old FATHER
HUBBARD

\ Reporter reader who is watching
the growth of anti-liquor sentiment
with interest has submitted the fill
lowing taken from the Chatsworth
News:
Old Father Hubbard went to the
cupboard,
To get him bottle of beer.
But when he got there the cupboard
was bare,
Alas! Prohibition was here.
He went to the tavern to purchase
some ale,
But when he got there the place was
for sale
He went to the shop for a bottle of
gin,
But when he got there he couldn't
get in
He ordered some whisky-for use
scientific!
They sent him wood spirits; the
smell was terrific,
He went to a Vet to prescribe for
calf;
Some brandy would do-say pint
and a half.
He found on returning the Vet play
ed him false;
The bottle contained only water and
salts.
He went to doctor for rum for
boil,
But Doc prescribed sulphur and
sweet castor oil.
He went to druggist without a pre-
scription
So he couldn't get liquor of any de-
scription

Camera for AViators

One of the new devices by which
European war ayiators obtain cor
rect photograph of the enemies posi-.
ton is a camera operated with a trig.
ger like a pistol. It can take clean
and distinct photographs for military
purposes at an altitude of 600 feet or
more. The aviator takes AIM and pulls
the trigger as though firing a revolver.
The pistol camera was invented by the
Germans, but one Of them was found

effective that it was copied in large
numbers for French aviatOrs.

COMMUNITY
BENEFIT THRU
INDIVIDUAL
STRENGTH

The invitation to church services is
entitled to serious consideration, and
is worthy of cheerful acceptance.
No JUNCTION of modern society is so
important, being of vital concern to
both the individual and to the com
munity
Some may say they can get along
without the church, but they really
need the church as portion Of life's
necessities.
Mingling with neighbors and friends
in religious services adds to the
breadth and strength of character.
In every community there are many
who need the spiritual food church
fellowship would give.
In every life there is vacancy which
can best be filled by participating
in and contributing to the church ser
vices.
Every individual who is weak needs
the help of the church; every individ-
ual who is strong has something to
bring to the church.
The only question is whether your
responsibility is to get for yourself
what you need, or to give to others
what you can.
No day of rest is complete unless
it uplifts, refreshes, purifes and
strengthens; enabling you to be bet
ter and do better.
No Sabbath is well spent which
lacks spiritual refreshment.
Entering into the gates with thanks
giving and into the courts with praise
enables each to get that which is
beneficial
Bringing to the services of the day
a mental and spiritual attitude of
worship secures an adequate return
in benefits.
Those who seek that which is good
will find it; those who are willing to
have benefit will be benefited.
Each has his own need, each has his
own soul-substance which needs to
be shared to be increased
Bring to the services an open mind,
listening heart, a yearning for bet
ter things, and you will not go away
disappointed.
There is a seat in any church for
anyone and way in which each can
have his best self made even better.
The mere contact with people of bet
ter thought and purpose will strength
en- the one who desires that which is
there found.
Every Sunday IS an occasion. EV-
cry individual needs the help Ev-
cry congregation offers that help Ex-
pose yourself to it.
1t is better to act than to wait; I'M
certainty never got anyone to desir-'
ed goal; hesitation will not benefit
you
For today is the time of decision;
you must realize the need of what the
church offers; you must benefit by
the opportunity VIII you?
How amiable are thy tabernacles,
0 Lord of hosts! ! My soul Iongeth,
yea, even fainteth for the courts of
the Lord"

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grandmother's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur and mo-
 body will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect |,
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after an other application or two it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of disease. (Advertisement)
