Warren Hines Writes From Some- where in France—Had Stormy Trip Acrose—Train Dispatcher William Cronin Il Mr, and Mrs. D. J. Hines have re- ceived the following letter from their son, Warren: Somewhere in France March 13, 1918. My dear Mother: Have finally ar- rived at destinatian, but the trip was very tiresome. ] suppose you haye been worrying about my safety. Well. we were in trouble once, having met two submarines, but they were easily taken care of, it being believed one of them was sunk. L pedo was launched, but it went wide of its_mark. We were aboard ship for a long time angd it was very tedious. were aboard and it is, of course nec- essary to carry as many as can be gotten on, and for that reason condi- tions were very much congested. In our sleeping compartment berths were arranged three high and that was the worst place of them all. We did not know what tables were, but just wen: along in line, got our portion and look- ed for a soft place on deck to eat. Ev- erything was not as rosy as it might bave been, but we braved it all right.| For the first week about all we were doing was running into and out of storms. The worst of them was when we were out for a day or two. It started to come up in the evaning, gradually got worse as the night pro- gresseq and about 4 o'clock in the morning was at its best. The ship listeq to such an angle that water came over and washed the deck. This was unfortunate for us as the hatch- way leading to our sleeping compart- ment was open and the water gushed down there so it would remind you of sleeping under Niagara Falls. As the boat kept rocking back and forth the water was running back and forth un- éer our berths and it swept everything ; before it. We wers hunting around there for about two hours, getting all our stuff together.

GRANDMAUSEDSAGE TEATODARKEN HAR SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR T0 | BRING BACK COLOR, GLOSS ! AND YGUTHFILNESS. Common garden sage breved into a heavy tea swith suipaur added, will turn gray, etreaked and faded hair beautifuliy. dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a reve- lation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome, An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. ‘This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair, is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and atiractive- ness. 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 small strand at a time; by morn- ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair' becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

Saybrook ! SHE MADE UP A MIXTURE, OF it The value of the produce grown in these gardens is variously estimated at from $300,000,000 to $359 000,000, According to the U. S. Depaftflfim] of Agriculture, a total of about 860 000000 quarts of produce .valued ati from $170,000,000 to $180,000,000 were canned in the homes of America by the Cold Pack method alone, Many millions of bushels of vegetables were dried or stored for winter use, As splendid as was that record, it should be exceeded this year. At least 5.000,000000 war gardens - should 'be planted and o billion or more jars of produce canned. % The war garden the canned vege- tables, the ropt cellars, have helped millions of mmilies over the winter. They have done much, will continue to do much toward winning the war. As: great as was the need of home and vacant lot gardens last year, the need this year will be greater. Awaken to Importance.

The Boys and Girls Will Do Much of the Part in the people of every community should be thoroughly awakened to' the import- ance and economy of these gardens and this can best be done through co- operative effort.

OF AGRICULTURE it Onions can be produced on almost ja2ny good garden soil ‘and constitute | one of the standard crops found in} almost every garden.. The usual plan in the home garden is to plant sets in rows far enough apart to suit the method of cultivation to be followed. ‘The sets need not be more than 2 or 3 inches apart in the rows. Onion sets may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked and | before frosts are over. Some kinds may be planted in the autumn. The potato or multiplier onion can be planted from sets in the autumn and will produce excellent early green onions. Onions may be grown from seed either by starting the seed in the hotbed .and transplanting to the open ground or by driili in rows directly in the garden. With good soil and | proper care it is possible to produce 1 good-sized bulbs from seed in a single } season. | oni require frequent shallow cultivation, and it may be necessary {to resort to hand work in order to {keep the crop free from weeds.

Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical author- itles,-are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic “acid stomach” is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers ould do either one of two things. Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet. avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretions, or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Bisurated Magnesia at_their meals. There is probably no better, safer or more reliable ‘stomach -anti-acid than Bisurated Magnesia, and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach. and is not a digestent. But a_teaspoonrul of the powder or a couple of five grain tab- lets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent its further formation. This. removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or artificlal digestents. Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag- nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid,’ milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative sh Women and Misses & Modera Pri rices gational church TFriday evening.
