HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray, faded hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, all ready to use, at very
little cost This simple mixture can
be depended upon to restore natural
color ano beauty to the hair.
A we'll known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it thru your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two. it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This preparation
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.-Adv.

Save The WHEAT
Movement Is On for More
Careful Threshing.
2,5OO,OOO Bushels Estimated as
Wasted Last Year.

Wichita, Kan, May "a move
ment to prevent waste of wheat in
threshing was inaugurated in Kansas
today when Walter P. Innes, federal
food administrator, called on all coun-
ty administrators to organize thresh-
ermen's committees.
Complaints have come from farmers
indicating that some threshermen feed
grain into the machine so fast that
from l to 10 per cent of the wheat
goes thru the blower into the straw
stack Other causes of waste are the
threshing of unripe or damp grain,
failure to have the cylinders. screens
and other parts of the machines in
good repair.
Last summer in several places care
full threshermen followed up careless
crews and made good profit rethresh-
ing straw stacks. 1t is estimated the
loss last year in Kansas, due to send
ing wheat into straw stacks, was g.
5000 bushels.
Farmers will be asked to use no
leaky wagons in hauling grain and
they will be asked to rake the shock
rows after loading, to recover wheat
which has fallen from the sheaf.

BANKERS GO HOME
state Association Closes Successful
Convention in Topeka

Kansas state bankers closed their
convention in Topeka by urging all
state bankers to study provisions OF
the federal reserve system. Later, II
was urged by many bankers. the
smaller state bankers may come un-
der the system with which several OF
the stronger state banks are now
associated.
One CT the really big questions be-
fore the bankers association this year
concerned the policy of state banke
in coming under provisions or the
federal reserve act. A number OF
Objectionable features to the law, as
well as many of its strong points,
were discussed by Breckenridge Jones
of st. Louis The smaller state banks
arc unable to come under provisions
of the law until amendments are in
corpora.ed as to capitalization. Some
of the larger state banks of Kansas.
including the Kansas Reserve State
bank Of Topeka, have given their cor
respondents the advantages of the
system by qualifying under the re-
serve act.
The state bankers will meet in Win
field next year. The Cowley county
town made the only bid for the con-
yention.

CARPENTERS AT WORK
Strike in Topeka Since April I Is
Settled at Last.

More than 200 Topeka carpenters
returned to work this morning after
being on a strike since April 1. The
carpenters went back to work follow
ing a compromise wage agreement
with the contractors at meeting held
at III West Sixth avenue. The wage
agreed upon for the carpenters was
62k cents an hour.
Four construction jobs of more than
usual importance have been tied up
since the carpenters quit work because
of wage difference involved in the
making of a new contract with the
contractors. The interrupted work in
cluded that on the Central National
Bank building, the Forbes mill in
North Topeka, the corn mill for the
Topeka Flour Mills Co. and the Santa
Fe files and office building opposite
the r. R. Y. NJ. c. A on East Fourth

BIC WHEAT CROP
Federal Report Shows Indica-
tons 96,OOO,OOO Bushels.
This Is Estimate Made for Pro.
ductiOn in kansas.

General rains took command of the
Kansas wheat drive the first Of April
and led the crop to substantial gains
in nearly every county, according to
a report by Edward c. Paxton, Kan
sas field agent for the department of
agriculture. Wheat fields that looked
dead month ago are now in fairly
good condition, Paxton says, and
$4,000 OF the $4,000 acres plant
ed will be harvested
This condition, it is asserted, fore
casts a harvest of 96,104,OOO bushels
against 45,670,000 bushels in 1917
The general conditions of other
crops are good. The alfalfa crop has
never looked better and the rye is on
an incline.
In the northwest district 43.3 per
cent of the wheat was abandoned,
leaving an acreage of 622,965, the
condition of which is IT'S per cent
The acreage abandoned, the remain
ing acreages and the condition of the
intact acreage in other Kansas dis

ARE BACK HAPPY

came along with free stride and easy

ness. One great Montana lumberman
who lowered above his fellows and was
the astonlShment OF the French, bore a
lNid scar upon his check. His clothes
were torn, and he had evidently seen
some hard going but he looked like a
man OF steel as he strobe through the

Of Americans with their camouflaged
artillery, cook wagons and all the

section OF the front, though ! had be-
lore visited the section from which they
came.
The American boys have won great
praise for their part in the victory OF
the second battle OF the Marine. Al
though It is stated in the Paris papers
that the gallant French veterans mum
bered about 10 percent Of the total Of
The allied forces participating in that
memorable struggle, vet the dash and
spirit OF the Americans were indeScrib-
ably magnificent and were an inspira-
tion to the allied forces and to the
American soldiers everywhere in
Francs Moreover the American boy,
have developed a fighting skill OF their
own. Military experts say they have
acquitted themselves like veterans and
have avoided many casualties by their
open formations in Sklrmi>hing.
An American captain at the bottom
of shell hole was fired on by a Ger
man with an automatic revolver. The
captain charged toward his enemy and
reached hlm and killed him lust after
the last shot was fired He escaped
unscathed Tales such as this are told
by every returning soldier
Our American boys have shown

and the irregularities OF the ground.
They move swiftly and with rifle and
bayonet have proved themselves more
than match for their adyersaries. They
have taken a glorious part in the win
ming OF one OF the great battles OF all
history
Seeing the boys returning from the
fight for a rest, laughing and chatting
on the Hat cars, watering their horses
and crowding 10 the kitchen wagons
which were in full blast preparing
breakfast before they had been unloadcd
one may conclude that the army de
spite It's trials and hardships has its
bright moments
Yet even under hardship the boys
