FRANKLIN STlRS THE FRENCH

Benjamin Franklin, as American

the French revolution and of constitr-
tlonal government in Europe, accord
ing to Or. Davit, Jayne Hill, formerly
ambassador to Germany.
'Frankln became a craze" Doctor
Hill said recently. "and undoubtedly
was one Of the greatest diplomatists in
our history. His picture was every

he became the venerable of the Nine

men who later figured prominently in
the revolution.
But wher Franklin arrived In
France there was no linking of cevo-
luton there. He did not preach against
the king who received him. There was
no secret conspiracy or anything Of
that sort. Franklin merely used those
organizations as means Of propa gat-

be called his school Of constitutional

Doctor Hill said that while Franklin
lived at P;essy he had a small printing
press in his meme. It was generally
said that this was useu by the minister
to print 'bagatelles," or bits of rhyme.

once had been printer. But he en-
ployed a compositor at one time and
ordered large quantities Of type, and
it is believed that he used the printing
press to propagate his doctrines.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARkEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair a good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is Of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about SO cents bottle
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing 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, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is SO attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful ap-
pearance. It is not intended for the cure.
mitigation Or prevention of disease.

LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Fake glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because We eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with Uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from oVerwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of

cloudy, full Of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or thres times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid

the weather is bad, get from your phar-
nacis5 about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and yocr kidneys will then act fine.

The action Of limestone phosphate

Dynamite for Mosquitoes.

The residents of small town in
New Jersey were for years pestered
by an unusual number Of mosquitoes
which, upon investigation, were found
to be propagating in stagnant pools
of water lying between the railroad
tracks and the nearest street. 1t was
found that these could not be drained
ito the street cutters, hence another
method had to be employed, and it
was decided to sink the water into the
ground. A heavy charge of dynamite
was sunk and discharged about 20 feet
under the surface. This caused the
pools of water to disappear in short
order, and they disappeared perman-

Stafford would have taken her first
experience as great joke if she had
not been devoted to so important an
errand. The footpad who stole her
handbag stole also her transportation.
She felt that she might as we'll have
been lost in Florida everglades again.
Of course, she would have had pro-
lection by appealing to almost any Of
the wayfarers. But, after her encount-
err with the pickpurse, she looked on
everybody with suspicion. She slipped
through the crowded streets and fitted
along the deserted byways on the hunt
for the murderer of her lover. She
was afraid Of everybody and every
thing, but most afraid Of losing that
man.
At last she saw him again ahead
of hen He was wandering rather aim
lessly. He had apparently dropped in
at one or more Of the little swinging
doors that tapped on every corner.
Gloria fastened after him, but before
she could quite catch up he clambered
on surface car. The conductor had
to help him aboard. He was so busy
at that task that he did not see
Gloria's wildly waved hands or hear
her command, "Stop that CARP
If Gloria had caught the car she
could not have paid the fare, though
she might have given the conductor a
nickeIs worth of Irritation. At any
rate, she missed the car. Several
other cars came near not missing her
as she stood irresolute in the middle
Of the street.
Then a taxicab hustled along. Gloria
felt more at home. She did not have
to pay the taxicab till the end of the
voyage. She could probably have the
fare charged. From the look of the
ramshackle thing she could buy the
cab for nothing. She told the taxicab
to follow the street car ahead and
keep near it, without passing it. The
taxi driver was greatly impressed.

Emergency Crops

AS guide in meeting the crisis.
which is now confronting the South,
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage of
cotton per plow may be maintained.
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield Lint will
bring good price, and seed will prove
valuable because Of their oil. On a
25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
OF cotton may be given each plow. and
II Is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed.
AZ least two acres should be given to
soy oeans or cOWpeas and sorghum for
nay. one acre for grazing; one acre
LOT sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
OF vegetables. This will give a total
OF 70 acres, and represents onlv the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately af-
ter some of these are harvested.
everything bearing upon large
Yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared
the best known varieties used: the
rlght kind and liberal amounts of fer
tlllzer applied, and thorough cultiva-
tiop given.
This is of special importance over
much OF the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 600 pounds of fertil-
lzer should be used per acre On the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure annie
fertilizer to put under their crons at
the time the land was being prepared.
1t is recommend that liberal side
application of fertilizer be used on all
crops already planted Increase of cron
yields will come with increase in o,1sr.
