Whore a Calico Strip

Human nature Is not more unchang-

Africa the most moral people generally
are those who wear the least clothing,
says Major Raine in the London Mail.
Until quite recently the Kavlrondo
Of Kenya colony wore no clothes at ALL
But at length the government fit went
forth that this practice or nonpra ctice,
must cease. Then each woman obedi-
emily purchased herself q length Of
calico, that was worn shawlwise, and
that only when a government officer

But the people who do wear clothes
are most conservative in their tastes.
The cloths, or robes, must always be
the same length, the same breadth and
Of the same material.
No underclothes are worn, so that
an African husband is not called upon
to meet very high lingerie bills con
tracted by his wife. AS for stockings,
silk or otherwise. tribal women do not
wear them.
An African woman will take dozen

All over Africa there is an unlimited
demand for calico, bleached and IN

the east coast, Manhamoodi, or Baftan,

Although Japan and India are minor
competitors, America has practically a
monopoly of trade all through the dark

Millions and millions of yards of
Amerikani are imported annually into
the African inundated areas and crown
colonies.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
it's Grandmother's Recipe 20
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 Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hum
dredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound This can always be de-
pended 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
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.

Electric "Sun's for Crops

Two crops of lettuce have been
made to grow in the time only one
grew before, by the use of electric
lights as an artificial sun, according
to the international Institute of Agrl-
culture. Five electric bulbs of consid-
cradle power were turned on bed Of
lettuce daily for six hours after dusk.
The lettuce so treated had, after only
twelve days, approximately two and a
half times as many fresh leaves as
other heads which had been planted
at the same time but which had not
been exposed to the electric light.

Madrid Now Has a CurfeuU

Madrid has always been a city of
night life. How many are those writers
who have described nocturnal rambles
through its cafes and taverns where
all classes mingled
Now, however, the curfew rings at
three o'clock In the morning and the
police have been instructed to see TO
II that no establishment remains open
after that late-or early-hour. This
is an economic measure. as the cost of
lighting is too high in land where
coal is scarce.
At three o'clock, therefore, all the
guitars in Madrid must cease their
stunning and the adrolt wielders of
the polgnard must sheathe their
weapons for a few hours.-Le Figaro,

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of
Good Water

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Too
much rich food creates acids which clog
the kidney pores so that they sluggisbly
filter or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then Won
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches. liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation. dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts. or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage, or al
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
to drink soft water in quantities; also
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also 10
help neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer cause irritation, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which everyone can
take now and then to help keep the
kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby
often preventing serious kidney compt-
cations. BY all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

should comply with the same condt
ness man. He should show the banker
that the loan is for productive pur-
poses. The farmer ought not to OBJ
ject to request for credit state
ment from his banker when negotiat-
ing a loan. This statement is not
difficult to prepare when the farmer
keeps records. The farmer who does
not keep records is not doing business
in a business-like way and is not en-
titled to the same consideration as the
man who does.
For instance, loans to farmers for
the purchase OF well selected high
grade livestock constitute one of the
most effective ways of financing the
farmer and helping him to make a
financial success of his business. In
making these loans, the banker can
well inquire as to whether the farmer
has adequate housing facilities and
plenty of the right kind of feeds be-
fore the investment is made.
II the banker is to encourage farm.
ers in investments of this kind, he
should have a hand in protecting these
investments. 1t is to the advantage
OF the farmer as well as the banker
to carry insurance on buildings, in
Guiding fire and lightning, and If need
be, tornado Too much attention can
not be given to the health of animals.
Neither the banker nor the farmer is
justified in making an investment in
dairy cows that have not been care
fully tested for tuberculosis.
Work It Out Together
Financing the farmer should be the
result of teamwork. The banker and
the farmer should consider each other
as. confidential advisers. The farmer
needs to know the dangers attached
to investments. and the banker needs
more information on the possibilities
of returns on farm investments well
placed. No right-minded farmer ought
to object to careful diagnosis of con
ditions before the loan is negotiated
Both parties are interested in having
the proposed investment pay the in
terest and eventually the principal,
and also return a profit to the farmer
There are times when the banker
might loan to the farmer to the detri-
ment Of the farmer himself. The
farmer who was kept from making a
heavy investment in land when land
values we're at their peak is today
blessing the banker for heading him
away from what would have resulted
in serious loss, if not bankruptcy.
Financing the farmer is job that
requires clear thinking and sound
judgment The underlying principles
of profitable loan or Investment
need to be carefully considered by all
parties interested. Two heads are
better than one, and when two or
more men get together In sympathetic
contact, determined to weigh the va
rious possibilities of success and fail
ure, and then act upon their united
Judgment, then the farmer is well
financed.

