You reckless men and women who

Freezone dries the moment il is an

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea

orlngs back the natural color and lnstre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home which
Is mussy and troublesome. NOWADAYS hv
asking at any drug store for sWyeth's

get large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
oDon't stay gray! Try it. No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and

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, glossy and attractive.

WAS PRISONER IN A CROCK
Boys Plight Analogous to That Of
Many Whose Heads Are Stuck
Fast in Worries,

An earthenware crock which a bow
playing policeman, had put on his
head as helmet, slipped down and
stuck fast. The boy made q rec.
ord resignation from the police force,
and his muffled howls attracted
prompt attention.
His alarmed mother tugged at the
crock until the boys face was sorely
bruised; then excited neighbors took
turns until his neck was pain
fully twisted.
Meanwhile the bowling boy was suf-
fering terrifying visions of lifelong i'm.
prisonment, as secure as in dungeon.
and of his head from year to wear
growing larger and tighter in the
crock. The poor boys trouble shut
him in from all the rest of the world
with an ingrOwing Imagination. But
that is only what anyone's trouble Of
any sort is apt to do for one. OBJ
serves the Christian Herald.
The mother, the father, who had
been sent for, and a half hundred
neighbors, who had invited themselves
under the delusion that curiosity is
sympathy, finally settled down to SOL
emn conclave and decided that, since
the crock had slipped on it must be
possible for it to be slipped off again.
but that only skillful surgeon could
perform the delicate operation.
A delegation was on It's way with
the boy to a surgeons Office, When a
resourceful motorman, seeing the stu
alton, smashed the crock with his con-
troller handle.
Thus, by the simplest of processes,
the boys trouble was suddenly ended.
And it is by equally simple and di-
rect processes that most of the trou-
bles of most Of us may be ended.
With our heads stuck fast in wor-
ries, we rack our brains over a thou
sand roundabout ways Of slipping
them off-and the harder we tug at
them the more they hurt-but we
overlook the simple expedient of
smashing the crock.
Like the lad, we see terrifying vi
sions Of the future; we suffer our
feelings to be cruelty lacerated and
our bodies to be twisted and torn in
mental anguish and despair; we run
here and there for sympathy and ad-
vice and help; and it does not occur
to US how easy it is just to break the
crock
Most of the crooks that seem to slip
down over our heads are merely imag-
mary. anyway. They require no street
car controller handles to smash them.
All they call for is a mental con-
troller handle.
Did it ever occur to you that most
Of our troubles come. as this lads
did, through trying to appear what
we aren't?

MILK MAY BE PAsTEURIZED AT
HOME
Operation is Simple and Easily Per
formed-How It's Done

Attention housewives. II you are
buying raw milk and feel that it
would be safer if it were pasteurized,
lust do it yourselves. 1t is very
simple matter and will not take much
Of your time. This is the way to
proceed.
Punch a few holes in the bottom Of
a pie tin and place it bottom side up
in a two-quart lard pal, half full Of
water. Take the bottle Of milk that
is to be sterilized, punch hole
through the paper cap and insert a
milk thermometer. Now place the
bottle of milk in the water on the pie
tin, and set it on the stove. Heat it
until the Thermometer registers l5OF.
Be careful not to heat it to more than
1857 because it will cause undesirable
changes in the milk constituents. The
bottle is now removed from the water,
covered with a cloth and allowed to
stand for 30 minutes, after which it
is cooled as rapidly as possible, by
setting the bottle in cold water. After
being cooled, the milk should be kept
at a low temperature until used.
Milk will keep longer after it has
been treated in this way but cream
will not raise as quickly. Pasteuriz-
ing does not kill all of the germs in
milk and it should not be kept longer
than raw milk before using.-Geo.

