mess will come up for discussion, in
cluding parcels post and its probable
effect on the trade.

men who fail to tell the public the
truth regarding their goods.

dent of the Ad club, will be one of
the features of the meeting. Mr..
Clark is scheduled to make his ad-
dress at today's afternoon session.

would give them an opportunity tC
send parcels into any section of the
country for the same charge Such
a condition would work to the detri
ment of our small merchants anC
should not be tolerated"

TRY It! SAYS sage TEA DARkEhS
AND BEAUTflES FACED, GRAY HAIR

product called 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" for about 50
cents a bottle. 1t is the most popu
lar because nobody can discover it
has been applied. Simply dampen
a soft brush or sponge with "Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur" and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. Do this tonight,
and by morning the gray hair disap
pears and after another application
it is restored to its natural color
What delights the ladies with Wy
eth's Sage and sulphur is that besides
beautifully darkening the hair they
say it produces that soft lustre and
appearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair. Here,
YOU gray-haired folks, get busy,

WOULD REPEAL LAW TO
BIND OUT" CHILDREN

Salem, Ore.-Did you know that
under the laws of Oregon II is still
legal to bind out" children until they
become 81 years of age?
Though slavery never was an in
stitution in Oregon, the modified
slavery of apprenticing children was
legalized in two laws passed in terri
torial days of 1853, and never re-
pealed. If a man were to bind out
his children to another in Oregon
he would have perfect right to dc
so.
To repeal these laws and get them
off the statute books, is the purpose
of bill to be introduced in the house
by Representative Gill of Clackamas
county Mr. Gill says he desires tt
make it forever impossible to have
'bound" children in Oregon.
