IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray,
Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of 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
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so 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 1t darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair. taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant-Adv.

~ dent Wilson for Governor of
Pennsylvania, has been throw
ing out his chest and uttering chal-
lenges to DR.. Brumbaugh, his distin-
guished rival for gubernatorial honors,
to declare his attitude toward Senator
Penrose. 1t hasn't occurred to the
noisy young man from this county to
declare himself on Finn and Finnish,
albeit he has been asked in more ways
than one to state his attitude toward
the boss of the Bull Moose remnant.
Mccormick is now urgips the voters
to write to the Republican nominee
and ask him to declare where he
stands. 1t would be more to the point
for these voters to call upon the am
bilious and fussy choice of the Demo-
cratic machine to declare himself re-
garding the adroit boss of the Wash
ington party who was clever enough
to transfer his right, title and interest
in the ProgressiEe organization to the
multi millionaire candidate of the
Palmer Mccormick combination,
thereby relieving himself of all worry
over the expense of the campaign.
Finn sold Mccormick a fine gold
brick and his opinion of Finn and
Finnish ought to be interesting and

National Banks with boarding money

loose reelection upon the banking in

ton. But still not content to keep
his fingers out of the fire he comes
back with an indefinite statement that
individuals and corporations are

Now he appears in the role of an
important government official aiding
his native Tennessee at the expense
of the banks of the North. Secretary

THEN AND NOW

q BOUT this time two years ago
"A the Democratic orators and
= newspapers were assuring the
people of a reduction in the
high cost of living, unexampled pros
perity and all the good things of life,
if the aforesaid people would only
place the Democracy in power at
Washington. Something was bound
to happen in the event of this trans
fer of control from the Republican
party to it's chief rival, and it hap
pened. But not what was promised.
Instead of the high cost of living being
reduced, the cost was increased; in
stead of a greater prosperity, difficult
ties and embarrassments and the over
turn of industrial and commercial
conditions quickly followed.
Now come the same orators and
newspapers with still more promises
of what they will do in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere if the people will only
give them the power. Right here in
our own State are two personally Sc
lected candidates of Woodrow Wilson,
and the whole issue is an endorsement
of the Wilson policies through Palmer
and Mccormick. They are even now
snarling because their Progressive
allies under an infamous fusion deal
|are denouncing Wilson from the
stump.
It's a fine kettle of fish and how
such a hybrid combination can hope
to further deceive the voters of Penn
sylvania is beyond the ken of the or
dinary man.
Day after day these two hand
picked candidates of a Democratic
machine tramp up and down the
State abusing and misrepresenting
better men, clamoring for power, yell
ing for reform" of their own brand,
attacking the State administration and
doing everything they can to assure
their own election to offices for which
they are absolutely without qualifica-
tions.
But the swinging of the pendulum
is back toward sanity and decency and
fair play. The era of hysterical ar
raignment of old and proved things
for alleged reform and new things is
rapidly passing away.
Pennsylvanians and all other citi-
zens of the United States are tired of
the day of the little man. He has had
his inning and the period of four
flushing and insincerity is at an end.
We believe the voters of this State are
going to register such a protest on the
third of November as will cast aside
for a generation the methods of the
high-binders in politics who have at
last been revealed in their true colors
before the Commonwealth.
