COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using 1t to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when youth
full appearance is Of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at hons.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents a bottle. It is very
popular because nobody can discover
1t has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or q soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
Of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. 1t
is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.-Adv.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of
water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys Is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from 1t 500 grains Of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma'
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take tablespoonful in q glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 clear
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids In urine so Il
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot In
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keel
their kidneys clean and active. Tr,
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder wha
became OF your kidney trouble ant

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment 1t Is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even ir-
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get It at
any wholesale drug house for you.--

Cheerful Open Crate Is
Most Inefficient Device
Used in Heating a House.

The winter days call attention to the
proper use of the CRATE fire by those
who will try to help the country save
coal. When the need Of using fuel
economically is as strong as 1t is now,
writes Van Fl. Manning, director of the
bureau Of mines, department of the in
terror, we can say, twisting our words
a bit, that the proper way to use the
CRATE is to use 1t not at all. If we look
at the open crate as merely heating
device, and know how small a proper
tion Of the total heat in the fuel enters
the room to be warmed, we must re-
gard the open CRATE as probably the
most inefficient Of all the inefficient de-
vices used In heating a house. The
cheer and companionship Of an open
CRATE fire must not be charged against
the heating bill, but to some other ac
count.
Efficiency is always ratio or frac-
ton, and is what you get out compared
with what you put in. Into the CRATE
one puts fuel that has the ability to
produce large amount of heat, but
the useful heat obtained from this fuel
is relatively small. Most of the heat
In the fuel goes racing up the chimney,
in company with large amount Of air
from the room. this air being replaced
by cold air drawn in through cracks
and crannies In the windward side of
the house. AS device for drawing in
cold air CRATE is excellent, but 1t fur
nishes much more ventilation than is
needed. Mush less fuel, properly
burned In a stove, would warm the
house better.

BACK YARD
POULTRY KEEPING

If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually
there will be a place In the yard
where the hens can dust themselves In
the dry dirt. If such place is not
available, box large enough (about
two feet sQuare) for the hens to get
into 1t should be provided In the house
and quantity Of dust such as ordi-
nary road dust or fine dirt placed in
1t to allow the hens place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the
hens in keeping lice in check and
therefore adds to their comfort. Usu-
ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove par
ticularly harmful. However, 1t is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as possi-
BILE from this pest, and If they are
not able to keep them In check by
busting themselves. other measures
can be undertaken.

year. To have the best heating value
as well as to reduce the cost Of haul
ing, wood should be thoroughly sea
soned, which means air-drying it fron
six to eight months. When piled sc
as to get a good circulation Of air
however, 80 per cent Of the moisture
may be removed In three months
Wood cut in October and November
therefore, may be burned the latter
part Of the winter.
Formerly 1t was common practice to
have wood cut by contract for from
81 to $1.50 per cord. With the present
high price of labor, however, the cost
may exceed SO cord. The great diff
ficulty in securing farm labor is dur
ing the harvesting psriod. If farmers
can secure sufficient labor to harvest
their crops, they should be able to
keep enough men to cut and haul wood
later in the season. In fact, the profit
able employment Of one or two extra
men on the farm during the winter
may help to solve labor difficulties dur
ing the rush season.
The prices which cordwood will
likely bring this year offer an oppor-
tunity for the farmer to improve his
woodland. Improving the woodland
means taking out the poorer trees. In
the past this has seldom been prac-
ticable, for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With wood bringing only
from $4 to S5 cord, there is very
little opportunity to secure profit of
even 81 cord. But with the prices
indicated for the coming winter, thin
nings become practicable over wide
range Of country In the vicinity of good
markets.

Despite Fact That Much Scientific In

Cure Found.

Blackhead Is one of the commonest
and at the same time one Of the most
serious diseases Of turkeys, 1t is hard
to control and possibly is more the
cause of the lesser number of turkeys
than any other one thing. Much sclen-
tlhc investigation has been conducted
along this line but so far no real cure
has been secured.

SWINE, SHEEP AND POULTRY
Most Effective Means of Increasing

The best possible means of relieving

the hog and poultry offer the most
effective means Of increasing the meat
output at any time In the near future.
Many farms could also carry a small
