Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Says
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 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any

this preparation now, because 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 a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plcation 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 requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or preventton Of

GOATS CLEAN UP

Hopkinsyille, K.-Farmers of this
county have found new and profita-

that goats will eradicate sassafras
Pushes by eating them tolsuch an ex-
tent that the bushes are killed.
Furthermore a field well grown
thick in sassafras bushes will furnish
plenty OF forage for a herd of goats
during an entire winter Then when
sprjng comes and il Is time TO cult
yate that ground, it will be found en-
tirely free of sassafras, fortified and
.eady for immediate use.
The goats will Craze as well on the
tender sassafras shoots as on grass.
They also eat buds and leaves OF the
larger bushes and even gnaw the
bark off the body of young trees. The
constant eating of the buds in the top
of the bushes soon causes the plant to
die, even the roots dying. The Old
method of cutting out the bushes with
an ak or grubbing hoe, was laborous
and productive of even more sprouts
the second season.
People who know anything about
the baneful effects of sassafras bushes
on the .arm, and how nearly impossi'
bic it is to combat them, will readily
appreciate the value of the goats ser