"Ne Sutor Ultra Crespidam"

Carranza refused to sign the proto-
col which the Atlantic City conference
prepared.
The Entente Powers of Europe have
politely but very firmly indicated that
they do not desire the good offices of
this government in securing peace.
The people of Santo Domingo have
sent to the governments of South and
Central America a protest against the
action of the administration in seiz-
ing control of the affairs Of their is
land.
1t cal not, therefore, be held that
American diplomacy as practiced in
this year Of our Lord is a glittering
success.
But it has been demonstrated that
the state department can make ut
terances which will destroy values in
the American stock market, which
will wreck the financial prospects Of
thousands of small investors, and
which, properly Leaked" will enable
n few persons to reap colossal gains.
Would it not be wise, therefore, for
the state department to confine its
operations to the stock market, where
II has shown itself to be really po-
tential, rather than to continue to
mix and muddle in matters where it
cannot accomplish anything, even for
the humanity" which it seems to be
our manifest destiny to serve, but
which. ungratafully, wishes to be let
alone

ton by Results.

New York has swung from extrava-
gance to frugality under the need
Of saving food to win the war. The
immense savings effected in wheat and
meat. the National Food Admins
tration announced last night, show
that New York's hotels, the tradi-
tionally seventh cycle Of prodigality
are doing more. in proportion, than
American homes in food conserva-
ton.
Figures OF the administration indi-
cate that the hotels and restaurants
of the Metropolis, through wheatless
Wednesdays and meatless Tuesdays
and other conservation measures, are
taking the lead In a new reputation
for economy.
IF hotels and eating places in other
cities were doing as well aa those
in New York, and If private homes
were saving with equal care" says
the administration, the amounts of
wheat. meat, fats and sugar that
would be gained for shipment to our
allies would be enormous"
Mammoth Wheat Saving.
The wheat saving in New York s

almost 1000 barrels a week. More
than 1000 tons of meat are saved each
week for the armies with the move

U. S. RED CROSS
HUGE FACTORIN
TROOPS MORALE
French and British Are Well
Taken Care Of by
Americans.

Every person in this country who
has given a days work or a dollar
to the american Red Cross has done
a great deal toward winning this
war;" said Charles d. Norton, of
the Red Cross War Council, upon
his return to this city after a two
months tour of the French, British
and italian fronts.
Addressing members of the Red
Cross stan. at national headquarters.
Norton said:
THE big impression that comes from
visit to Europe now is of the i'm
mensity Of the fight. have no doubt
that anyone going over there returns
with a number of suggestions for
his military and naval friends. I
had forty. They have boiled down
to one. wish every important Amer
lean who has authority and respon-
sibility in the very highest places
might visit Europe. think that
would do more toward winning the
war than any one thing. 1t would
do more to throw us into the frame
OF mind into which we must be thrown
If we are to win the war.
THE Red Cross organization abroad
is more up to the situation that con-
fronts tho Red Cross than any or
ganiZation abroad. 1t Is extraordi-
nary what we are accomplishing in
actual achievement on the other side
At this moment the question Of NOR
ale is the big thing. The Red Cross
canteens make a great Improvement
in the French morale.
Roy Scouts on Job.
For example, at some points when
the troops returning from the front
were detrained, they would not dare
lie down on the platform to sleep
for fear Of missing the train, which
in many cases passed early in the
morning. Now coming to the cam
teens these men, tired. muddy and
dirty, are assured that a Boy Scout
will awaken them in time.
The soldiers then take shower
baths and refreshments. They are
given coffee free and can get excel
lent food for about a franc, When
they depart it is with high spirits,
and they arrive home in that spirit.
It makes a great difference in the
morale OF the troops. The work has
also made a very fine impression on
the French. They like the way our
people do it.
I'm England found that We had
the perfect cooperation of the Brit
ish Red Cross. The attitude Of the
American Red Cross has pleased the
British, and enormously increased
their good will. Our donation of
$1,000 900 to the British Red Cross was
a definite and positive sign to Eng
land that we consider ourselves ac-
tually her partner.
Until our troops have been moved
to France in vast numbers, the big
gest thing America can do is to help
maintain the desired morale. France
is resolute. but she is tired. We must
help inspire them with the same en-
