Recipe of Sage Tea and

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make il at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle Of this famous old recipe, Inn
proved by the addition of other in
gradients. at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

spends one day each month with each
member, tests and weighs the milk for
butterfat, weighs the feed, both concen-
trates and roughage, and advises the
farmer concerning the quantity and
kind of feed to be given each COW in
the herd. From the quantity of milk,
the butterfat test and the cost of feed,
he helps the farmer to determine which
COW should be rejected. He also aids
in the selection of calves, in improving
the sanitation of the barn, milk house
and dairy utensils, and In many other
ways assists in lifting the dairy bust
ness to'a higher level.
There are now 472 contrasting asso-
Citations in the United States, and last
year monthly records were kept for
261,S3f cows, or about 1 per cent of
all the dairy cows in this country.
The cows in the associations whose
records have been tabulated averaged
PAT pounds of butterfat, or about 90
per cent more than the average pro-
ductlon of all the dairy cows In the
United States. If all the dairy cows In
the country could be brought up to the
average of the cow-testing associations,
production would be increased so per

duction would be considerably reduced.

BETTER DAIRY COWS
Raising Of Best HeIfer Calves Will Pro.
vide Means Of Cutting Out Low
Producers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The war has greatly increased the
demand for dairy products, and it is i'm
portant that they be produced economi-
cally. In order that the quantity of
dairy products may be large and the
production economical, more and bet
ter cows are needed. The raising Of
all the best heifer calves will provide
cows enough to permit the culling out
of all low producers.
Every owner of dairy cows should es-
tablish a definite standard, and all cows
that do not measure up to the require
ments should be disposed of for beef.
Whether a dairy cow should be rejected
or retained should depend ordinarily
on production, as shown by the milk
scales and the Babcock test.
Farmers who are too busy to test
their W cows may now have this
work done for them at nominal cost by
joining a contrasting association. Such
an association ordinarily is an organi-
cation of about % dairy farmers who
comparatively employ a man to keep
records of their cows. The tester

PRICE OF SQUADS NOT

There is n kind of meat-and, Sc

tain, only one-that has not increased
greatly in price. That one, before the
war, was considered n luxury within

That meat Is squab-young pigeon.
At last squads appear about to come

This transformation is due, In large

action of the American SQUAD Breed.
ers' association. The influence Of thai
association extends to about 10000
SQUAD breeders, and is estimated to
affect, In one way or another, not less
than 10000 persons who raise pigeons
for meat.
Until within the past few months II
vas thought that SQUADS had to be fat
tened on wheat-and 1t took a lot Of
wheat to make a good SQUAD. But
when It became apparent that the
worlds available supply of wheat was
not sufficient to meet the worlds
pressing need for bread and that the
success Of the allied armies depended
largely on saving 1t, the association OF
SQUAD breeders began a systematic
effort to eliminate wheat as q pigeon
feed by substituting corn. kafir, sun
flower seeds and other concentrated
forms of vegetable protein.
The effort has been crowned with
success. One SQUAD breeder writes:
II have fed no wheat In the past six
months, using whole corn instead, and
have certainly had good results"
Another who had substituted Wild
grass seeds, a feed that formerly went
completely to waste. says: II have had
good results and do not intend to use
any wheat in the future"

SEEK SALOON REOpENlNG
New Rochelle Liquor Men Whose
Places Were Closed Would Have
Ban on Them Lifted

An order was granted last week by
Supreme Court Justice Tomkins, at
White Plains, New York, directing
the state excise commissioner to show
cause why an order issued by him
closing all hotels, saloons and bars in
the city of New Rochelle should not
be revoked. Following the raid by
United States Marshal Mccarthy on
six saloons in New Rochelle, where
he alleged liquor had been sold to SOL
diers from Fort Slocum, Mayor Grit
fing of New Rochelle appealed to Gov
ernor Whitman The Governor or
dered the excise commissioner to act
and since that order four weeks ago
New Rochelle has been dry Now
that the grand jury has found that no
vice existed in New Rochelle and that
the city is not as bad as pictured by
some officials, the saloonkeepers think
they should have the right to reopen
under certain restrictions. The mat
ter is under consideration by the
court.

Tell That Peerless License Champion
That St. Louis Saloons Are Being
Killed by Blind Pigs

Information was given out last week
by /. ]. Bauer, secretary of the Retail

ton of St. Louis, Mo-, to the effect
that more than 800 dram shops will
suspend business in St Louis before
March 81. He says that from Janu-
AIRY 81 to March 81 more than $50 sa-
looms will have disposed of their stock
and quit. He also predicts that 200
more will gradually dispose of their
liquors until, he says, New Years of
1919 will see St. Louis almost saloon
less. He estimates that at least 500
will quit business during the year
1918. War and lax law enforcement
against the lid club and other illicit
,>1iquor joints are the causes. for tho
closing of these saloons, according to
Mr.. Bauer. He says the licensed sa-
loon cannot compete against the un-
licensed joint.
