THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Hin About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession l have found SO
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that l unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency of
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet / find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own idea and Is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
Of fruit Juice for flavouring. This af-
fords a. great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
late without any distress.
my husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally regard dish Of Grape.
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 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 troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the 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 evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

epoch-making discovery by man

thousands of recent mothers to un.
timely graves was suddenly deprived
of its malign prevalence by the dis
covery of Doctor Holmes that it was
contracted by contact with the doc

tons by them would prevent its oc-
currence. Prosecuted in his own
country by the ridicule of great pro-

THE DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES

The opinion commonly held of the meaning behind the statement that the steel industries of the United States will greatly increase the capacity of their plants, investing a good many millions in this work. is that the managers of the steel industries of the United States are persuaded that domestic industries Of all kinds are to be carried on to their utmost capacity no matter whether the war in Europe be continued or be ter minated as speedily as Judge Gary is in- clined to think it will be For if the steel
 industry in the United States were de- pendent upon war orders for it's prosper ity. the managers would get along as well as possible with the plants they now have.
 The Steel corporation is about to spend t10, ,0O0, 900 in the expansion of it's plants 100000 in Chicago and 100000 in Pitts burg and Youngstown That is regarded as making preparation for the demands of domestic business. The managers are persuaded that it is of vital importance that steel capacity be increased IS speed
 fly as possible. Improvement of this kind cannot be perfected in a moment About two years are required to build and put in operation blast furnaces open hearth furnaces and finishing mills Therefore the improvement the Steel cor poration and the independent steel corpo- re tions are now contemplating cannot be ready until about 1917. The European war may have ended before 1917 comes in. Lord Kitchener predicts that it will end iE midsummer. Therefore these eXpan-| siOns and improvements must refer tu the demands of domestic business.

The great problem in home depart ment work has been to make on one hand it's workers feel that they are an intrinsic part of the school proper and to make the school realize on the other hand that this department is as truly a part of, it's organization as are the various other departments that make it up.
 Because of failure at this point, many home departments have languished and died, and many others have dragged out a miserable existence,
 It has remained for Mrs. Jesse ent of the Birmingham Sunday School association, to solve this problem. The plan of the home department organized class in the active school is being worked out successfully in various schools of the city, and interest in the method is continually growing.
