makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
a hundredfold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get a bottle of "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which is merely
the old-time recipe ingredients. Thou
sands of folks recommend this ready
touse preparation, because it darkens
the hair beautifully, besides, no one
can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moiSten
a sponge or soft brush with it, draw
ing this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes thick,
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.

and pour some oil on the roads the
thing would be done and our trouble
would be over. While we are of the
opinion that, II rightly done, oiling
would be a great help, we are equally
of the opinion that IL not rightly done
it will simply be a waste Of money,
writes T. T. Smith of Montgomery
county, Illinois, in Farmers Review.
To begin with, the road must be
SO shaped that water cannot stay on
1t; it must be so graded UP in the
center and the bitches so opened at
the sides that the water will run off
quickly, and it must be kept in this
shape, or oiling will be of very little
use. In fact, if we would only do the
work necessary to fit the roads for
oiling, we would have fairly good
roads-such roads as could be used
by an automobile most of the time.
We haven't read of or heard of an
expert on the oiling question but who
says that before oiling the roadbed
must be put in proper shape and after
oiling it must be kept in shape. If
this is not done we will be disap-
pointed in the job. While we yield to
no one in the desire for better roads.
we are not very sanguine about oiling
under present conditions. Judging by
the work done by the majority Of COM
missioners of highways, we have grave
doubt about its advisability and we
wish to repeat IL we will only put the
roads in proper condition and keep
them in that condition. we will have
good roads without oiling.

INTEREST IN ROAD BUILDING
Until Farmer Becomes Owner Of Mo-
tor Car He Is Apt to Be Conserva-
tive on Highway Question.

Never, perhaps, has there been so
much interest taken in road building
as is being taken now. This is
caused largely by the automobile. Just
in proportion as the number of auto
mobiles increases the interest in road
building increases.
Until he becomes the owner of an
automobile the farmer is apt to be
mighty conservative on the question
of roads, says the Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Often he objects on the
ground that making good roads in
creases his taxes and only affords a
pleasure way for the automobile Joy
riders. AS soon, however, as he be-
comes the owner of an automobile, he
becomes a good roads booster and
has little patience with the man who
talks against good roads.
We are, however. learning a lot
about building roads and still have a
good deal to learn. It looks now as
If the concrete road might be the last
word in road building and prove in
the long run to be the cheapest road
that can be built. Finally. however.
1t is quite possible that the flying ma,
chine will reach such state of perfec
ton that flying machines will be as
common as automobiles are now, and
the need for roads for pleasure ridint
will be greatly lessened.

Arab Foes

The Arab who is fighting with the
Turks In Mesopotamia has some curl
Gus ways. He takes of his shoes
when he enters a house, but keeps on
his hat. He reads and writes from
right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast or dinner, but in
the evening he sits down TO hot meal
swimming in oil. His sons eat with
him. but the ladies of the household
wait till the males have finished.
The Arab rides a donkey when trav-
cling. his wife walking behind, and he
laughs at the idea OF giving up his
seat for woman. The Arab has one
strong virtue, and that is. he is rarely
seen drunk. He is not very affection
ate, is very ignorant, and has so little
initiative that he rarely takes on any
thing worth doing. or attempts tc
carry out any enterprise

URGED CULTIVATION or TREES

the selection, all the fine trees might
in time be employed until every coun-
ty would become an arboretum. Such
is the spirit of emulation that if q

other towns would catch the inspira-
tion. and the work would go on with
energy until all unclothed road would

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something to
Say Aboct the Disposition Of
Their Product

A farmer possessed few swarms
Of bees which he kept in what are
called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds OF honey each, an
exchange says. About eight of these
were placed on the top of the hive, and
as at least one side of each box was of
glass. the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filed with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early In the morning. before the bees
came out to begin the labors of the
day, or at night when they had fin
ished them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take it out in the after
roon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood few
rods from the house, and ON that side
or the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly of glass, the bottom OF
each was made of little stats, so that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes.
carried them into the cellar. shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much, so that the
cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been dark.
The bees were so excited, ana en-
ragged that they few In all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way. When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. Early the next morning
the farmer looked out Of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not a bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey. as
they were the day before when taken,
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air. being filed only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

FIRES AND TOWN PLANNING
Many Instances May Be Cited Where
Little Foresight Would Have
Saved Much Money.

Paris, Tex, which recently Jumped
into notice because fire destroyed the
greater part of the town, is busy with
plans for rebuilding according to a
systematic town plan. A town planner
has been imported. and when Paris
rises from its ashes ii will be a better
built and more convenient town to get
around in than 1t ever was before, IL
what is accomplished comes up to the
expectation Of the people,
The people OF Paris show remark
able spirit when they are able to sur
vey their ruined town and still have
mind and foresight left to think Of
town planning along modern lines; but
the chances OF success would have
been better If the plan had been
evolved before the fire, when Paris
had more time for elaboration and a
gradual upbuilding of public sentiment.
When the village of Detroit was re-
planned. more than a century ago,
after fire that burned every building
in the place, mistakes were made that
plague the city to this day San Fran
cisco ignored its great opportunity
decade ago. If Chicago had had
town plan back In the seventies Chi
Cages present planning problems
might not be half so formidable, and In
this country of big fires any city may
have its melancholy chance to make
new street lines or lay out new parks
over its ashes.
The remoteness of the chance that a
confiagration will visit, any city may
seem to make this consideration but q
weak argument for planning, but
1t is not necessary to- burn a whole
town down to give the wellmatured
town plan a, chance. In, Cleveland not
many years ago the burning OF sin
gle building, gave. the city an oppor-
tuntty to make, an extremely valuable
street extension in the. downtown dis
trfct. If that particular extension had
not been in the public mind for long
while the chance might have been
overlooked and q heavy bill for a
wrecked building would have been the
result when the, street was finally:
opened.-Chicago Herald.

Lemon juice is a well-known rem
edy for seasickness and nausea and
as a cooling and refreshing drink in
fevers 1t does more to diminish the
craving of thirst than any other form
of beverage.
Lemons are most delightful as fla.
vor for various dishes as appetizers.
or as fruit desserts. An eighth of a
lemon with bit of fish is an accom-
panimen altogether indispensable.
The color is of value, appealing to the
eye, thus adding to the value of the
food thus garnished.

SILK From sawdust.

Making artificial silk from sa 2dust
and other lumber waste ia the latest
experiment of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its principal
use was in the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently tho manu-
facture of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry of vast impor-
lance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries, etc., neckties, ribbons.
sweater coats, etc. About 100000
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture.
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic I've to form a viscose, which
is allowed to age for some time. 1t
Is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by q
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
mum sulphate, and sodium borate, or
formic acid. After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for use. The
laboratory is investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as a possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
variety of articles made from the
material.-Boston Transcript

Water Used to Wreck Bridge.

In the wrecking of Berlin bridge
by water pressure, adopted to avoid
concussion. a steel cylinder. fitted with
cement at the other end, was inserted
in holes about 80 inches deep bored
into the piers. A one-inch pressure
pipe connected the cylinder to by
draulic pump weighing only about 60
pounds. AS pressure was raised in
the cylinder by the action of the pump
the pistons were gradually forced out
and the masonry blocks were split
away, one by one. The process is de-
scribed as rapid and almost noiseless
operating without risk to nearby build
ings.
