were ready to take the consequences.
There was one. exception to this
band Of patriots. He was John Joach-

had settled in Georgia. Zubly was
not only prominent as a scholar and
a statesman, but was a preacher as

So patriotic was he that Georgia
chose him as one of it's Ave delegates
to congress in 1775. There he worked
hard for the peoples cause and even
drew up petition to King George Ill.
upon the present unhappy situation
of affairs" Altogether, he was look
ed upon as an ardent patriot. Indeed.
it is hard to understand the sudden
and terrible change in the man.
AS soon as Zubly found congress-
was determined to adopt the Declare
ton he fought the proposition most
bitterly and utterly refused any part
in it, He denounced the idea of a
republic and did everything in his
power TO stem the tide of opinion.
Had this been all he did no great
shame need to have been attached to
him. But he was not content with
refusing to vote for the Declaration.
He actually entered into secret cor
respOndence with the enemy, betray-
ing to the British the patriots private
plans and giving warning that the

went at once to Georgia. There, ut

YOUR CRAY HAIRS

A Harmless Remedy Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accornpanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome 1t may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
Cooking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in a few days time I?

den sage acts as q color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers

had trusted. He OOF1IS ZOOL
was a patriot who suddenly turned
traitor at a time when America and
liberty needed every true mans aid.
The colonies had long groaned un-
rose against England, in 1775, it was
less with an idea of breaking loose
from the mother country than of show
ing resentment by force of arms where
argument and appeal had failed. They
simply wished to bring England to her
senses and to obtain relief from in
justice. Even George Washington
in later years confessed: The idea
of independence was at first abhor-
rent to me-"
But soon he and all the rest of the
patriots realized that the time for
halfway measures had passed. There
must be either dumb submission OF
open defiance. And, should they choose
defiance. they must free the colonies
wholly from the British yoke and de
clare our country free and independ
ent.
1t was to discuss this that the con
| tinental congress met at Philadelphia
! in 1875.
! We are apt to think that congrest
was a collection of ardent patriots, pant
| ing for liberty at any price. This
was not wholly true. While the ma

! balk at so rash a step.
Nor can they be severely blamed
| for hesitating. They were men o
property and importance. They haC
more to lose than had most Ameri
! cans. Should the Revolution fail thei
| goods would doubtless be seized b!
the British government and they them
| selves would be hanged. AS Benja
min Franklin said, in grim jest:
We must hang together or vel
hang separately"
But, to their eternal credit, thes
wary delegates at last yielded to tn,
popular voice. The Declaration OF In
dependence was drawn up. and OF
July 4, 1916. was adopted (althougl
