LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandna's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

a The use ofsSage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She. used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or 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out-of-date.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 a bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampep a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at q time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

THE MOUNTAIN COMES TO MAX

Max couldn't come to the East
Side-so the East Side came to Max.
1t came in the shape of a copy of a
Yiddish newspaper that made it's
way to the very front trench. Max
read it through the glass of gas
mask, amid the thunder Of shells;
he read it through three times,
dwelling on every little advertise
ment and paragraph that was re-
miniscent of home. Then Max wrote
letter and asked the Jewish Wei
fare Board to send Yiddish papers
to the boys up front. "It is such a
great pleasure to receive them," he
wrote, "that we cannot hope to be
able to thank you till we all come
home"

out the State. The amount in the
bank at present is $166, which will
support the scholarship for one year
with balance of SIT. If this schol-
arship is continued by the Club mem
bers, the same rules apply to it that
apply to the scholarship above. The
women and girls who attended the
began this scholarship fund and said
that they felt sure that the Home
Demonstration members thruout the
State would like to keep it up from
year to year.
Both Of these scholarships had to
be given to girls who had been mem
bers of the Canning and Poultry
Clubs. They must also be entitled
to free tuition, according to the rules
of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY. TROUBLE
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before 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 and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
30 it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effervescent
ithia-water drink.

mum of II cents per hundred pounds
higher on first-class shipments, and
IL cents on second class, in so called
first zones, or short hauls, generally
less than 100 miles. For longer
hauls, first and second class rates
would be advanced IL and 8 cents a
hundred pounds, respectively, as
maxima. In addition 10 cents per
hundred pounds, regardless of dis
tance, would be added to commodity
rates.
The express company has estimat-
ed that of the 23,679,OOO which the
proposed rates should produce, ST.
$4,000, or more than two-thirds,
would come from transportation in
the first zone.
The entire $11,7sO,OO0 which the
express company would receive from
the increased revenue is to 60 to
pay higher wages to employees who
did not share in the previous wage
advances.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
Scholarships AWARDED

The ladies who attended the Win
throp short course in June, and 9th
er members of the Home Demonstra-
ton Clubs who were instrumental in
raising money for two scholarships
for Canning and Poultry Club men,
bers, will be interested in learning
to whom these scholarships were
awarded.
Miss Catherine Jenkins, Edisto
Island, Charleston County, was a.
warded the "Parrott-Johns Chain
Scholarship; and Miss Ella N.
Boulware, Richburg, Chester Coun-
ty, was awarded the Dora Dee Walk
er All Scholarship. Miss Jenkins
is member of the Sophmore Class,
and Miss Boulware is a member of
the Junior Class. These girls are
eligible for the scholarships in ac-
cordance with the rules outlined by
the Delegates and these awards
were made after carfully considering
every eligible student, including
those already in college and those
coming as Freshmen. The girls ap-
preciate the scholarships very much,
and the fact that both of them were
going to have Dining Room Scholar
ships this year in order to pay their
expenses shows that they are worthy
of the Home Demonstration Scholar
ships.
Each scholarship is worth $149,
which is the cost of a year at Win
throp, not including uniform, and
with free tuition. The johnson
Parrot Chain Scholarship" was rails
ed by the women and girls attending
the Winthrop short course. The a.
mount raised was $156, which is on
deposit at the National Union Bank
of Rock Hill. This will support the
scholarship for this year and leave
a balance of 81. The delegates ex-
pressed the hope that the women and
girls who come to the Short Course
each year will raise the necessary
amount to keep up the scholarship
from year to year. If this fund is
kept up each year, the delegates de-
cided that the scholarship should be
given to one girl for two years and
so on.

arship was raised by the Home

LABOR SHORTAGE
HURTS OIL MILLS

Horace L. Tilghman, director of
the federal employment bureau in
Columbia, Tuesday addressed letters
to all chairmen Of community labor
boards, in which he suggested that
mass meetings of business men and
employers be called to discuss labor
relief measures, where field men are
unable to help the situation. Relief
to the oil mills is the first consider
alton, Mr.. Tilghman emphasizes, and
it is suggested that women be used
wherever practicable. In the letter
to the community board chairmen,
Mr.. Tilghman says:
eff your board, with the aid Of
the field man, can not relieve the
situation, would suggest that you
call a meeting of the leading busi-
ness men and employers of your
community and see if some relief
cannot be provided. The different
employers should give up one or
more men to this service, according
to the number of men employed by
them."
The cottonseed crushing business
of the State is in a deplorable con-
dition, according to reports from ev-
cry section. Indicative of the gener-
al situation is the letter from the
Marion Cotton Oil Company, ex-
cerpts from which follow:
eve have to date not averaged
crushing to one-half our capacity
and have not been able to work UP
the first green seed purchased, which
are consequently heating and being
damaged. We are unable to buy
more seed until we get the bad ones
worked up, and the large STOCK Whlcn
the surrounding ginneries have in
storage will heat and damage be-
cause the oil mills can not handle
them in reasonable time. The prod
ucts made from these damaged seed
are considerably below prime in
quality, especially in oil, which
shows high loss in refining and other
wise off,"
1t is suggested by the Marion mill
authorities that the question of fur
negro registrants now in
camp be asked of the war authori:-
ties until relief is brought.-The

DRINK HOT WATER
MF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is abb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material, which If not
eliminated; form toxins and poisons
Which are then sucked into The blood
through. the very ducts which are IN
S.tt;:ded ~ suck in only noIElslmeHt
to sustain tie BODY BODY .
If you want to see the giiV ct
healthy bloom in your checks, 10 ST"
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with J.
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it. which is harmless means OF wash
ings the waste material and toXlns
from the stomach, liver, kidneys anu
bowels, thus cleansing, sWeeteninS and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the Stom-
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
q coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more I'M
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

JEW EXPRESS RATE WILL BE
ENFORCED BY COMPANY SOON

Washington, Oct. 26.-New ex-
press rates involving average in
creases of about 10 per cent. applied
mainly on short hauls, will be initi-
ated shortly by the American Rail-
way Express company with the ap-
proval of Director General McAdoo,
to raise s24,OO0,OOO added revenue,
half of which will go to the express
company to meet contemplated wage
advances for transporting express
matter.
The interstate commerce commits
s%ion today approved the methods of
applying higher rates, proposed by
the express company, but suggested
some plan should be worked out be-
tween the company and the railroad
administration to give all the added
revenue to the company, instead Of
dividing it with the railroads ac-
cording to terms of the existing con-
tract.
Director General McAdoo tonight
announced, however, that the sug-
gestion would not be followed on
the ground that the railroads are en-
titled TO q proportionate share of
any new revenue on account Of the
higher cost of hauling express. The
railroads now receive so IA per cent
Of every dollar received by the ex-
press company for transportation.
Consequently, the express COM
pany will not proceed Immediately
to raise charges, but these rates will
be subject to review by the inter-
state commerce commission on COM
plant of shippers.
The new rates would be maxi,
