BE PRETTY! TURN

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streak

to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which/is mussy and trouble.

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
larg bottle of this famous ,old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in.
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it 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 an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in

HOPED MORN WOULD

MRS. BURGIN THOUGHT THE
CHANCES WERE HEAVILY
AGAINST HER.

"I was in an awful condition when
1 began taking Tanlac and had been
for two years, but Tanlac got me
back in good health" was the en-
phatic statement of Mrs. D. J. Bur-
gin, of Greer, S. c., in a statement
she gave May 10th in an endorse
ment of Tanlac. 81 was suffering
from the after effects of malaria.
My sstem was out of order, I was
weak and run down and my face was
as yellow as a pumpkin. My feet
and legs felt like they were dead
or asleep, and tingled all the time.
Really, I had begun to wonder if I
ever would regain my health, and /
didn't think I had a chance, for so
much medicine had failed to help
me. In fact, I felt so badly that /
often told my family at night
hoped there would be no stove in the
house in the morning so I would
not have to cook breakfast. I had
stomach trouble very badly, too.
""Tanlac is the grandest thing in
the world for a condition like I was
in, and it soon got my stomach in
good shape, my face cleared up and
I regained the right color and my
appetite soon came back. No mat
ter how bad a headache I had, one
dose of Tanlac relieved it. Soon the
Tanlac had me feeling fine and
strong, and after I had taken two
bottles I was we'll and strong. /
took some of the Tanlac tablets
and they helped Tanlac ever so
much to get me well. These tablets
are the best I ever took.
81 am glad to recommend Tanlac,
for it is the finest and, of course,
the only medicine that ever helped
me-"

COTTON

Reports received CnuS Id diiuieo'S
that cotton anthracnose, the fungus
boil rot of cotton, is even more w1de-
spread and more destructive ms
saeson than heretofore. During the
past five years the disease has caus-
cd an annual loss of more than a
million dollars in South Carolina.
The disease seems to be becoming
more destructive from year to year
and this in spite of the fact that the
Investigations conducted at the South
Carolina Experiment Station snow
that it can be prevented.
We have found that the fungus
which causes a~nthracnose grows IN
70 The inside of the diseased bolls,
attacks the lint and seed, and grows
into the seed. The fungus remain
alive in such seed until they are plant
ed and germinato and stare to grow
then it attacks the seedlings. Inc
disease remains alive on these stalks
and attacks the bolls when they ap-
near In this way it is carried IN
the seed and continues to spread
from year to year.
A study of the history OF the out
breaks in South Carolina during the
past four years shows that in very
nearly every case the disease was
brought to the farm in the seed,
and usually in seed of some sup
posedly highly improved variety
which was purchased at a high price.
There is no way Of curing a stalk
of cotton after it is once diseased
with anthracnose. The only thing
that you ca ndo is to protect your
cotton next year. The first and most
important step in this is to secure
seed which are free form disease.
It. is best to secure your seed for
next years planting from a field
where there is no disease. IT it IS
not possible to do this, the next best
thing to do is to pick your cotton
for seed from stalks which show no
signs of disease and which are not
near diseased stalks. 1t is not safe
to pick healthy looking stalks which
have rotten bolls on them.
We have been able to get entire
" rid of a%nthracnose in three badly
diseased varieties of cotton simply
by selecting our seed from healthy
stalks and then planting these seed
the following season on land which
the disease had not, occurred.
We find that the disease will remain
in the land or in the old diseased
stalk and bolls for as long as one
year, but not longer than this. So
it is necessary to practice rotation
which will leave cotton off the land
for one year.
1t is advisable to rotate crops for
this and other, reasons, but where
it is impossible to do this and your
cotton is diseased, the next best
thing to do is to pillow under the dis
eased stalks as soon as the cotton is
picked in the fall. Where we have
following this pratice and used seed
the following season which were free
from disease, we have had very lit
tie anthracnose.
In conclusion then l would say
not to buy cotton from any one I'M
less they are willing to make affi-
davit that it is free from ~anthracnose.
Select your W seed from fields
where there is no disease or from
healthy stalks in a diseased field.
Gin this cotton in a gin that has
a rotation. Plow the old diseased
stalks and bolls under as early
in the fall as possible.

A MERICA Is learning slowly that govern
n ment is an instrument OF force; 1t Is
learning better respect for law, espe-
cialy when the law is for the protection Of all
the people. The old doctrine is passing that
every man has a right to do anything he likes,
regardless of his neighbors, unless he can see
that he is doing them some distinct harm. The
bugbear of paternalism is also passing, and the
mass of the people in the most progressive
communities will not tolerate the logical re-
suits Of the notion that there Is no need Of
public hygiene Here are few of the meas
ures that have brought down the death rate
and raised the average age of the people,:
by improvement in milk supply in cities
and towns, the amount Of bad milk sold has
been reduced often to less than one-tenth Of
the former figure. This gain has been made
at the cost of stringent ordinances, constant
watchfulness of the milk supply, daily labora-
tory examinations of the milk frequent inspec-
tions of farms, herds and diaries, and frequent
and merciless prosecutions. And the struggle
goes on for still better hygiene and economic
conditions of milk supply-and there is need
enough for it. Rochester IN. W is wasting a
half million dollars annually in the way her
milk is delivered to her people
2.-Diphtheria Intitoxin, and the almost uni
versal use of 1t in cases of this disease has
materially lowered the death rate The cost
has been campaign Of education Of the medi-
cal profession and public as to the life saving
value of the measure; the supply of the article
free for the poor: the examination of throat
specimens at public cost, and the insistence
on scrupuosity In the manufacture of antitoxin.
3.-Improvement in water supply for urban
and rural populations. often at enormous ex-
pense to the public, has cost strenuous political
educational and social campaigns to induce the
governments to vote the approp ,iations For

yention of malaria and yellow fever. These
feyers have been among the most destructive

10.-The pure food and drug laws now in

health among the people, as they have repressed

was bitterly opposed in Congress and the Legis-

1.-THE regulation and partial suppression
Of the use Of alcohol has cut out great amount
of useless expense to the people, as it has re-
duced the amount Of sickness This is the
verdict of the statistcians generally, notwith-
standing the contention to the contrary by some
good men / elieve that no woman has made
such contention We have undertaken, by
Federal law, to suppress the popular use OF
opium and cocaine except in cases OF known
and necessitous sickness. And public sentiment
will not allow this law to be repealed. We
have made no large attempts at reducing the
use of tobacco. except for children. Tobacco
has been shown to increase the death rate, and
the ha bit is a money-eat Besides being very
