GLORIOUS HAIR

Girls and women of all ages want to
be beautiful and attractive, but insight.
Iy, thin and lifeless hair destroys half
the beauty of pretty face.
If your hair is losing its natural color,
is falling out, dull, streaky, full of dan
druff, too dry, or if the scalp itches and
burns do not be alarmed, use Partisan
Sage. Rub it well into the scalp. 1t
will go right to the hair roots, nourish
them, and stimulate the hair to grow
long and beautiful. 1t removes dan
druff with one application, stops itching
scalp, falling hair, and makes the head
feel fine.
Partisan Sage supplies the hair with
what is needed to make it soft, fluffy,
thick and gloriously radiant 1t is sold

a SENSIBLE PLAN.

One section in the corn belt has set
about handling the hog cholera prob
lem in a sensible. businesslike fashion
The section in question includes three
counties. each Of which has an expert
agricultural adviser. Briefly, under
the plan referred to. 1t is proposed to
get after cases of hog cholera as soon
as they put In an appearance In each
school district in the three counties a
prominent farmer Is selected, whose
duty it is to keep tab on the hogs in
his territory and report any cases of
cholera at once to the county agent
who in turn reports to the assistant
veterinarians who are appointed for
each county. These will put up quar-
antine cards where the disease has ap
peared and cooperate with the farm
ers in waging an effective fight against
the disease. Hog raisers everywhere
will watch the success of this plan
with much interest, for they have mil
lions of dollars at stake.

Where the COW is there is Arcadia.
So far as her influence prevails. there
is cOntentment. humility and sweet,
homely life. John never got acquaint-
ed with the great American hen. Bid

That attempt to get resolution
through the American Poultry associa-
ton against the sale of day old chicks
on the ground that it has detrimental
effect on the standard bred poultry
business was certainly n frame up OF
the fancy against the utility poultry
business and in comparison the fancy
isn't drop in the chicken cook pot.
Recent government reports on the
grain products of this country show
the corn crop, which is 1862 092 900.
The last poultry census was restricted
to farm tlOcks. \ census that includes

An organization is being promoted
among poultry men called The Order

ton held at the Chicago show. That's
certainly doggone funny name for
society of poultry raisers. 1t would
fit the hog and dog breeders better
Now that you have good stock and
fine eggs for Matching, how will folks
find out you have these for sale unless
you advertise them. If competition
is the life of trade, by advertising
sales are made.
West Virginia husband scolded
his wife for paying 60 cents for eggs. |
She at once went down TO the East
river, threw the eggs in and jumped
in after them, but was saved by her
hair catching fast to the branches OF
a tree. While this is a poor advertise
ment for her husband it is certainly
genuine sample of good hair restor-
her.
1t isn't necessary to heat the feed
or water for healthy stock, and obser- |

everything natural. Don't waste time
mollycoddling. Stick to nature.
1t is better to give hen the chance
TO balance her own ration than to de-
pend entirely on the formula OF a mill
ing company or the judgment of her
owner. Put down the variety and
watch her pick out what her system
calls for.

Sublime Act of Hero Who Won't to q
Watery Grave.

In the chapel at Glenalmond school
In Perthshire, Scotland, there is a
marble slab with this stirring story
recorded upon it:
There was once in the school a pupil
named Alexander Cumine Russell,
who became IN officer in the Seventy
fourth highlanders when only lad of
seventeen. In connection with the
memorable loss of the Birkenhead he
won immortal glory. The troopship
struck upon a rock; the soldiers were
formed in ranks upon the deck to die;
the women and children were being
saved in boats.
Russell was ordered into one of the
boats to command it. and little way
of he watched with dlmmed eyes the
doomed ship. When she went down he
saw creatures of the deep contending
for his beloved comrades. Then he
saw sailors form rise up close to the
boat and q hand strive to grasp the
side.
A woman in the craft called out in
agony: Save himi Oh, save him, sir!
He is my husband" but there was no
room for another, and the boat was la
boring heavily as 1t was. Russell look
ed at the woman and then at her chill
dren. then at those beseeching eyes In
the deep, and, rising In the stern, he
plunged into the water and helped the
sailor into what had been his own
place. Then amid a chorus of God
bless you" from every one In the boat
the brave young officer turned to meet
his death.-Pearson's Weekly.
