Measuring heiqht Of Trees.

To measure the height of a tree
which stands so that the length of
the shadow can be measured, set a
stick upright, letting it form right
angle with the surface of the ground.
AS the length Of the shadow Of the
stick is to the height Of the stick, so
is the length of the shadow of the
tree to the height Of the tree. The
tree must stand so the length of its
shadow can be measured. Multiply
the length of the shadow of the tree
by the height of the stick, and divide
by the length of the shadow Of the
stick.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell

The old-tinle mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray 'streaked and faded hair Is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage.
 Nowadays though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and mussy mixing at home All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your nafr, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the la dies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, 1t also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is SO attractive
