GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old FavOrite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which Is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does 1t so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toll
ct requisite. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-Adv.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While 1t is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu.
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus,
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent hthia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

Movies Showing Methods
of Increasing COuntry's Pork
SuppIy-BoyS' Pig Clubs

As means of helping to increase
the pork supply, the United States de-
partment Of agriculture has released
to the motion picture theaters, through
one of the large motion picture COM
panies, a film showing the work of the
boys pig clubs which the department
Is organizing in all parts of the country
in cooperation with the extension
divisions of the state agricultural col
leges. The film shows methods of in
structing farm boys, and in some in
stances girls, who have joined the agri-
cultural clubs, how to raise better pigs
and the methods used by club members
in carrying out instructions The first
lesson taught in the film story is that 1t
costs no more to feed and care for the
pig of carefully selected stock than the
scrub, while the results in meat pro-
duced is greatly in favor of the we'll
bred animal. The picture shows fur
ther how to feed and care for the pigs,
how to protect them from disease, and
how to shelter them from the inclem-
ency of winter and the heat Of sum-
mer. The results of wise selection and
intelligent care are shown In the we'll
groomed, fat, healthy porkers wearing
the prize ribbons they have won.
The first pig club was organized In
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximately
$4,000 members are enrolled In the
pig clubs throughout the country.

SURFAClNG THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily Used In Building
. Roads Are Too Expensive-FeW
Good Suggestions.

Many of the materials ordinarily
employed in road construction will be
found too expensive for use in improv-
ing the farm roads. One or more OF
the following will, however, usually
be found available and within the
means Of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: gravel, mixtures of
sand and clay, cinders brickbats from
old buildings, brickyard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain a firm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
er conditions.

FEEDING FOWLS FOR
MEAT AND EGGS

In feeding the flock an effort should
be made to do so as cheaply as pos
sible, consistent with the production OF
eggs. TO accomplish this all table
scraps, kitchen waste, etc, should be
utilized. Scraps Of meat or leftover
vegetables which cannot be utilized In
any other way make excellent feed.
There are also many other waste prod
ucts, such as beet tops, turnip tops,
carrot tops, potato parlngs, onion tops,
the outside leaves Of cabbages, waste
lettuce leaves, bread and cake crumbs,
ETC., all of which are relished by the
hens and can be used to the best adj
vantage. In saving the scraps and
waste It is well to separate the por-
tions adapted for feeding to the flock
and place these in receptacle or pail
of their own. Decomposed waste ma
terial or moldy bread or cake should
never be saved to feed to the hens, as
It Is harmful to them and may cause
serious bowel trouble. Sloppy mate
rial, such rs dishwater, should not be
thrown into their pail. It is also use
less TO put in such things as banana
peels or the skins Of oranges, MS these
have little or no food value. Any sour
milk which Is not utilized in the house
should be given to the chickens. This
should be fed separately, however,
either by allowing the hens to drink
1t or by allowing ii TO clabber on the
back of the stove and then feeding 1t
in that condition. When the family's
table waste Is not sufficient for feed
ing the flock IT Is usually possible TO
get some Of the neighbors who keep
no hens to- save material suitable for
feeding. Many people are glad to do
this If a small pail in which to place
the waste Is furnished.
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat
grinder. After the material has been
put through the grinder 1t is usually
n rather moist mass, and 1t Is well to
mix with 1t some cornmeal, bran or
other ground grain until the whole
mass assumes crumbly condition.

Ignite Goals May Provide
Many Important Supplies


Secretary Lane has recommended to
congress an appropriation of 100000
to investigate the commercial and eco
nomlc practlcability of utilizing the
Ignite Goals of the United States for
producing fuel oil, gasoline substitutes.
ammonia, coal tar and gas for power.
There are immense quantities of Ignite
deposits in the public lands of the
United States lying near the surface of
the earth and eheaply mined, but the
coal is of such character that 1t does
not stand transportation In its natural
state and Is of small value for fuel ex.
cept in the immediate vicinity Of the
mines. If a satisfactory method of ex-
tracing fuel oil and other substances
is secured 1t would be of enormous
value and add Immensely to the re-
sources OF the United States. 1t is pro-
posed to have the Investigations con-
Quoted through the bureau Of mines.

Timber Sales on National
Forests Doubled in Year

Sales OF national forest timber In
the fiscal year 1917 were more than
double those of 1916, according to the
annual report of the government for
ester. The total amount sold exceed
ed 2000,000,000 feet and Is valued at
more than $3,T15,000. During the
same period about T27,0o0000 feet
were cut and removed, for which the
purchasers paid Sl,507,303 into the
federal treasury. The largest sales
were made In Oregon, where about
6SS,000,0 900 board feet We're disposed
Of.
In addition to the timber sold, ap-
proximately 113,000000 board feet
valued at almost $l50,000, was cut un-
der free use permit by more than Al
900 settlers living near the national
forests and depending ON the forests
for tlrewood and building material to
improve their homesteads.
The timber business on the eastern

compared with the western forests,
showed decided increase. More than
three times us much timber was sold

Dragging Road in Fall.

being puddled by the horses hoofs
and wagon wheels, can be smoothed
out and properly shaped before dry
ing then the ideal is attained, and
this smoothing and shaping is the
work accomplished by the road drag.
The water standing in pools and pud-
dies is spread out over larger sur
face, so that it dries quickly, the min
ute holes or pores in the clay are
smeared over and closed, making the
surface more nearly waterproof; the
ruts and holes are gradually filled
up and made smooth, and just enough
earth is moved toward the middle to
give the proper crown. The result is
smooth, hard, well-shaped road
which will shed water and never be-
comes very muddy in wet weather
or very dusty in dry weather.
From the above discussion 1t can
readily be seen that dragging should
be done when the road is wet, or at
least when it Is moist. The exact
time to drag any given road will de-
pend upon the character of the road
material, and no exact rule can be
given which will fit all cases. If traf-
fic can be kept off from the dragged
portion for awhile then the road may
be dragged when it is very wet and
sloppy, but if wagons are going to
follow right behind the drag, making
deep ruts as soon as the old ones
are filled up, the dragging must be
deferred until the road has partly
dried out. Good judgment and expert
ence on the part of the operator Will
soon tell him what is the best time to
drag any given road. Roads which
dry out quickly must be dragged I'M
mediately after a rain, while others
may be allowed to dry for several
days before being dragged. Dragging
a dry road simply makes 1t dusty.
Dragging should be done, if possible,
after every rain, and as soon there-
after as conditions are right.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1918-04-05

The usual method is to feed the table
scraps at noon or at night, or at both
times, as may be desired, in trough
or on board. All should be fed that
the hens will eat up clean, and If any
of the material is left after one-half or
three-quarters of an hour 1t should be
removed. If allowed to lie it may spoil
and would be very bad for the hens.
With the table scraps it Is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may be
given best as a light feed in the morn
ing. -Four or five handfuls of grain
(about one-half plnt) scattered in the
litter will be sufficient for a flock of
twenty or twenty-five hens. BY hand
ful is meant as much as can be grasped
in the hand, not what can be scooped
up in the open hand. By scattering it
in the litter the hens will be compelled
to scratch in order to find the grain
and in this way to take exercise, which
is decidedly beneficial to them. If the
house is too small to feed in, the grain
can be scattered on the ground outside.
A good grain mixture for this purpose
Is composed Of equal parts by weight
of wheat, cracked corn and oats. An
other suitable grain mixture Is com
posed of two parts by weight of
cracked corn and one part oats.
