If HAIR IS TURNING

Don't Look Old Try orandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, Lifeloss Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that duh, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle OF this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
TO restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
drur, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because II darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell II has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and drew II through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, Il is re-
stored to It's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. ADV.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
lilo Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that one reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble Is
so common to the American people, and
the large majority Of those whose appl'
cations are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
According TO this il would seem that a
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would
be a blessing to thousands,
DR.. Kilmcr & Co., B~inghamton, n. Y,
who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the well-known kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, claim that judging from evil
dence received from druggists every
where, who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indisputable
proof in the form Of grateful testimonial
letters from thousands Of reliable citi'
zens, this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful in sickness caused by kidney
and bladder troubles. Every interesting
statement they receive regarding swamp
Root is investigated and no testimonial
is published unless the party who sends

Der of years. We have had hens nine
years old that laid well. The eggs
from old hens are much larger and
are usually sure to hatch strong and
vigorous poults.
We consider that the best methods
of improving in size, weight and stand
ard markings is to select the finest
and strongest tom possible and mate
him with the largest hens, even
though they are not SO well marked,
not forgetting that the tom is half
the flock
Confine the mother hen in coop
where the poults can run in and out
at will. The coop should be moved
daily on the fresh grass and should be
supplied with plenty of wheat chaff
to keep it dry and warm. The poults
must not get wet. For the first two
weeks / give the little poults dry
wheat bran soaked in sweet milk. At
ter this they are fed almost wholly on
cracked wheat until old enough to eat
whole wheat. Sweet milk is excellent.
When half grown, give them bran
mash early in the morning before they
go off and usually put in little sui
phur, tincture of iron or liberal al
lowance of charcoal.

Cured by a Bullet.

Private Redmond of the First Colo
RADIO volunteers, once on duty at Ma
Mia, was the star sufferer of the
English Army corps. Nothing in the
way of treatment did him any good,
and he realized sadly that he could
never be even a noncommissioned Of
f1cer, because he could not give the
simplest words of command without
suffering. He was a brave and eff
cient soldier, and always first in the
firing line.
At the battle of Marquis Redmond
was shot in the mouth. The Mauser
bullet passed downward and came out
at the nape OF the neck.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he recovered rapidly, and all that
could be seen of the wound was lit
tie scar about his upper lip where the
bullet entered. But the remarka BILE
thing about the affair was when he
left the hospital he was cured of his
habit of suffering. How it happened
neither he nor the doctors can ex-
plain. but he was so joyous over the
fact that he blessed the bullet that
brought him relief.
