LESSONS FROM THE DROUTH
Stronger Emphasis Than Usual ls Laid
on importance of Preparation
Of Good Seed Beds.

A member Of the crop production of
the University of Illinois reports that
the results as seen In crops this year
seem to emphasize stronger than usual
the Importance of good tillage. They
have shown also how important It Is
In a year like the present to prepare
good seed beds for the grain; that the
beds should be well packed. and soil
on top loose, and a mulch on the very
surface, In order that moisture be
conserved.

A great many seven and eight room

with the ends of the rafters exposed

A loggia built in this manner makes
a very pleasant summer parlor, a

The very best kind of a hanging

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARkENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this Through Faded, Lifeess Locks and they Become Dark,
 Glossy, Youthful

Hair that loses it's color and Iustre, or when it, fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair fOur grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keept 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 at tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays We get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" 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 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 dis appears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

The idea is to have this unique Imaginable stunt SD that when We leave the place we will all wear a smile, and it will tickle us so much that it will be on our minds for great many hours and relieve the strained condition of the head.
 Few Rotarians feel that just be- cause he is q RotariaH he should get all the Rotarians' trade. If he feels that way he ought 10 go to Dr. Nichols and have his head ex- amined.

 Generally speaking. most people look for prices. and not for quality or sanitation To bear out this statement; this past summer I nad two very distinct cases that will make it clear to all.
 One place is where they take care of the sick, another an order. Both places were run by the mos irtelli- gent, broadmirded and Weli-tO-do people. Owing to little difference in price they quit me and went to party who had just started up and had only two hundred dollars invest ed in the business. while l had sex eral thousand.

The Legend of the Cactus

My subject today is, What Cac- tus Is" Cactus is everything good, all rolled into one, and successfully protected by nature with thorns so that no wild beast can enjoy it. It is only for the human being to rartake.
 Tn early times when the ancient Toltec race existed, this was the only race known to history where perfect harmony prevailed. No discord of any nature. They all had fatheriy. motherly. brotherly sisterly and neighborly feelings for each other. 4 cross word was unknown only when the love came, and this was decided by the art of dissecting the cactus by the human hand. For the heart of the cactus was considered the most precious. and the purest thing known. It was well protected by thorns. When the young man was in love. he would first consult the mother. then the father. If it was satisfactory with them, he would then talk with the girl If all parties concerned were satisfied then the young man would go out on the desert and procure q good specimen of the cactus; one that he would bring back without assistance.
 When he returned, he would take the cactus plant before the family and commence to dissect it. First. with the human fingers he would take all the thorns off Second with his teeth he would strip the cactus of the skin. Third. with the thorns he would cut the pulp in round shape to signify that there was not end to bis love Fifth, he would boil it for about six hours with wood gathered
