According to Judge Ben NJ. Terrell
of the Sixty-seventh District court, the
number of divorces being granted in
the district courts in Fort Worth has
diminished fully so per cent since pro-
hibitfon has been in effect. He adds ::
"At least two-thirds of the divorce
cases are attributable either directly
or indirectly to whisky. The decrease
shown would be greater were It not

SAGE TEA TURNS

Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of
dark, glossy hair can be had by
brewing mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Your hair is your
charm 1t makes or mars the
face. When it fades, turns gray
or streaked, Just an application
or two of Sage and Sulphur en-
hances it's appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't bother to prepare the
mixture; you can get this fam
Gus old recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients at a
small cost al ready for use. 1t
is called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound. This can al
ways be depended upon TO bring
back the natural color and lustre
of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now be-
cause it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it

it as an easy excuse for neglect
of our duty.
We know, too, that we can
not expect our children who are
attending school to be properly
educated when they are study
ing under cheap, incompetent
and inefficient teachers, and that
in order to get better teachers
we must pay better salaries.
The great responsibility is
squarely up to us, and there it
will remain until we meet it
with liberality and common
sense.
Mississippi will never do
justice to its children until a
compulsory education statute is
enacted, and salaries are offer

attract teachers who haavesense
enough to teach.-Jackson Daily

GOOD SEED POTATOES FOR
> MORE POTATOES

The average production per acre of
potatoes in the United States is very
much lower than in Canada, Great
Britain, and European countries out
side of Italy.
One of the reasons for the lower
production in the United States is that
less attention has been given to the
character of the seed. Good seed is
one of the determining factors in the
production of maximum crops of po-
tatoes.
The use of highgrade seed would in
crease the returns from the potato
crop of the country by many millions
of dollars.
The production of high-grade seed
should be regarded as special bust
ness.
Good strains of seed may be OBJ
tanned by the tuber-unit, hill, or mass
selection methods through the pro-
cess of roguing out the diseased and
weak hills.
When tubers from diseased or weak
plants are planted, similar harvest
will be reaped.
Only seed from productive plants
should be used
Careful attention should be given to
| securing seed that is free from vari-
etal mixture and that is true to type.
Good seed can not be produced un-
less the growing plants are given good
cultural attention.
AS rule the quantity of seed used
is not sufficient to produce a maxi
! mum crop.
| From Is to Is bushels of seed should
be used per acre instead of to IL
as at the present time.
| Ali seed stock should be disinfected
| before planting.
| Good storage conditions are essen
tial to insure sound, firm seed al
| planting time
| These points are discussed in detail

| Agriculture's Farmers Bulletin 533

| Produce Them which was recently

HOT LUNCHES IN OUR
COUNTY SCHOOLS

For several months, whenever the
opportunity presented itself, Miss
Mary Brady, j. E. Giessel, County
Supt.. and F. G. Swoboda, County Field
Agent, have advocated hot noon lunch
es in our county schools, until they
have succeeded in getting people to
thinking real hard on the subject and
with the result that it is likely to bear
fruit. There is NO getting around the
fact, that oftentimes children in get
ting ready to go to school, which may
be a mile or more from their homes,
have all kinds of little troubles of
their own and may at times get away
with a scant breakfast; then a cold
luncheon at noon, they are certainly
anything but well nourished. Even if
they had meal in the morning, which
was perfectly satisfactory, with cold
meal at noon, they are not as we'll
prepared to throw off ills as the child
who has warm, nourishing meals. The
cost is trifling and the benefit the
| children will derive from a warm
noon-day luncheon cannot be estimat-
ed By all means let the hot, MONDAY
| luncheon go into effect. Just remem-
] Der a weak body can not withstand
the insidious attacks of disease, sucf
of stronger physique.
