FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is SO at
tractfve, use only the old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, SO even
ly, that nobody can possibly tell it
has been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful appear
ance to the hair. 1t Is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
Of disease.

WOULD RAISE FOOD IN YARDS
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
Urges City DwelIers to Aid In
Increasing Food Supply.

A statement urging that as patri.
otic duty city residents transform their
yards into gardens, and farmers so d.
verslfy their crops as to make each
section self-sustalning, was issued by
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary Of
agriculture.
The great need in wartime, Mr.. vroo-
man said, Is surplus of wheat with
which the nation can feed Its allies He
also declared the acreage of soy beans
md cow peas should be increased to
augment the source of protein, for
which In time of emergency they could
take the place Of meat for human con-
sumption. Two or three crops Of some
sort should be raised during the COM
ing summer, he said, on every vacant
square foot In the cities.

CHEMISTS WAR FACTOR
Should Be Kept From Firing Line,
Says U. S. Aid.
Needed In Making Munitions, Testint
Foods and Perfecting Other In
dustriaI Activities.

"The chemist and mining engineer
Will play most important part In win
ming the war for the United States
said Charles Curtis, superintendent Of
Uncle Sans customs assaying labora-
tory in Kansas City, Mo.
1.-THE development of explosives and
poison gases is wholly chemical proc
ess. The problems of trench digging,
mining and other earth operations are
those of the mining engineer.
Recognizing these facts, the Ameri-
can Chemical society has offered Its
services to the president, and Is mobil-
lzlng Its forces for war.
"We are In the best possible position
to take advantage of the experience
and mistakes Of the other countries
Germany has made a terrible mistake
In sending her chemists to fight In the
trenches. Several hundred of the most
eminent chemists In Germany have
been killed, and their services are lost,
not only to Germany, but to the world.
The chemists should be kept out Of the
firing line and put to work in making
munitions, testing foods and perfectlng
other industrial activities in their line.
american chemists are naturally
thinking of new devices which will be
Of service In the war. The chlorine gas
used by Germany Is terrible, but 1t is
mild compared with others that might
be employed, such as bromine or fluor-
Inc. These things are positively devil
ish, and 1t is terrible to think of using
them, but 1t seems that war stops at
nothing these days."

SAYS HOT WATER

FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog

physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver

tant, also the most abused and neglect
ed organ of the body. Few know its
function or how to release the damned
up body waste, bile and toxins. Most
folks resort to violent calomel, which
is a dangerous, salivating chemical
which can only be used occasionally
because 1t accumulates In the tissues
also attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or well
should drink each morning before

Limestone phosphate does not re.
strict the diet like calomel, because II
can not salivate, for 1t is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
and any pharmacist will sell you a
quarter pound, which is sufficient for
demonstration of how hot water and
limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates
and freshens the liver, keeping you
feeling fit day in and day out.

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens 30 II
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

new DRINK INVENTED
Uncle Sans Apple Expert Makes
Concentrated Cider.
No Manufacturer VIII Market It for
None Can Get Exclusive Use Of
the Formula.

With the problem of finding way
to utilize the vast percentage of waste
in the annual apple crop Of the land,
0ne-fourth Of which is lost In the orch
ards, II. O. Gore, chemist in charge Of
Uncle Sans fruit and vegetable utili-
zation laboratory, discovered that this
great apple loss was not so much due
to lack of cold storage and marketing
conditions as to a lack Of knowledge
on the part of the farmers as to what
to do with the culls and apples for re-
tail sale that would net them any
profit.
Cider-making, though neither diff
cult nor expensive, did not give the
solution, for 1t is so perishable, SO
bulky, and the price 1t brings too low
to make 1t profitable. So, also, cider
may be made into vinegar, but there is
limitation to that market.
All sorts Of experiments were made
toward finding method Of keeping
cider, but they did not result satisfac-
torily. Finally a barrel of frozen cider
gave the key. 1t was observed that
when the cider was allowed to freeze
naturally, the ice formed in nearly
solid mass around the outer sides Of
the barrel, leaving In the center con-
centrated nonfrozen liquid which pos
sessed all of the flavor, but which con-
tained much less water. The outer ice
proved to be mostly water, with very
little Of sugar. Analysis Of the con-
centrated cider proved that it con-
tanned sufficient proportions of the acid
and sugar to preserve it, and the
chemist believed that at last had been
found means to keep cider for the
market after its usual season was
past.
Laboratory experiments duplicating
natures freezing finally established
the fact that concentrated cider would
keep much longer than in its original
condition and in cold storage would
keep indefinitely.
Delicious as this new kind Of cider
Is, 1t is not being adopted commercial
ly, for the simple reason that no man
ufacturer is willing to put 1t on the
market, though all who have sampled
It admit its superiority to many Of the
soft drinks which now are popular at
the soda fountains. The reason is that
Uncle Sam will not give the formula
exclusively to any one bother. The
leading drink purveyors insist that
commercial success in marketing a
new drink depends chiefly upon the
manufacturer having the exclusive se-
cret and patented recipe which will
give his brand monopoly.
However, being always paternal,
Uncle Sam has gone still further In
his efforts to teach the apple raisers
the full value of their crops, for he
has had his chemists compile and is
sue bulletin with all of the methods,
directions, cost and even recipes for
the utilization of cider made in this
new way, and then teaching ways Of
making splendid apple sirup that Is
marketable. The same bulletin gives
recipes for number of dishes In
which the slrup forms part.

Seek Heirs of Men Who
Died in Uncle Sans Army

The endeavor Of the Euro
pean nations to locate the rela-
tives of men who have fallen In
battle while serving the various
foreign legions bears an inter
esting comparison to similar ef-
forts now being undertaken by
Uncle Sam to trace the relatives
or heirs of men In the American
service who have died, some Of
whom have left valuable prop
erty.
The United States Marine
corps issued bulletin contain
ing the names Of Sergt. Albert
Jolly of Melbourne, Australia;
Corporal Thomas Brophy of
Dublin, Ireland, and Private
Owen Woods (former address
unknown), in further effort to
locate their heirs or next Of kin.
These men, who have been dead
over ten years, left effects of
considerable value, and numer-
GUS inquiries during that period
have failed to locate their right
full heirs.

Argentina Ruyina Automobiles.

Big shipments of automobiles from
the United States to Argentina in 1916
were reported by Uncle SAM. The to-
tai imports into the South American
republic during the year amounted to
4,676 machines. The greater part OF
the cars imported into Argentina are
of comparatively small type, designed
particularly for country use. Small
cars are becoming popular among
farmers, who find them of great serv-
ice, 1t is said, in facilitating rural
business.
