DANDRuFE, FALLING
HAIR STOPPED
Harmless, Old Fashioned REM
sdy Brings Back Color to Gray
Hair ana Makes It Grow.

How many old-fashioned remedies ara
being used, which goes to show that it
IS hard to improve some of our grand
mothers old-time, tried remedies. For in
stance, for keeping the hair dark, soft and
glossy nothing equals our granimothers
sage tea" Although, by the addition o.
sulphur and other Ingredients, this old,
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as a scalp tonic and color re-
storer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or
gets faded or gray, instead of going to
the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the ''tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.
Druggists are authorized to sell 1t
under guarantee that the money will be
refunded IL It fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty cents = bottle, and is

PUBLIC VOICE NOT HusHED
Western Idea That There Is Lack Of
self-critIeism In Japan Is Al
together Erroneous.

The view is assiduously cultivated
in certain circles that the Japanese
press Is one mass of self-gloriousness
and that it Is always a unit on great
public questions, but nowhere Is self
criticism more freely INDUCED, and
many as the sands are the variety of
opinions-very much after our own
home fashion, East and West says.
For instance. nothing would seem
more a subject for egotism than the
progress Of the nation in learning and
science, but long editorials are appear
ing daily crying out that educational
reform should be the great cry of the
day in Japan. Then the standard of
living 10 another bone of contention.
Some hold out for the old standards
that produced the great race capable
of making the history OF the last fifty
years, but the Chugwa. Shogyo of
Tokyo, after citing European and
American efforts to raise the people
living standard, says solemnly:
But, in the Oyient, the governed are
considered by the ruling classes as SO
much dust. The conditions of living
of the people are neglected Conse-
ouently, the majority of them are suf-
fering from difficulties Of living. They
are emaciated and sickly from lack of
nourishment. Since Bismarcks social
policy was executed, the condition of
the German people has improved con-
siderably. The value of German labor
has increased. That Is a chief cause
Of the national strength of the Ger
man people. In Japan it is different.
The strength OF the people for lack of
proper nourishment Is decreasing.
How can we expect to win in the
struggle for mastery In the world in
competition with others? The bad
taxes and the excessive issue of con-
vertible notes are responsible largely
In bringing about this sorry state here.
On the part of the people. they are
rather getting reckless in this expendi-
ture. They make unnecessary ex-
penditure, neglecting to save money
for necessary things. We should dis
courage as much as possible the habit
Of borrowing and not paying back.
Loans for business undertakings are
all right But loans for extravagant
living should be discouraged. Some
people shun labor and seek easy liv-
ing. How can they expect to be a
self-governing people? How can we
win in the field of competition under
those circumstances?"

HOW TO RAISE BETTER CORN
Vigorous Growth VIII Help Plants to
Withstand Injury Done by Many
Injurious Insects.

Rotation of crops, keeping the land
free of weeds and trash of all kinds,
late fall blowing Of infested lands,
and properly nourishing the corn
plants, are about the only practical
preventives or remedial measures
that can be applied to the insects that
attack corn in different ways, accord
ing to James Troop, chief in entomol-
ogy at the Purdue experiment station.
In a bulletin on How to Grow More
and Better Corn
1.-THE effectiveness of certain fertili-
zers as repellents has not been def
nicely determined as to extent, but the
application of manure and fertilizers
which produce vigorous growth will
at least help the plants to withstand
the injury" writes Professor Troop,
in commenting upon the difference be-
tween fields that had been treated and
fields that were not given additional
plant food. Illustrations show corn
that was fortified had been able to
make good development in spite Of
the insects, while unfertilized corn
had seriously suffered.

Observation-Disclosures
Silage as Winter Ration.

