DON'T Pull OUT THE GRAY HAIRS;
A SIMPLE REMEDY RESTORES COLOR

lists say that one of the best prepara-
tions to use is the old-fashioned sage
tea which our grandparents used. The
best preparation OF this kind Is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants. the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation Is offered to the pub
lie at fifty cents a bottle, and is recon-
mended and sold by all druggists.

titled to be known as an honest man.
A second consideration. which is per.
haps just now more pertinent than the
former, is that the standard OF dishon-
esty is singular, not plural. 1t Is every
where uniform. There cannot be one
standard fey private life and one FOR pub
lie life, one for business men and one
for politicians. The attempt to estab.
lish a dual standard would be fallacious
and mischievous. Some criticism. much
of 1t mistaken and misplaced. has been
directed against the Japanese for what
are described as their two standards OF
honesty, one for military life and one for
commercial life We ourselves are faS
too much inclined to err in the same way
with a discrimination between business
and political life. For 1t must be noted
that almost invariably political dishon-
esty depends upon business dishonesty.
Bribery, for example. necessarily involves
two parties. If a legislator is bribed 1t =
a business man who brides him.

HONESTY UNCHANGING VIRTUE

From the New York Tribune.
The standard of honesty is not rela-

pie, the standard of efficiency. There
are degrees of dishonesty. no doubt, but
there are none of honesty. A man must
be entirely honest or he is not honest at
all. That does not mean that a dishon-
est man is Incapable of. an honest or a
noble action. 1t is an old and true say
ing that there is honor among thieves
sometimes. But once man crosses the
definite and absolute line between hon.
esty and dishonesty he ceases to be en-
