VIC. every val.ing breath she drew
twauGed ac::oTly IN her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Far!ow's Oldest
daughter came hurrying in. Her face
was white. She had just learned that
the RalnEcg division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. Fc-loI rose, her face tragic.
One glance che gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile of
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares
for Triangulars No. u.
The room instantly was in confu.
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that IS. every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandagcs under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
iar!ow, still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure in the
corner was plugging away as mcchan'
icaliy and mcthodical!y as ever. The
one glance she threw o1er her shout,

less one, too, It was agreed.
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary Of Mrs. Farlow. It was un-
derstood that in her grief and appTe-
tension she was ill in bed. Then one
afternoon, pallid and quivering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit
fully when the others gathered about
her. Let me work" she appealed
plaintively. Work may help NE not

She took a bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work Of it, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast and the banGage slipped from
her hands. IT can't--oh, can't!" she
wept.
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three or
four DAYS later. a week later the
mother wandered IN again. BY now
the first of the troops were in the
trenches. and her pale, transparent
face was like a wraith's. She took 9

smiled seldom, and when she smiled it
was like the glitter of ice. She spoke
infreluently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle Of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as if she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
az the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
in the morning, tie last to leave az
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was a
worler-a hard workcr-no one would
dispute. Efficiency, as you'd suppose,
was trait of Mrs. Britts
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Efficicncy--drcadfu word that! How
often hard women are efficient! bow
often efficient woman are hard! She
was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
ca,ne in at the door she had Ter hat
and Jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim,
nustere and hnrd-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
of duty. Hard women always profess
, that trait. Duty, duty! But. then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Eritt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. FarloW.
She was soft and wonIanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She. was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs Farlow sat
Mt the work table, her mouth culver

in her eyes. The bardageS that came
from her were often Soiled and rum

JUDGE OLSEN, UPHELD.

Friday the Supreme Court Of the
State affirmed the decision of the District
Court OF Brown County in the case OF
George Guggisberg against VIM. H.
Boettger. This suit was brought by
the plaintiff for the purpose of recovering
damages which he claimed to have sus-
stained because Of smisrepre sentations
made to him by the defendent and
which caused him to buy stock in Wares
Grain Binder Attachment Co. which
stock afterwards proved to be absolutely
worthless. The defendent claims that
he had nothing to do with the sale OF the
stock, that he simply introduced one
Castberg who was selling the stock and
that he himself had made no represen-
sensations whatsoever. The case was
tried before Judge Olsen with a jury last
spring and was decided in favor OF the
plaintiff and judgment was entered for
$2,321.07; this included interest and
costs. The suit was brought in the name
of Mr.. Guggisberg to whom five others
who had also bought stock assigned their
claims.

Bring Back it's Color and Lusre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux

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's
Sage 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 it 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
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi-
site. It is not intended for the cure,
