 recipe and nobody can tell.
 Brush it through hair.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with %uIphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, Streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready to-use preparation i'm proved by the addition of other in gredients, large bottle. at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sin ful we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness.

The bin at the Davis theatre for the first half of the week is far below the usual high standard of vaudeville shovn at the local playhouse, with the exception of the feature act which is Inc one redc1ming quality of the bill. The feature act is HadH lmbirk troupe lf lrrobatic Arabs and is without eX- ccptiUu one of the best tuublnG and whrlwiud sensations ever billed in this city The six members of this troupe are as Timber and flexible as India rubber and the stunts they do are sensation.
 Biiou Russell, the minstrel girl, is a clever dancer. but as singer and comedian her act falls flat. The other act Is a comedy singing ad talking number.
 The feature picture is When Do We Eat? starring Enid EeDnett. The pie ture is a light comedy drama which is very good. A Triangle comedy com pletes the bill.

BARRED ROCKS AHEAD IN
 15TH WEEK OF CONTEST

In the 18th week of the laying con- test at Storrs a pen of Barred Ply mouth Rocks from Laurel Poultry farm, Laurel Que, won first place with a yield of 45 eggs. Homer ?. Deming's Rhode Island Reds from Winsted, l Conn, were in second place with a 1 production of 43 eggs.

Bradley, Victoria, B. C., and a pen of R. l. Reds from Laurel Hill farm, Bridgeton, R. l.
 For some reason the Ieghorn pens dron"ed in nrod''"'ion dr~ine the 18th week and by so doing brought the total figure for the 1.otJ birds down to 2046, which is a production of 292 per cent. Only one individual out of the total number competing was able to make a perfect score for the week. This bird was Buff Wyand0tte No. S36, belonging to Cook 6 Porter Easthampton, Mass. There were, however, 27 birds which laid six eggs each for the week. In going over the records for the month of January it has been found that each pen in the contest averaged to lay seven dozen eggs, which were sold wholesale for 75 cents dozen. This means an average gross income per pen of $5.25. The best pen. how ever laid 191 eggs during January and these at the same price sold for $1194 1 Each pen averaged to consume during | the month about D pounds of feed worth about $2.50:

THE SIX HOUR DAY

Everybodys talking about the six-hour day and the five
day week nowadays and wondering what folks are going to do
with the rest of their time during the week if the new order of
things goes into effect. "
twill be quite a problem to put in the time under the new
~regime-believe those who have tried loaGng and found it the
hardest work in the wOrldl
Thirty hours of work a week means than 1913 hours every
week must be put in some other way, sleeping, smoking, read
ing newspapers, going to movies, throwing dice for cigars in
the corner smokchouse, wondering what to do and getting
peeved at the world generally. Think of it, nearly five times
as much time must be put in somehow every week as Is de-
voted to work under this scheme. Looks pretty hard, doesnt
1t? You'd almost think men would rise up in wrath against
any such scheme as that, wouldn't you?
Thirty hours of work a week. School children put in
twenty-seven and q half hours a week at hard brain work in
the formative periods of their llfel Think of husky men work
ing only as much each week as a ten-year-old school boy who
however, after completing his hours at school puts in a lot of
overtime around the house doing chores for mOtherl
To speak of thirty hours of work" a week is, really, TO
put the proposition in an altogether false manner. What such
a scheme would really mean would be that there would be
thirty hours of play a week for all those people existing under
such a scheme of things ind that there would be 1873 hours
each week of real work trying to put in the time until the in
teresting, enjoyable hours Of so-called work" came around
