At that time, also. prac tichall nit the sood and much of the clothing used by the farmer and his family were produced in the home, the homes themselves being built from trees in time neighboring forests. Now these conditions have changed mater ially. Most of the industries have been taken away from the farms and Pre now found in factories throughout the United States. And while these changes show advancement, and this advancement is to be welcomed, at the same time it has taken away from ,.Ilk . ý: o c r Students Constructing a Concrete 81io. the home a kind of training which is essential to the full development of the individual for successful home building. The realization of the edu cational loss occasioned by the trans fer of these domestic industries to factories in cities and the growing need of something to take their place in the educational system, has brought about the establishment of practical schools of agriculture and domestic economy. In many of the states throughout the Union thoughtful educators have come to realize the importance of de veloping the rural phases of industrial education. With this object in view, many states have established and others are considering the establish ment of secondary schools of agricul ture and domestic economy. Of the more firmly established schools of this nature may be mentioned the congres sialonal district agricultural schools of Georgia and Alabama. the judicial district agricultural schools of Okla boma. the four district agricultural schools of Arkansas,. the agricultural high schools of California, Minnesota and New York, and the country agri cultural schools of Wisconsin and Michigan. All of these schools have one common object, that of dignifying farm labor and teaching boys and girls the industries which are now so rap TOWN GETS LEGION OF HONOR Decoration for French City That Stood Two Sieges With Much Bravery.

Peronne has two memorable sieges Skin Food of Old. Something there is in the compold tion of mutton which causes it to impart a baby-pink to the complexion and a fine, velvety texture to the skin. This is supposedly the secret of the matchless complexions of the English woman, for no others eat mutton so generously as they. And in the dis tricts where mutton is consumed most extensively the prettiest complexions are fotad.

At the end of that time Nassau gave up the selge. The siege of Peronne during the war of "soiante-diz" was one of the blood lest in history.

Secondary agricultural education is largely adapted to the conditions found in the counties where such schools are located. Special efforts are made to lurni:;h additional opportunities for schooling to the 94 out of every 100 rural and urban school schildren who would otherwise finish their education with the common schools. These county schools are, strictly speaking. agricultural trade schools and have for their sole object the educating of th, farmers' boys and girls who do not wish to take up an extensive col lege course, but who are anxious to get that form of training which will be most useful to them when they take charge of the home farm or the farm home.

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 Sed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching jscalp 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 i ;Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one Ican 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.
