THE LEGACY OF A JOYOUS YOUTHT|ME

Our lives are albums written through.
With good or i'll. with false or true.
And as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years.
God grant they read the good with smiles.
And blot the III with tears.
Putting an old head on young shoul-
ders never has been accomplished, and
never will be. How could one except
an innocent, playful kitten to be as
wise as those of its kind who have
summered and wintered life? How
could one expect the little lambs gam
boiling over the lea to fear the fate of
those who have gone before, or the
little speckled trout to be as wary as
the older fish that have successfully
lodged many bait set for their un-
doing?
Youth knows none Of life's perils. 1t
Is satisfied with the pleasures Of to-
day. 1t thinks the sun will always
shine and joys are always to last. Ones
duty Is to warn the young where the
shoals and pitfalls lie. But will they
heed? Not they. Warnings and scold-
ings come In one ear and go out the
other. That's the proclivity of youth
not to want to hear anything unpleas-
ant. While girls should not be brought
up with the idea that they are human
butterflies and joys are all that is
worth while in life, the cares that are
thrust upon their young minds should
be Offset with an equal amount of

pleasures. Care-free, happy youthtime
is theirs but once. 1t should be made
the most of. After-life hold much that
will cause them to be serious enough.
Parents should make an effort to
keep the home SO attractive for their
daughter that she would be pleased to
invite her young friends there. It is a
great satisfaction for parents to know
just what kind of companions of both
sexes their daughter takes to. The
home roof is always a safe meeting
place. Those who are denied compan-
ionship at home may grow out Of the
desire for bright, happy friends about
them, becoming morose and dissatis-
fed. The happy girl grows into con-
tented, satisfied woman. She has had
what joys happy girlhood has had to
oner and Is content to enter the most
serious path of life. She who never
had her youthful fling feels that the
world owes her something; that she
has been cheated of her rightful dues.
Those with whom girl is surrounded
make her happy or unhappy. All duty
and cares thrust upon her make her a
dull girl. Use caution in checking
laughter on girls lips. 1t comes from
her heart. Parents should give their
daughters all the pleasures in reason
which they can afford. Let them have,
If you have nothing else to leave them,
the legacy of joyous youthtime.

merely annoyed by the attention, for
he continued to watch the doors alert

tail at the kindly disposed passengers.
Little girls offered him candy, excel
lently dressed women asked him what
his name was and men with luxurious
automobiles tried to whistle him into
a life of luxury. He seemed to be a
stone pup. At quarter past FIVE a
man in blue overalls and carrying a
large, oily bundle and glistening dinner
box came out from the baggage room.
The hitherto stationary dog leaped into
the air, barking with all his might,
somersaulted and tried to knock the
big fireman over. This happened to be
the man he was waiting for.

Knee Brooches for All Men
May Be Style After the War

One of the possible results Of the
great war is the reform Of mems dress.
The trousers that bag at the knee are
coming into disrepute, owing to the
fact that so many mill ion men wear
knee breeches as they fight.
Even the kits of the Scotch. which
there has been a disposition to r1di-
cule, are found to be most useful on
the fighting line, says the Columbus
Dispatch. For men of action knee
breeches are more comfortable and
less cumbersome, and soldiers are ask
ing why men have been content all
these years to wear stovepipe castings
on their legs. And they are the men
who are going to exert influence after
the war. Their disincltnatiOn to re-
turn to trousers and their example. to-
gether with the fact that other pe0-
pie have become accustomed to seeing
men in knee breeches, may put trou-
sers out Of business altogether.
There is going to be a new world
after the war, and knee breeches for
men may be part Of 1t.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe
to bring color lustre and
youthfulness to hair
when faded, streaked
or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm 1t makes or
mars the face When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's
appearance q hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents for so cents large bottle, all ready
for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen . sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through the hair, taking
one. small strand at time; BY morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and lus-
trous. This ready-to-use preparation is
a delightful toilet requisite for those who
desire dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

ATTRACTIVE Ply
FOR CHILD ACTORS

Baltimore, Md, March 24-Greedy
parents are so tempted by the high
salaries paid to children by motion
picture companies as to make it diff
cult to enforce laws regulating the
employment of children in moving
picture plays, declared Miss Jeanne
V. Minor, of New York, assistant
secretary of the New York Child
Labor Committee, in an address here
today before the thirteenth National
Conference on Child Labor.
New York, Miss Minor said, has a
law regulating the employment of
children by motion picture companies,
but the high wages paid by them in
duce the parents to evade it.
"One mother" said Miss Minor,
was so intoxicated by the earning
capacity Of her five-yearold child
that she tried to obtain permits
simultaneously for movies and theat-
rical work. and another family Of
four lives solely on the earnings of a
baby of six months, the father hav-
ing given up his work to carry the
baby to and from the studio.
"Public opinion, expressed in 'oh's
and abs whenever winsome baby
is flashed on the screen is largely re-
sponsible for the overwhelming cir
Gle of child talent employed in the
making of motion pictures. But would
it add to the enjoyment of an audi
ence witnessing a thriller where the
flames sperad rapidly and the actors
barely escape cremation, to know
that in such a picture a girl of
twelve trying to escape, was not res
cued until seriously burned?
"Does the high salary Of $50 re-
inburse the mother whose small son
shivers naked in the icy waters of
the Hudson for twenty minutes when
the doctors bin for subsequent seriv-
ices is $3.50?
"Should it be possible to saturate an
infants crib with oil, set fire to it
and rescue the frightened baby not a
minute too soon?
tFNot the least Of evils of this use
! of children is the danger of moral
contamination in the low type of play
in which many of them take part as
did one little girl who played the
child of a drunken gambler"
Miss Minor declared that children
in New York evade the law by 60
ing to New Jersey where many NOV
inb picture studios are operated, and
where there is no law to restrict the
