SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmothcr's Resipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. II makes or mars the face. When 1t fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul. phur enhances it's appearance hun dredfod.
 Don't bother 10 prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of ether ingredients at a small cost all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's' Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair. taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.

Every time you open yossr lips to speak, people can judge Whet,er or not you are really fasidioNs -or personally careless.

TRY this little experiment today. Notice l among the people you meet how you un- consciously and mstinctively watch their teeth when they re talking You've done it all your life because it's matter of simplest psy- chology for the eye to seek the sourceo ofa sound.
 In the same way your own teeth are under scrutiny every time you open your lips to speak. And if the teeth are not right-if they are dull, stained and bear the marks of tooth- brush or dentists neglect, they immediately become liability.
 Tosone people who are more sensitive about things like this, unclean teeth are even revolt- ing. hismayneverhaveoccurredtoyoubefore.
 Only the right dentifrice- consistently used will protect you against such criticism. Listerine Tooth Paste cleans teeth new way. The first tube you buy (25 cents) or the free sample (see coupon) will prove this to you.
 You will notice the improvement even in the first few days. And, moreover. just as Listerine IS the safe antiseptic, so Listerine Tooth Paste is the safe dentifrice. It cleans yet it cannot injure the enamel.

how to sharpen and care for tools,
and how to make many useful articles
for the home, thus getting an insight
into carpenter and vocational agri-
culture.
Much lasting good in home making
is obtained from the Domestic Science
department. Girls learn to cook and
sew, and many things about caring for
the home.
Our Junior High School Savings
Bank is a commendable feature of our
social program. 1t teaches boys and
girls to save little of their earnings.
Miss Houston's untiring efforts are
being rewarded after a few weeks
operation of the bank. There are 43
depositors who have deposited over
$S5.
The Junior High is also in the game
all of the time when it comes to
county and state spelling, essay or
declamatory contests.
In their general science work they
get a thorough drilling in sanitation
of home and self, and environment.
They are taught the advantages of a
are taught home making and first aid;
they are taught the worth while things
which touch their every day life and
the world about them.
The Delta High School contains one
of the finest auditoriums in the state.
1t has a seating capacity of about 500.
The floor is on the graduated plan
so that, no matter how well filled it is,
a good view of the stage is to be had
by all.
The stage is the high school gymna-
sum and is very large and well equip
ped. The auditorium was so much
more comfortable and better in every
way than a tent that the entire chau-
tauqua was held in it last summer
Among other things held there were:
The lyceum courses; Junior play,
Garden of the Shaw" by the Choral
Society; play by the Woman's Club;
High School operetta; five-number
chautauqua put on by the Y. w. C. A;
Senior minstrel show; various school

are rated on their ability to keep up
with the work and adjustments are
made at the end of each month.
The pupils of the Delta public
schools have for the past four years
been grouped into three divisions, A,
b and c. The three factors determin-
ing the group to which pupil belongs
are: the teachers estimate of the
pupils; the child's ability to do work
as found in his school record. and the
mental tests of native ability. The
largest factor considered is the child's s
ability to do work which makes it
possible for pupil through applica-
tion to determine his own grouping.
The pupils are transferred at the end
of any one month from one group to
another. This fleNibility of promotion
makes it possible to adjust a pupil
! monthly to the group where he be-
longs. This gives a due reward to
close application to the work as
signed.
Social Program of the J. II. S.
The Delta Junior High School is
divided into six advisory divisions
The advisor of each group with the
aid of the principal looks after the
needs of the individuals of the various
groups.
The pupils meet twice daily with
their advisors for few minutes for
the purpose of taking the roll and
checking up on the tardies and alb
sentees.
Once week on Mondays each ad-
visor meets with her group at the
assembly hour to plan and carry out
such social work as may present it
self, or which may have been decided
upon in previous faculty meeting.
1t may be the planning of a Friday
after school social or a Friday morn
ing literary program. or the teachers
may give health talk. or talk on
morals and manners. Each group is
limited to two group socials year.
1t may be an after school hike, a
lunch or n Halloween social, etc.
