hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-u
preparation improved by the addition

little cost, at drug stores, known as
- Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful APP
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth s Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does-it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.-Adv.

Orville Wright, who today enters upon
his 50th year, is the most eminent aero
naut of the United States and man
whose name is historic because of his
pioneering work with his brother, vii
but Wright, in navigation of the air, as
early as l903-l905 He was born and
brought up in Dayton, O., where he still
resides. After leaving school he turned
to a light of invention and work with
machinery in a modest way. All the time
he and his brother were wrestling with
the problem of aerial flight, and in the
course of time, managed to construct a
machine, embodying the fundamental
structure of the aeroplane of today,
which they transported to North Caro-
lima and, in secrecy there, tested. Like
many inventors in the United States,
the Wrights had to go to Europe for due
recognition of their great discovery, and
for capital with which to make it useful.
Orvile Wright, the surviving brother,
is now wealthy man, but continues to
live modestly and to concentrate his at
tention on his favorite pursuit, invention
and experimentation.

Bennington county senators during the
past % years have been from Benning-
ton. During the same period the vii
lage of North Bennington has fur
nished four, senators while the 10 times
larger village of Bennington has had
only three. The town of Manchester
has had twice as many senators as the
village of Bennington in the past quar-
ter of a century. The rest of Benning-
ton county has no good reason to feel
that Bennington has taken more than
its share of the county offices. Other
large towns in the state can hardly say
the same.

Chittenden county politics will be
real hot when it gets around to voting.
With four senators to be selected from
the county Burlington already has four
active candidates and there are four
candidates from the towns. A just d.
vision would give two to Burlington
and two to the towns. As Burlington
has taken more than her share in the
past suggestion has been made by some
prominent citizens from the country
that the towns vote for their four can
didates and leave Burlington entirely
out in the cold.-Burlington Clipper.
Burlington is clearly not so modest
as is Bennington. Two years ago,
through the outcome of sharp contest,
both senators from Bennington county
were citizens of Bennington. Because
of that incident Bennington has this
year refrained from entering even one
candidate in the senatorial race, though
this town has half the population of
the county and might with reason
claim one of the senatorships for each
biennial period. The village of Ben
nington has one-third of the population
of the county yet only three of the

It is hard to justify the imposition
of head tax of So on all Canadians
coming into this country at this late
day. At the time it was imposed the
two nations were at war and wished to
discourage any shifting of population
from one country to the other to evade
military service. But that is all passed
and United States should no longer
discourage Canadians from coming into
this country. The Weekly Courier of
Digby, n. s., truly says: "The people
on this side of the line are the equals
in every respect of those across the
border and to be classed with Asiatics
and other undesirables is to say the
least most humiliating The United
States has little to gain by this tax
and to impose it upon a friendly peo-
pie. I"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

By a vote of 40 to AZ the 90 men,
bers of the house of representatives in.
Tennessee ratified on Wednesday the
10Th amendment TO the federal con
stitution which grants suffrage to 25.-
! 100000 American women. Undoubted-
ly this is the greatest constitutional
change made to the great charter of
representative government in world
history. The prohibition amendment
had wider effect as it touched the NOR
ais of 1O500O,OO0 people, but it was
an act of morality only and did not
grant political power to any. The 18th
amendment is the only other amend
ment granting the right to vote and
that affected less than 1000, 900 people.
That amendment enfranchised ignor-
ance and brute force. THE 10Th
amendment enfranehises intelligent,
sympathetic and self sacrificing wom-
anhood; the mother who has protected
the children, the teacher who has
taught them, the sister often the supe-
womanhood which has prayed for the
erring, toiled for the soldier in the
camp and field and borne more than her
share in the maintenance of social and
religious life. Never before in the his
tory of the world has such large and
worthy body been endowed with the
full rights and privileges of citizenship
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of
the National American Woman Suffrage
association says:
'''It was in 1878 that the amendment
was presented to the 45th congress by
the national in the form in which it
was finally passed. Twenty-Five con
crosses were to have chance at it in
that identical form. Before twenty
two congresses the women of the ma
tional were to stand and plead for jas
tice of those twenty-five congresses the
Republicans dominated both branches
in eleven and the Democrats in
oeratic and the senate was Republican.
In this revelation of well-divided, long
continued opposition lies, perhaps, the
explanation of why women smile some
what cynically today at all party
claims to a monopoly of merit in for
warding the suffrage program. Never
was measure so systematically OPP
posed, never one whose progress was so
vehemently disputed, inch by inch.
GAS with its passage, so with the
ratification. Delay and obstacles have
been the constant portion of the Ma
tional Suffrage association in securing
the needed SO states. Because of the
failure of the Goth congress to pass
the amendment, the measure had to goI
to the state legislatures in an off
year. Only ten states could ratify
in regular session. More than twenty
six special sessions have had to be
called to secure the full complement of
ratification
The greatness of the victory is re-
vealed in this brief statement of the
struggle to bring it about. To win
right so Systematically opposed and so
vehemently disputed clearly demon
strates woman s ability to work with
men for the protection and develop
ment of American government.
This great act is not to be feared
because it is an act of simple justice.
1t does not commit the government to
an unknown power, it simply gives to :
