Students Study Grading of Grain.
How the grain markets of the coun

ducts is being studied in a course
which was started at the Ohio state
university last year. The students
taking the course are seniors in the
department of agriculture.
The students are given lectures on
market distribution and study the
field crops of the world, In the labor
atory they study the grading of grain,
testing it as to weight, color, percent
age of moisture, quality, soundness
and kind. Samples of ear corn and
grain are received from farmers in
the Franklin county and from grain
exchanges in the primary markets.
GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.—

PREDICTS PRESIDENT IN SPEECH
AT WASHINGTON.
ORDER AGAIN AT MEXICO CITY
Carranza Forces Now Occupy Capital
and Feeling of Confidence
Prevails.
Washington.—Another confident pre
diction that the country soon will en
ter upon a new era of enterprise and
prosperity was voiced by President
Wilson in a speech before the conven
tion of the American Electric Rail
way association. Speaking to busi
ness men and through them to the
world of business generally, the presi
dent outlined what the democratic
congress has tried to accomplish
through its trust legislation, and de
clared that while a test period would
be required to determine whether the
correct remedy had been applied, he
believed the “maze of interrogation
points” which had checked enterprise
for twenty years had been cleared
away. With a common understanding
regarding business reached he said,
henceforth nobody is going to be sus
picious of any business just because
it is big. He gave some of the “rules
of the game,” which he thought ought
to be followed, heading the list with
publicity—"not doing anything under
cover.” “1 have alwa>s maintained
that the only way in which men could
understand one another was by meet
ing one another,” said the president.
“If I believed all that I read in the
newspapers 1 would not understand
anybody. I have met many men
whose horns dropped away the mo
ment I was permitted to examine their
character. It seems to me that I can
say with a good deal of confidence,
that we are upon the eve of a new era
of enterprise and of prosperity. En
terprise has been checked in this coun
try for almost twenty years, because
men were moving amongst a maze of
interrogation points. They did not
know what was going to happen to
them. All sorts of regulations were
proposed, and it was a matter of un
certainty what sort of regulation was
going to be adopted. All sorts of
charges were made against business,
as if business were at fault, when
most men know that the great major
ity of businessmen were honest, were
public-spirited, were intending the
right thing, and the many were made
afraid because the few did not do what
was right.
Carranzaists Control Capital.
Mexico City.—The capital is again
in the hands of the forces of General
Carranza who. while acting as the pro
visional president of the government,
was forced to leave Mexico City early
in November under the threat of the
advancing troops of General Villa and
Zapata who disagree with his policies.
The new authorities have re-estab
lished order and a general feeling of
confidence prevails. It has been es
tablished that the shooting which oc
curred in the main plaza, before the
National palace, when General Alvaro
Obregon, at the head of the Carranza
forces, reached that place, was done
by snipers who were hidden on the
roof of the cathedral, General Obregon
said that the shots were undoubtedly
directed towards him and that it was
an attempted assassination. The per
petrators have not been captured.
Three soldiers were killed and a num
ber wounded during the firing,
Ask for Live Stock Probe.
Washington, D. C.—The divergent
path of prices of live stock and
slaughtered meats, have roused the
suspicious of Representative Ander
son of Minnesota, who has offered a
resolution for an inquiry by the de
partment of justice into the forces
which are alleged to be manipulating
stock and meat prices at the present
time. Mr. Anderson states the price
of fat cattle recently fell $1.20 per
hundredweight and of fat hogs, $2.20.
At the same time, the price of meats
has advanced.

Among the clever satires in Barry
Pain's new book, “Stories Without

publisher went to an employment
agency to secure a clever writer.
The agency man told him it would
be easy to fill the order.
“ ‘We’ve got 480 clever writers on
our books,’ he said. ‘I’ll send a few
dozen of the best around to your office
this afternoon and you can pick one.
That do?’
“ ‘Nicely,’ said the customer, and
rose to go, when he remembered some
thing. 'By the way,’ he said, ‘I also
want a boy who can be trusted to take
charge of the stamps and petty cash.’
“Then Mr. Agency threw down his
pen. He did not book that order. He
gave a sigh like a high-power suction
pump. 'Do you?’ he said in a melan
choly voice. ‘Well, if you find two save
one for me. I want one myself.’
“Oh. my poor friends who are trying
to be cleverer than you are, remember
that the world also wants honest men.

“Well, old boy, if you have any girls
staked <^ut to whom you can Introduce

“What, you?”
"Even me!"
“What’s the matter with little Miss
Mabel and you?”
"There’s nothing the matter with
Miss Mabel that 1 know of, and I am
quite certain there is nothing the mat
ter with me. Take us individually and
we are all right. 1 am just not going
to see her any more, that’s all!”
“You are not going to call upon her
any more?”
“Never again!”
“You are not going to throw her
down?”
“Well, if you call it that!”
“That beautiful little girl with whom
you fell in love at first sight?”
“The very same!”
"The girl whom you told me was the
only girl in the world for you?”
“I may have said that about her. but
can't a man change his mind?”
"You were one man whose mind I
thought would never change. Why, 1
remember the first time you saw that
girl!”
“I remember that much myself. It
was about three and a half doors this
side of your house, on June 1?. at 25 Vi
minutes after four in the afternoon.
Oh, you can’t tell me anything; I re
member all about her myself!”
“Do you remember that you asked
me to hold your hat while you chased
her?”
“Yes, I remember that. I remember 1
how long It took me to engineer an in
troduction to her. I remember my joy
the first time she permitted me to call,
every look of her eyes, every intona
tion of her voice, every clasp of her
hand!”
“Some memory, old man! And in
spite of that you are goir-g to turn her
down?”
“I am going to cut her cold!"
“What particular reason have you
for that?”
“I have several very good reasons
from my standpoint. One evening I
had tickets for the theater, and she
knew it; and had promised to go, and
when I called for her she had forgot
ten all about it and gone with some
one else. The next time I called upon
her she was fussy all evening. I just
thought she was nervous, and paid no
attention to it, but remained as late
as usual. Then when I went away
for my vacation, and she had prom
ised to write to me, she never wrote
me once. She said it slipped her
mind!”
"Maybe it did!"
“If id did, and her receiving a letter
from me every day, her mind was
some slippery. It got so finally that
she wouldn't go out with me, even
when she had an engagement to go
out with me, and she wouldn’t go out
with me when she didn't have an en
gagement to go out with me, and after
a time, when I asked her to make an
engagement with me, she would al
ways have a previous engagement
with someone else. Her father got to
treating me gruffly, and her mother
used to come in and sit and look at
me as if she felt sorry for me.”
“And is that the reason you decided
to turn her down? Just because of
those few little things? A young girl’s
mental processes, you know, are fear
fully and wonderfully carried out.
Those were just the odd, unstable hu
mors of a little girl. Miss Mabel isn’t
grown up!”
"She is twenty-one!”
“What’s twenty-one? When you and
I are seventy we shall look back at

bui much of it will be wasted.
In making white flour and many foods, the outer, or bran coat of the wheat is
discarded. This bran-coat contains vital mineral salts, iron for the blood, lime for the
teeth and bones, phosphate of potash for the brain and nerves, etc, etc, all absolutely
necessary to health.
All of these mineral elements are retained in making
