AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and Glossy,

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color AMI
lustre to the hair when faded, streakeI
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is mus
sy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large boz,
tie for about so cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Hooks Phar-

Christianity and War.

The sudden flaming forth Of the war madness in
Europe will again raise the question. often discussed
before why it is that great nations which acknowl-
edge their allegiance to the Christian religion ap
near TO be absolutely unn1uenced by its teachings.
War is contrary TO the fundamental ideals of Chris
tianity. which was first proclaimed as a religion
of peace and good will among men and whose
teachings look to the ultimate gathering together
of all mankind in one great human brotherhood
ruled by love. Yet the leading Christian nations
Of the world are preparing to fly at each others
threats Just as their remote ancestors, the cave
men, might havs done. Is not this fact it may be
asked serious indictment of Christianity?
The answer is that the indictment lies not so
much against Christianity against those who
profess TO accept its teachings and don't even pre-
tend TO live up to those teachings in their daily
lives Not only in the matter Of war, but in hun
dreds of other matters, people are every day doing
things forbidden by the religious creed they pro-
fesS and this fact proves not that their creed is
bad or futile, but that average humanity has not
yet reached the point where it can obey Christian
teachings. As a matter of fact, Christianity has
never yet had fair trial in the world. Its nobest
ideasms have always had to be more or less
diluted in order TO make them acceptable to
humanity in the rough.
Nevertheless it would imply very shallow
judgment TO assert that Christianity has had no
influence even in the case Of war. Who shall say
that majority of civilized men and women in the
world to-day are not opposed to war? They have
no way Of expressing themselves they do not sit
in the seats of the mighty. But they are quietly
registering their judgment against as a crime
against humanity. And some day when there shall
be ushered in the era OF "sweeter manners, purer
laws foretold by the poet the verdict of these
plain people will be respected and obeyed by those
who will then rule the destinies of the world

The SamenesS of America.

A standardized continent is the cherries name
by which correspondent Of The London Times
describes America. Loving such local color and
variegated life as we have, we may not like to
accept this view of our monotony Yet, as the
the indictment.
The straw hat convention is cited as a symbol
of many customs. In climate and scenery we
have as abrupt changes as any land you could
name But the human made part Of America is
largely cut on pattern. Take our big cities,
for example The main street Of one is amazingly
like every other Buildings, shops, teams, the
average business man, the clothes he wears, the
food ne eats. the motor he drives all seem curl
ously standardized"
The point as to food is particularly well taken.
Every traveller about America is disappointed at
the decline in local dishes once famous Wher-
ever you roam, from the Parker House, in Boston,

is not so much to cook few local dishes well as

The food is not bad. II is steadily getting better
The very uniformity makes for certain kind Of
efficiency and economy. But the loss in interest
and variety is unquestioned.
All the factors which contribute toward our
national Standardization are noted in "The Lon
don Times" There is the mail order house, feed
ing, clothing and decorating a million households
out Of one book. There is our wonderful large
scale production so perfectly typifeG in the Ford

Legal Education by Wholesale.

The Chelsea Ncighborhood Association i'm
pressed with the dense ignorance among even the
most intelligent Of us laymcn concerning the laws
which govern our activities, has begun campaign
for their publication in simple, idomatic English
To this end 1t has written TO Mayor Mitchell prais'
ing the administration for the publicity recently
accorded health tenement house and fire regula
tions and recommending that similar publicity be
given to all the laws governing persons.
The only soul who could do aught but applaud
such a move would he the petty lawyer, jealous OF
his victims, or the manufacturer or storckeeper
who imposes on his employees The laws which
the Chelsea Neghborhood Association would like

sonal rights marriage the relations of parent and
child and Of master and apprentice with wills
mortgages and leases. the educational rights of
children. the hours of labor Of and children
and. finally, those contained in the Penal Code
When one considers how large a fraction Of q
population like New York's gets into conflict with
the law every year simply through ignorance Of its
provisions. it seems rather astounding that such n
campaign of education has not been in progress
for a generation.

