Be PRETTY! TURN
CRAY HAIR DARK
Look youngl Nobody can tell If you
use Grandmother's simple re-
cipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound.
ed, brings the natural color and lus-
tire to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray 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 Compound" you viii get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don's stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a 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 APP
plication or two; your hair becomes
beautifully dark glossy and attract.

Holyoke Resident Gives High

SUFFERED TEN YEARS
O'Brien Says Il Now Recommend
TanIac Because II Has Helped
Me So Much"

Have you ever watched the employ
ees OF a large factory starting their
work in the morning? You have pro-
baby noticed how some men pick up
their tools and resume their work Of
the day before in manner that is full
o. life and ginger, as if they really
had good refreshing nights sleep
and were at peace with the world and
themselves. And then you have seen
the others come in yawning, stretch
ing, eyes half closed, the body appar-
entity almost awake, the mind partly
asleep. And yet these sleepy ones,
no doubt, retired early, they were not
out on a spree the night before. They
are just simply tired and they don't
know why.
A disordered stomach will put a
person ION the outs with himself for
no apparent reason. One becomes
sluggish and entirely inefficient for
the serious things expected OF him.
= Tanlac, the Master Medicine, has
helped hundreds OF local residents by
providing an up-building tonic for the
digestive system.
Daniel O'Brien of 81 Hampden
Street, Holyoke, Mass, machinist,
has been a sufferer from catarrh of
the head and stomach for 10 years.
Since taking Tanlac he related the fol-
lowing interesting story September
% at George r. 0'Connors Drug
Store, Holyoke. In full. Mr. OBrien
said:
81 have suffered from catarrh of
the head and stomach for 10 years.
Every morning when | would wake up
| was all filled up.
never took anything that helped
me until ! saw Tanlac advertised and
started to take 1t.
81 have now taken two bottles and
] am feeling much better. The cat
arrh is going away quickly and now
feel better every morning.
81 am now glad to recommend Tan
lac because it helped me so much"
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, Is the
most rational weapon against catarrh
as 1t soon brings about an astonishing
improvement in your spirits and gen
eral condition.
Tanlac is now being introduced and
explained in Bennington at William
l.. Gokay's Drug Store, and can also
be obtained in all neighboring cities
and towns at the Tanlac Stores.

Athens Feb. 29.-"Shall farmers of
south Georgia, especially grow pea
nuts to take the place of part of
their cotton crops?" is live question
at present among the farmers and oil
mill men of that section. The price of
oil expressed from peanuts is high.
and at present affords the special in
centive that is inducing mill men in
some sections to contract for crop
of peanuts in advance.
To find out what the farmers may
hope for from this source the College
of Agriculture sent Prof. John R.
Frain to the peanut growing and mar
keting centers to study the question
The results of his observations have
just been embodied in a circular is
sued. by the college.
The outstanding features of this re-
port are that at present, business CON
ditions are normal During normal
years, the production of peanuts in
this country about equals the demand
and when there is a shortage, impor-
tation from China and Japan keep
down the price The best market for
peanuts is afforded by tn confection-
cry or edible market. Next to this
comes a question, will it pay better
to. sell nuts for oil purposes or feed
then to swine"
Ii the grower of peanuts can CON
tract his crop ahead at Is cents per
bushel, he can figure profit some
thing Ike Is cents per bushel based
on a yield of forty bushels per acre,
and the average cost for growing and
marketing them. If the farmer does
not have his crop contracted at fair
price and wants to make the venture,
it is advised that he be in position to
feed them to swine should the general
market be off at harvest time.
The porduction of peanut oil must
compete in the market not only with
the edible trade and swine feeding but
it is influendced by imported nuts. by
the price of oil manufactured from

African nuts bought at 80 and 90 cents
per pound; it may be influenced by
soy bean oil now beginning to be made
in this country, but above all it will
be influenced by the price at which
cottonseed oil is going.
Spanish peanuts are now bringing
Is cents per bushel, but the question
is, Can the mills continue to paw the
price should cottonseed drop to SIS to
$50 per ton?" The consensus of oil
mill men is that ordinarily they would
not be able to pay more than from 40
to 90 cents per bushel for peanuts.
The average yields through the
Carolina and Virginia section is from
3 5to so bushels per acre. From sew.
eral sources it was learned that grow
ing and putting the peanuts on the
market costs close to 2 cents per
pound. Under normal conditions,
therefore, a farmer could only break
even at about 90 cents per bushel To
do better farmer must either reduce
the cost OF production or increase the
yield.
Taking the average yield of peanuts
at forty bushels per acre in Georgia.
the price at 40 to 90 cents per bushel,
the gross income from feeding to
swine will be from $40 to $24 per acre.
This is figured on the basis of pea
ducting 200 pounds of pork
per acre Ordinarily greater), the pork
selling at from to s cents per pound
live weight. But from this gross in
come must be taken the cost of grow
ing the nuts which is about cent per
pound. If the pork sold at cents
this would only be a break-even.
More pounds of pork can ordinarily be
made per acre and a profit can, there
fore, be expected. The value of the
peanut produced meat may be en-
HANGED by proper supplementary feed
ing. Feeding hogs has the advantage
also of maintaining and probably in
creasing soil fertility, while selling off
the nuts decreases it.

Flyetcher, of Florida, chairman of the
joint committee of congress which
framed the administration rural
credits bill, made speech in the SEN
ate Saturday outlining the provisions
of the measure and declaring its pas
sage would furnish a sound basis for
financing the farm and bring real, to
take the place of fancied, independ-
ence to the farmer"
The senator defended the contsitu-
tionality of the rural credits measure.
citing numerous decisions in support
of his position. He referred to recent
statements by Comptroller Williams
regarding high interest rates charged
in many states and presented letter
from the Florida commission of agri-
culture estimating that loans to farm
ers in that state cost the borrowers,
attendant expenses, an av-
erage of II per cent.
The federal reserve act, Senator
Fletcher said, was so drawn that if
every national banking association in
the country loaned up to the maxi
mum permitted on farm land the total
would not exceed $45O,O0O,O00 where
