RURAL POPULATION IN
COLORADO SHOWS INCREASE

While the farm population in the
country rs a whole has increased
much less rapidly in the past decade
than the population Of the cities, in
Colorado the population Of the farming
districts has grown more rapidly than
that of the cities Figures announced
by the federal census bureau and
compiled in the office Of the State I'm
migration Department show that the
rural population Of Colorado is now
5l.7G percent Of tho total population,
compared with 1913 percent in 1919.
In the United States the rural popul-
alton Is now +S,I per cent Of the total.
compared with 53.7 percent in 1919.
The census report shows that the
farming population of four of the
Rocky Mountain statcS-Colorado
Montana Wyoming and New Mexico
has increased more rapidly than the
urban population, while the urban pop
ulation has increased more rapidly
than the rural population in Idaho, Ne
vada, Arizona and Utah. Agricultural
development in the Rocky Mountain
group Of states, according to the CEN
sus report, has been much more rapid

The term Forage Poisoning" has
been used, in the absence Of a better
term, TO designate a disease among
domestic animals, which at times has
assumed enzootic proportions
The so-called Kansas horse plague
Of 1912 and again in 1918, was ascrib-
ed to forage poisoning. Isolated cases
are occurring constantly.
Poisoning from sausage, ripe olives
canned beans. etc. in man Is now de-
fnitcly ascTibed 10 the effects Of the
toxins Of the bacillus botulinus. 1t
appears that much Of the so called
forage poisoning in animals Is due
10 the same cause, according TO that
well known authority, DIR. George Clio
yer Of the Colorado Agricultural Col
legc. Food containing this deadly or
ganism does not necessarily need TO
be moldy or otherwise visibly spoiled.
The symptoms are: prostration. sub
normal temperature, constipation. diff
ficult respiration paralysis of the
throat and various brain symptoms.
Fortunately we have botulinus antitoX-I
in, which appears 20 be very affectiveI
in preventing the disease, and has also

During the recent campaign Repub-

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get q large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now. because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft Sbrush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. 1t Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease. o
