SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush This Through Faded, Lifeless
Locks and They Become Dark
Glossy, Youthful.

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a 90
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" which darkens the
hair so naturally. so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied.
Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You just, damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur is that. besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applications,
it also brings back the gloss and luster
and gives it an appearance of album
dance.-Adyt.

just before a time when business is like
ly to be the best in the year, and it was
most unfortunate in that respect, too,
inasmuch as the building cannot be con-
structed and equipment replaced in time
to permit the firm to get out full vol
ume of Memorial day work. But in
spite of the seriousness of the misfor-
tune, the members Of the firm and the
company, which owned the building, seem
to look ahead with marked degree of
confidence in spite Of the fact that gram
lite cutting in Keene is conducted under
some handicap, since the rough granite
has to be hauled there from quarries in
other places, a situation somewhat sim
liar to that in which Mortified finds
itself. But the pluck of the promoters
of the industry at Keene seems to have
been rewarded with a good business, as
the payroll of 1874 men indicates; and
such payroll will not be lost by Keene
business men without strong effort to
retain it. Therefore, the fire of yester-
day becomes but an incident.

ought to be given the opinion of DIR.
Baldwin. Evidence in Barre has tended
toward the position that tuberculosis is
communicable disease. How else can
we reconcile the taking-off OF members
of family, the head of the house, the
mother and then some of the children,
one soon after the other? And we make
this reference, not to freighten anyone,
but rather to keep them on their guard.
1t is possible, we believe, for persons in
normal health to live In houses where
there is tuberculosis but only under con-
ditions in which the persons in normal
health take reasonable precautions as to
diet, fresh air, sunshine and segregation
as to use of articles.

COVER CROPS AND MANURES
Washing Of Land and Exhaustine Of
Humus Of Soils Result in Ire
mendous Loss to South.

A most hopeful thing In Southern
agriculture is the increased interest in
winter cover and pasture crops. The
bulk of the queries coming to the
Southern Agriculturist lately, says the
editor of that publication. have been
about green manure crops and meth
DDS of seeding and fertilizing them.
Such interest Is a cause for greatest
optimism.
The washing Of Southern lands and
the exhausting of the humus of the
soils result in a tremendous loss.
Methods of farming have been largely
responsible. The winter cover crop to
hold the land and to make green
manure to turn under to a very large
extent meets the need and stops this
leak that annually results in a loss OF
millions Of dollars worth of fertility
May the number of cover crop and
green manure farmers steadily In
crease until soon the Southern land
scapes won't be brown, but green
throughout the winters.