WASHINGTON is deserted this
week Everyone has gone to Cleve
land for the Republican Nationa
Convention. About the only public
official Of any Importance left here
is the President himself. With his
nomination assured, there was moth
ing for Mr. Coolidge to do except
take it .sy here, as it was about the
first real breathing spell he has had
since he entered the White House.
CONGRESS ALWAYS scatters to
the four winds as soon as a session
ends, but the migration out of the
capital was quicker than usual this
time because of the impending
Cleveland convention. One special
train left the Union Station here,
loaded with Senators, Congressman
and newspapermen, thirty minutes
after the hour set for adjournment.
No time lost there.
THE AMERICAN embassadorial
post ut Toxic, recently vacated by
Cyrus Woods, May be filled at once,
if for no other reason than a
political. one. Rumors have been
heard that Secretary Hughes did not
want to send a new man there be-
cause there were only few months
more of the Coolidge Administration,
and no one could tell what might
happen in the November election.
Talk like that is not good for a
presidential candidate, so there may
be a new Ambassador in Japan to
quiet the rumors.
GEORGE HARVEY'S return to
journalism after a successful filing
at diplomacy is Of especial interest
in Washington because he has be-
come the editor of the Post, the
eapitol's rock-ribbed Republican
daily Harvey's editorial page looks
like it had been taken from one Of
the old conservative London papers,
and he is filling ii up so far with
clippings which he procured during
his stay in Great Britain. OF
interest, too. is the fact that Harvey
is occupying the now famous house
at 1909 II street where Harry
Daugherty and Jesse Smith lived
when they came to Washington four
years ago.

TELLS BANKERS
TO ADVERTISE

There is no greater medium of edu-
cation in our daily life than the news
paper, and, OF all mediums offered for
bank advertising, the columns of the
newspapers reach the innermost cir
cles of our population in the most
widespread manner, Motley II. Flint
Los Angeles banker. told the confer
ence of the Savings Bank Division,
American Bankers Association. held
there recently,
Advertising, one of mans modern
selling forces, has found fixed place
in the banking field" Mr.. Flint said,
This, too. in the face Of dire predic-
tons of many old-time bankers, who
once ridiculed the idea that advertis-
ing could be applied to the selling of
a service so intangible as that offered
by banking institutions. The time was
that hank was satisfied with pub
fishing its statement of condition.
That day has been relegated TO the
past
There has been a gratifying re
spouse on the part OF the public in
this new appeal From it has grown
better understanding by our people Of
banks and their functions. Where a
bank account formerly was the excep-
ton it is now the rule. Surely this
can be attributed principally to the
fact that bankers have come out Of
tseir shells and. through advertising,
have induced neople generally to come
into their institutions and learn more
about the beneficial services banks
have to offer This can be shown in
no better way than by the marvellous
growth in savings accounts.
Astounding sums are being invest
ed annually in bank and financial ad-
verusing. I say invested advisedly.
Ii is not merely being spent; it is in.
vested. It is invested for various rea-
sons. and not the least Of these is for
the purpose Of keeping the name OF
our banks before the people. accom-
panied by q bit OF bank education"
