Life History Of Lewis, Georgia Man.

Life History of Lewis, Georgia Man
Chicago, March 27.-Way back in
tie late SOS there drifted from Savan-
nah, Ga, to Seattle, Wash, a young
nan by the name of Lewis-James
Hamilton Lewis He had drifted from
Augusta, Ga, his birthplace to Savan-
nah. The drifting then was good, Tor
Savannah stands on the bank of the
river of that name, as does Augusta.
The boats in those days were not much
to look nor to ride on, when COM
pared with those of today, but thcy
beat walking. Young Lewis was then
but boy, and would have walked il
had it not been foE the boat, because
train fare was too high. He drifted
along in Savannah for a few years.

Seattle There was no more drifting,
1t was against the current after that,
a long, hard fight up stream.
Today the young man who quit
drifting was elected to the United
States senate from Illinois. He was
the choice of the people of his state,
as voiced overwhelmingly in a pop,l-
lar primary, and ratified after a deal
lock Ct weeks by the legislature.
The career of James Hamilton Lew
is has been eventful and striking
Back in those early days in Savannah
he had nothing but ambition; that and
an ability that enabled him to CRAFTY
it. Eat aas it? Is Lewis the sort
o. n dn q he content now that he has
reached the senate of the United
States? There are higher posts II
this government. Lewis has no mean
idea Of his own ability, nor have the
people. And they doubtless will hear
from him. He is not the man to re,
main silent and passive in the senate.
The Savannah Lewis was not taken
seriously, except by himself and few
who knew him best Jim Ham" he was

young lawyer, a recent graduate Of

by DR.. Calisch.

Shabuoth. The Feast Of weeks,
also called The Feast OF the First.
Fruits" falls. according to the Jewish
calendar, on the 9Th of the Swan It's
name is derived from the seven weeks
which elapsed between the departure
OF the children OF Israel from Egypt
and their arrival at Mt Sinai. Like Its
companion holiday, the Feast OF Pass
over, It, too, has both an agricultural
and a historical aspect. This was the
early harvest season, when the first of
the wheat. baked in two loaves of
bread. was brought as an offering of
gratitude. and as a token of mans de-
pendence upon the goodness OF Cod
Historically, it carries one back in
memory TO the PRONUNCIATION of the
| Ten Commandments. when Israel ac-
copied the new moral code and religious
! legislation. and was aroused for the
| first time to the consciousness Of his
new spiritual task and destiny The
Ten Commandments were the Magma
Charta Of religion.
| Shabuoth has gained a stronger and
a more impressive hold to-day by en-
twininE its symbolism about the i'm
questionable child. Confirmation" is
the youths feast OF self-consecration.
Shabuoth has distinctly modern and
indispensable appeal to the Individual.
1t teaches first of all. that religion. as
necessity OF life. is the actuating mo-
tive and sanction of personal, social
and national character. Secondly, it
champions the cause OF religious free
dom as the most highly priced privi-
| lege and possession of the human race.

Picturesque Costumes No Longer Worn in Capital

f INTEREST in the personnel of the \ diplomatic corps is revived as the autumn advances and diplomats re turn from their summer outings.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look oldi Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and 5eautify Gray,
 Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with brew O. Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get 8 large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known druggist says every body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an- other application or two, it is re- stored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.
