THE HOUSEWIFE GETS
HER MONEYS WORTH.

Time was when the housewife
practiced loose methods in purchas-
ing her foodstuffs. i.
But not in this age Of the high
cost of living. To-day she practices
business methods, and she makes it
a point to get her moneys worth.
In her selection Of foodstuffs she
devotes much thought. She studies
the food market and familiarizes
herself with the different brands of
foods.
When she strikes the right article
she sticks to it. She wants the best
at the lowest cost and she gets it if
she follows the right methods Of sell
ection.
The housewife should give careful
consideration to the baking powder,
tea, coffee, flour and other similar
foods if she is to get full value for
her money.
There is always one best brand in
every line, and it. is the housewives
duty to find that brand.
In purchasing foods be sure that
you practice caution and you'll get
the best.
& The housewife who reads the ad.
vertising I'll the sheaf knows what
brands to purchase and consequently
will save money if she insists on re.
ceiving advertised merchandise.

Newspaper Wins Case.

Recently the publisher, Of the
Huron State Spirit sued a subscriber
who refused to pay for the paper
and secured a judgment for the back
subscription amounting to So. Costs
were added and the subscriber had
to pay these too. It was a test case.
There are no Federal postofice rul-
ings which exempt a man from the
payment of any amount Of back sub
scription to a newspaper. A sub
scription debt is as valid as gro
Gerry bill and is collectible under the
state law. Brookins Register.

Animals in Christmas Customs.

The Christmas customs in Norway
and Sweden are the most interesting
of any country. It is a time of great
rejoicing. To: show that there are
ainicable feelings; between every one
in the household the shoes are placed
in row at night in the hall when
retiring on Christmas Eve, and, like
the German custom, candles are left
burning in the village windows all
night to light the way for *tKristine,"
who brings the gifts. The Christ
mas tree is largely decorated with
candies and pretty cakes arranged in
bright colored baskets-all usually
homemade.
The richer households send good
things to the poor, and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the
animals and birds remembered. The
boys and girls save up their pennies
during the year for this purpose
Sheaves Of grain are fastened to the
window lodges in town, and in the
country the sheaves are fastened to
long poles and renewed every day
for a week, and many are the birds
that spy this feast. On the barn
floors of the peasants bowls of hot
porridge are set for poor "Robin
Goodfellow'' to comfort him because
he has no "soul." The COWS and the
horses share in the general happi-
ness by having a double share of
food given them.
i It is a big skip from the North
land to the South land or tropical
countries where Christmas is cele-
hrated without the evergreen tree to
decorate and hang gifts on. In
Brazil and other Spanish countries
the holiday may be spent outdoors in
the sunny fower-scented air.
They have quaint superstitions in
these summer lands relative to "Yule
tide. On the coffee plantations the
old folk say that on Christmas night
the animals have the gift of speech
and that if only the child has suffi-
cient courage to go out alone after
dark it will hear, on the stroke of
twelve the cock crow in loud clear
voice from his highest perch:-
"Christ nasceu"- Christ is born.
The bull in a deep sonorous bass
inquiries from a distant field, "Onde"
where?
The sheep then answer in chorus,
''Em Belem de Juda"- in Bethlehem
of Judea.
In turn all the domestic animals
give to the world the glad tidings of
the Nativity. Many a child wishes
it had the courage necessary to en-
able him to hear this wonderful con-
versation Of the brute creation.-Our
Dumb Animals. -

Few Folks Have
Gray Hair Now
Well-known local druggist says
everybody is using old-time
recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when It fades. turns gray. dull and nfe-
less, is caused by a lack OF sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
ture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur 10 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 mixture
improved by the addition of other ingre-
dients by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the hair
so naturally. so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell 1t has been applied. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with Il
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray haiv disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. is that, besides beau
tifully darkenlng the hair after few ap-
plications, It also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives 1t an appearance OF
abundance.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance TO the
hair. II Is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.-Ad-

The Trouble In Mexico.

" ANNAANNs
BEATRICE. Neb.. March 3O-To the
Editor Of The Bee: I would like to
answer Mr.. Pope's letter which appeared
in Mondays paper about our causeless
war with Mexico In the first place we
are not at war with Mexico. as he stated;
we are simply running to cover some
murderous bandits with the Mexican gov
ernment's permission. II we were at war
with Mexico we would have TO fight gov
ernment troops.
lie also stated that II we were to kill
seventeen Mexicans II would not bring
our seventeen Americans back who
were killed at Columbus Mo- That is
true. too. but It will prevent a recur-
renee of the murderous act. II we were
to chase Villa Just across the border II
would not be a week before he would
again cross the border and do the same
thing again. II Mr.. Pope thinks this
would not have happened had we not
went across the border. don't see the
reason why because 1t isn't the first
time Americans have been killed on
American soil. The only mistake we made
was putting II off as long as we did.
Haven't they been killing Americans for
the last four years or more? Isn't the
government of the United States sup
posed to protect it's citizens in another
country? wonder what our friend, Mr.
Pope would say were he living in New
Mexico. and had seen the acts Of murder
being committed at his door for the last
four years and without the least posi-
bility Of II coming to a close. I think he
would take a different look at the situa-
ton. We hope he will change his mind
before long. EARNEST LANGDALE.

district Judge who hears and decides these

entitled TO a cut up. The judge has his
regular docket OF cases and the final
hearings of these naturalization cases
are really extra work for him and his
salary from the state is l,000 per annum

clerk who brazenly pockets all the
fees not to be remitted TO the government.
