sturgeon the year around.
There was no law to protect the fish and
this greed of the fishermen led to q de-
crease The caviar production in this
dropped to 100000 in the early nineties.
and now is hardly worthy of considera-
ton. Caviar has always been the most
costly food product sold in the United
to yield as much as $40 worth of eggs
in addition to the value Of the meat.

and requires little machinery. The eggs

in sheets an inch thick to dry. After
wards these sheets are broken up finely
and mixed with oil taken from the liver
of a male sturgeon. This oil restores the
flavor taken out in the brine.
Fresh caviar is sold but little in the
United States, although it is in high
favor in Russia 1t consists of sturgeon
eggs mixed with salt and served within
two or three hours after they have been
taken from the fish. Fresh caviar Is SO
popular in Russia that live surgeons are
transported to Moscow in order that the
eggs may be taken just before they are
to be eaten. Most of the caviar now
eaten in this country is imported from
Russia, although epicures claim that the
American product is vastly superior. Re-
cent consular reports state that the caviar
in Europe are much exer-
cised over the pure food laws which have
lately gone into effect in this country.

STURGEON and CAVIAR,
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The United States fish commission
is much disturbed over the enormous
decrease in the sturgeon products Of
this country. From being one Of the
most plentiful varieties of fish. stur-
geon has become the least numerous.
and its total extinction seems threat
ened. Various experiments with
sturgeon culture have been UNDER
taken in different parts of the coun-
try under the auspices of the national
or state fish commissions or by pri-
vate parties. None of them as yet
has given hopeful results.
Some idea of the decrease Of the
sturgeon can be had from the records
of the Delaware river, once one of the
most important sturgeon grounds of
this country. In 1890 the catch there
to 5,O32,175 pounds, valued
at $119.610. By 1900 it had SO d.
minished that the reports give a
catch of only 357.967 pounds, valued
at less than $4,000. Since then the
decrease has been SO great that now
no sturgeon worthy of record are to
be found in the Delaware river. The
entire sturgeon industry in that To-
cality has been abandoned, excepting
for the efforts of sturgeon culture
now in progress.

found along the Atlantic coast in the
inland rivers and lakes and practically
in every state excepting those on the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t is now scarce in
every place. Last year the fish COM
mission established an experimental
field for the purpose of finding out
whether Matching sturgeon in the Lake
of the Woods, or it's tributaries, would
be feasible. About a million and
half eggs were installed near the
mouth of the Rainy river. A pound
was prepared in connection with the
hatchery. Seven large surgeons
caught in nets were retained III TINS

they were carefully examined. NO
tangible results were obtained, now
ever. The Investigations are now be-
with the cooperation of the Canadian
government.
For a number of years consideration
has been given to importing surgeon
from Europe for the purposes OF breed
ing an additional supply in this country.
Horace D. Knowles of Wilmington, Del,
recently United States minister to Bo-
livia, has for years been interested IN
the restoration of sturgeon to American
waters. He represented this govern
ment In Roumania several years De-
fore. In 1863 he returned with an oHer

Saturday evening lightning
struck a stack of straw near an
old barn ON the farm of D. White
Bostlan, near China Grove, and
set it on fire. This set the barn
on fire and soon it and contents
were consumed by the flames.
The barn contained a lot of straw
and hay. Mr.. Bostian carried
$500 insurance on it and yester.
day while s. J. Asbury, an insur-
ance inspector, was looking over
the destruction, he settled with
Mr.. Bost,an in full.
Sunday evening lightning struck
a clothes wire in the yard of J. w.
Cook, in China Grove. To this
wire a calf was attached by means
of a chain. The calf is said to
have been under the house and
the lighting ran along the wire,
down the chain and killed the
calf under the house.
Lightning struck the tower of
the China Grove Methodist
Church Saturday evening, but did
very little damage.
S. J. Asbury, of Charlotte. an
insurance inspector, was in China
Grove yesterday for the purpose
of adjusting some claims. He
and Ii. S. Bostian took up the
matter of damage to the building
