A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE

No one can read the tribute paid
to George Washington, which we re-
produce on the first page of this Is
sue, without fuller richer, better
realization of what February % means
to us. Notice the reverence with
which the writer treats his subjects;
notice the expressions used to con-
vey meagerly the sadness that pos
sessed the land on the day the Father
of our Country was laid to rest; and
notice the prophecy which we are to-
day fulfilling-the reference to Cen
eral George Washington's name living
past the tomb.
For the copy of the paper from
which the account is reproduced we
are grateful to Mrs f.. L. Clarke,
whose kindness was most opportune.
Reading the story will be fitting oc-
cupation at the close of the day which
has been spent in celebrating the
birth of The Hero.

was forced to wonder if his teachers

he had not been advised of the pro-

the flag to the district. At the close of

children to lively tune began to file
into the building closing very hap

little lives.
For several weeks past they have
been saving their pennies and turn

which to purchase the flag. They were
all sworn to secrecy and were on
their tip-toes in excitement and ex-
pectancy for this day when they would
see their flag unfurled to the winds.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair a good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called '.Nyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents a bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. q Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful APP
pearance. It IS not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease. g
