MANY DYES AT OUR SERVICE
Cutting Off of European Supply Need
Not Cripple the Country, Is the
Assertion Made.
Now that the supply of coal-tar
dyes from Europe has been cut off,
the Hardwood Kecord suggests that \
we return to the dyes that were used !
before coal-tar colors were invented. !
These were derived from bark, roots, i
wood and the juices of plants. The f
Hardwood Itccord gives a list of the j
most important native plants that
were so used and that are still open
to us.
The yellow oak supplies a tine yellow
dye called quercitron, found in a
thin layer under the outer hark.
The butternut gives a brown with
which the famous Confederate
"jeans" were dyed.
The outer hulls of the nuts of the
blnek walnut furnish a dark brown.
The roots, bark and wood of the
osage orange produce a fine yellow.
Other yellows can lie made from the
yellow wood, mcsquit and staghom
du mac*
The Indians used aider wood for
making a reddish dye.
By boiling the finely chipped
heartwood of the bluewood a black
dye i9 produced in the valley of the
Rio Grande.
The brilliant red with which the
Indians tinted their eagle feathers
and buckskin garments was made
from dogwood.
Red gum and locust wood were
used also by the pioneers in America,
and the vivid yellow of Chinese silks
is made from a tree similar to the
locust.

FOLIAGE OF THE SEASONS
Magnificent Color Maturity That
Conies With the Advance of
the Months.
The foliage of summer is generally
mature, green, sober. There is a
certain warmth and gayety about the
leaf progress of June and early July,
and a vast variety in shades, as well, J
so that any body of trees and slirubs ,
of varying kinds will display any- '
thing from the youngest light yellow j
leaves of the Norway maples to the
deep, even green of the horse chestnut.
Toward the first of August the j
leaves are quite or nearly full grown,
and they have settled down to their
real work of elaborating food for the
treos that bear them.
My water eolor friend, Little, has j
discovered in this color maturity an
other confirmation of his theory thai
there is a sort of color compensation,
a chromatic balance of the seasons,
T. Horace McFarland writes in the
Countryside Magazine. In spring
the air and the ground are cool,
though slowly absorbing heat, and
the leaves and flowers are warm in
hue?there are the really hot colors
of the tulips, the yellows of some tree
blossoms, and so on. As the season
warms, the foliage and flower hues
become in general cooler, until in
summer we have the deep green of
innfnre leaves, (he deep blue of the
white dotted sky and the blues and
whites of the garden. When cooler
nights begin to come the summer foliage
is likely to assume hints of
brown, the corn takes on the colors
of maturity, anil we have the decidedly
warm-hued chrysanthemums,
purple asters, and the like, to compensate.
The sharp weather of winter
demands all possible heat from
nature's color scheme, and we have
it in the browned leaf, following the
brilliant and not cool hues of autumn.

tree stem, and even in the shadows

Hero's my giiar&ntee?Go to any drug

Liver Tone. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't straighten you right up
and make you feel fine and vigorous I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver TVme
is destroying the sale of calomel because
it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable,
therefore it can not salivate or
make you sick.
I guarantee, that one spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone will put your sluggish

which is clogging your svstem and making
