sang a song in Chinese and interpreted II
a. meaning Il love YOU all !" On the way

State with the request that through the
children all parents in the school district
be asked to JOIN in the movement. The
results have been most gratifying. In
many districts pledges have been returned
from everSA parent In the school district
and In some districts the children went
outside Of the families represented IN the
school and secured pledges from every
man and every woman voter IN the school
district. These pledges now in the hands
of the committee amount to many thou
sand. Another step taken by the commit
tee was To present the pledge to every
member of every woman's club in the.
State and the response from the club
women of Delaware has been practically
unanimous. ;.
The committee then presented the
matter to every minister OF every church
in Delaware. and reports show that the
ministers and the church members have
taken hold of the idea with much interest
and zeal Many sermons have been preach
cd and many lecturers have been gwen
in the churches and every indication Is
that the positive trend of mind In the
State of Delaware at this time is TO demand
clean elections. This it is thought is large
" due to the fact that women coming
into the ballot box for the first time are
insisting that every vote In the ballot
box shall be rs clean as their own. Up to
this time there has been but one positive
refusal on the part of any candidate in
the State to sign the clean election agree
ment, but others have delayed, sending
in their agreement. Those who have not
sent in their agreement will be announced
bv the committee on Saturday, it was
stated today.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turn
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
Cd, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound You will get large bottle Of
this old-time recipe improved by the ad-
dition Of other ingredients, at very little
cost. Everybody uses this preparation
now, because no one can possibly tell that
you daIkened your hair, as it docs it so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning the gray HAIR dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

Add a little knowledge to little morei Soon you'n be far wiser than you were before.
 Of course there couldn't be such a
 school in the Green Forest without news of it spreading very fast. News travels 1 fast in the Green Forest and over the Green Meadows, for the little peop>s wh 1 live there are great gossips. Besides, the 1 Merry Little Freezes. of Old Motherl"est Wind who play there every day, delight in carrying news.
 So it was not at all surprising that Striped Chipmunk heard all about olu Mother Natures school. At first he he'd ! thought it rather joke that Peter Rap- | bit should be going to school But when he heard that his own cousins, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Chatterer

DREADED FOR NIGHT TO COME, DECLARES
 CLARENCE MITCHELL

There was such pressure around my heart that it palptated terribly and I had hard lump in my stomach all the time. Dizzy spells often came on me and every day l had to take laxative as I was badly constipated. My nerves were all on edge so that any sudden noise made me jump and I was so restless l dreaded for bedtime to come for l would rather stay up and walk the floor than go to bed and lie there for hours unable to sleep a wink. Every morning l al ways had sour taste in my mouth and felt so weak and sluggish it was a job for me to get around at all.
 But I don't feel that way now for Tanlac has made me all over again and I am feeling better than I have in years. in fact I don't know when I ever felt better. Eat why, everything tastes so good that my biggest trouble is trying to satisfy my appetite. and I am not trou- bled with palpitation. gas or bloating any more. I don't have to take laxatives now for I am entirely relieved of constipa- tion and the bad taste iI my mouth has gone. My nerves have steadied down so that now l sleep ten solid hours every night and when morning comes I am ready for a hard days work My wife has also taken Tanlac and it has helped her just as much as it has me and she joins me in praising it."
