Bessarabia is at the conveyance OF

Among the most narrowing Of the In

the fourteenth century. They cane
across the volga under Batu, grandson
Of that Mongol Charlemagne, JenghiE

story Of their depredatiOns in Bes-

atrocities similar TO others which are
recorded in narrowing detail. At

picture of peaceful, pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravages
of the World war, furnishes a pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
A Moldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-cOlored curtains
and hanglngs were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows of yellow
gOurds, the raising of which is one OF
the minor Bessaraban Industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each ortho-
odOx home had its altar, facing east
ward, sacred bread beneath the icon,
and cOrnstalks placed in the shade OF
a cross before il. Even the affairs
were colOrful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The Bes-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed, and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants of Bessarabia. Rou-
mania. it will be recalled. was formed
by the union of Moldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia, with its large Moldavian pop
ulation. long has been the "Irredenta"

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darker and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. II
makes or mars the face. When II
fades, turns gray or streaked. just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances It's appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients at a small cost. all
ready for use. It Is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre OF
your hair. .
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because Il
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell II has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with II and draw this through
the hair. taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation II becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. IL Is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.

In snow-that is. there is a great diff
ference between country snow and
city snow.
We may not have snow this Christ
mas, but Wen just suppose we do.
Isn't a good, old lively snowstorm
great? Perhaps IL is one of these lazy
snowstorms, with the big, white flakes
just floating down like feathers and
slowly turning the roads and roofs to
white, like coat Of good white paint.
Maybe there will be enough of II to
make good coastlng on the hills and
good sleighing on the roads.
And, by the way, do you know
there are boys In the big cities who
have never seen sleigh? Because a
sleigh Is getting to be a scarce article
in the cities. You see, as soon as
little snow comes the street-cleaning
department gets busy and sweeps IL
up, before 1t gets a chance to melt
into slush.
In the country the winter wheat
needs 1t, and the ground takes care of
1t. But In the city II just means slop
and slush. So they sweep it up and
carry II away and uncover the ugly
pavement as soon as they can.
But they let you keep your snow in
the country. When a warm wind
comes along II will pack fine, and you
can have your snow-men, and your
snow forts, and YOUR SNOWFALL battles.
(Only please don't use your artillery
on older folks, or girls, or me.)

of the blizzardy kind, with the wind

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,

urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-

Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
OF Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been useI
for generations to clean elogged-kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.

Whitewater drink which everyone should

they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who

PALESTINE: PICMY LAND
WITH A GIANT HISTORY

The historic Holy Land where moved
the Nazarene whose birth will be COM
memorated around the world this
week. Is characterized as "a tiny lit
tie country" by viscount James Bryce.
In communication TO the National
Geography society:
Though the travellers hand books
prepare him 10 find Palestine small,
II surprises him by being smaller than
he expected. Taking II as the region
between the Mediterranean on the
west and the Jordan and Dead sea on
the east, from the spurs of Lebanon
and Hermon on the north to the desert
al Beersheba on the south, il is only
ITO miles long and 90 TO 90 broad-that
Is TO say, ii is smaller than New
Jersey.
"Of this region large parts did not
: really belong to ancient Israel. Their
hold on the southern and northern dis
tricts was but slight. while in the
southwest, a wide and rich plain along
the Mediterranean was occupied by
the warlike Philistines. who were
sometimes more than match for the
Hebrew armies. Israel had, In fact,
little more than the hill country, which
lay between the Jordan on the east
and the maritime plain on the west.
King David. In the days of his power,
looked down from the hill cities Of
Benjamin. just north Of Jerusalem, up
on Philistine enemies, only 25 miles
off, on the one SIDE and looked across
the Jordan TO Moabite enemies, about
as far Off, on the other.
Nearly all the events in the history
Of Israel that are recorded in the Old
Testament happened within territory
no bigger than the state Of Connect
cut, whose area Is 1890 square miles |;
and into hardly any other country has
there been crowded from the days Of
Abraham till our own, so much history
that Is to say, so many events that
have been recorded and deserve to be
recorded in the annals Of mankind
Nor Is II only that Palestine Is
really small country. The traveller
constantly feels as he moves about
that IL Is small country. From the
! heights. q few miles north of Jeru-
salem. he sees. looking northward, a
far-off summit carrying snow for eight
months In the year. Ii Is Hermon,
nearly 10000 feet high-Hermon,
whose fountains feed the rivers of
Damascus.
"But Hermon is outside the terri
tory of Israel altogether, standing in
the land of the Syrians; so. too, II is
Of Lebanon. We are apt to think Of
that mountain mass as within the
country. because II also is frequently
mentioned In the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges Of Leb-
anon also rise beyond the frontiers
OF Israel, lying between the Syrians Of
Damascus and the Phoenicians of the
West.
perhaps 1t is because the maps
from which children used to learn
Bible geography, were on large scale,
that most of us have failed to realize
how narrow were the limits within,
which took place, all those great do
ings that I'LL the books of Samuel and
Kings. Just In the same way the
classical scholar who visits Greece Is
surprised to find that so small ter
ritory sufficed for so many striking in
cidents and for the careers of SO
many famous men,"
