SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed with Sulphur II Brings
Back Its Beautiful Lustre
at Once.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of youthful appear
ance. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
a hundred fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pounI," which is merely the oid-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara-
ton, because 1t darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides. no one can possibly
tell, as 1T darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten sponge or soft
brush with IL, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, its natural color is restored
and 1t becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trous, and you appear years younger.

While on the subject the bankers
should explain the unusual conditions

The Return to Normally

Let me add. however, that while
/ do not intend to be the Congress,
do intend to be President. shall
never attempt to invade the province
or usurp the powers Of any other de-
partment of the Government. and !
shall not permit any other depart
ment, individual, or group of indi-
viduals to usurp or control the pow
ers that will be mine under the Con-
stitution of the United States"
So said Warren G. Harding to a
Tennessee audience and to the ma
ton. This is his pledge to the high
ONCE to which he expects and the
nation expects him to ascend March
4 next.
The demarcations which he makes
are the ones intended by the Con-
stitution to be followed by both the
executive and legislative departments
of the government. There has been
no reason and there will be no rea-
son why one branch Of the govern
ment should invade the province or
usurp the powers and duties Of the
other. The famous checks and bal
ances of the system do not mean that
in any sense. They are restraints,
not incentives to aggression.
There is a proper relationship be-
tween these two departments and in
deed among all of them which it is
entirely possible to maintain, and
which can be maintained if all de-
partments work to that end. The
Constitution makers feared the very
thing Of which the present admins
tration has been so glazing an ex-
ample, namely. the undue growth in
power Of one Of the governmental
departments. To endeavor to avoid
that thing. they devised the checks
and balances. The system has its
faults and has more than once re-
suited in a deadlock, but when the
government functions normally I'M
der the Constitution, they serve their
purpose admirably.
Senator Harding promised a re-
turn to normally at the very out
set Of his campaign and the promise
has now been reconfirmed.

Uncle Sam will DO HE Part

The creed Of Clay and Lincoln is
very much alive today. as Governor
Coolidge takes occasion to remind
the Kentuclxians; also that America
has always done It's full part in
world service and always will.
This attempt now being made to
have it appear that America will be
remiss in her duty and false to her
obligations to her neighbors and as
sociates unless she accepts the doc
trine Wilson laid down. and the ways
and means he has provided, Is
bunk" pure and simple.
Not only that but every American
acquainted with the history Of his
country ought to know that it is an
attempt to deceive. Unless all signs
fail a humping majority will express
themselves to that effect, Nov. 2.
Any other conclusion would be an
insulting reflection on Uncle Sam.

Some National Problems

Europe owes us vast sums of
money, about $4,000, 900. 900, Govern
or Coolidge said. She hasn't the cash
with which to pay; she has OILY
products which she is striving to
make under the cheapest possible
conditions and to sell at the best
possible figures. American markets
are the best in the world, so Europe
wishes naturally. to sell as much to
America as she can. But America
has her own products to sell. both at
home and abroad. and Europe has no
money with which to buy them.
How is America to get her pay
from Europe? How is she to build
up her foreign trade? Most import
ant of all, how is she to maintain
the good will of the nations if she
becomes known as the creditor of all
and the debtor of none? '''' -
Problems like these outweigh some
that are receiving too much atten-
ton in the present campaign.

The Coal Strike

Queer of coal for others faces a sit

fully appreciate.
A very promising feature is that
the strike is beginning with noticea-
bly, little acrimony. Should the
struggle be long, however, this atti-
tude would doubtless change, but for
the present 1t holds out hope Of con-
ciliatory settlement. So does the fur

small one. That small majority
