GRANDMAUSEDSAGE TEATOE)AnKE:NHAIR
SHE MADE UP 4 MIXTURE, or SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR TO BRING E&CK COLOR, GLOSS
 AND YCuTHFELNESS

Common garden sage breHed into heavy tea with sulphur added; will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a reve- lation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome, An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in gradients.
 While wispy, gray. faded hair. is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation is delightful toilet requisite and, is not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis case.

Onions can be produced on almost any good garden soil, and constitute one of the standard crops found in almost every garden. The usual plan in the home garden is to plant sets in rows far enough apart to suit the method of cultivation to be followed. The sets need not be more than or 8 inches apart in the rows.
 Onion sets may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked and before frosts are over. Some kinds may be planted in the autumn. The potato or multiplier onion can be planted from sets in the autumn and will produce excellent early green onions.
 Onions may be grown from seed either by starting the seed in the hotbed and transplanting to the open ground or by drilling in rows directly in the garden. With good soil and | proper care it is possible to produce goodsized bulbs from seed in a single l season Onions require frequent shallow i cultivation, and it may be necessary to resort to hand work in order to keep the crop free from weeds. 1 If it is desired to use the onions as green or bunch onions they may be i pulled at any time after they are 1 large enough otherwise they should be allowed to grow until they reach ma
 turity If the onions start to throw
 up seed stalks these should be re-
 moved or the seed will be formed at ] the expense of the bulbs.-U. S. De- partment of Agriculture.

TELLS DYSPEPT|CS
 WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Gas On Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical author tiles are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. - Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretions or they can eat IS they please in reason and make it practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Bisurated Magnesla at their meals.
 There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach >anti-acid than Bisurated Magnesia, and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach. and is not a digestent. But a teaSpoonTul of the powder or a couple of five grain tab- lets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent it's further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfuHy without need of pepsin pills or artificial digestents.
 Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as liquid milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not laxative. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on what to eat"

Over, .000 900 war gardens was the, record of 1917 in.4the United States. The value of the produce grown in these gardens is variously estimated at from $500, 100000 to $550 00o,0 900.
 According to the U. $. Department of Agriculture, a total of about S60 : coo 00O quarts of produce valued at from s170,00O,0o0 to $180,0O0s000 were canned in the homes of America by the Cold Pack method alone. Many millions of bushels of vegetables we're dried or stored for winter use.
 As splendid as was that record, it should be exceeded this year. At least 5000. 900 900 war gardens should be planted and billion or more jars of produce canned.
 The war garden the canned vege- tables, the root cellars, have helped millions of mailies over the winter They have done much. will continue to do much toward winning the war As. great as was the need of home and vacant lot gardens last year, the need this year will be greater.
