GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 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 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t 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 morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy

Helm for the Blind,

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association is authority for the
averment that the blind people in the
United States number 100000, and
that it costs about $15,000,000 to sup
port them. 1t is estimated that rs per
cent of this blindness is due to two
causes, namely, sore eyes at birth and
neglected eyes during early school
life. The first cause can be removed
in the simplest manner. All that is
necessary is for the doctor or midwife
to drop into the eyes of the newly
born babe a few drops of a two per
cent solution of nitrate of silver. This
will kill the germs that produce the
disease which almost fills so many
blind asylums.

state for money whenever they want

Missouri's Crop Value.

mates the value Of farm crops grown
in Missouri this year at more than
s200,000,0 900, or 100000 in excess of
the five-year average. Large as are
these figures, they do not disclose the
real returns from Missouri farms. Had
live stock, wool. dairy products, poul-
try, orchards and apiary products been
included 1t would have been seen that
even in what has been counted a rather
unfavorable year Missouri farm pro-
duction and sales have totaled not
less than s500.000,00O.
The value of Missouri crops for the
year 1914 reaches the magnificent to-
tai Of 1901 ,455,275, according to esti-
mates based upon records made by
the boards official representatives in
the ia counties of the state.
