BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair, Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair,

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-fve years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruf and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandrufT
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance OF
your hair after few days treatment.

CLEAN JOURNALISM.

Certain newspaper men are always
justifying their yellow sheets by the
excuse that the newspaper must of
fer the kind of news that the public
wants to buy.
While there is a germ of truth in
the above statement, it is often made
by men who give their readers dirt
because they like dirt themselves.
and think that everyone else does
In community like ours the great
majority of the people take their pa
pers home or have them sent to their
home address Even if they had a
sneaking preference for salacious di-
vorce cases, they do not care to have
their wives catch them reading it,
nor do they wish to have their chill
dren drinking the odorous stun.
No newspaper succeeds in com
munity liks ours unless it stands for
the maintenance of the American
home for pure and clean family life.
The other kind may get some circula-
ton among people who buy it to read
on trains and street cars. They are
ashamed to be seen with them, and
they make some excuse if caught at
it by friend. They throw them away
before leaving for home.
The trouble with such newspapers
as a business proposition, is that
they go into homes so little that their
advertising has but slight value No
paper can make a success on sales
alone
In a community like ours the public
demands that newspaper shall stand
for law and order and clean living,
Newspapers in which offences against
these standards are lightly treated
and lavishly emphasized offend against
the settled conviction of our people,
All this does not mean that news
paper cannot print the details of
crime. A true record of the worlds
doings must contain many black
pages. T#
The newspaper man soon gives him
self away by the needless emphasis he
gives to the dark sides of life. When
he can find but few paragraphs for
some great political speech, and when
he spreads the smutty divorce case
into columns, you can know where
his heart really is.

sands who witnessed the wonderful
spectacle presented by the destruction
of the fine new plant of the Stewart
Vehicle Company, or exclaimed with
awe at its alternating sombre and bril-
liant grandeur, but knew that vast
sum of money was being licked Up
by the flames because there were no
adequate means at hand for success
fully combating the onrush of the fire.
That was fact apparent to even
the awed children who stood about
and watched good money go up in
smoke.
1t has been repeatedly said that
Martinsburg is at the mercy of any
fire that cannot be covered at ONCE
by the firemen; that if our boys fail to
as may be said, get the drop" at the

result.
The destruction of the Stewart We
hiele plant was a striking and forcible
illustration of just what has been for
years in the minds of every person
who knows the situation here. Never
fire of however small proportions
but that one hears Sometime We'll get
caught; the tiremen have been able
to prevent it thus far, but we'll not
always be SO lucky"
These comments We're inspired sole
ly because our people have known
that the ffremen lacked adequate fac
ilities with which to fight fires. We
were finally caught just as has been
predicted for years; and it must be
remembered, when the story of the
work of the firemen is told, that they
had the valuable assistance of the
Kilbourne people, which is only avail
able at a fire in the neighborhood of
that plant
But because these conditions have
obtained in the past is no reason why
they should continue They offer the
strongest arguments in themselves for
better conditions in the future 1t
matters very little now who, or why,
or what is responsible for the past
dereliction in an obvious duty. The
thing to do now is to remedy these
conditions. and to place our fire fight
ers in a position to render the service
every one seems to expect when the
occasion demands hard, risky, and
often thankless work.
The fremen-the men who do the
work without expectation or nope Of
reward other than a CONSCIOUSNESS of
duty we'll done-ask the people Of the
city-the public officials, the business
men, the professional men-the prop
erty owners with thousands at stake
to help them achieve an aim that will
enable them dhe iiremem to render
better service.
1t remains to be seen whether the
lesson of the fire at the vehicle plant
has been we'll learned, or whether
our progressive and alert to
their own and the community's in
terests in most things will dismiss
it with a shrug.
The Evening Journal has more con
fdence in the horse sense of the peo-
pie than to believe that conditions
will be allowed to remain as they
are.
