Turn. Hair Dark
With Sage Tea
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark,
Glossy and Youthful with Simple
Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good, even
color, which is quite sensible, as we
are living in an age when youthful
appearance is of the greatest advan-
tage. e.,
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 ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound for
about 50 cents bottle. 1t is very pop
ular because nobody can discover it
has been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft luster and appearance
OF abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. 1t
is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention OF disease.

LOGAN CASES APPEALED

Des Moines, Ia, March lS.-(Spe-
cial)-Company officers in the Iowa
National Guard wishing to resign
from the service have been asked to
withhold their requests. Regimental
commanders and Adjutant General
Logan desire to preserve the we'll
trained Iowa organization intact.
Probability of war with Germany is
the main reason why guard officers
are urged to remain in the service.
Action by congress in adopting uni
versal military training or the placing
Of the National Guard under complete
federal control is expected at the
extra session. That is. another reason
why designations are discouraged.
Liquor Cases to U. S. Court.
Injunction petitions filed by Super

roads from shipping liquor into the

the cases to the federal court, which
would defer any ruling until Judge
Martin J. Wade comes here for the
May term of court. Transfer of the
injunction cases to the United States
court is made automatically when Pc
titions are filed in district court and

This expresses the condition of mind

finds that owing to hitch in the pro-

LOST AND FOUND Is
TEXT OF A SERMON
Rev. J. r. Poucher breaches
on Three Parallels Found
in Luke's Gospel.
JOY OVER RETURN OF LOST

Rev. J. F. Poucher, pastor OF Trim
ity Methodist church, preached yes
terday morning on three verses found
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke.
Each of these three verses contains
the words lost and found" he said.
an the sixth verse we learn of the
man whose sheep had been lost and
he had found it. In the ninth verse
the woman rejoices because she had
found the coin that she had lost: And
in the twenty-fourth verse the father
rejoices because of the return of the
prodigal son, saying: This my son
was lost and is found
1--WE owe these three parallels to
the criticism and soothing OF Jesus
enemies. They said of Him.. This
man receiveth sinners and eateth with
them .
THAT was true. But he mingled
with sinners as a physician mingles
with the sick or as Red Cross nurse
mingles with the wounded on the bat
tie feld--to heal and help them.
Despair dlu ivy.
"The word lost has in it all the
grief and despair possible; and the
word found is filled with rejoicing
and happiness. Both may come into
persons life in the same day.
1.-THE parable of the lost sheep illus
trates hopelessness, that of the lost
coin helplessness and that of the lost
son disobedience.
1.-THE lost sheep was outside Of the
fold. The Christian who gets outside
of the fold is in danger. The shepherd
is always more anxious about the
sheep that is outside the fold than
for the ninety-nine that are inside be-
cause the one is in danger and the
ninety-nine are in safety.
an the parable of the lost coin it
| is significant that the coin was lost
in the house, not out in the wilder
ness. And it is significant fact also
that men in the church, even minis
tiers themselves may be lost while
they are nominally in the house OF
God and members of his body.
Seeks the Sinners.
1.-THE parable of the prodigal son
centers the attention upon the sinner
The other two parallels center atten.
ton upon the God who is seeking
after the sinner. In the case of the
sheep and the coin the owner went
in search of them when they were
lost and brought them back. In the
case of the prodigal son, he came tc
himself and went to his father This
shows the sinner awakening perhap:
in response to the infinite love of the
Father and His longing.
sand here again we see the JOY
that there is in Heaven over the re-
turn Of sinners, how the father of the
prodigal received him and ordered
| the best robe to be put on him and {
ring on his finger and had the fattee
calf killed. all symbolic of Gods eter
nal love-"
