At THE LYRIC
1t would be difficult to find ON the
Keith circuit a more enjoyable two
hours than the program which opened a
three-day run at the Lyric theatre
Thursday. There is the girl act, the
boy and girl duo, the daring aerial per-
formers, the slap-stick comedians-all
that you have come to expect on
versatile vaudeville program. But diff
ferent than most, every number ranks
above the average.
Best of all, the entire bill has per-
Sonality. plenty of it.
In selecting top honors it would be
well to mention the two which stopped
the show, Ferry Convey and the
Newell-Most combination. The former
is a comedian out of the ordinary for
besides being clown and pulling all
of the stuff that used Ito knock them
out of their seats" under the big tops,
and getting away with it, he is a
talented musician. 1t is in doubt
whether the music or his antics made
the biggest hit
The Newell-Most affair starts off
with the girl" telling the boy" in
answer to bis request for the last
dance that he has already had it, but
they manage to live that down before
the curtain bow. Besides that is where
the conglomeratiOn of songs and fun
gets its name.
Touching on the runners-up, nor
sighting them by calling them such,
are Jack Cahill and Don Romaine in
clever black-faced Italian give-and-
take; Ralph Lohse and Nan Sterling
featuring woman trapeze performer
who does something more than catch
handkerchiefs and Harry Kessler with
talent sketch dubbed Broadway

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will 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 NIX
ture was applied with wonderful et-
feet
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth,s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, you Will
get this famous old preparation, inn
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair 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
YOUR hair, taking one strand at time.
By morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, 1t
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

INFORMATION ABOUT MILK
From the Greensboro Herald Journal

A question OF more than ordinary
interest to the dairymen OF Georgia IS
the one OF what effect re-combined or
reconstructed milk does or may have
on the price OF milk. To the average
man this expression had but little
meaning and we think that now II Is
a good time to give the public some
information regarding this vital ques-
ton. In some portions OF this country
milk is produced in large quantities
and for the want OF adequate trans
portation facilities. cream or butter IS
more readily and cheaply marketed
than whole milk. consequently the
producer and the wholesaler have lett
on their hands skim milk as by
product. In order to dispose OF tins
il is made into a powdered milk, A
hundred pounds OF milk, roughly
speaking. contains S71z pounds OF
water and l21I pounds OF total solids.
a pounds of butter tat ~ pounds OF
solids not iat-casein, albumen, sugar
and ASH.
This skim milk is sprayed into a
vacuum where it is exposed to such a
degree OF heat that all the water is ia
ken from it. and the residue that IS
lett is the components parts OF milk
excepting. water and butter lat. This
powder is shipped to various centers
OF trade, where it is distributed into
the many channels OF commerce.
1t is used to a very large extent by
bakers, confectioners and ice cream
makers and often times, we are AFRAID,
used indiscriminately by wholesale
dealers. through their various chan
nels OF distribution.
Milk is recombined in the following
way: To 731 pounds Of water is added
7 pounds OF skim milk powder, 40
pounds Of sweet or unsalted butter.
These ingredients are put together in
a homogenizer, emulsiiier or visco-
lizer. This makes hundred gallons
OF per cent milk. 1t is difficult for

Iany one to distinguish this manuiact-
Iured milk from a hundred gallons OF
pasteurized milk; consequently, 1t IS
readily sold as fresh milk thus lmpos-
ing on the consumers.
! There IS no doubt but what con
denscd. evaporated and powdered milk
/ have been a great boon to humanity,
as they IAN be kept good so long and
carried so readily, even to the utter
| most parts Of the earth. 1t Is not our
intentions in this article to discuss
1 whether or not milk in these forms IS
as healthy as fresh milk, but simply
to give the public some idea as what
re-combined milk is and to indicate
the way in which it may be used to
/ the detriment OF dairymen and pro-
ducers OF milk. For instance, today a
/ hundred gallons OF re-cOmbned milk
can be made from the very best prod
ucts obtainable for $50. and can be
made several cents cheaper per gallon
| bv using inferior butter and milk
Dowder~ The estimate OF the above
cost is made from the use OF the best
sweet butter, the price OF which IS
quoted today at 81 cents per pound.
1t is lso estimated on the highest
priced milk powder on the market,
which is quoted 10 cents per pound,
barrel lots. 1t is two cents cheaper in
car lots. Much butter can be bought
at cheaper prices and there are sew
eral brands OF powdered milk that are
on the market at from one to three
cents cheaper in price than the one
referred to- At the above quoted price
hundred gallons OF powdered milk
( from the very best ingredients could
be made for $3216, but the value of
one hundred gallons of raw milk, &C
cordng to prices prevailing today is
/ 40.
The danger to the dairymen in this
existing condition is, that the whole
sale dealer in the city can make for
themselves So on every hundred gal
Ions OF milk re-combined by them
provided they use the very best ingre-
dents possible and from $40 to ST.
per hundred gallons by using inferior
butter and milk powder.
! The danger to the producer comes
about from the fact that when the
price OF fresh milk is higher than the
combined price OF sweet butter and
| milk powder. the wholesale dealer can
manipulate the milk market by making
their own milk, thus Cutting the
market and lowering the price OF
fresh milk, which is frequently below
the cost OF production.
The only remedy that we can see
for this state of affairs is that, the
law step in and compel every man
who sells re-combined milk to sell ii
as such. and brand it in such way
edge OF what he is buying. The leg
islature for the protection of the dairy
that the consumer may have knowl-
men and the whole state, should and
must at its next session pass law
requiring that all re-combined milk
should be branded as such.
