of food. Everything you eat is
: high and going up. There's no
better way for you to help win the
war and help yourself than to raise
more farm products. There's no bet
ter place for you to do this and get
started with so little money than
Western Nebraska, Eastern COIOra-
do, Wyoming or Montana. Climate,
transportation and markets are
right. You can homestead a whole
section or purchase improved land
on easy terms. This is a real op-
portunity for renters and farm
hands who mean business and can
act quickly. Tell me whether YOU
prefer to raise grain, sugar beets,
potatoes, alfalfa, fruits, live stock
or poultry, and I'll gladly give you
the benefit of my advice.
Sit down and write me today.
There's no time like the present,
to get started.

AT no place in France are the dali
ly communiqucs of the various ar
mics read with sharper interest and
more eXpcrtly than in the General
Staff School and the School of the

students OF all grades up to and IN
cluding colonies. Every battle is
plotted on large maps. The Staff
School, with its instruction in the
handling OF divisions, corps and ar
mics, is probably the most needed
OF the schools. Our staff leader, of
divisions, corps and armies cannot
yet measure up with British and
French contemporaries.
The class rooms OF the special
schools are much the same rs those

The town in which the school is
located is one of the dirtiest and

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
TO restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-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 applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

TER IN WHICH is HIGH
PRAISE OF RED CROSS.

Miss Claud Blackwell is in receipt
of very interesting letter from her
nephew, Mr.. Victor Blackwell, of An
niston, Ala, who is on the firing line
in France. The young man pays this
high tribute to tire various organiza-
lions doing relief work among the
soldiers: "It makes us feel good to
know that the folks back home are
standing squarely behind US, and are
trying to make life as easy as posi-
BILE for the soldiers over here. / am
sure if you could see the good work
of the Y. NJ. C. A., the Red Cross
and other organizations being done
for the boys in France you would
redouble your support of them. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
service they are giving. They stay
right on the front lines, and hand out
hot chocolate, cakes, tobacco, etc.,
to the men returning from the firing
line. There are women workers
right up in gun range of the Boche,
and it's smile and a word of cheer
any hour, day or night. They de-
serve every dollar that can be sent
them. l wish people who have good
homes, plenty of food and the luxu-
ries could know something of the life
of sacrifice at the front"
