DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's Recipe of Sage Tea and Sui
phur Darkens So Naturally That
Nobody Can Tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and sulphur, properly compounded
brings back the natural color and luster
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 trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for '"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large bot
tie 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 it so naturally and even
ly. You dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy.Adyt.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
THE FARMHAND'S SIDE.
Tells Why 1t Is Difficult to Get Good
Help.

|
Tells Why 1t Is Difficult to Get Good
Help.
Editor, Barre Daily Times: ! would
like to say few words in regard to
hired help on the farm. 1t seems to be
a difficult problem to find suitable farm
help, for reasons which / viii explain.
First, If it is a married man, who is
hired by the month or year, his wages
will average from $25 to $35 per month
and house rent. The rent of those
houses would not bring more than 50
to "a per month, in the condition and
location they are in. Now, for that S25
or $50, they work from 26 to % days.
Sundays, of course, he has some priv
ileges. He is expected to get up as early
as usual, which is 1870 or o'clock, and
work two hours before breakfast. And
then, after breakfast, he has another
chance to work until 1890 or IL o'clock,
doing forenoon chores. Then he has a
rest until $3.50, providing there are no
pigpens to clean ont. Then comes night
chores, which keeps him busy until 7
or 1880 p. m.
If the hired man is gone an afternoon
or sick, but is around to do chores in
either case, there are farmers small
enough TO take out the full half day,
without so much as "thank you" for
doing the chores, which takes nearly an
other half
And still they wonder why they can't
get good help and keep it. AT $35 a
month, man gets less than nine cents
an hour to support a family on. Every
hn h. s. -.
paid for, even down to quart of milk
Now ! should like to have someone ex-
plain how man with family can live
on those wages and pay his bills, with
the high cost of living at the present
time.
The farmer does, and has for some
time, got for his produce the highest
prices since war time. The hired man
on the farm does the hardest and some
times the filthiest kind of work that is
required of any kind of labor. Farmers
do not object to paying from $l.75 to
$3.50 and dinner for day help, for nine
hours a day, but they don't think it nee
essary to pay the man that they have
the year around enough so that he can
live comfortably.
OF course they say, 1--WE give you iull
time through bad weather." but the
hired man never cares for a rainy day.
because he knows there is always some
dirty job to be done No natter how
tired the hired man gets, he has to be
there just as early every morning and
stay until the last thing at night He
has no time for church. In fact, he has
no time to be with his own family.
They expect him to devote his whole
time to their interest.
Ought man to work 80 Sundays I'M
the year for nothing?

A True Sign of Spring.

BY watching the weather on the goth

fair, the farmer may look for warm