Investigations at the Missouri
experiment station show conclu-
sively that cattle can be win
tered economically on a ration
made up largely of silage, ac-
cording to F. B. Mumford. dean
of the college OF agriculture, J
University of Missouri.
In one experiment ration of
corn silage and clover hay with ,
out grain fed to yearling cattle
! for $50 days resulted in Gain ,
of 200 pounds for the feeding
period of $50 days, at a total
cost of SLIGO, or a cost of 5.5
! cents a pound of gain, as com
pared with a total cost of $15.-
: rs, and 7.8 cents pound. when
a similar lot of cattle was fed
! on six pounds OF shelled corn
per head per day and clover
hay.
These results have been con-
firmed in other experiments,
which ali point to the conclu-
sion that when silage consti-
tutes the major portion Of the
ration fed to wintering stock
cattle the cost Of wintering is
much reduced.

unwhole.ome Scotch Atmo.phsre.

The recent rumor that the kaiser is
becoming dissatisfied with the con-

dent which occurred some fourteen
years ago when the crown prince was
paying visit to Scottish duke The
crown prince was having very good
time. and making the most of his tenn
porary escape from parental supervis-
ion. However, several days before
the time fixed for his departure q
telegram was received from the kais-
er ordering the prince to proceed else
where Immediately. On his kindly
host venturing to protest against this
sudden change of plans, the German
equerry In attendance on the prince
replied: IBIS Imperial Majesty COM

Alaska's Timber Resources.

The railroad now under construc-
ton in Alaska from Seward to Fair
banks win open large tracts Of tim
Der for cutting. 1t is estimated that
twenty million acres of good forest
are found in Alaska, and four times
that area of scattered timber. Saw
mills are preparing to follow the rail-
road builders into the country and in
a few years the output of that region
will hold an important place in the
country's lumber cut. The principal
wood is spruce, but there are fairly
large quantities of others, including
paper birch.-Hardwood Record.

Siberia PICKING up.

A number of new commercial enter
prises have recently been undertaken
In northern Siberia. Many iodine
works have been established in the
neighborhood of Vladivostok, on the
shore of the Japanese sea, the iodine
being made from seaweed found there
in abundance. An interesting distil
lery for ether has been opened, the
bulk of the ingredients being violets
and iris blossoms from the Ussuri
countryside. A good deal of amber
is being collected from the beach
along the coast of Premorsk and
many new salt workings have been
opened in the government of Irkutsk
and in the Lena hinterland in the vi
cinity of Viluisk.

REDUCE COST OF BUTTERFAT
Result Given Of Experiment With Sill
age at Kansas Experiment Sta
tion-Feed Cost Saved.

An experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows
that silage reduces the cost of pro
ducing butterfat from 80 cents to FL
cents. The herds in this case were
Of sufficient size to give reliable data
and eliminate the difference that
might occur between two cows.
The lot which were fed silage gave
seven pounds more milk in the sum-
mer and 955 pounds more in winter
per month than the herd which were
fed dry feed.
The butterfat was also increased by
.46 in summer and 4.6 in winter. The
difference in the cost of feed was even
greater. The silage-fed cows saved
60 cents per month in the cost of feed.

Two large manufacturing plants at
Bayonne, in New Jersey, which en-
ploy an army of workmen of many ma
tionalities. require them to master a
standard vocabulary of 600 English
words. If, when hired, man does not
know the necessary 500 words, his en-
ployers give him, at their own expense,
enough time of to learn them. The
teaching is done in cooperation with
the local board of education. A vocabu.

Game DESTROYS French cropa.

In certain parts of France the rapid
increase of game is threatening the
crops. 1t has become necessary to
authorize the wholesale killing of rab-
bits, deer and boars, and in some
cases even Of hares and pheasants.
The sale of the rabbits and boars has
been permitted, but the pheasants and
hares were reserved for the ambu-
lances and hospitals. With the OBJ
ject of relieving the markets, NJ Jules
Melino, French minister Of agricul-
ture, has decided to allow the sale
Of hares and pheasanLs.

Tests have been made in crossing
guinea fowl with a peacock. The
hybrids resemble the peacock in their
general slender form, especially in
the head and neck, although there
was noticeable absence Of all the
characteristic appendages of the head
and the train was much reduced.
The plumage exhibited stripping,
which is considered as the primitive

now in the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey influences. but stuck to
