The skill in operation comes in firing

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Any Shade
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
old.time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother time
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Wheneve,
her hair took on that duh, faded OF
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out OF date. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound you get this ia
nous old preparation, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restorI natural col
or and beauty to the hair.
4 well-known downtown druggist
says il darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one strand at
time. BY morning the gray hair disap-
pears. and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.-Ady.

is pleasing to see an educated demoe-

principle of self determination of govern

to let the Firms raise the flag of indie

quicker than Germany and Sweden, who
have other reasons than appreciation of
popular freedom. The German official

MOLESKINS VALUABLE.
Mole-Trapping Industry Should Be Devel'
oped in This Country.

American moleskins, particularly those
from the Pacific Northwest, are superior
to the moleskins of Europe, which large
y make up the world supply for indus
trial uses, according to biologists of the
United States department of agriculture.
II should be profitable, therefore, the
biologists declare to trap these animals
for their pelts and so establish new
American fu2 industry. This is true par
ticularly in the Northwest, where the
animals are large and plentiful, and
where it is often desirable to keep their
numbers down to prevent injury to fields
and lawns. Such new industry should
be especially desirable for farmers boys
as side issue, it is pointed out.
The habits of American moles are de-
scribed and methods of capturing them
and treating and marketing their skins
are outlined in farmers bulletin, Trap
ping Moles and Utilizing Their Skins"
recently issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The publication
also offers suggestions for the tanning
of the pelts, SO that they may be made
locally into womens neckpieces, muffs
and coats. Copies of the bulletin may be
had free so long as the supply lasts, on
application to the United States depart
ment of agriculture, Washington, d. c.

things. At such times you are the easiest
prey for colds, grip, or the disease germs
of malaria. typhoid, the deadly phthisis,
or the many ills which carry off so many

My advice is, give up alcohol, tea and

water. Begin in the morning with pint
of hot water with half lemon squeezed
PIN it, if possible, and drink it half hour
or less before breakfast

be had at every drug store, for it has
been sold for nearly 80 years as Dr.

If you are occasionally troubled with
rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in the

is due to uric acid stored in the system.
