A copy of Polonius Old Years advice

vanish, never TO- return. My legacy
to you is sadly disorganized world );
and l trust that you will faithfully
and better administer it than have I.
You will have many things to con-
tend with, but take them easy. A
menagerie, led by donkey, an ele-
phant and a bull moose will chase the
winged rooster of victory up and
down your days to the jaws of No.

peace missions they don't know what
to do with will try to settle a war
being fought for reasons no one has
discovered. Let them go. The Pan
anna canal may slide all over South
America and Colonel Gotheals' con-
versation will sound like a frequent
reference to the Gatun Dam. Let
him alone. Cupid may pretend to
no in
eugenics. Tell him that Europe
needs babies. Let the war dogs
chase their own tails until the peace
dove sheds some of it's court plaster.
Then cautiously look about and see
what you can do to fix things up.
Remember that styles, suffrage,
the tariff and sample mustaches you
have always with you. Do the best
yc'- can with all these things and
remember that however powerful and
able YOU feel in this your youth, on
the 365th day of your reign you will
be draggled and torn and stained, as
Tapping rags about your withered
legs. Your hand palsied, your step
halt, your eyes dim, you will die; and
the world will go on. So take it
easy, and don't get excited. If you
sigh for a place in the sun, let it be
a park bench on a summer afternoon.
Do these things in calm judgment and
you may accomplish more than you
expect.

Peace today depends upon the

til England and Germany come to an

ments have been made so often that
the United Press asked the censor to
pass this article to the outside world
what everyone here talks about.
During the last few weeks two
things became evident. England de-
clared that she will not make peace
until Belgium is evacuated. Ger
many is determined that Belgium will
not be given up until Germany is as
sured that it will not be political
or military ally of Great Britain's.
For several weeks I have asked
high officials what Germany is going
to do with Belgium. The answer
has been that not even the kaiser
knows. This undoubtedly is. true.
Much seems to depend upon the fu-
ture progress of the war.
Belgium is Question.
In Germany there are two parties
with regard to Belgium. One wishes
to keep Belgium. The other wants
to give it up. The line is not dis
tinctly drawn. Many think Ger
many should keep Antwerp and the
forts of Namur and Liege, or that
Germany should have the right to
garrison those fortresses. Others be-
lieve Germany should keep Antwerp
as an outlet to the channel for Ger
many. Others wish Germany to keep
all of Belgium, but this is considered
a minority.

GIRLS--DO YOU KNOW
Why YOUR HAIR

1t is astonishing how much good
looking hair does toward producing a
youthful appearance and still more
astonishing to realize how much the
attractiveness of the hair is affected by
the care we give it.
Loving care and frequent attention
are as necessary to keep a woman's
hair beautiful and luxuriant as is the
tooth brush to keep teeth from decay.
Every woman who values the beauty
of her hair as she ought to do should
make it never-broken habit to fire.
quently apply a little Parisian Sage,
rubbing it briskly into her scalp with
the finger tips.
Partisan Sage is Natures modern
handmade to beautiful feminine hair.
It is a simple, harmless compound of
wholesome, nutritious ingredients that
make an ideal lotion for nourishing
both hair and scalp. 1t feeds and
builds up the delicate hair and scalp
structures, making the hair soft. lus-
trous. brilliant and easy to dress and
arrange. II. C. Kennedy and many
other of our best druggists sell Pa
risian Sage and gladly recommend its
use.-AdV.
