Common garden sage brewed Into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to- use preparation improved by the addi tion of other ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one Bmall strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux uriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It Is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Economy. Unquestionably, honesty Is the best policy, but a lot of folks think they can get along with something lesB expensive.

Grease spots may be removed by the application of carbon tetrachloride, ac cording to H. W. Zollcr, assistant In Chemistry in the Kansas State Agricul tural college. . "Removing greuse spots with gaso line or benzine Is both dangerous and wasteful," said Mr. Zollcr. "Chloroform Is effective, but Is dangerous. Carbon tetrachloride is uijtf by cleaners be cause of ita safety, cleaning power and I he ubsence of a disagreeable odor. The disadvantage ts its expense. "Ink is difficult to remove If It has been In the garment for some time. Iron Inks uiuy be removed by oxalic. ucetlc, citric, or dilute hydrochloric acids. In case of the coal-tur Inks, the spot must be bleached. "Iron rust cun be removed by fairly strong oxulic add solution, if ullowed to stand on the goods for a short time, and often when It Is exposed to the sunlight the uctlon Is a little quicker. The excess of oxalic add must be wushed out, and the goods washed with 0 good soup, In order to neutralize the acid. Hydrochloric acid Is the best re mover of Iron rust, If handled by an ex perienced person. "An excellent formula for the remov al of fountalu-pcn ink, especially Iron Ink and Iron rust, Is the aceto-oxallc acid formula. It Is made by saturat ing a 10 per cent acetic acid solution with oxalic acid, and mixing one part of the product with four parts of alcohol."

Uric acid in meat excites the kid neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night When the kid neys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu matic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid, of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neu tralize the acids in urine, so it no long er Is a source of Irritation, thus end ing bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent llthla-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active.

Expert of Oklahoma Experiment Sta tion Advises Beginners to Get Mod em Fixtures to Keep the Honey Gatherers In. (By C. F. SANBORN, Oklahoma Experi ment Station.) A great many people fear the sting of bees, but it is Just as the Western country was years ago, where there were large herds of cattle. Very little butter was made because the cows were so wild and kicked so much that only one or two per family were milked. Now, however, with the Im proved breeds, nearly every farmer bus butter and create the year round, nnd often receives a nice income from the sale of these products. The same applies to bees. The sting ing black and hybrid bees have given place to gentle Italians. I often han dle my bees throughout a year with out being stung. In the first place, don't fool with black bees any more than you would attempt to milk Texas cows. Get pure Italians. In the second plnce, don t monkey with boxes or gums to keep I hem In, but get modern fixtures. Don't try to produce comb honey in pound boxes. An expert beekeeper is required to make It a success any where. Don't imagine that you can get rich nt the business Just because you take off, say, 200 or 300 pounds of honey some years. If you can buy from a neighbor more cheaply than from n dealer, do so ; but bear In mind that when you sell a cow, you don't always sell your best one, but more likely one with a pe culiarity that you don't like. Likewise with bees, for which reason it is often better to buy from a dealer. He will be Inclined to sell you something good becnuse he has a reputation to sustain. The colonies of Italian bees In a com plete one-nnd-one-half-story hive will cost about $20. Two empty hives (ready to put new swarms in), sup plied with full sheets of foundation In the brood chamber, and starters in the upper stories or supers, will cost $9.60.

Of all the sins of neglect committed against farm equipment that of fall ing to "grease" the farm wagon Is per haps the worst. The farm manager gets In a hurry, bitches up the team nud drives off to haul a heavy load when the "spindles" of the wagon may be so "dry" as to be bright from the friction of the wheels. Such use means heavy wear nnd rapid deterioration. It takes but a very few minutes to "grease" the wag on when everything needed is handy. When axle grease Is used often the load draws easier and the wear is re duced considerably. Keep your wrench, axle grease and axle rest handy so you will not forget to lubrlcute the wagon.

Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite as well as Dr. Simon all distinguished authors agree that whatever may be the disease, the urine seldom fails in furnishing us with a clue to the princi ples upon which it is to be treated, and accurate knowledge concerning the nature of disease can tons be obtained. If backache, scalding urine or frequent urination bother or distress you, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheu matism, gout or sciatica or you suspect kidney or bladder trouble just write Dr Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, W.Y.; send a sample of urine and de scribe symptoms.
