cipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients for so cents large bottle,
all ready for use. It Is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at

disappeared, and after another appli

cessltates the employment Of some
other method Of selection. In the
breeding Of high producing animals
through several generations 1t has
been observed that there are certain
characteristics Of the conformation
which are correlated with large pro-
duction. These characteristics are
namely: (1) Extreme angular form,
carrying no surplus flesh, but in good
physical condition. (2) Prominent de-
velopment of the udder and veins. (3)
The symmetrical development of the
barrel with large capacity. After one
becomes familiar with these external
characteristics 1t is possible to select
cows producing 300 pounds of fat per
year from those producing $50 pounds.
The difficulty comes in picking the ami
NAL that will produce 500 pounds Of
fat per year compared to the one pro-
ducing 400 pounds.
The selection of animals by this
method is rather uncertain. Until rec
ords are kept Of more animals or some
other means devised for selection, the
selection by type should be used and
it is up to everyone interested In
dairy cattle to become familiar with 1t.

|SALTS IS FINE FOR
F KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

NO man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou.
Bile, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine SO II
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer.

regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.-Adv.

oratory standpoint, but IL you made O
test of the same values by feeding
these foods to human beings you would
find the values varied greatly because
OF the variations Of the human or or.
ganic machinery which handled them,
Starch, for instance, in the cases of
some individuals, passes through the
digestive system without the body as
similating 1t and obtaining the addition
Of its heat units. In the cases of other
individuals, the same thing would hap
pen with beefsteak.
For this reason we must remember,
when advising foodstuff for a commu-
nifty, that what is one mans meat is
another mans poison. Thus 1t be-
hooves those who have the power to
regulate foodstuffs for a community to
be liberal enough in drawing up their
lists to meet the demands of the differ
ent capabilities Of the digestive system
Of the different individuals. In other
words, one capable of making a ration
al selection must have thorough
knowledge of the physiology of food
stulfs.
The people Of the state of Pennsyl-
vania eat too much potato. The large
proportion of starch in the composition
of this vegetable produces a catarrhal
condition of the digestive tract, which
interferes with digestion and leaves the
patient insufliciently nourished, event
ually over long series of years pro-
duclng starvation.
Meat, as n rule, Is also overeaten by
Pennsylvanlans. Just now, however,
during the tension Of the war, we need
more meat than usual.
1t should also be kept In mind that
meat will be more easily produced DUR
ing the war than will vegetables, for
our trouble will be the want of male
help to carry out the continuous de-
mands Occasloned by the cultivation Of
vegetables during all stages from
planting to gathering, whereas cattle
can in great measure take care of
themselves, and what human help Is
required need not be of the highest de-
velopment, either physical or mental.

LEGUME HAYS ARE VALUABLE
Utilization of Alfalfa or Glover Partly
Solves Dairyman's Prob
lem of Feed.

By q. e. WEAVER, University Farm,
st. Paul, Minn.)
One hundred and seventy-five pounds
Of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth
as much as 100 pounds Of the ordinary
grain feeds. With the present prices
for feeds ranging from $25 ton for
bran to $S5 per ton for corn, the aver
age cost for 100 pounds of grain is
about $2.75. The cost of its food
equivalent in the form Of IT'S pounds
of legume hay is $2.15. This much hay
will produce 200 pounds of milk and
effect saving in feed cost Of go cents,
which Is at the rate of 30 cents for
each hundred pounds.
The utilization Of such hay partly
solves the dairyman's problem in these
days of high feed cost and milk In
vestigations.

200 per cent profit on her first voyag,
to China, In 1848.
The Oriental, an American clipper
built in New York in 1849, to compel,
with the English tea ships, earned
$4,000 In freight money on her frs
cargo of tea from Hong-Kong to Lon
don. Her cost was $4,000.
In the gold rush to California, II
1849 and 1850, many ships earned more
than their value in single voyage
Demand for space regulated the charge
for carrying freight, as 1t does now
and the top price reached was $50 q
ton.
At this rate the ship Samuel Rus.
sell earned $4,000 in freight money
on one voyage-more than her cost.
Some of the charters made In the
earlier period Of the war for Ameri-
can vessels were on such q liberal
basis that the freight money for a
single voyage to Archangel, for exam
pie, paid for the ship making the voy-
age, a condition to be looked for, say
the experts, In times Of abnormal de-
mand for cargo space.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out without
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet OF every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat ont
the corns or callouses but shriyels
them without even irritating the sur.
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying IL or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order 1t for
