IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darker and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances it's appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition OF other ingre-
dents for so cents large bottle, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly no
body can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared. and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous, This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight

sire dark hair and a youthful appear

WILT INJURIES COTTON PLANT
DiscoIoration Inside the Stem Is
Characteristic of Disease
Fungus Given as Cause.

(By c. A M'LENDON. South Carolina
Experiment Station)
Wilt attacks the cotton plant at any
time between June Is and September
/, causing it to be stunted or to wilt
and die. Plants affected with the dis
ease are always discolored inside the
stem, which when split shows brown.
ish or black streaks beneath the bark
and in the tissues. L.scoloration in.
side the stem is very characteristic
of the disease.
Wilt is caused by fungus which
enters the roots of the plant from the
soil. This fungus is primarily a soil
organism and will remain alive in soil
almost indefinitely. The disease is
spread through movement of soil In
which 1t occurs. Because of the ma,
ture Of the germ, rotation cannot be
relied upon to control wilt and fungi.
cides are useless because they cannot
be applied to the diseased portion OF
the plant.
The only control measure that has
succeeded is the use of varieties which
have been bred for wilt-resistance.
Two such varieties, the Dixie and the
Dillon, have been developed and
through the use of them many farms
on which wilt had made 1t impossi.
BILE to grow cotton successfully have
been restored to their normal pro
ductiveness.

The lower estimate is about the av-
erage for most sections of the South,
while the higher figures cover the ex-
IRENE cost of production. The average
cost in Florida is between these two,
but nearer the higher estimate. 1t
should be borne in mind that in these
estimates the interest on the invest
ment and all labor costs are included.
Where the grower does not fertilize or
mulch his crop the cost should be
lower than in the estimates. 1t Is the
farmer who secures more than the av.
erage yield who makes a success in
growing strawberries, while those who
produce less than the average for the
region are losing money, if interest on
the investment and the labor of the
growers are considered With a yield
of 5000 quarts to the acre, which is
the average of many growers, there is
good profit in growing strawberries.
Yields OF 1000 and 5000 quarts to the
acre are not uncommon.

Each year thousands of bushels of
Strawberries go to waste in the larger
producing centers of the United States
condition. In many regions of the
South 20 to 25 per cent of the crop is
never gathered, because the prices to-
ward the end of the season are too low
to justify picking the fruit. This is a
great loss that should be avoided
With the increasing demand for straw
berry products, such as crushed fruit,
jellies, preserves and marmalades. this
loss can be greatly reduced.
Within the last few years some of
the manufacturers of food products
have been putting up fresh strawber-
ries in large quantities for use at soda
fountains and in the manufacture of
ice cream. This industry can be de-
veloped into one of great importance
to the producer, manufacturer and con-
sumner. Several large manufacturers
buy surplus strawberries and put them
up In the field, while others ship the
fruit to their home factory One Of
the best methods of handling the fruit
is as follows: Wash the berries thor
oughly in cold water, put them into
tight barrels with sugar in about equal
weights, loaS in refrigerator cars, and
ship to a cOld-storage plant where they
can be held until needed. Sometimes
the berries are crushed before being
put into the barrels, but in most cases
they are packed as nearly whole as
possible. When ready for use they are
taken from storage and manufactured
into the various products. If the fruit
is in good condition at the time it is
placed in cold storage it can be kept

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-knoTn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full oc sediment. channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, canno:

TEACHES BOYS WAR GAME

Washington has unique pre-

has recently been started for officers
of the High School Cadet regiments.
Lieut.. E. 2. Steever, U. s. A., who Is
the voluntary instructor, is careful
to keep all thought of war in the back
ground, as far as possible, in teaching
the boys, yet the lessons which they
are learning are such as will better
qualify them to do their bit" for their
homes in case the need ever arises.
At present the work is along theo-
retical lines, conducting imaginary
troops over large maps; later prac-
tical work is to be done in the field.
Boys who have played" the map
game" are enthusiastic over 1t. They
claim 1t is more interesting than check
ers, chess or cards. Withal, they are
learning something; not how to be
militarists, but how to be resourceful;
how to be logical and how to act
promptly. Lieutenant Steever is also

QUIT MAKING SPEECHES? NEVER

dotes on making speeches. He is free
to say that he would much prefer to
abandon almost any other vice he has
rather than speechmaking. Last sum-
mer MARITIME was one of a number of
members of congress who went on a
journey to Hawaii. Part of their en-
tertainment there consisted of an ini-
tiation into a so-called Order of Ha-
waiian Chiefs. This initiation, which
was held on lonely island, reserved
for that purpose, was a good deal like
joining a college fraternity. Dignified
congressman wore no clothes except
a modish skirt made of grass, and
were put through various amusing
capers. One feature of the exercises
was an electric mat on which great
men were laid full length, with hands
and feet tied, and blindfolded. Then
the electric current was turned on and
all manner of grave promises were ex-
acted from the victims. Uncle Joe

DR.. Harry c. Frankenfield, one of
the chief forecasters of the weather
bureau, is a member of the National
Aero club. In spite of the fact that
throughout the entire country eighty
five out Of the hundred forecasts of
the weather are correct, it is generally
believed that Doctor Frankenfeld has
in his representations disappointed
more persons than anyone else in the
United States. = the fact remains
the weather bureau saves the country
at least 500, 100000 annually and that

Strawberries to the North.
for long time without to any great
extent losing its fresh color and flavor.
The keeping of strawberries under
refrigeration is a comparatively new
undertaking, but results that have
been secured indicate that in time this
can be made an important industry. 1t
is possible to keep the fruit in such a
way that its quality is practically I'M
impaired. In a single storage house
that has come under the observation
of the writer 5000 barrels of crushed
sugared strawberries were held at a
temperature between 80 and 40 de-
grees. Proper storage is an important
matter, for it will enable the grower to
dispose of his surplus crop and at the
same time will provide the consumer
with a wholesome strawberry product
throughout the year. When growers
are banded together into large asso-
citation it often should be possible for
them to manufacture strawberry by
products at the producing center un-
der the management of the organiza-
ton.
Cost of Growing Strawberries.
The cost Of growing strawberries
varies between wide limits, depending
upon the locality and the methods Of
culture. In most sections of the South
the average cost of production is SIS
to $50 per acre, but in some cases the
cost is very much higher, especially in
Florida.
Below is an estimate of the cost per
acre of growing strawberries in the
South:
