When only power 1t brings.
When high resolves no more inspire.
When the heart no longer sings,
When hope Is a ftful fire.
And life's harp has lost its strings!
Youth-time Ia laughter-time, enjoy
ment-time, bodybuilding time, the time
when the hearts song Is gay as tho
lark's and life's cares have not crossed
the horizon of the present. Pleasure
| and happiness are the birthright OF
the young. There should be- music in
their sunny days and floating through
| their dreams at night. 1t does not take
much to make them enjoy themselves,
merry companions, a little kindness
and love shown them, gratifying a few
simple wishes, and they are as happy
as the day is long. Duties may weigh
heavily on their young shoulders, but
| they do not worry over them-care Is
swept aside by the anticipation Of
some coming Joy.
It is when the candle Of hope has
burned to the socket and died out that
the human heart begins to languish
| and life's song dies away on the lips
In a sob. This should not be. No mat
| ter how bitter life is and how dark the
| clouds, the sunshine Is struggling to
pierce it's way through them and radi-
ate the heart with its brightness.
An angry thought, a brooding over
wrongs, real or fancied, Is just so
much poison dashed upon the poor,
helpless, suffering heart which is pow
erless to protect itself against the one
being on earth whose duty 1t is to
guard from injury. II brooding did
any good, one could be pardoned for
indulging in It, but 1t does not; on
the contrary. 1t Is throwing the door
of the heart wide open, inviting an &C
knowledged enemy to enter, making
havoc with the worn, tired, faithful
organ which is denied the little com
fort its faithfulness earns.
The woman whose heart no longer
sings loses her buoyancy and beauty
speedily. Her eyes catch the spirit
of discomfort and lose their brightness
and the lips their smile. All coQuetry
dies out Of her nature, and when this
happens her sweetest, most womanly
attraction vanishes with it. All will

TWO GOOD CROPS NEGLECTED.
Southern Farmer Is Urged to Raise
More Pumpkins and Cushaws-
Feed Surplus to Stock.

More pumpkins and cushaws should
be raised. Many do not recognize the
value of these crops. Pumpkins when
properly cooked and served are most
excellent foods. They may be used
for pies or cooked and served as
fruits. They are appetizing.
Cushaws are quite similar to sweet
potatoes in taste and food value. The
yield Of cushaws is generally large.
Both pumpkins and cushaws may be
kept through the winter and the sur
plus, II any, may be fed to stock. Try
these food crops this year.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
: HAIR To ANY SHADE
Don't stay grayl Here's a simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with a hair brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle OF

recipe which can be depended upon TO
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A weil-known downtown druggist saya
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
q time. By morning the gray hair dis.
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and abundant.

GETTING BACK
A! Mr.. BRYAN
Omaha Paper Says Prohibition
Fails to Lessen Liquor
Consumption

| The Protector, a newspaper publish
ed at Omaha. in Nebraska, William
Jennings Bryan's state, seriously dis
agrees with the gentleman who made
grape juice famous, on the prohibition
question The Protector speaks:
THE prohibition theory is that laws
forbidding the manufacture and sale
of liquors prevent their use. But all
experience under prohibitory laws
show that the consumption of liquor
remains about the same. the only diff
ference being that alcoholic beverages
are shipped into the dry territory
from wet states. or else the demand
is met by the Illicit manufacture and
sale of liquors"
Fully ninety per cent Of our people
have purchased and used intoxicants
They have created the demand, which
is the sole reason for the existence of
the supply. If selling is immoral, the
buying constitutes completely, and If
we who vote on the question of pro
hibltion are wholly moral, we should
az least protect the property rights
which our consumption Of intoxicants
helped create.
Prohibition speakers glide over the
question of, revenue. II won't come
out of their pocket. so you can guess
where IL will come from. or tho taxes
levied on liquors 1926 100000 were re.
ceived from internal revenue 1910 =.
and s19.200,000 from customs; total,

states from licenses amounted to SCI :.
100000. from counties $500. 900 and
from incorporated places having pop.
ulation OF $500 and over $4,000 900,
or total that the states derived from
liquor licenses OF s7s.6Oe. goo In 1913
This makes the total in the United
States from all sources s325. 100000.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE

call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon

teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure

Russia S S Startling Claims

Petrograd dispatches report one of the most
amazing successes of the year for the Russians
in their offensive from the Pripet swamps to the
Roumanian border. Dispatches say that the
Slavs have bagged thousands of men and cap
tured a large number of cannon and machine
guns If the Gar succeeds in his efforts, it will
menace the entire Teutonic defenses on the east
ern front, and force the abandonment of the Yer
dun attacks.
If Petrograd reports of great victories in the
past had not been such forerunners of great Rus
sian defeats, the current dispatches certainly
could be taken at meaning that Russia has recov-
cred and is justifying the faith of France and
England in their ally. Judgment on the new
Russian offensive must consequently be held in
allegiance until time reveals the truth.
