HAVE DARK HAIR
ANDLOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and attrac-
tive with a brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get a large bottle
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 well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.

Phosphoric Acid Best Fertilizer

Late seeded wheat should always

Old Fashioned Camp Meet
ing About To Pass

Old-fashioned camp meetings
are passing out of the life of the
people of Delaware and the closing
of several more for next year will
be announced. With automobiles
at almost every farmhouse, farm
ers take longer trips and do not go
to the old camps and tent all week
as in the past. One of the largest
camps in lower Delaware was very
poorly attended this year, and the
finances fell off so badly that the
directors are facing a loss, while
another large camp has announced
its suspension altogether. One
old camp was not even held be-
cause no one would take the board
ing tent, while at others the high
prices charged for meals cut down
the attendance at the tables and
many of the renters lost money.

Let The Boys Have -.
A Little Leeway

Make your home so pleasant for
your boys that they will hold it
'dearer than any other spot. Give
taem "the run of the house." so far
as possible, while insisting that
they shall be neat and orderly.
Don't be what boys call and hate
"fussy." Let them use the books
and the furniture. Have plenty of
good reading at hand; also games,
and other things, both instructive
and amusing. If possible, let your
boys have "den" of some kind
| for their very own. Encourage
them to invite their friends to the
house. The boy who feels at lib
erty to bring his mates now and
then for a social evening, has no
occasion to seek recreation on the
corners. Don't frown d low n
'fads." Let the boy collect things
if he wishes. Don't term his pre-
cious collections rubbish" or
"litter," and don't complain that
they "gather so much dust" A
better way is to insist that he shall
himself, keep his treasures in good
order. Remember, that each fad
has an influence on the boys body,
mind or soul. Such fads as col
lecting shells, flowers or rocks and
minerals, take the boy into the
open air and strengthen him ply
sically. They bring him into close
relation with Natures myriad and
wonderful beauties. They bring
him nearer God, and develop and
refine his soul. Others fads, such
as postcards, stamp and coin col
lecting, quicken his mental per,
ceptions and are wonderful edu.
cational aids. Indeed, almost any
harmless fad is very good thing
for a boy. 1t will serve to keer
both hands and mind occupied, anC
it is as true that Satan finds some
mischief still for idle minds to do
as it is true that he finds it for idle

The lack of proper fertilization
is often the cause of poor yield OF
wheat on Delaware soils. While
the first consideration is the
thorough preparation of the soil
through crop rotation and good
tillage, certain applications of
plant food are necessary on most
farms to secure the best yields of
grain. The use of legume crops
and manure in the rotation lessons
the demands for fertilizers carry
ing a large percent of nitrogen.
The kind and amount Of fertil-
izers that may be used with the
greatest profit will depend on the
previous cropping of the land and
it's natural fertility. No rule can
be laid down as to what fertilizer
formula is best for wheat on all
farms. However, there are some
general principles which apply to
the fertilizer requirement OF
wheat. On Delaware soils wheat
responds readily to a liberal use
of phosphoric acid. Experiments
at this Station show that phOs-
phoric acid when used alone, pro-
duces a greater increase in the
WELD of wheat than either nitro
gen or potash used singly, indicat-
ing that the soil is deficient in
phosphoric acid.
This does not mean that nitrogen
and potash are not necessary for
the best results. 1t is only when
the three, nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash are supplied in
the proper amounts, either by the
soil or by the grower that the
maximum yield will be secured.
On poor soils it will be necessary
to supply all three elements of
plant food. Where the land has
been carefully rotated with le-
gumes, or where a legume such as
cowpeas precedes the wheat crop
only phosphoric acid and potash
are greatly needed. If the soil has
not been kept in a good state of
fertility by rotation, the liberal
use of nitrogen will pay, and

CARES FOR ITALIAN

Camps for. Industrial
Workers in Earth
quake Region

The central Y. M. C. A. building
in Via Balboa, Rome, which was
given by Miss Helen Gould, has
not been operated for years be-
cause of lack of funds. This build
| ing is being taken over and being
operated under the name of the
American Y. w. c. A. for a year.
1t is to be a foyer for working girls
and also an international hostel
for students. Miss Mabel Warner,
who was in charge of the Hostess
House in Rome during the winter,
will be head of this work.
A large, old-fashioned hotel on
one of the central squares in Genoa
has been taken over. The main
dining room and some floors are
to be used as a Hostess House or
women's hotel, while the upper
floors will be fitted up for in
dustrial girls who have difficulty
finding reasonable living accom-
modations. The ground floor will
be made into a recreation room,
cafeteria and class rooms.
A vacation camp has been open,
ed in the Tuscan hills, above Flor
ence, for girls who have become
anemic during the war through
lack of food and bad living con-
ditions. Miss Clark reports that
the Italian girls are quite gener-
ally underfed.
"They lived on chestnut flower
or whatever they could get. I saw
one little girl there, worn out from
lack of food and from lack of
wages. She was an embroiderer
and got fifty centimes a day-ten

This camp was quite badly
shaken up and the walls cracked
quite a bit during the earthquake
in June 29th. The shocks occurred
every hour so that the entire
household had to sleep on the
stones in the open driveway one
night, but earthquakes are such g
common thing that this disturbed
no one. A fresh group Of girls
were eager to go to camp next
