again using it 10 keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sen
sible, as we are liI ing in an age
when a youthful appearance is of
the greatest advantage
Nowadays. though, We don't nave
the troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing at
home. All drug stores sell the
roady-to-use product called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy for
about 30 cents bottle. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discov
er it has been applied, Simply mois-
ten your comb or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair disappears
but what delights the ladies with
Wycth's Sage and sulphur is that
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft mstre and appear
ance which is so attractive; be-
sides, prevents dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair.

Some time ago little Willie hns-

great happiness, and lost no time in
seeking his mother
Say, mother" he exclaimed, with
no small measure OF pride, "the
teacher asked a question today and

could answer it.
That's nice" was the delighted
response of mamma, who knew that
Willie wasn't standing ace-high in

AkED RESIGNATION REFUSED
Frisco Church Federation Votes to
Retain President

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 19.-By
a vote of n TO 19 the San Francisco
Church Federation has refused 10
accept the resignation of the Rev.
Charles F. Aked pastor of the First
Congregational church, as president
of the organization. DR.. Aked had
been criticised by members of the
federation for saying, in a sermon,
he did not adhere to the orthodox
belief regarding the virgin birth of
Christ DR.. Aked announced several
days ago he would resign the presi-
dency.
The minority of ninetc en- made d
determined fight to have DR. Akeds
resignation accepted and announced
after the vote they would continue
their efforts to oust him.
Dr. Aked appeared personally be-
fore the federation, stated his posi-
tion and reasons for not accepting
the belief in the virgin birth and
then rendered his resignation as
president.
The sermon which aroused criti-
cism of the minister was preached
three weeks ago. DR.. Aked said
there was nothing in the writings
of number of the Apostles to sup
port the theory of the virgin birth
of Christ and that some years ago,
while pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church in New York City, he
had announced his disbelief in the
theory.
