DON 7 PULL OUT
The CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications Of a. Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color.

tPull 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 sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, ifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily 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 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, a aprep-
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 q difference a few
days treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and In
recommended and sold by alr druggists.

FROM MIR. AITCHISON.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 21, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian:
1t would be very ungrateful in me
not to acknowledge my appreciation
of the very efficient support the East
Oregonian is giving me. The press
generally has been very kind to me,
but few of the papers have been so
outspOken as the East Oregonian.
Besides the matters which you
mention as having been brought
about by the commission l might al
so call your attention to the fact that
the running of O.-W. r. & n. trains
Nos. / and to Pendleton is due to
an order made by this commission;
that we have prosecuted with vigor
the complaints of the wool growers
of eastern Oregon as to their trans
continental rates before the interstate
commerce commission, with some re-
suits accomplished and more in sight;
and to the fact that the rates in and
out of Pendleton (beside the Portland
rates which you mention) have been
cut very materially. The following
are illustrative:

1t is natural, no doubt, that all the
historic participants in the state print

task of exposing it, but it is more

will appreciate the want of Legitimate

not sharing his anxiety if the Portland

who have been in the habit of voting
the republican ticket is giving the re-
publican campaign managers great
concern, and in spite of their best eff
forts TO arouse them with talk of pos
sible free trade, in the event of a
democratic victory in November many
of these republicans refuse to become
interested in the campaign. They
take the view, according to the reports
received at headquarters, that the
country has grown big, and business
has become 50 vast and staple that it
can no longer be influenced to any
great extent by politics or the tariff"
The apathy" referred to is due
mainly TO the fact men of intelligence
know that the talk Of free trade and
the terrible calamities it will bring
is pure buncombe Free trade is i'm
possible in this country for the rea-
son an enormous amount of money
must be raised from the tariff to meet
governmental expenses. The only
free trade advocated by Governor
Wilson is that refeped to in the fol-
lowing section OF the democratic
platform: ARTICLES entering into COM
petition with trust controlled products
and artices Of American manufacture
which are sold abroad more cheaply
than at home should be put upon the
free list" It would not be calama-
tous to admit foreign goods free when
they come in competition with Amer
lean lines that are hopelessly within
the control of trusts. 1t would not in
jure this country to force the steel
trust, the harvester trust and other
trusts to sell their products as cheap
ly in America as abroad.

deaf ears this year. The danger OF
attack from that source was guarded
against by this section in the demo-

FROM THE PEOPLE
STATE PRINTING GRAFT.

Salem. Ore, Oct. 21,1912.
Editor East Oregonian.
The Sunday Oregonian prints a
news story assigning unsavory mo-
tives to my efforts to reduce tn esize
and cost of state reports. 1t is sug-
gested by the Oregonian story that /
am desirous of eliminating the list OF
warrants from the secretary of states
report in order to keep from publi-
cation the several warrants drawn in
my own behalf. On this same subject
the Oregonian Of June /, 1912, said:
IF Mr.. Harris can save the state
$1,000 by eliminating the list of war
rants in Mr.. Olcott's reports, he must
do so. Nobody cares to know who
gets the money, as the secretary OF
state safeguards its disbursement, and
$4,000 in one bunch is-well, some
kale'"
OF course everyone will readily
understand the last Sunday story was
merely to iiscredit my fight agains,
the state printing graft, and lacking
any better argument the big paper
deliberately resorts to character as
sassination.
The story is supplemented with an
interview by Foreman Case of the
state printing office to the effect that
dearth Of work for printers has
resulted from my reduction OF the re-
ports. Since my fellow printers well
know the purpose and purport Of this
trust the taxpayers Of Oregon will
take notice. -
No printer worthy Of the craft
would expect or condone any effort OF
mine to continue superfluous work
merely to give employment to print

Governor Wilson's own righ char
acter and ability also serve 20 offset
the rant about panics ana business
disaster. He holds radical views but
he has sense enough and skill enough
to apply them judiciously. He will
not throw the country into turmoil
for that would defeat his very pur-
pose. He knows that as the reign
os privilege has come on by degrees
so must the readjustment proceed
with some caution. All of Governor
Wilson's speeches show that aside
from having deep insight into our
economic situation and possessing
much moral courage he is also con-
structive statesman who will look
first of all to the welfare OF the coun-
try and the people. Governor Wilson
is the safest man in the presidential
race He is the safest because he is
the ablest, because most free from
entanglements; because he advocates
a program which looks to making our
prosperity more stable and more gen.

as a baked apple. For years he had
occupied the same corner near the big
bridge, sitting beside his chestnut
rooster. with a charcoal pail burning

This particular night must have
been colder than the others, for Lin

it was a wonder even his wooden leg
hadn't chilblains on It, the doctor in
Ward 9 laughingly told Nurse Alice

Alice went back to the new patient,

Doctor Meredith, and ten minutes lat

Using does pay and gives ample re-
turns for the money invested, but
the best we have come across
for some time is that of c. c. Keck.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Keck came to

TO have a 25c local telling Of the
fact that he had strawberry, rasp-
berry and blackberry plants for
sale. Mr.. Kecck was in the office
again yesterday and says that he
has sold $4,000 worth of these
plants and can show the deposit
slips for the checks TO prove it.
He sage every sale made to make
up that amount can be traced di-
recctly to that 25c local, and that
he is still making sales as a result
of it.

a pretty strong argument that peo-

Moses Cosgrove had been a widow
er for three years when he decided to
look around" There were three or
four widows whom he thought would
fill the bill but at length he settled
on Mrs. Hannah Lee In his own way
he figured that he had only to drive
over TO her farm and say that he had
decided to marry her, and the widow
and the farm would be his.
Moses must have heard that the
Widow Lee was a very obstinate
woman. In fact. she delighted in be-
ing obstinate She denied many ac-
cepted things just to differ from her
neighbors. She lamented the loss of
her husband but at the same time
she said he didn't amount to much
as man because he wouldn't argue
a point. If Moses had known his bust
ness as a sutton he would have
dropped in on the widow and said:
widow Lee, I have decided to get
married again, but I'll be hanged if
want you.
The widow at once would have
brought forward forty different rea-
sons why he did want her, and why
they should be married, and the cere-
mony might have come off in two
weeks. But Moses took the other
way. Mrs. Lee knew him for hard
working. successful farmer. and she
rather liked him, but his assurance

told a story about himself at a re-

The clergyman is a brother OF Bob

of the family handles many men at his
