JUNIOR COLLEGES DISCUSSED.
Annual Conference of M. e. Church,
South, Favors Recognition.

Nashville.-The question of estab-
fishing, or rather favoring the estab-
lishment of Junior colleges" was the
feature of the first days session of the
annual educational conference of the
M. e. Church, South, which met here.
The issue rested on three points.
Whether such institutions be favored;
how much of it should be elective;
what they require Of students for adj
mission to the first college class;
what teaching force should be required
of them; should junior colleges give de-
grees. There were addresses and pa
pers on the subject by H. E. Stout,
Howard Payne College, Missouri; DR..
Eugene Blake, Hiwano College, East
Tennessee; DR.. R. H. Alderman, West
Virginia; President w. A. Newell
Weaver College; DR. C. NJ Bishop
Southwestern University of Texas and
Miss Mary N. Moore, Athens College,
Athens, Ala.
After the discussion, the conference
decided by vote that the Junior col
lege" should be recognized rather than
favored outright. Some fear was ex-
pressed that students who attended
such institutions would never go into
the senior colleges, and in this way the
latter would be injured.
The conference elected the following
officers: President, H. H. Boaz, Presby-
terrain College, Fort Worth, Texas;
vice president, w. T. Wynne. Martin
College, Pulaski, Tenn. Stonewall An
derson is general secretary of the edu-
cational conference.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t 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 a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Napoleon,s Vain Struuule

One hundred years ago the Emperor
Napoleon, after having fought three
battles with the allies in three sue
cessive days, met Butcher himself at
Vauchamps, and, after keenly fought
engagement, drove the invaders back
with considerable loss. BY the four
engagements with the Silesian army,
fought between February 10 and Feb
ruary IA, Napoleon gained $4,000 pris-
oners, whom he at once sent to Paris
in order to raise the depressed spir-
it's of the populace. In that, however,
he only succeeded imperfectly, for
while Butcher was temporarily held
in check Prince Schwartzenberg adj
vanced up the Seine toward Paris, and
the Russians under the Emperor Alex
ander were likewise pressing steadily
forward with the French capital as
their objective.

deputy sheriff and clerk in the office
of q. N. Estes, Encouragement, were
from the resorts in the segregated dis
trict, according to Mr.. Wilroy. Vir-
tually every house there has ridded
itself of suspicion of engaging in the
sale of intoxicants. All had declared
their intention of quitting the sale of
Intoxicating beverages and their move
bears out the assertion. A number OF
saloons are keeping open, however,
and are serving soft drinks.
