preventive measures, the thing to do
is to continue the prevention as long

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN II
It's crandmother's Recipe TO
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, BesutIfui.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu-
riant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blcsome. An easier way Is to get the
ready to use preparation improved by
the addition Of other ingredients, q
large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores known as "Wyeth's = Sage and
sulphur Compound thus avoiding q
lot Of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sim
full, we All desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attraetiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth Is Sage
and sulphur Compound, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, 50
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this thru
yoTr 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 9
Sage and Sulphur Compound is o de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
yention Of disease.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
.~S-s-A
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polso<as.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep we'll, look well. What a
gloriors condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it il if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can. instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Eeryone. whether aiiing, sick OF well,
should. each morning, before break
fast, drink glass of real hot water
with teaspoonful Of limestone phos-
phate in it to wash from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels the previous
day S indigesfible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins. The action of hot wa
ter on an empty stomach is wonder
fully inyigorating. It cleans out all the
sour fermentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid appe-
tife for breakfast.
The millions Of people who are both
cred With constipation. bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rhcumatism; Others
who have saliow skins, blood disorders
and sickly compilations are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store which will
cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone a pronounced crank on
the subject Of internal sanitation.

comfort, going without meat and
wheat, without candy and sugar, with
out the pleasures of palate. There is
something stimulating and refreshing
in self-denial and self-sacrifice. That
is the lesson of Valley Forge. Let US
remember it.
Can we not all together, as one peo-
pie, with one voice, and one heart, on
Memorial day pray:
May the powers that move through
the universe and reveal themselves in
the actions of men use us as their in
struments for high purposes, as they
used George Washington in his day,
and Abraham Lincoln in his day;
MAY they steel our hearts to bear
privation, suffering, death, until wrong
shall be overthrown, and right be re-
stored to it's throne;
MAY they strengthen our soldiers
and sailors, redouble the vigor of their
bodies and the might of their souls, so
that they shall compel victory to fol-
low at their heels;
"And may we always in the time Of
conflict, every hour of the day and
every hour of the night, remember
George Washington, and strike with
all our national might, putting the
strength of 1O0,O0o,O0O people into each
blow; and, in the hour of victory, re-
member Abraham Lincoln, and have
charity for all and malice toward
none"
In this state of mind we shall be the
better warriors, and go to battle like
Cromwell's Ironsides, confident of vic
tory, or like Stonewall Jackson's
troopers, with the fear Of the Lord
in their hearts and the might Of the
Lord in their right hands. For what
is the Lord" but the confidence of

"A m EMORIAL DAY has come
N again. Let us retire into our
AV n selves, and let US remember.
The earliest settlers In this
country, whether they came with Capt.
John Smith. with the Pilgrims, the Pu-
ritans, the Dutch, the Quakers, or the
Catholics, whether they came early in
the seventeenth century or whether
they came in the exodus from Ireland
in the lean years of the nineteenth, or
in the flight before the reactionary do
minion established in Europe after
1913, or whether they came to escape
pogroms in the beginning Of the twen-
tieth century, all, in their respective
ways, grappled boldly with the difficult
ties of life, and brought their purposes
to accomplishment. Let us remem-
Der.
The noblest figure of the eighteenth
century, be the others who they may,
IS that Of George Washington, who in
the first great trials of our national
life raised ga standard to which the
wise and the just could repair" and
left the issue in the hands of God.
Let us remember.
The noblest figure Of the nineteenth
century, excepting no one, is that of
Abraham Lincoln, who by his heroic
saintliness, his heroic patience, his he
roic conception of duty, his heroic hui
mility, led his people through the fiery
| trials Of the Civil war. Let us remem-
Der.
We have doubtless made mistakes I;
we have neglected duties; we have
overestimated the value of riches; we
ave cared too much for luxury; we
| 9ave failed to establish justice for the
masses; we have not brought democ-
racy to ripeness; we have forgotten
| the true road; we have sought to wor-
ship both GOO and mammon; but we
have not let the fires of hope-that
the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail
among all Americans and between
| America and all the world-die out In
our hearts. Let us remember.
Now we confront the greatest trial
| that our nation has faced. The strong
est power in the world, built up on its
military foundation, as solid as the Ro-
1
| man colosseum, and animated by IL
sanic pride and ambition, has set out
TO dominate the world Let us remem-
Der George Washington, shut our teeth,
draw the sword and fling the scabbard
away, until German sense of justice
shall triumph over German brutality
This means effort, effort. effort; all tho
people, men and women, putting all
their strength into the great task until
the will of 1Oo,O00,0O0 people, resolute
to put down wrong, shall prevail. Il
means sacrifice of life and limb on the
plains of France, on the high seas, on
the Alpine slopes of Italy. and, at last
on the roads and fields of Germany
It means abstinence and self-denial al
home, cutting off luxury, cutting down

First Northern Volunteer.

The first volunteer for service during
the Civil war was DR.. Charles F. Rand,
and his demise occurred in his home
in Washington, D. c., some years ago,
after long period of illness, the di-
rect result of wounds received during
the war.
Although for long time there was a
hearty dispute as to who was the first
volunteer to sign the roll when Presi-
dent Lincoln issued his first call for
troops, careful comparison OF all
claims and research as to difference in
latitude resulted in the hestowal of the
patriotic palm upon Doctor Rand. and
he was recognized as the first volun-
teer by all the chief executives of the
nation, from President Lincoln to The.
odOre Roosevelt.

a disciplined man, pure from preiu-
dice, untainted by hatred, ennobIed BY
charity, that he, in the place and at
the time allotted to him, is serving
great ends for the good of mankindf
The war must end in one, definite,
simple way: The Prussian tyranny
must be overthrown, kaiser, shining
armor, mailed fist, proclamations for
men to shoot their fathers and broth.
erS, exhortations to outdo the Huns.
Krupp arsenals, military education,
and all the devilish paraphernalia Of
the imperial system, must go. For
that we must endure abstinence at
home; for that we must postpone the
comfortable years of increased wages
fairer prices, juster salaries, and a
greater equality in sharing the ma
terial good things of the earth: for
that we must refrain from obstructing
the national win in any way, whether
by action, or partisan criticism, or In
pique or peevishness, and for that we
must put down Instructors with an
iron hand; for that we must do all
we can to send as large an army as
possible to the front, to supply IL as
best as we can with cannon, howit-
zers, mortars, rifles, airpIanes, surgical
units, Y. M. G. A. huts, with munitions,
comforts, accessories of all kinds. I'M
til the day of victory and peace shall
rise.
In this uncertain world, where the
forces that control the destinies of
men are hidden in clouds impenetrable
to the human eye, where half of human
history seems to be fantastic tracery
such as schoolboy draws on a frosty
windowpane, where life seems to the
wisest "a tale told by an idiot" there
is but one thing needful, and that is
that where after careful thought, pain.
full and pray~ full consideration, men
convince themselves that they see the
road Of righteousness, they must take
that road and pursue it wherever il
may lead.
This is what the American peoplt
have done, and therefore with nm
troubled hearts on this Memorial day
in this famous year 1918, they ceIe
brate the memories of George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln. Let u.
remember them in thought, word anC
act.
