An Old Recipe
to Darker Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

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
it at home, which is mussy and trou-
blesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darken your hair as, it does it
so naturally and evenly. You damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy, and you look years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. 1t is not intended for the

GET INSECTS EARLY
A Agricultural Expert Tells How to Ex-
terminate the Potato Bug.

T H. Parks. extension specialist in
diseases and insects that destroy gar
den and field crops, of the State Agri-
cultural college, spoke in Topeka
Monday night before the weekly meet
ing of the garden club, at the high
school auditorium. He illustrated his
lecture by garden slides showing some
Of the insects. He directed potato
raisers to examine the young plants
on the under side of the leaves for
clusters of orange colored beetle eggs.
The leaves that have these eggs on
them should be pinched off and de-
stroyed. Care must be used to de-
stroy every egg cluster.
: Parks also advised spraying cab
bage for insects. The small amount
of the poison used in the spray could
not possibly harm anyone eating the
cabbage, he said. In preparing the
cabbage spray, take three teaspoon
fuls of arsenate of lead to a gallon of
water, adding a cubic inch piece of
laundry soap. Hot water should not
be used to spray plants. A soap nico-
tine spray will kill lettuce lice. and
Parks advised its use.
He declared that the hardest insect
to get rid of was the cucumber beetle.
He advised the use of little screen
frames for each plant until the plants
grow too large for the beetles to gnaw
the stems thru.

CITY HAS new PLAN
Will Cooperate With County in Es-
tabIishing a Detention Home.

An important step to be taken soon
by the city administration is the es-
adjustment of local detention home
for women. Mayor Jay E. House has
announced his intention to provide
such a home. at least for temporary
demands. The project, he finds, can
be financed, and the county commits
sioners have promised their co-opera-
ton. The place will be used for the
internment both of city and county
offenders of the class for which it is
intended At present, immoral women
who have been taken up by the police.
and who could not be taken care of
locally, have been sent to Lansing.
The plans for the home have not been
made, but Mayor House will work
them out in a short time.
The establishment of a local deten-
ton home has been considered in To-
peka at various times, and Mayor
House had thought of a plan for rent
ing a building for the temporary quar-
ters of such an establishment. How
ever, the cooperation of the county
will probably make it feasible to form
plans for a permanent home.