HINMAN AND FUSION =,
Views of the State Press on
Ex-Senator's Candidacy.

A certain section of the state press
is suffering from Hinmanphobia. The
editors of these newspapers do not
know what to say against Harvey D..
Human, so they have fallen back on
plain abuse of him and accuse him OF
trying to turn the Republican party
over to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
The Republican voters will take care
of that issue. They find IL more and
more agreeable to think of an effective
union Of all good citizens, led by Mr..
Human, who will draw 10 his support
independents from all other parties.
Those afraid of q Republican victory
under such auspices and afraid Of A
thorough housekeeping at Albany aud
all through the states service, OF course
have a right to indulge in Hinmanpho-
bia. We hope they will enjoy II while
/ it lasts. The symptoms are distress
ing. but they only harm the patients
and will not do the cause OF Mr.. Hin
man a bit of hsrm.-Binghamton Re-
publican
All this while, no one has risen up
TO saw or even to suggest that there is
ANYTHING about Senator Humans rec
ord as a legislator at Albany, or about
his honor, or his ability which can be
found fault with consistently. He does
not have TO say now that ne is opposed
IN the Barnes machine because every
bodv knows he stood with Hughes IN
opposition to it and fought il tooth and
nail some years ago, and there IS no
indication. for a minute, he has since
changed his attitude. The organs and
orators of both the Republicans and
Progressives have been declaring foi
months with great vehemence that the
conditions at Albany are terrible, that
craft and corruption are rampant ana
That what is needed more than any.

housecleaning is the word most ire

ton OF littleness and selhshness. II is
putting partisanship before patriotism.

WHAT is JAPAN'S ATTITUDE?
Correspondent Thinks She May Have
Direct Interest in European War.

Sir: In all the discussion IN the

of the allied armies and nsvies that
will face each other in the event OF the
breaking out of the general European
war which threatens, no mention, so
far as | have seen, has been made con-
corning the attitude of Japan. Under
the provisions of her offensive and de-
fensive alliance with England, If Eng
land becomes involved in war with two
other powers Japan must come to her
aid III Japan holds true to her treaty
obligations the Triple Entente would
be materially strengthened and she
would be lighting side by side With her
late bitter enemy, Russia. But the
question is, viii she remain true to
her word or will she seize this OPP

Far East, outside of herself, are oceu-
pied in Europe, TO make herself su-

A QUESTION FROM CONNECTICUT
What, Specifically, Are the Wrong
doings Of Mr.. Barnes?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | would like to ask you 70
specify some of the wrongdoings Of
Mr.. Barnes, the state chairman of the
Republican party of New York State.
You say that Mr.. Human is the most
manly man. You seem to be Hades
bent on putting your influence on the
side of that political Judas, 1. Roose-
welt. You also say that Mr.. Hinman
is a disciple of Ex-Governor Hughes
and that he stands for everything that
is right in politics. Well, he has made
a great start when he ties himself to
the tail of T. Roosevelt's kite.
T. R., with his big stick, drove the
nomination away from Governor
Hughes. He connived and took the
state craftsmanship from Benjamin
Odell. and every piece of Republican
Presidential timber he used all his in
nuence to get out Of the way so he
could get the nomination for a third
term. which he said he would not take.
Oh. | sometimes think that he, I. r.,
must be a very close relative to George
Washington Well, 7. Roosevelt drove
the Republican party out of business;
he elected Wilson; and now he has the
gall to say that Republicans, who have
helped make this country what it is,
are unworthy of notice or trust and
that he should be consulted by the Re-
publican party And he stands up and
says: 80 Lord, | thank Thee / am
not az other men, Please pass the
nrunes! Now, these are some of the
things that T. r. has done. Tell US
something that Mr. Barnes has done.
The thing for the Republicans in New
York State to do is 70 elect Repub-
lican Congress. this fall and tie the
hands of that apology for statesman
in. the White House; then, in 1916, we
will take care of t. r. JAY.
