THE COMPELLING SPIRIT

Doing our part in financing the
greatest war the world has known
proves expensive. If we havn't done.
our part to the point that we really
feel the expense then we haven't done
our part. We may have felt therefore
that Christmas is out of the question
financially. AS the day approaches
however, the desire to make it a hap
by one for those near and dear to us
is most compelling.
AS is always the case with unplan-
ned and impulsive buying We spend
plan is to prepare for the Christmas
spirit each year, for it will overtake
every healthy, sane member of So
ciety. .
This year the older members of the
family, busy in arranging So that the
children will not be cheated out Of
their heritage In this glad day of the
year. will find satisfaction. We can
not absolutely forget the business of
war with SO many of II boys on the
field and so many more about to- 81.
We can, and must keep alive the spirit
of u Christmas. 1t will make US
all the more determined t6 make this
world a place where universal peace
and good-will-w will run no risk of be.
ing double-crossed.
Old Glory makes an impressive
crowning piece for the Christmas tree
and lends itself splendidly to combina-
ton with Christmas bells and holly
wreaths.
A movement is on foot to have
everyone sing my Country tbs of
Thee" at nine o'clock on Christmas
morning.
This will give ''our boys new heart.
They will be convinced that they were
not forgotten on the great home day
Of the year. Every soldier will realize
that the heart OF every American was
with him the entire day.

by the addition Of other ingredients
a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot Of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth
Sa sc and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it SO natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking. one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years

Compound is a delightful toilet requ1-

phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
aci,, liver and bowels the previous

poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in

lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for

your breakfast the phosphated hot

The millions of people who are both
