SAGE AND SULPHUR

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore

Hair that loses its color and lus-
tire, or when IT fades. turns graz.
dull and lifeless. is caused by a lack
of sal phur in the hair. Our grand
mdther made up mixture of Sage
Tea, and SULPHUR to keep her locks
,dask 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 81 cent bottle OF "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair SO naturally, SO ev-
emily. that nobody can possibly tell
1t has been APPLIED. Besides. it takes
off dandruff. stops scalp itching and
falling hair. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn

what delights the ladies with Wy

Wilson, Accedes
TO Plea of
Railroads

washington, sept lV.-fresluent
Wilson has acceded to the request of
the railway commission who asked |
him to call the attention of the
country to the pressing necessity for
support of railway credits by the CO.
operative and sympathetic support OF
the public and all governmentaf au~
tnorities.
Today he sent a letter to Chair
man Frank Trumbull of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio bosrd. pointing out
that a great measure Of the nations
prosperity is dependent ON the. con-
duct of the railroads. al
The president. however, is nader
stood to take the position that it
would be improper for him TO seek
to influence the interstate commerce
commission on the question Of rate
incrase.
The president believes the roads
are basically sound.
President Wilson's letter to Mr.
Trumbull was as follows:
Since you read it TO me yester-
day. | have read again the state
ment you made on behalf Of the COM
mission OF railroad presidents whom
I had the pleasure of meeting and
conferring with at my office. 1t is
a lucid statement Of plain truths.
"You asked me to call the atten-
:tion Of the country to the imperative
need that railway credits be sustain
led and the railroads helped In every
possible way. whether by private CO.
loperation efforts or by the action
whenever feasible Of the government
ltal agencies: and am glad to do So
because I think the need very raj.

PREPARING SHeAF GRAINS
 FOR EXHIBITION PURPOSES
w. c. Lassetter, Agronomist.

The fairs of the state offer lib- eral prizes for the best sheaves of various varieties of wheat and of oats. In addition to this, sheaf grains offer one of the most at- tractive means of decorating ag- ricultural exhibits, whether tbey they be farm, township or coun- ty exhibits The attractiveness will depend upon the manner in which the sheaves are put up.
 For general display purposes, the sheaves should be about four inches in diameter at the middle band. The heads should be placed evenly and then the butts trimmed even. They should be wrapped near the heads, at the middle and at the butt end. The straw should be left as near the natural length as is possible. It
