TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Youngl Bring Back the Natural
Color Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into n
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and luxuriant. just few
applications will prove revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get bottle of Wyeth s
Sage and SULPHUR Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth 8 Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it SO naturally, so even

brush with it and draw this through your

BRYAN THE EXCEPTION.

William Jennings Bryan is Ameri-
ca s greatest exception. No other man
has remained for so long time a
leader of public sentiment. Had one
told the children of 1896, when Bryan
first came into the limelight, that their
children would see the same man in the
national conventions of his political
party valiantIy fighting for his ideals
he would have been called a false pro-
phet Such thing is against all the
rules of human life At that time
Bryan was fighting such men as Will
liam Mckinley, Vice President Hobart,
Mark Hanna, Thomas b. Reed. Allison,
Quay and Spooner, all of whom are
dead. Mr. Bryan was defeated by these
men the same as he has been defeated
in two succeeding presidential cam
paigns. He is the one exception in
public life of those days.
In 1912 he controlled the choice of
his national party convention and de-
feated Champ Clark, who though alive,
is of little political power now. It is
said this exceptionally beaten man can
veto the nomination of anyone of the
twenty-one men now seeking the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency.
No other American can exert such an
influence in party politics.

DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS.

4 despatch from Chicago states that
there is a well-confrmed report there
that the railroad labor board is having
some difficulty in arriving at its wage
decision. 1t appears to be the mathe-
NAUTICAL difficulty of trying to reduce
three decisions to one. This creates
what might be called an embarrassing
situation, from which, if it persists, it
would not be easy to find the way out
The only solution that can be thought
Of at the moment would be to arbitrate
for the official arbitrator, but the rail
road act provides for no such emerg-
ency.
The group system of representation
appears to have some defects. There
are nine members of the board, three
representing the railroad workers, three
he railroad corporations and three the
public. The award wanted by the rep
resentatives of the railroad employees
is considered altogether too high by
the corporation and public representa-
tives. The corporation representatives
are holding out against the award OF
the public representatives which
though lower than that fixed by the
labor group, is considered too high
also.
The situation, as thus disclosed
points to the necessity of the board 5
concentration of effort upon the propo-
sition of the public group. 1t is reas-
enable to assume that this group would
be least disposed to look at the whole
matter from the point of view of a
special interest. They are there to
look after the public interest and, in
asmuch as the owners of railroad Sc
| curities have a sure thing in the pro
visions of the railroad act, in the
amount of the return on their invest
ments, their representatives on the
board might well consider it worth
while to take a chance on the recon-
mendation of the public group.
