Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, to age and carefully filtered will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching, and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, Is troublesome. An easier is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, know as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Remedy,” -thus avoiding a lot of muss. Some druggists make their own, but it isn't nearly so nice as "Wyeth's." While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with I Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur no one can tell, because it does so naturally; so ;evenly. You just dampen a sponge or | soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. Do this tonight and by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, after another application or two it will be* ■ restored to its natural color and be | even more glossy, soft and luxuriant than ever. Local druggists say they are celling lots of "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur;” It surely helps folks appear youngc-. The Holthouse Drug Co. m-w-s Seventy-five men wanted to work on ice.—H. L. Confer.

SET LUNCHEON TABLE SIMPLY Ov«r-Eleboratlon Is a Fault When Thia Form of Entertainment le In Order. The luncheon table is laid In a alm pie manner- -Qie simpler the better * Lay the cloth as for dinner—have a few flowers, a couple of small vases filled with blossoms and leaves, or a low bowl of ferns. Fruit also makes a decorative bit ot color. Have a lit | tie well-polished silver and glass and I b ■ sure that they are laid tastefully ; | and in ord< r. The fashion of drink , I ing tea or coffee with luncheon is I happily going out, their place being taken by the more healthful fruit | drinks, particularly grape juice. These I i may be prepared beforehand and i served from a glass pltoher on the I table. Let all of the things offered be good though simple with an attractive garnish where necessary, and your repast is bound to be successful ; Do not overload your table, "enough Is as good as a feast," and be sure you have enough to go round for “e scant meal Is scant welcome.” TWELVE CENTS ENTIRE COSI Apple Roly Poly Chiefly Depends for Success In Dexterity and Carefulness of Mixing. Two large cups of flour (2 cental add a pinch of salt, teaspoon of ba king powder, tablespoon of lard (1 cent), mix with cold water to a con sistency sufficient to roll out very thin. Three good-sized cooking apples (4 cents) chopped very fine. Spread ap pies on rolled out crust, sprinkle well with two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a little grated nutmeg, roll up as jelly roll. Put in a round pan well greased with butter. Be sure to have the par deep, a milk pan is best. Add one half cup of sugar (3 cents), table spoonful of butter (2 cents) and one half teaspoonful of grated nutmeg Cover all with boiling water Put ir the oven to bake until a good brown The boiling water, sugar and buttet make the sauce.

When making your "comforters" try this scheme. Tack the cotton batting carefully into mosquito netting, then slip between slkollne covers, and tie - as usual. When you want to wash the cover it is a simple matter to snip the knots, slip the batting out of the cov er, and cleanse it. Much bother le saved, becaused the covers can be i washed easily, whereas washing the I whole comforter is a great job, and then, in this way, the cotton batting is not matted down as by washing.

Add ten small onions cut fine, boil until the tomatoes are done, which will be about two hours Strain as directed above, then return to the fire with a half gallon of strong vinegar. Mix the dry ground spices and sugar together; one ounce of cloves, one ounce cinnamon, two ounces black pepper, two grated nutmegs, one pint salt, two pounds of light brown sugar. This mixture will make the catsup dark in color but rich in flavor. If you like it "hot” add cayenne to suit your taste. 801 l two hours longer, stirring to prevent scorching, and when cool fill the bottles and cork and cover corks with paraffin.
