forest products laboratory of the
Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has recently
been manufacturing experimentally
a number Of laminated wood articles
with the idea Of utilizing small lumb
er stock. Baseball bats are among
the articles which have been expert
mented on. In practically every in
stance the products made from this
material have given as good service as
those made in the regular way. Whe-
ther they would satisfy the critical
demands of professionals who inspect
their white ash clubs with jealous
care is matter as yet undertermin-
ed. The fact remains, however, that
the initial success in the experiments
cited seem to indicate that there is
large field heretofore undeveloped in
which laminated wood can be used
succe. fully. Attention is called to
the fact that, while some of the bats
have broken under severe usage, the
breaks were not in the glued joints,
indicating that the artificial joining
has been accomplished in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
Shoe lasts were also made of lami-
mated wod oand after undergoing the
severest usage in various factories are
still serviceable. Hat blocks of a
similarly built-up material were tried
out thoroughly and proved very salts

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss,
YouthfulneSS.

Common garden sage brewed into
q heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a rev
elation IL your hair is fading, streak
ed or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
sulphur recipe ct home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get q bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the add
tion of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attrac-
tiveness. BY darkening your hair
with, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does IL so naturally, so evenly. YoL
Just dampeu sponge or soft brush
with IL and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; Eysmorning all gray hairs have
and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
Iuxuriant.

He Will Be Missed.

Theodore Roosevelt will be missed from ma
Lincoln So sudden his death and quickly and
unostentatiously he buried that it is doubtful if
his countrymen fully realized what his passing
the time his remains lad>a in the little
cemetery on Long Island.
The people will miss him because he was one of
them and his whole life such to make con-
slant appeal to their sympathy and understanding.
He did things that nearly everybody in this land who
is normal and right-thinking would like to do and
in the way that each would like to do them His
career was extraordinarily full of human interest.
He will be missed in the fields of science art and
literature, In all of which he has left his impress
His passing will mean much in the halls of learning
in the pulpit and in the press No more copy will he
supply for the leading news columns
Most of all he will be missed in politics where in
out of office he never ceased to be a factor The
progressive wing of the Republican party has lost its
leader and it may lose its identity as result 1t
had counted with reasonable assurance upon making
him the nominee of the party for president in 1920
and having to fill his place is in danger
of being swallowed up once more by the old stand
pat wing The latter, a matter of fact already
considers party control firmly in its grasp
and is laying its plans accordingly
Something of the zest that heretofore has char
acterized it will be absent from the political
now that the colonel is gone. The Democrats will
miss him, too

c. A was expected to conduct the canteens as BUSH
enterprise and to take profit, which it did.
The fact that canteen prices later were cut down
there was profit did not help much The repu-
tation of being out for the money persisted
Another mistake, it is said. was made in placing
the spiritual and moral welfare ahead of the physical
wants of the doughboy. Soldiers often are acutely
conscious of the latter but seldom think much about
the former. They consider it great deal more i'm
portant that they have hot coffee, sandwiches, or
cigarets than spiritual advice and protection from

ton the organization has in its civil work should
not suffer from the mistakes it may have made in
work

elders to the contrary notwith-

from the Weekly Bulletin of Dis

medical officers of the A. Z. +.

Doesn't it look as though the ar

off the antiquated catching cold"
delusion pretty thoroughly.
Here is a list of the diseases Of
