SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other In
gradients, for about 80 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It Is not intend.

BIG INCREASE IN NEW GOLD
Uncle Sam Adds 500, ,ss1 900 Worth Of
Yellow Metal to His Total Wealth
In One Year.

Uncle Sam added new gold to his
total wealth during 1915 to the amount
of $98,S91, 900, which is almost rec
ord, and a gain of S4,395, 800 over 1914.
If we add to this the gold ore mined,
but not smelted yet, the total passes
100000, ,000-every penny of it new
wealth.
Says the joint report Of geological
survey and the bureau of the mint:
"An increase in the yield of gold is
indicated by the mine returns from
every important gold-mining state,
and decrease is reported from Wash
ington, while the output Of Idaho re-
mains the same.
1.-THE preliminary estimates indicate
an output of 67,4S5,600 fine ounces of
silver, valued at $34,417 ,656. Although
next to the record output of 1914 In
quantity, the value, based on the low
average price of 81 cents per fine ounce
for 1915-the lowest in the history of
the industry--was considerably below
the values for 1914 and many previous
years, when production was smaller
but prices ruled higher.
Increases in the mine production
of silver were especially notable in
Montana, Utah and Arizona, and were
considerable in Idaho, Alaska, New
Mexico and Texas but large decreases
were reported from Colorado and from
Nevada following similar decreases in
1914"

liable In preventing and controlling
these parasitic troubles, as well as the
more serious diseases-hog cholera
and tuberculosis.
Prevention Of Disease.
In dealing with the diseases of hogs,
preventive measures must be most re-
lied upon. The animals must be given
dry and well-ventilated quarters, which
must be kept clean. Contrary to COM
mon belief, hogs have some habits
which raise them above other domes-
tic animals from the standpoint of
cleanliness. For example, unless
compelled to do so, hog will not sleep
in Its own filth. If part of the floor
of the pen is raised and kept well
bedded with straw, while the rest is
not, all excrement will be left on the
Embedded portion of the floor and the
bed itself will be always clean.
In addition to cleanliness close at
tention should be given to the feed, so
that nothing may be fed that will con-
vey the germs of disease, especially
tuberculosis, to the herd. If the
hogs are fed milk in any form OBJ
tained from cows kept upon the same
farm, the cows should be subjected to
the tuberculin test. If they run with
the dairy cattle Of the farm tubercu-
lin test of all the cattle is none the
less desirable. Animals dead from
any disease should not be fed to the
hogs until the meat has been made
safe by cooking. Skim milk or refuse
from a public creamery should not be
fed to hogs until 1t has been thorough
ly sterillzed.
Feeding and drinking places should
be clean and the water supply pure.
Unless the origin is known to be un-
contaminated and there has been no
possibility of infection during its
course, hogs should not be allowed ac-
cess to any stream. Wallows should
be drained out and kept filled up as
much as possible, At least once a
month the quarters should be disin-
fected with air-slaked lime or five
per cent solution Of crude carbolic

WOMEN'S PART IN WAR

Shall we say that women contribute
only the bandages, the socks and the
Exits" No, they contribute the fighters!
What sort Of soldiers will the women of
the present day contribute to the nation
and the world? Can they hope to be ca
pable mothers or efficient wives If they
are enfeebled and broken down by the
diseases and weaknesses of the sex?
An affection confined to women must
have its cause in the womanly nature.
There is no doubt that a diseased condi-
tion of the delicate womanly organs, is In
general responsible for feminine nervous
ness and an undermined constitution. The
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes women happy by making them
healthy. There are no more crying spells.
'Favorite Prescription" is for inflamma-
ton and female weakness. 1t makes
weak women strong.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
and has been for nearly 80 years just the
medicine. 1t is not a secret prescription,
for its ingredients are printed on the
wrapper; IT'S a temperance medicine, a
glyceric extract from roots.-Adv.

as These.
acid. These precautions will be
found valuable aids In the destruction
of the various animal parasites, as
well as a protection from some more
serious troubles.
Advantage Of Isolated Hog Houses.
The advantage of isolated hog
houses, each accommodating few
hogs, rather than one large piggery
for the entire herd, has been referred
to previously. In districts where
cholera is prevalent these are undoubt-
edly the best shelters. They make 1t
more difficult to carry contagion to all
animals In the herd, and the destruc-
tion of one of them in case Of an out
break does not entail great expense.
An added advantage is that they may
be moved from place to place as need
ed. While more work Is necessary in
feeding, the convenience and safety
from their use more than offset this
disadvantage.
Danger In Inbreedlng.
While lnbreeding Is the surest and
quickest means to fix type, 1t should be
resorted to with the greatest care. The
value of the system is that 1t enables
the breeder to intensity desirable char
acteristlcs in herd and makes i'm
provement possible in shorter time
than where selection alone is used. 1t
stands to reason that If desirable
characteristics can be intensified, the
same will be true of undesirable ones.
Much of the disaster which seems to
have followed inbreeding has probably
been due to the fact that this point
was overlooked or given only slight
Importance, and thus loss Of vitality
and constitution and susceptibility to
disease have followed. Therefore II
the young breeder contemplates In
breeding, he should avoid matings that
tend to unite similar defects. Not only
should care be taken to prevent this
In the animals mated, but there should
be no chance of bad effects due to the
Inheritance Of undesirable character
istics, from parents and other ances.
tors. Some Of the greatest work ever
done in hog breeding has been based
on these principles,

soon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet. Millions of Americas

GROWERS ARE URGED 10
SIGN CONTRACTS AT ONCE
- Pinto Bean Division,
U. s. Food Administration.

- Pinto Bean Division,
U. S. Food Administration.
Denver, Colorado, Feb. 25, 'ls.
To date the Food Administration
has received contracts from growers
for less than $4,000, 900 lbs. of Pinto
Beans. This is far below the mark
set for this date. Unless signed con-
tracts from growers for several times
this amount of beans are received
within the next few days the plan
will not be successful, and growers
and shippers will lose the great bene-
fit of the Food Administration pub
licity and Introductory campaign for
Pinto Beans.
1t is evident that the growers do
not fully understand the Food Admin
istration buying plan. All must aid
in making the plan clear to growers
and in pointing out to them the i'm
/ portance of cooperating with the
Food Administration in handling the
present crop. Growers should get
contracts at once from their county
agents or local Food Administration
and send to the Bean Section, U. s.
Food Administration, Denver, Colora-
do.
In some localities pinto bean grow
ers have the impression that they can
not get their money for ninety days
if they sign the Food Administration
contract This misunderstanding
arises from the fact that the Food
Administration reserves the right to
cancel contracts unless seventy-five
per cent of the growers having beans
on hand sign contracts before March
1st. Some growers have the mistak-
en- idea that it will be ninety days
before they will know for certain
whether or not they will get the eight
cent price. 1t may be necessary to
extend the time of the announcement
a few days past March 1st as grow
ers' contracts are coming in more
slowly than was expected. This de-
pends entirely upon the growers. As
soon as it is assured that the requir-
ed seventy-five per cent of the avail
able crop has been contracted for, a
definite statement will be made and
growers will be asked to begin deliv-
ering their beans. They will receive
cash from the shipper on delivery.
The plan is to move the beans to mar
ket as soon as they can be gathered
in car lots. Some localities will neces-
sarilv he sl<ed tO de1av daIivarv lopo
er than others. This is necessary in
order to prevent the dumping of large
quantities of beans on the market at
one time. In sections where the time
of delivery is delayed, shippers may
accommodate growers by storing their
beans for them and advancing money
on them. Growers should not hesitat te
