COMB SAGE TEA N
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
# Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully d~arkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on tkat dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie Of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition Of other Ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A weIl-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied
It's SC easy to use, too. You simply
dampen q comb or soft brush and
draw 1t through your hair, taking n
strand at q time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it Is restored to Its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful.-Adv.

Jap Men First.

The submissive attitude OF the
women OF Japan and their relation TO
mea as c~ontrasted with the women
OF the west Is described in the New
York Sun by Miss Catherine Dupont,
an American dancer who spent seven
years In Japan.
l have never known any other Women
so sweet and gentle as the Japanese are.
Blu to me they seem rather tragic be-
cause OF their attitude to the men OF
japan, which we Of the western world
would consider s~ubservient. When I first
entertained them at my home there and
had my maid serve the women, first they
blushed and laughed and gave me to
understand that no woman was ever
served before the men Of Japan. It was
simply the custom Of the country, but
one that an American wona was quick
to notice and resent.
AT a wedding party to which / was
invited and where there were but two
other women. including the bride. they
stood when the men left the dining room,
and later in the public sitting room they
also waited until all of the men were
seated before sitting down themselves.
Even the bride followed this example. To
them this form means nothing very sig
nifieant. They are accustomed to 1t, and
neither they nor the men Of the country
look upon II as a reflection upon the
women: but TO me II seemed humiliatIng.

@N the average farm little atten-

poultry and yet nothing else
pays so well for the amount OF
money invested and the amount OF
care required.
On the 100000 farms In the Unit
ed States there IL an average Of only
A head Of poultry to each farm. In
some states the average Is more than
100. The average hen lays but Ave

eight dozen. 1t 10 not uncommon for
q hen to lay II, IA. and even 20
dozen.
II there were an average OF 100
hens on each farm in America and
each hen laid eight dozen eggs a
year. these eggs at 30 cents a dozen
would be worth nor than $780,
100000. This would be over $50 for
every man, woman, and child living
In the rural districts Of the United
States.
The value Of the eggs alone, to

There is very little poultry left In
