In the course of his speech the

The men who have fought the
war, he said, had been "men from

should end now and forever"

Grandma Never Let
Her Hair Get Gray
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When YOU darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture
though. at home is mussy and trou
blesome. At little cost you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients called
'Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. By morning ali
gray hair disappears. and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace. is a sign OF old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation Is a delightful tot
let requisite and not a medicine. II

ton or prevention OF disease.-Adr. a

LOOK AFTER FARM TOOLS.
Now Is the Time to Put Every Farm.
ing UtensiI in Working Order.

Farm machinery in recent years has
played q very important role in crop
production, and this year it's place in
farm operations is more important than
ever before. The proper amount and
kind of tools will enable the farmer to
work more land and obtain better re-
turns. In fact, the increased use of
farm machinery frequently makes 1t
possible to manage the farm with less
help One of the greatest causes Of
deterioration of farm tools and imple-
ments is their exposure to the weather
and the failure upon the part Of the
farmer or laborer to clean them proper
ly before they are put away for the
season when they are not in active use.
There is a wide varia ton in the length
of life of those farm implements treated
properly and those left to rust out in
the fields This difference is sufficient
to pay high interest On the initial cost
of good farm machinery The lack Of
proper storage and care during the
winter months is responsible for much
Of the depreciation. This season also
IS the best time in which to repair ma
chimes and put them in proper mechan-
ical condition.
The farmer has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by placing his order
as early as possible for new machines
and repair parts which will be needed
next season. If this fact is true in nor
NAL times, it's Importance is magnifled
many times now that shipments IRE
quently require longer time.
The farmer has been advised times
without number concerning the desira-
bility of overhauling farm tools and
implements during the slack season.
Whether such advice is necessary or
whether it is acted upon in normal
times is not a question to be consid-
cred now. The need for ample machin-
cry. running smoothly and without
breakdowns in 1918, is more important
20 the farmer than ever before. To
this end steps should be taken this
winter

Wind chafe, roughness, tan and red
