lctl granting to the state OF New
Mexico five million acres OF public
lands the proceeds from which are

missioner Of public lands OF the state
subject to the approval OF the Sec

fixed at $l.25 per acre. Senator
Fall Is on the right course. and II he

GRANDMOTHERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made "sage tea," and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers in using "sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit
The present generation has the advan-
tage Of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorcr this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
Usage tea" made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.

To the workers of the country, to the
farmers, for instance, To whom should

know about the character and use of

The Market Basket rs the symbol of
Prosperity.
The interest of government in high
prices and an excessive cost of living
is direct and manifest nowadays
Every law should be altered which
gives rise to conditions which make
it harder for the rank and file of men
to live. And every means ought to
be adopted by which labor may be
kept in heart ana made secure of its
just earnings.
1t is not by accident or the mere
trick of parties that the market bas-
ket is made symbol of the peoples
prosperity and content. An essential
matter with every man is, How shall
he earn enough to support himself
and those who are dependent upon
him? If anyone is allowed to fix pri-
ces unjustly or arbitrarily; if anyone
is allowed to secure what he doesn't
earn: If one man is permitted a priv
ilege which another man does not en-
joy, and fills his pocket by means of
that privilege, while another man
starves; If the market basket is emp
ty. Notwithstanding that the man who
owns it is willing and able to work.
then there is clearly something for
government to set right.
Great questions of sanitation and
public health have become govern
ment questions in one day. Before
the dawn of democracy, government
had never paid any attention to these
matters. Men were allowed to die
like flies. Nowadays We consider it the
duty of statesmen to see that women
are not overburdened with work; that
children are not dwarfed and stunted
by too great a burden of labor: that
factories are properly ventilated; that
dangerous machinery is properly
guarded; that rivers are kept pure
and cities clean; that hospitals are
provided; that education is put with
in the reach of everybody, and that
the humblest citizen Of our country
has a full chance to live and thrive.
1t is in this sense that government
becomes the instrument of humanity
of social betterment.
This is the new meaning Of govern
ment It's business is to establish and
maintain every condition which will
assist the people to a sound and
wholesome and successful life.

Mahomed swung his arm round
Georges neck. and the third cry be-
gan with a gurgle and ended with a
sigh. Deity. the Arab rebandaged
the prisoners mouth. So be 1t. He
had had his chance for freedom: now
he should drink to the bottom of the
bitter cup, along with the others. He
had no real enmity against George;
he was simply one OF the pawns In
the game he was playing. But now he
saw that there was danger In liberat-

ressed his wiry beard To subject
him to the utmost mental agony; to
break him physically. too; to pay him
back pound for pence: to bruise, to
hurt. TO rack him. that was all Ma
homed desired.
George made no further effort to
free himself. nor apparently to bestir
himself about the future Somewhere
in the fight, presumably as he fell
against the table. he had received a
crushing blow In the small ribs; and
when Mahomed threw him back, he
tainted for the second time in his life.
He reclined Imply In the corner of
the carriage, the bosom of his shirt
bulging open; for the thrifty Arabs
had purloined the pearl-studs, the
gold collar-buttons, and the sapphire
cuf1-links. And consciousness re-
turned only when they lifted him out
and dropped him inconsiderately into
the thick dust of the road. He stirred
again at his bonds. but presently lay
still. The pain In his side hurt keen
ly. and ne wasn't sure that the rib
was whole. What time had passed
since his entrance to the English Bar
was beyond his reckoning, but he
knew that 1t was yet In the dark of
night, as no light whatever penetrated
the cloth over his eyes. That he was
somewhere outside the city he was
assured by the tang of the winter
wind. He heard low voices-Arabic;
and while he possessed a smattering
Of the tongue. his head ached too
sharply for him to sense a word.
Later. camel coughed. Camels? And
camel? Bagdad? Impossible: there
were too many white men following
the known camel-ways. He groaned a
little, but the sound did not reach the
ears Of his captors. To ride camel
under ordinary conditions was a pain
full affair; but to straddle the ungainly
brute, dressed as he was. in swal-
lowtail and paper-thin pumps, did not
promote any pleasurable thoughts.
They would in all truth kill him be-
fore they got through Hang the rug!
