The Years End

We come to the end of the year
with cost of living decidedly below
the mid-August peak, money easier,
business better. On the material side
we have fairly digested the war shock
and adjusted ourselves to the big
change it caused in trade currents.
From being a thing of incalculable
potentialities it has become a factor
the effect of which, for the time be-
ing, we can count on with consider
able assurance. We again have that
tolerably stable outlook which is es-
sential to business progress. There
Is better feeling and we are on
better terms with ourselves.
Probably there will be no more ex-
perimental legislation for an indefinite
period The November elections, by
reestablishing a fairly even balance
between the two big parties, tend to
put politics on its best behavior.
On the largest view, confidence has
been deeply wounded because civiliz-

stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry. scraggly and thin. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at

easier way is to get the ready-to.use
tonic, costing about so cents large

While wispy. gray. faded hair is
not sinful. we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attrac-

with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur. no
one can tell, because it does so nat

a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking

The Water Project.

While opposition exists in certain
quarters to the project of securing
free of cost from the government, a
watershed for the use of the cities
of this county the city Of Seattle
has directed the mayor to make i'm
mediate application for such purpose.
A mistaken apprehension seems to
exist in Chehalis county concerning
the proposition now up to the peo-
ple-or will soon be up to them. The
Herald's understanding of the propo-
sitiOn is that we may now secure,
free of cost, a water right and shed
sufficient to protect it, that will prove
of immense value to the coming
large city on Grays Harbor. That
no obligation is assumed to build a
system at any specified time, but that
it secures the site now for future
use, when the necessity for that use
will exist.
1t may be that it was a mistake to
cover as much territory as the pres
ent plan does. 1t may have been
wise to have confined the project to
Grays Harbor, including Aberdeen,
Hoquiam and Cosmopolis, and. should
the project fail now, there is small
doubt that it will be revived along
these lines.

its continuance the torture was increaS

being passed between the legs and

until they began to bleed.

Youth is to all the glad season

what it escapes.-Carlyle.
The morning of life is like the
dawn Of day. full Of purity. Of
imagery and harmony.-Chateau-

As l approve Of a youth that
has something of the old man
In him, so am no less pleased
with an old man that has some
thing Of the youth. He that fol-
lows this rule may be old in
body, but can never be so in
mind.-Ciccro.
The foreground CT human life
is the only part OF it which we
can examine With real exact
ness.-Froude.
There Is a feeling Of eternity
IN youth which makes amends
'5r everything. To be young Is
