FROM HEALTH MEETING

Richmond, Jan S. Health Of
iicers, public health nurses,
sanitary inspectors and others
connected with the scrvice of
the State Board OF Health are
unanimous in pronouncing the
1920 conference, just ended. the
most interesting and instructive
OF the series. Az always, the
outstanding features OF the con
ference wer, the addresses OF
notable men; but the perman-
entity valuable item of technical
gatherings is tho group meet
'ngs where workers in the same
me discuss and Try to solve
their personal Problems.
The recent conference was
notable in this latter respect
While the illuminative speeches
Of Sir Arthur Newsholme, DR..
Charles w. Stiles, Dr.. l.. L..
Lumsden and others made ,h,.
,ccasion notable, and DR. vii
inns excellent presentation of
hc development and progress
Of i,ellth work during 1920
gave inspiration to those en-.
gagged III lettering conditions,
the eection meetings We're the
valuable features; for it was
at those meetings that plans
We're laid for 1921.
Virtually every county in the
state, certainly every district
was represented at the confer
encc; and it is the belief of the
health commissioners and his
leads OF departments that the
''ntire state, particularly the
rural districts, will be benefit
ed 10y the interchange OF ideas.
Ia sanitary work and i'll public
health nursing this is especially
true, for the difficulties in these
lines, while not uniform
throughout the state, are cssent
ally similar, and in these lines
there have been some Successes
that deserve to be called nota-
Bile. At the section meetings
those successes were described
aud dissected.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
viii Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep. her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied, with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and out
of date. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get this
famous old preparation, improved by the
addition of other ingredients. which can
be depended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and even
ly that nobody can tell it has been ap-
piled You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at a time
BY morning the gray hair disappears
and after another application or two it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy

United States alone the right TO vote.

meet them half way with plenty Of good
books in the Public Library.
DEMAND GROWS
EVERY DAY.
The tale is not half told with these
incidents. Every day makes greater de-
mands for books, and every day the IL
brary books that are now doing 4Iuble
service are wearing out faster.
This cannot go on. Large donations
Of money from public-spirited men and
women will answer this appeal. Pri-
vate libraries will be put at the disposal
of the Public Library in the true spirit
of neighborliness. There will be children
who will want to give the books they
have outgrown. More books will come
into the branch libraries during the next
month or two than will go out, is the
hope Of the branch Librarians. Books
gathered together by communities sur
rounding branch libraries will be used
as much as possible for those branch
libraries. If every person or even every
family bought new book for the near
est branch library, think what the re
turns for those two or three dollars
would be.
Your branch library has been to some
of you nursery for your children when
they were little and a protection to them
when they were older. 1t has given them
the finest Of companionship This silent
influence must not die. There is an old
prOverb w-lch runs, "I1e1p to row thy
brothers boat and 10, thine own has
reached the shore"
