For a while. as they walked along,
neither spoke. The silence became
quite strained. At last she said in
hard, tense voice:
you don't care whether I'm happy
or not, do you? We've been married
nearly week and now you don't
care whether I'm happy or not"
"My angel, do" he said miserably.
"But 1 simply cannot permit you to do
that. 1t is asking too much"
Two tears rolled down her checks
one for each cheek.
you don'tl You don'tl" she cried,
biting her lip tearfully. you don't
care whether I'm happy or not!"
1t was more than his tender, loving
heart could stand. He gulped guiltIly.
"Oh. very well. so ahead If you like"
he said gruffly.
And while she took out her powder
puff and powdered her nose and vi
cinity right on the crowded pavement,
he turned his back and looked into the
show windows of piano shop SO no
one would know he was with her.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Grayl Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair TO its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and nttrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing Mt home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other In
gredients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at q time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Ady.

GOT NEW IDEA OF RELIGION
Colonel Roosevelt Admitted He Had
Taken to Heart the Simple Faith
of the Doughboy.

Colonel Roosevelt was a deeply re-
ligious man. and one evening at Oyster
Bay he said to an editor:
"How this world war has clarified
our ideasl 1t has clarified my own
ideas about religion.
Before the war 1 was inclined to
agree with the philosopher who said:
Religion is the experience consti-
tuted by those thoughts, feelings and
actions which spring from mans sense
of dependence upon power or powers
controlling the universe. and which
have as their center of interest the
cosmlc fortune of values
'But how different is the definition
of religion that the doughboy has flung
us from the trenches, and how heartily
is our agreement when he says:
Religion is betting your life on the
existence of God"

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, April 2-While there
now exists no effective control of the
maximum price of wheat or wheat
flour" the United States Food Admin
istration Grain Corporation intends to
do everything in its power to reduce
prices to the government buying level,
when "the new enormous crop begins
to move into the market within ninety
days" according to statement by
Julius II. Barnes, president of the cor
porat!on.
Referring TO the fact that recent
continuous advances in wheat prices
paid in western markets apparently
contradict statements from the Indus
trial Stabilization Board at Washing
ton that lower food prices could be
expected in the near future, Mr..
Barnes said: "The reason for this
seems to be that current deliveries of
wheat from the farm have been insult
ficient for milling needs"
He added that although the Grain
Corporation has resold from its accu-
mulated holdings within the last two
weeks practically 40,000,Oo0 bushels
of wheat, the price has been only mod
erately held in check"
Fortunately" he continued, "Amer-
lea has n surplus OF rye and barley
and oats, and in order to relieve the
strain of foreign buying upon our
markets, we have advised the neutral
governments that America will be un-
able to furnish any more wheat or
wheat flour to, them; that they are
free to buy these other grains in our
market, but must send their ships for
wheat to other sources of supply.
also commencing next week, the
Grain Corporation will buy for ship
ment in relief to liberated countries
in Eprope, rye flour, corn flour and
barley flour and will thereby reduce
its current purchases of wheat flour.
"Should all these factors fail to con-
troll the price of flour in the United
States at a reasonable level, then we
shall relax import restrictions and al
low wheat and wheat flour to enter
the United States from Canada, Ar
gentina and Australia.
'Jn many foods there has been II
sharp fall in price since the armistice.
Indeed in some foods this fall has
been so severe as to jeopardize the
preparation for next years supply in
those articles. and 1t is to be hoped
our people Will, along with the fall in
butter and eggs and milk and cheese,
take advantage of the sharp decline
in beans and peas, canned fish, canned
vegetables and in cereal flours other
than wheat flours, such as rye flour,
rice flour, corn products and oats
products"
