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 brew
ing 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 Tea and Sulphur enhances
its appearance 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 at a small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be depend
ed 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 simp
ly 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 readyto-use preparation is
a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful APP
pearance. 1t is not inter led for the
cure, mitigation or prevention or dis
ease.

bltion state and as such viii be subject
to the federal Law which forbids ship
ments of liquors to anyone within its
borders. 1t will be a dryer state than
ever before, and the change will be
very marked in a city like Portsmouth,
for instance, where liquor has been
sold freely for 200 years. The new
law contains one obnoxious feature to
which little reference has been made,
and that is the establishment of some
thing close to the old town agency sys-
tenn which was part of the prohibit
tion law which Vermont kept on the
statutes so years but never strictly en-.
forced. The town agency is supposed
to furnish liquors for legitimate pur
poses, but it is a system which is gen
orally abused and breeds a race OF
hypocrites To become absolutely clear
on the liquor question it will be nee
essary for the next New Hampshire
legislature to make another change
and to abolish all so-called agencies.

"lsn't 1t q Joke ?"
Asked Reddy.

When people
passed by during the daytime they
did not say anything at all, they
made a funny noise, which was sup
posed to sound quite mysterious and
wonderful, and then they did their
work.
But they understood each other
quite easily.
II suppose it's business" said
Reddy.
Sure" said Reddy again.
81 always like a good day-a day
when there's plenty of business, for
the masters sake, but l do think its
all a joke
"Just the way 1 feel about it." said
Bluey.
Now Bluey and Reddy stood all day
on top of a stand. They had little
dishes of grain and seeds and water,
and when business was dull they had
their meals.
Their master carried this stand
from place to place and Bluey and
Reddy always went along. They were
very handsome, with the most exauis-
| ite of plumage, but, oh, what voices
| they hadi
! 1t was their pride that they could
be heard a mile off, but they did not
| try too much of this in the daytime.
| They thought they might brighten peo-
| pie, but they certainly made enough
noise to attract people to them, and
to encourage them to help along the
/ business.
| Now, the business consisted of for
tune-telling. There were many pieces
of paper in little box, and written
on these bits of paper We're fortunes
| Of many kinds. These fortunes told
folks that they'd become very wealthy
or very poor. Some said they would
! have hard times ahead, but that bet
ter times would come soon. Others
said they would have a great deal of
luck in the next year. and again a
fortune said that the lucky one who
received this fortune would take q
long and wonderful journey and meet
a rich man at the end, and that they
would live happily ever after, as the
Old-faShioned story used to say.
These macaws would poke theil
beaks down into the little box and picl
out fortune of piece of paper witt
the printing upon it.
They were supposed to tell by the
looks of the person what sort of ;
fortune he should have. They die
nothing else but hand out fortune:
all day long, and the master, would
say:
"Come and have your fortune tolt
by either Reddy or Bluey. Only cost
ten cents"
Many people would come UP ant
Reddy or Bluey would pick out for
tune, and the people would go away
reading the piece OF paper in yer,
interested fashion.
81 think" said Reddy, otis a goot
joke, and it's all right if folks take i
that way. But when they believ

1.-THE Lesson Of the Draft.
(Rutland Herald

Under this title most interesting
article appears in the March Bulletin
of the State Board of Health, just is
sued from this city. Stated in a sen
tence. the lesson of the draft is that
over 80 per cent. of the men examined
for Vermont S first quota were physi-
cally defective, from causes preventive
in over 90 per cent Of the cases.
The Bulletin says:
The first seleetive draft called for
2 quota Of .049 men from Vermont.
In order to supply this number, it was
necessary to examine 5,65S men, and
Of these 2,S62 or over 80 per cent, were
rejected as physically deficient. The
largest number of reflections was on ac-
count of defective teeth, being 4S2 or
16.S per cent. Defects of feet were
next, numbering 442 or 1874 per cent
while 400 or l46 per cent were found
20 be deficient in height, weight or de
vclopmcnt.
In all, the examiners found that &C
ner cent of the defects could have been
removed or prevented by proper treat
ment or instruction in childhood or
youth The Herald commented on this
aminations were in progress and the
conclusions of the state board are strik-
ingly like those proposed at that time:
Never before have we had the OPP
portunity to see ourselves as we real
" are and to realize how we are ac-
tually wasting human lives and foster
ing u generation of detectives who
could be brought up to the full stand
ard OF manhood by the proper methods

resistible, viz, the further develop

Vermont availed themselves of this
service in 1916, although something il
the way of progress was accomplished
in 81 towns. In all, $3,34S.s7 was spent
for this purpose, an everage of $3.50
for each town in Vermont.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL Il, 1918.
HOLDING THE LINE

1T Is almost a month since the Ger
mans started their widelv-heralded
offensive which was to win the war.
The British have retreated at times.
but they are not conquered, and they
have inflicted a loss on the Huns
which runs into the hundreds of
thousands. If the British army. fight
ing with its back to the wall, does not
beat back the fierce onslaughts Of the
enemy, the consequences will be such
as all free people may we'll dread to
contemplate
The ambitious designs of the Ger
man high command have been fully
disclosed. No doubt remains that
they have launched this great often
sive, and that they intend to continue
1t with desperation, with utter disre.
gard of how many lives are lost, for
the purpose of winning the war. 1t is
decisive victory that they are after,
o"d if they should succeed in driving
the British army before them, it
would be long step toward winning
the war. There would be America left
to deal with. That may be true, but
it is a most disagrccable truth to have
20 face. Field Marshal Haig took no
pains to conceal the desperate nature
of the situation when he called upon
his whole army to fight to the last
man, not to give an inch of ground
The British army is fighting with its
back to the wall.
If the British line should not hold
America, sooner or later, would have tc
fight with its back to the wall. The
British line, thank God, has held SC
far, and with the help of the French
and American armies may it continue
to hold. There is reason for our deer
concern in the progress of the battle
now raging in Flanders, and we have
reason for our admiration for the he
role stand that is being made by the
British army against great odds.
