BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you
use Grandmother simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth' s Sage and
Sulphur Compound you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
for about so cents.
Don't stay gray Try it. no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.

Cost of Necessities.
Burlington News. J

Mr.. Hoover himself, with all his pow
er and with all his experience and his
knowledge of business, can not make
producers keep on producing unless they
receive at least the cost of production.
The dairvmen around Buffalo, n. Y,
have marked the price of milk up to Is
cents quart. Their spokesman yester-
day said that Mr. Hoover had been in
vestigating conditions in that vicinity,
and that they would accept whatever
figure he might set the price at. Mr..
Hoover, the speaker said, could not ask
them to sell milk at loss. If they did
not charge their customers enough 10
cover the cost of production they must
give up the business.
The fact is-the undeniable fact is
the people of this country, all of us,
must make sacrifices, and big sacrifices,
too. 1t looks to US as though the sacri-
/ fees we are making now. and those we
have made heretofore, will be as moth.
| ing compared with those we must needs
make as the war goes on; and the only
thing to 10 will be to bear them as
eheerfully, as uncomplainingly as pos
sible. Our cheerfulness may take OF
the form of him who "Grinned horribly
a CHASTITY SMILE but never mind; Ie
us grin and bear it, if we possibly cal
do so. Probably we will be obliged t,
bear it, willy nilly; but we can throw
in the smile ON our own hook

hearths and homes as a CHASTITY reaIit,

FLOUR
In Times of Stress

These are certainly times Of stress In
the -four business. The mills are con-
forming rigidly TO the government regu-
lations and with the demand for flour
far in excess of the possible supply, ex-
IRENE caution In making sales is neces-
sary. We are doing everything that is
humanity possible 20 favor all Of our old
customers, and as nearly as we can, are
filling their orders at least 70 the extent
Of their past average requirements.
Current reports indicate that more lib
cral wheat receipts may be looked for
before long. SO far there has notlbeen
enough wheat coming in TO enable mills
TO run anywhere near full capacity -
something which every mill in the coun-
try ought TO be doing now. Were we
dependent on daily receipts, our Com
pany could not run its mills as close TO
capacity as 10 has been running them.
Long before the government fixed the
price Of wheat we foresaw the present
situation and accumulated little
wheat in our elevators at prices then
prevailing so as we might be il better
position 70 render adequate service TO
our good friends when the rush came.
Capacity cars and double loads are the
order Of the day. Only in this way can
the railroads meet the enormous de
mands made upon them.

manitarian, who has been doing a noble
work ten years in assisting erring boys
and girls into paths of usefulness in
maturer years as head of the state in
dustrial school. Mr.. Barss has also made
a study of rural conditions in Vermont
and he has sometimes made people vince
by telling them plain facts that they
ought to know and ought to seek to
remedy. Mr.. Barss has not only been
an excellent executive, but he has put
his heart into his work at the institu-
tion in Vergennes and he has been ably
assisted by his wife. Their places will
be filled with great difficulty. They are
going to Shawbridge, P. O., to take the
management of a boys home which is
an outgrowth of the Montreal juvenile
court, operated on the same basis as
Judge B. B. Lindsey's court in Denver
which has attracted national attention

A Vain Comparison.
Boston Transcript. J

The comparison between Senator La
Toilette and Aaron Burr. recently made
in the columns of the New York Times
by Professor Van Tyne of Michigan,
was not intended to be tiattering to
Mr.. La Toilette. 1t is so, however. for
it is a promotion of the Wisconsin SEN
ator s historical consequence, and a
compliment to his ability, to link his
name even with that of so bad an
American as Burr, who, though in
famous at last, was for some portion
of his career an able and patriotic sol
der, a brilliant lawyer, an evenheaded
and judicious vice president of the
United States aud president of the sen.
ate. Ii we examine the public career
of Burr up to the time when he fought
| his duel with Hamilton and thereby ac
| quired immortal infamv, we shall fai
to find any hint Of the marplot, the
mean and grasping politician, or the
traitor to his country.
1t is probable that if Burr had no
so smarted under the whip of Hamil
ton s political opposition and criticisms
and had let that great statesman alone
his name would have gone down witt
considerable credit in American his
tory. No one would accuse him up t
that time of putting self above the ma
ton, the pride Of mere personal PEI
versity above the public interest, o
the interest Of another country abov
his own. Burr, to be sure, was neve
convicted of treason for the Southwest
separation conspiracy, but we car
not wonder that his countrymen neve
TRUSTED him again. Yet there is afte
all certain pathos as well as a
amplitude in his life which his countr,
: men feel today, and which makes it a
impertinence to associate his fame an
his deeds, as Professor Van Tyne liz

EGRET MOTHERS.

1.-TWO birds called the Egret birds

One was named Mrs. Snowy Egret and
the other was named Mrs. American
Egret," began Daddy.
Mrs. Snowy is one of the loveliest
birds to be found anywhere and she is
just like her name. She is white, pure
white, and her plumage is very rich,
very beautiful. Her beak and her legs
are black, but all of her feathers are
white and there are glorious feathery
white sprays of feathers in her cos

Here is an appealing touch in the
wording of a sign displayed on the door
Of a church in Nashua, n. H.: "Come
in-rest and pray. Pray for your coun-
try, congress, the President, our boys
on the firing line, for those at sea.
Pray for peace" In times like these,
when men are called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice, it is to the church
that the parents and others whose loved
ones are fighting for the cause of liber-
ty and humanity should look for com
fort in their trying hour. The senti-
ment expressed in the above words could
well be placed above the portal of every
church.

The best roadway we have ever seen
in a village of the 5000 to 10000 class
is in Granville, y. Y, where several
hundred yards of the main streets were
laid years ago in vitrified brick. These
streets are in perfect condition today.
Their initial cost of construction, of
course, was large, but the expense FOR
maintaining the streets is an insignif-
cant figure, and they are easily kept
clean. With the multiplication of auto
mobiles in use all good sized villages
will eventually be forced to give up try
ing to keep macadam roadways in con
dition in their central sections.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IS. 1917.

Interest has been aroused in North
Adams within a few days by the dis
covery of sulphur ore, which has been
taken from a hillside four miles from
that city. 1t is like the ore from the
Davis mine in Rowe, which yielded an
output of $5.00O,0oo to $6,0oo,Ooo be
fore operations were discontinued about
four years ago. The Rowe mine is only
a few miles below the Vermont border,
and it is probable that prospectors in III
ture years may find in towns contiguous
to Rowe outcroppings that can be
worked proftably.

Sick headache, biliousness, coated

Poisonous matter clogged in the in

There is more than a grain of truth
