ably thought he was strengthen
ing the foundation of the fam

AS a matter Of fact, this me
dieval decision tends directly to
undermine the foundation of the
family.
The women Of today are not
the clinging vines of yesteryear.
At least, vast and growing num-
bers of them are not.
Men who desire TO have peace
of mind on this subject had bet
ter try to get that idea-and the
sooner the better.
At the present moment there
are several millions of unmar-
ried women and an approximate.
ly equal number of unmarried
men. in this country.
This is largely due to the fact
that men do not get high enough
incomes to support families.
But it is also partly due to
the fact that women of spirit and
independence can not brook the
thought of being financially de.
pendent upon men. They wan,
to earn their own way. They
know that this is not an easy
thing for married woman to dc
under the present conditions. Sc
they remain unmarried.
Thus does the present capital
list system undermine the founda.
ton of the family.
4 And this is only one Of tb<
many ways in which it does so.
OF course, there will be no CO.
ercion about it. II they want tc

they can do so.
But the millions of women VIII,

willingness to do this-and tn,

COMB SAGE TEA

Darkens Beautifully and Re-

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alco-
hol added, will turn gray, streaked

Sulphur recipe at nome, though, is

get the ready-to-use preparation i'm
proved by the addition of other In.
gradients, large bottle, at little
cost, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur COM
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at q
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another applica-
ton or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luXuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis

That Father Johns Medicine con-

strength building, energy producing

scientific tests. This rich nourish-
ment is in a form which is more
easily taken up by the system than
the common foods we eat and has

Because it supplies the nourish-

years of success as a food tonic for
