just a suooestion.

Captious citizens may be inclined
to criticize the treasury commentary
on the new war taxes. OF these the
secretary says:
IF the emergency revenue act had
not been passed the surplus in the
treasury might have disappeared alto
gether. AS long as the expenditures
of the government exceed its income
there is always danger. To maintain
such a condition is both unsound and
imprudent."
AS an alternative to the excess of
expenditures there is always the pos
sihility Of retrenchment. The practice
of private economy has been pain
fully enforced on a large portion of
the people. and some persons are
likely to suggest that increased taxes
are not the only method of averting
the danger which Mr.. McAdoo dis
cusses.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe TO Darker and 5eautify
Gray, Faded, Llfeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you viii get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to rise, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
DIR lff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
a well-known druggist says every
BODY uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray air disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy. soft and abundant. Adv.

Poor Mrs. smith.

A minister was recounting some Of
his amusing experiences in marrying
people. There's an old custom"
said he, that the bridegroom shall

RESPONSIBILITY Is WIIson,s.

President Wilson's administration

The War Tax

Secretary McAdoo's recommends
ton that the limitations under which
the war tax measure is to expire De-
cenber 81. 1915, be removed and the
act amended so as to provide that
it shall remain in force until the
end Of the conflict in Europe. is par
ticularly significant when considered in
connection with estimates Of appropri-
atoms calling for an expenditure of
$1,000, 775,134. These estimates were
transmitted to congress by the presi-
dent, and it is understood that by his
order they have been subjected to a
pruning process, but they are still so
large as to show that not much econ
omy is to be expected at Washington.
Apparently there is little. If any, dis
position to save money. and yet it Is
becoming more and more evident
that with reasonable care in handling
the governments resources 1t would
be safe to repeal the emergency tax
measure before the time set for it to
expire. The country properly resent
ed the imposition of this burden in
time of peace at home, and its resent
ment will be increased by Mr.. Nc
Adoo's most inopportune recommen-
dation.-Rochester Post-Express.
