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 ana
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 it 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 this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t 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. Adv.

HOW TO USE BABCoCK TES7
Method of Determining Amount OF Fat
in Milk Is Quite simple-Mode
of Operation.
CBy A. A. BORLAND. University OF
Vermont. Copyright 19l4)


The Babcock test for determining
the amount of fat in milk is simple,
and the apparatus needed for testing
consists of "a milk, skim milk and
cream test bottles; CD 17.6 C. c.
pipette, (3) IT'S C. c. acid measure,
ca cream scales, 90 centrifugal ma
chine and co sulphuric acid.
The operation of testing is:
First-See that all glassware is
clean.
secofd Have sample of milk or
cream at so to 70 degrees F. and thor
oughly mix by pouring the sample
from one vessel to another at least
three times.
THRIFT milk, remove IT'S C. C.
with the pipette and put into the milk
test bottle; II cream, weigh IL grams
into a cream test bottle.
Fourth--Fill the acid measure to
the IT'S C. c. mark with sulphuric acid
having a specific gravity Of 1872 to
1873. Pour acid into milk test, bottle,
which should be held in an inclined
position and slowly revolved SO that
acid will come in contact with any
milk that may remain in neck OF
bottle.
Fifth-Mix milk and acid by giving
the test bottle rotary motion. Avoid
shaking. The casein at first coagu-
lates, then dissolves, the color of the
mixture gradually changing, becom-
ing a dark brown color. Let the
bottles stand two to five minutes;
then shake again before placing in
the centrifuge
Sixth-Place test bottles in the CEN
trifuge in pairs opposite each other
so the tester will be balanced; start
machine slowly; bring up to full
speed and hold at required speed for
five minutes.
Seyenth-(al Add hot water (180 to
100 degrees Ed to test bottles until
contents come to lower end of the
neck of bottle. (b) Whirl two min
utes as before. Co Add hot water
again until the lower part of the fat
column is up to the l or 2 per cent
mark. Cd Whir one minute and read.
Eighth-(a) The readings should be
made when bottles are at a tempera-
ture Of 140 degrees F. When tests
have been made with a hand tester
bottles should be placed in water 14O
degrees F. for five minutes before
reading. OBJ The percentage of fat is
read directly from neck of the bottle.
Milk, skim milk and buttermilk tests
are read from the bottom of the fat
column to the extreme top, including
the meniscus. (0 Cream tests are
read from the bottom of the fat col.
umn to the bottom of the meniscus.
Ninth Wash test bottles In warm
water and alkali powder; then rinse
three times in hot water.

COSTLY FREIGHT IN ALASKA
Cheapest Service to Northern Country
Involves Trip Around the
AIeutIan Islands.

New York-If miner at Fairbanks
orders a boiler shipped to him by the
southeastern route, it comes by steam
er 1 1000 miles from Puget sound up
the inland passage to Skagway. There
1t is transshipped to the narrow gauge
White Pass & Yukon railroad, which
climbs nearly three thousand feet up
White Pass, crosses the divide and
winds down on the other side ITO
miles to White Horse on the upper
Yukon. There the boiler is handled
again, this time being loaded on
little Canadian river steamer which
carries it 400 miles to Dawson. Once
more there Is unloading and loading;
and the boiler Is stored away on an
American river steamer that makes
the last 1000 miles of the trip to Fair
banks.
But this route Is so very expensive
that most Of the freight goes by the
Northwestern route-2,700 miles by
steamer around the Aleutian Islands
to st. Michael, the Worlds work
states.
Such is the cheapest freight serv-
ice to the metropolis Of central Alas
ka. and the merchant who uses this
service has to buy years supply at
a time and pay interest and storage
on it, The freight rate on the neces'
stiles of life, which amounts to about
one hundred and thirty-five dollars a
year for every man, woman and child

1t is important to know just how
to feed horses to keep them in good
health and fit for their work, yet IT
is no exaggeration to say that 80 per
cent. of those who own horses are
quite ignorant of how to care for
them.
We can see any day miserable, de-
iected brutes dragging coal wagons.
with weary feet, or standing with
dropping heads between the shafts of
farm carts or cabs on city streets,
looking as if it would be mercy to
send them to the slaughter yard. Yet
if their owners only understood the
scientific method of feeding they
might easily rejuvenate those poor
old beasts and make them sound and
useful.
After years of experiment as pro-
fessional veterinary surgeon l have
learned that horses fed on corn meal
invariably gain in weight and appear
ance and are far more willing at their
work.

horses and other animals prevents
