CHAPTER *.
On the Road,

The general never went anywhere
without well.stocked library. guide.
books. instruction books. maps. All
were consulted long and often. and
with childlike faith that Hcnrietta's
sarcasm and the sign. posts had not
been able to shake.
Bartlett knew OF this unfortunate
tendency OF the generals and resolved
TO get rid OF those books and maps and
papers. with every mile Indicated
and nicely tabulatcd. every turn and
landmark mentioned. II would be aI.
most impossible TO get of the beaten
route. and they must avoid telegraph
stations and post Offices as much as
possible. The success OF the scheme
lay in keeping Bachelor away from
all touch and communication with tho
city. They must. II possible. get lost.
The state herald., 1915-02-26

and with the multitudinous boon and
maps they would not be able to. There
fore, they must get rid of the books
and maps.
When they had separated to pre-
pare for the trip, Bartlett returned
hastily to the garage. No one was In
sight except strange chauffeur loung-
ing in the doorway. Bartlett collected
all the literature from the generals
car and hastened back to the hotel.
Surreptitiously. he entered an empty
room near the one assigned to him and
when he emerged again. his arms
were burdenless and he was smiling
gently.
They waited for the Watermelon On
the porch. intending to have an early
supper and start while 1t was still
light Bartlett greeted the returning
youth with relief and led the way to
the dining.room. He mentioned a
small village some thirty miles to the
north. where they could find accom-
modations for the night in an old
farmhouse.
Friends Of mine," said he. II go
there every fall"
The general rose to get his blue
book. I'VE will look 1t up" said he.
Bartlett stopped him. The town was
not in the book. He knew. for he had
tried to find it.

mer years, but now more common. We quote from
an editorial in recent number of the Democrat
which he proclams his position the saloon ques-
ton The Echo congratulates Pontiac on having
man in her borders who has the to take the
stand this Democratic Editor does in the following
declaration:
There is no use to disguise or sdestep the tact,
the essential fight iii local and state politics is the
loon issue 1t cannot be said that the editor a ia
matte on that question: for he believes III the demo
cratic principle of the rule of the people, ie if the
people want saloons they should have them AMI just
as strongly that they should have the right abolish
them if they wish to do So and that will should be
carried into effect without let hindrance for the
impartial enforcement of the law.
Furthermore the editor believes that the issue
should be kept out and apart from democratic prn-
cipes that the people may decide the question with
party lines AMI a separate issue. But the pow
erul saloon organization IS not content with this 1t
seeks and does dominate and make terms with the
leaders of the possible ascendant parties, and it is
brazenly and openly in control Of the Demo
cratic party than the Republican party with whom at
the time it is in covert league.
The saloon organization is the most powerful
force in American politics. 1t in politics every day
in the year, while the good people aroused in an
evangestic way only around election time That is
possibly one reason why the saloons de1y the oun-
day closing law that they may not forget any chance
of playing their favorite recreation game Of politics.
So powerful is this organization that public officers,
in most qualities otherwise unimpeachabe bow down
and truckle before the shrine of this orgy in politics.
1t is unquestionably the most degrading special in
terest in politics that we have And the editor Of the
Democrat naturally insurges against the design of his
party being made the tool of any special interest and
emphatcaly against special interest which tends
to be destructive of public morals and community
welfare
The only chance the Democratic party has toT
continued and permanent success IS the convincing
appeal of its principles the independent judgment
of the electorate. The editor cannot expect this
dependent decision from others and not exercise the
same independence of conviction himself. Fully
scious of the fact that he is inviting upon himself the
wrath and opposition of powerful influences in his
own party, the editor urgently calls all good Dem
ocrats and citizens to sustain him in his stand.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, iifeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for 30 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. BeS.~cs, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall- ing hair. You just dampen a sponge 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 de lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that. besides beauti fully darkening the hair after few 8 applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertis ment.
