AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK
Name of a Magazine the Government
Will Issue.

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE United
States government is going into the
magazine business for the benefit of
the farmers. This is the announce
ment made today by the departmen
of agriculture, which adds that the
first issue will be out this month and
that other issues will follow regularly
at monthly intervals. The publication
will be devoted principally to de-
tailed review of crop conditions ma
tionally and by states.
This information will be prepared
in a purely popular way" Assistant
Secretary Galloway said, with a view
t enabling the farmer to determine
at glance just what plant crop and
animal crop conditions are prevailing
in his own state as compared with
other individual states and the coun-
try at large and important foreign
producing area.
1t is the departments purpose to
make the magazine, which will bear
the title of 1.-The Agricultural Out
look" a magazine of from 8 to 20
pages. 1t will deal not alone with the
production and condition of crops but
will instruct the farmer as to market
ing his wares.

QUICK BRIDGE WORK.
Sixth Street Viaduct Was Repaired in
Two Weeks.

One of the quickest repairs of a seri-
Gus break in a municipal structure in
the history of the city was made in
connection with the Sixth street via
duct, over which the street cars have
been running since Sunday afternoon.
The work was completed in two weeks
"a little less than that-after the con-
tract had been let, in all only IS days
after who'll span was buckled. in
spite of the fact that new trusses and
floor beams had to be ordered for the
work.
The span went down under the COM
bined weight of a Topeka railway mo-
tor tractor and gondola loaded with
crushed rock on Wednesday afternoon
Aug. 20. Steps toward rebuilding it
were taken Immediately, and Monday
Aug. 20, the Topeka Bridge and Iron
company was awarded the contract for
the repairs. A day less than two weeks
later, after new trusses had been in
stalled, new floor beams had been
placed, and new flooring had been laid,
the structure was opened to the public
in time for the rush traffic of the

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t
Darkens SO Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded nair is grandmother's treat
ment and folks are again using it to
keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible. as we are living
in an age when a youthful appearance
is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays. though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. Ali
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called ''Weyth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy for about 30 cents a
bottle. 1t is very popular because no
body can discover it has ~een applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears. but what delights the ladies
with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is
that. besides beautifully darkening the
hair, after a few applications, it also
produces that soft lustre and appear
ance of abundance which is so attrac-
tive; besides. prevent dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair.-Adv.

The race track at the State Fair
Topeka. is considered by horsemen the
next best half-mile track in existence,
ferred being at Des Moines, Ia. and
the soil of the Des Moines track is not
as desirable a composition as is the
soil of the Topeka track. Their prefer
ence is due to the fact that the Des
Moines track is raised more at the
turns, the outside being very much
higher than the inside. The Topeka
track was plowed up and rebuilt in
1901 and at that time was given the
same desirable "cupping' as is now
the shape of the Des Moines track, but
both rains and the working of the track
have carried the soil down so that now
little of the "cupping' remains. Horse
men say that even in it's present con-
dition it is, for most horses, faster than
the Des Moines track and they are
borne out in this by the fact that Mary
Louise this week trotted the three fast
est consecutive heats ever made on a
half-mile track

men at the State Fair. 1t is being

Soil for Horses Feet.
To keep horses feet in proper con-
dition moisture is required. The
equine's hoofs may be kept soft and
moist by the absorption of water; their
feet are frequently packed with wet
clay or mud. The greater the moisture
in proportion to the solids in this foot
pack the better.
Over in the woods south of the Shun-
ganunga, but still on the fair grounds
property is an old rock quarry, and
where the rock has been removed is
found bed of a very light-colored clay
and this clay has the faculty of absorb
ing water to a remarkable degree. AS
it comes from the ground it is dry and
hard like a rock, but readily crumbles.
1t is said that it will absorb three or
four times it's weight of water. Horse
men say it is superior to anything they
have ever used and better than the
clays on the market for the same pur-
pose. Most of them are. laying in a

When some widely import
ant event occurs it is flashed
throughout the length and
breath of this land in a mira
culously short space of time,
and a whole nation reads
through the daily press what
is going on.
Millions of human beings
are swayed daily by the press
of North America. 1t is the
all powerful medium of infor-
nation.
When the days work is
done we demand the evening
newspaper and take it home
with. us or it is delivered by
carrier at the home-fre-
quently both. Things are
happening and we want to
know.
Men who are well informed
on advertising recognize this
tremendous force exerted by
newspapers.
In an incredibly short space
of time it is possible for a ma
tional advertiser having a
sound and meritorious propo-
sition to inform the whole ma
ton, or such selected parts of
it as he may choose, and to
create an actual and a univer-
sal demand simultaneously.
