TO DARKEN HAIR

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu-
RANT, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just few applications will prove a
revelation If your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about so cents a large bottle at drug
stores known as "Wyeths Sage and
S-lphur Compound" thus avoiding d
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your nair with
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 a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and. after an
other application or two, your hair be-

A .ssgion Of people have used S. s. S. and

This disease OF the blood is little under

scarcely two people having 1t exactly alike.
And yet, no matter what its form or how
painful and distressing, S. S. S. seems to
have almost divine influence in driving 1t
out, releasing the nerves from pain and clear
ing the joints and muscles so they work with
out restraint. The best explanation for this
happy result is the fact that in S. S. s. are
certain ingredients which act as an antidote
They are natures providence to man.
Just as the meats, fats, salts and sugars of
our daily food provide us with nourishment.
so does S. S. S. give to the blood the exact

drive out impurities and reconstruct the

DAVID AND GOLIATH PROVE 1T
By William T. Ellis

AS always, when unfamiliar war
bursts upon its gaze, civilization cries
out aghast. why, these soldiers are
only boys" 1t has never been other
wise; all the great wars have been be-
gun by armies of youth. Youth is the
fighting time. The hot blood of early
manhood is heroic; it dreams and it
dares. If the supply of young hearts
should fail, there would be no wars
'waged against heavy odds of oppres-
sion, injustice and poverty. Was there
ever great reformer who did not be-
come such in the days of youth? Men
and women past middle life are not
enlisted anew in any of the mighty
battles for God and humanity.
No; it needs a boy David to run
jauntly-actually to run-toward the
heavily armed giant who approaches.
The hearts of veteran soldiers turn to
water before the taunts of Goliath;
but David is but quickened for the
struggle; and he gives word of faith
for every heather taunt. With the
story of David and Jonathan before us,
and with all history supporting 1t, the
marvel is that so many of the causes
which call for heroism do not make
their appeal to the colleges, the young
peoples societies, the Sunday schools,
instead of wasting time cultivating the
favor of the established and the great.
President Wilson recently said, with
characteristic courage, when pleading
for the education of southern noun
taineers, 1T is very amusing some
times to see the airs that high society
gives itself. The world could dispense
with high society and never miss it.
High society is for those who have
stopped working and no longer have
anything important to do"
Before we go into the days lesson
upon David and Goliath, let us get a
real grip upon this underlying truth,
that youth is the time of heroisms.
Then it is that courage is greatest,
patriotism is purest, ideals are knight
liest and religion is most genuine and
natural. Every person of advancing
years needs to fear, even more than he
fears the hardening of his arteries,
what Longfellow calls,
The hardening of the heart that
brings,
Irreverence from the dreams of
youth"

Churches And
Picture Shows

(From Philadelphia Tribune)
People should keep their eyes
and ears open all OF the time, and
their mouths shut, as "still
tongue makes a wise head" they
say. and learn snmething useful
from all that they see and hear;
but most people do not do SO, and
fail to secure the splendid educa-
ton Mother Nature wills to teach
us all, and which our birds and an
imals learn and practice with mar
velous success.
Recently we spent an hour in
big church, and listened to a long
and rambling sermon on the re
wards and punishments of the fu-
ture life, when the things that wor,
ried us most were the hard labor,
small rewards and many aches and
pains that bother us now in this
present life. Half an hour more
was spent listening to mournful
music and earnest appeals for mon
ey to keep the Lords work going
The whole business made us rest,
less, dull and heavy. We paid
nothing to get into the church, but
gladly gave ten cents before leav-
ing it.
We felt so down in the mouth
from the solemnity of the church
experience that we were in no hu-
NOR to go home and to bed, and
possibly to ugly dreams; so at $50
We turned into moving picture
show, paid nickle at the office,
and spent another hour and a half
listening 10 good music, full of
snap and go, and seeing people do
things, sad and gay, that were ma
tural to say and do and which
teach us TO respect our neighbor
and sympathize with him in troub-
les, aud to rejoice and make merry
with him when all goes we'll with
him. When we got tired we walk
ed out, with the good impression
of the show full upon us, and with
no long hold up for collections.
Query: Would it not pay the
churches to take up the collection
in the beginning, and not in the
ending of the service, give us bet
ter music, with more snap and go
in it, and teach us more about the
philosophy of living and less about
about the dogmatism of dying?
We make only suggestion. We
believe in the good work of the
churches, but unless they change
their methods of raising money
and reduce their dogmas to present
conditions of life, standing by what
is best and contending against
what is worse, they will decline in
influence upon the mass of the peo-
ple. who want to know how to ov-
ercome the troubles that over
whelm them now, without having
those of the future hammered into
them before they get to them.
