Just few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray

While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive

Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does so naturally so
evenly You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and. after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft

SAYS HIGH LIVING COST
Is AN AID TO SUFFRAGE
Votes for Women Worker From
California Declares Men
Need Help

The most powerful agency working for
the suffrage movement, according to Miss
Helen Todd. Of California, who is in
this city for a short campaign, Is the
high cost OF living Woman suffrage will
come. she said today, for the reason that
the common worklngmen are finding II
more and more difficult to support the
women. The ten millions OF working
girls and women are increasing in num-
ber daily, she said. because OF the diff
ficulty Of men TO support families.
The average wage OF the working
women. according to the Federal Bureau
OF Industrial Relations, is Sc a week
This could be increased. said Miss Todd,
IL the women we're given The right to
control their working conditions by legis-
lation. She also spoke OF the advantages
gained by the women of California from
woman suffrage. good minimum wage
scale was obtained, an eight-hour day
and mothers pension of s14 a month. All
these things were a salvation to the
working women. Miss Todd said.
in the coming battle In Pennsylvania,
said Miss Todd, the suffragists have five
potent factors upon which they could rely
for support. These are the women's
clubs, the labor organizations. the aver
age thoughtful man, the high cost OF
living and the war That the war has
been a great boon to the suffrage doc
trine is proved by the way in which the
English and French women are taking
the mems places at home in the factories
and fields. Arrayed against the suffrage
forces are the politicians and all the
votes they control vice, the illiterate,
the money interests and wealthy classes.

little squirrel and he did not IN the least
approve OF Reds thieving and his sly
eating OF the birds eggs.
Better come and eat some OF these
good fresh nuts with me-" added Gray.
'and forget all about the eggst" And,
by way OF n hint. he ran up to the WE'LL
loaded branch OF the beech tree close
by and helped himself to a toothsomc
morsel
'of course these are not quite up TO
hickory nuts" he said coaxingly: "but
they are good eating none the less"
But would Red enjoy them? Not hei
OF course he ate some-he had to eat
but he didn't enjoy them, for he was con-
tinually thinking OF the birds eggs he
would like TO be eating.
Gray saw Just how Red was thinking
and remarked, IF were you, Red Squir-
rel, would enjoy what / could get in
stead OF thinking all the time about
what was impossible. Can't you learn
TO like nuts and let the poor birds keep
their sSgs7 Everybody would like you
better II sou did"
But greedy, thieving Red only shook
his head and ran away.
