two farms that were equally fer
tile to begin with, asked the old
man how it came about.
Il don't knoW-well, reckon
l do, too" he began. Jimmie
was a good man, but he was
mighty careless, When he fin
ished laying by his corn, he left
his pillow in the furrow and hung
his gear on the beam or leaned
them against a stump. When
he started blowing the next
spring, he had to dig his collar
and names out of the dirt, all
muddy and rotten, and his pillow
was rusty and wouldn't scour."
Now, of course, this old ger
tleman was wrong in thinking
that lack of shelter for his i'm
plements was the cause of his
brothers failure, but he had
pointed out an effect that was
indicative of the case, just as
his own wellkept implement
sheds were indicative of the
cause of his own success. The
brothers rust-pitted mold board
merely went to show that he
was a poor farmer all around.
The United States Department
of Agriculture corroborates the
testimony of the old gentleman
IN its general application. Coco
farmers, says the department,
take care of their implements,
They may not always find il
convenient or profitable to builG
expensive sheds for their tools,
but they will manage to protect
them from moisture in one way
or another.

Protecting Farm Machinery is a

Probably you do not believe

You wouldn't believe, perhaps,
that leaving your plows and har-

your grandson. 1t may not, but

Two young men, brothers in.
law, took their wives, COWS,
horses, and plows into a new
land in 1910. AS pioneer far
mers, they began with equal op-
portunities. SiXty-seven years
later the writer had occasion to
go over the two farms. The
grandsons of the pioneers were
operating them. One farm was
a good one and the men who op-
Grated it, while not rich were
comfortable and contented. The
other was a rundown, poor farm
and its owners were constantly
hard put to make ends meet.
The original owner OF the run.

great many years. but the man
who pioneered on the prosperous
farm was above SO years old,
physically active, mentally,
sharp as a briar. The writer,

TOLTTICAL and economic trou-
- les are not the only obsta-
cles that face the new repub-
lie of Czecho-Sloyakia. In
attempting to build up a democracy,
fashioned after that In the United
States, one of its most serious prob
lens is an alarming mortality rate,
especially among women and children.
Statistics of the American Red Cross
show that in Bohemia, Moravfa and
Silesia deaths in 1917 exceeded births
BY over 10000. Figures for 1918, not
yet completed, will show larger NOR
"ality.
This whole condition" the Red
Cross commission reports, els due to
under-nourishment of mothers and
children. In its investigation the Amer
lean Red Cross found that many chill
dren have never tasted miIk-not
even mothers milk. as the women
were too weak to nurse their babies.
Seven year old children have the ply
steal proportion of five, and ten year
oIds have the growth of normal

The Red Cross has organized sys-
tenn of soup kitchens throughout the
country, through which 1t hopes to
save the lives Of thousands Of moth
ers and children. The rumor Of sign
with the American flag and tn Red
Cross over an old shack or a has,Aily
constructed hut is enough to mike
women of these foreign countries wttlk

There is one remedy that seldoin
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes skin

blackheads, in most cases give way

dependable. II costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-1ate. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1T darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.
