SAGE TEA

fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui

Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for so cents a large
bottle, all ready for use. 1t is called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lustre

Everybody uses -'wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.

the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight

BOY GETS OFFICE
Student, 10, County Attorney of
Wichita County.
Quit School and Take Job If
Contest Falls Down.

Leoti, Kan, Nov. 21.-Herschel l..
Washington, altho but 10 years of age,
was elected county attorney of Wichita
county in the recent election.
Young Washington is a student in
the University of Kansas. His father
is the only Republican attorney in
Wichita county. There are two Demo-
cratic lawyers, one of whom was run
ming for county attorney. The Re-
publicans of the county wanted Mr..
Washington, sr., to run on his party
ticket. But the law business was pay
ing too well to neglect it for the county
office. He mentioned that his son.
Herschel, who has helped in the law
office for several summers, won a
case this summer involving $3.50.
There was no time to have the name
of Washington, jr., printed on the ball
lot. His Republican friends wrote it
in and he won in the primary receiv-
ing sixty votes.
Expects a Contest.
The county clerk, believing it I'M
constitutional, refused to put his name
on the ballot. His friends appealed to
the attorney general who ruled that
Washington's name should be on the
ballot as the duly nominated Republic
can candidate. And he won by ma
jority of fifteen votes.
81 think it will be contested" said
Washington. ST am only 10, going on
20, and the folks think l am too
young. I will have to withdraw from
school the second semester if no con-
test is made of the election" =
Washington, jr., was the speaker of
the day at the dedication of the new
Wichita county courthouse September
Z. In his remarks he told the people
of the county that they were not pro-
viding adequate school facilities for
their children. Before this day he

very seriously. But that speech made
the folks of the county take notice.
Washington refused to leave school
this fall to campaign but he did write
personal letter to every voter in the
county. And now he is county attor-
ney.

TALE OF TWO WARS
One in Europe and One in Kansas
Related to Press Club.

Two wars were described in detail
Monday night at the Topeka Press
club banquet at Pelletiers. Don
Thompson of Topeka, famous war
scribed the war in Europe, while
George McDermott described the war
in Kansas=that is, the gas war that
is near an end now.
In addition officers were elected for
the ensuing year. An entire new set

thur L. Shultz of the State Journal,
vice president; Percy c. Powell of the
State Journal, secretary, and Earl
AkerS, state treasurer, treasurer. Ine
members of the board of directors are:
C. L. Mitchell, John M. Padgett, w. T.
Brown and w. r. Kercher.
Don Thompson Talked.
Don Thompson talked for half an
fired at him for an hour. He told of
the life in the trenches where the
French and Germans are within talk
ing distance and do talk when officers
are not present He stated that SOL
diers in first line trenches never leave
unless they are wounded or dead or
driven back.
There is a feeling existing that the
English have not done their share in
the worlds war, Thompson declared,
altho recently they have apparently
taken more active part. He ex-
pressed belief that the allies could
win if they wished to pay the price.
France, Thompson stated. was buying
ammunition for 1920 and some con-
tracts for 1925. He lauded Capt. Phil
Billiards. flying abilities again. His
latest war pictures were turned over
to the Press club to be shown in To-
peka, the proceeds going to the Topeka
Provident association.
His talk was interesting and fasci-
mating and held the close attention of
the club.
Couldn't "HeclxIe'' McDermott
George McDermott wanted to be
'heckled' and it started out that way
But his talk grew so interesting and
he knew so much more about his SUBJ
ject, gas, that the .'hecklers'' forgot
their parts. His speech was one of
the best ever delivered before the
Press club.
Never will there be sufficient gas,
McDermott declared, until the wealthy
home owner quits burning gas in his
furnace and permits it to go to the
outskirts, where the small home own
er and renter lives. That condition of
affairs will never be reached until the
basic principle of gas rate making is
changed. He proposed that the big
user of gas be charged more for the
gas used instead of the small con-
sumner.
why shouldn't the rich man who
uses thousands of feet of gas and
keeps an adequate supply from the
poor man be made to pay more rather
than less for his gas?" asked McDer-
mott.
Deplores Cheap Politics.
McDermott deplored the attempts of
politicians to advertise themselves by
jumping on the gas company. He also
