DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color,

'fPull out one gray hair and dozen

which Is, to a great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is a sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Nature 8
call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned Usage
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 stinnulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.

er than | wished her to. She foresaw
what was coming, with her deep
knowledge of human nature and thor
ough political training. She read the
actors like a book.
Il well remember one night when
she made this remark, and it was COM
paratively early in the game. Looking
earnestly at me she said, calling me
by name:
AT first | called this prosecution,
then | called it persecution, but now |
name it crucifixion, and that is what
they mean.

rection if it came. d.
The truest, even OF ones best
friends, under the circumstances and
knowing nothing OF the facts, could not
have expected to Withstand it. That it
was physically withstood was beyond
either the expectation or the intention.

N1artyrdOrn of Clara Barton

Los Angeles, April 3O.-More light
upon the martyrdom suffered by Clara
Barton, founder of the Red Cross, as
the result of alleged political intrigue
as well as the social ambitions of
certain Washington women, which
forced her from the presidency
and led to congressional investigation,
is shed in letters written by the great
war nurse to Professor c. S. Young OF
Redondo Beach and given out by him
yesterday.
This posthumOus answer of Miss
Barton to her detractors and a hint of
the heavy load of injustice she had en-
dured for the sake of peace and the
good of the Red Cross, caused ire
mendous impression in the east and
especially in Washington.
The additional letters now made
public by Mr.. Young tend further to il
lumine the subject and to accentuate
the patience she manifested under
oppression.
When she had been importuned 10
speak 10 President Tart about the can
didacy of a friend for a certain posi-
ton she wrote:
There has never been an occasion
nor time when | have so missed my
old-time privilege OF speaking a word
in behalf of a friend. / never before
have so fully realized what a pleasure
that privilege had been to me through
half a century.

President Taft personally, for | am of
small importance to him, if he ever
knew-but from the advice he would
be sure to receive from those he does
know. So wait and hope"
Oct. 3, 1911, when | visited her
in her home at Oxford, Mass, she
made use of the following language:

the surplus butter from the bottom. In
taking the butter from the printer
place the thumbs on top Of the handle

down hard. Pressing down bulges the
print Of butter at the sides.
Wrap the print neatly in good parch-
ment paper which has been previously
wet in clear cold water Good paper
should be clear in color. fairly heavy
and tougher when wet than dry. 1t
is the right thing to have printed OH
the paper the name of the farm or
the maker but it must be done with
the proper ink or it stains the butter.
This trademark is often the means
of securing choice trade. A little
printers ink used in the right place
brings in good interest. Have OH
hand some plain paper in case churn
ing is below standard. Sell it for what
it is worth. but risk not your reputa-
ton by putting inferior butter up in
your printed wrappers.
Be sure the print of butter weighs at
least sixteen and quarter ounces
when freshly wrapped in the wet paper.
At each churning it is we'll to weigh
print. A slight allowance must al
ways be made for evaporation.
Keep the butter in place where
the atmosphere is cool. clean and not
toe dry. If the place is dry the mois'
ture rapidly evaporates, lessening the
weight and bringing the salt to the
surface, where it crystallizes and gives
the butter a poor appearance.
