GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into q
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton II your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get q
bottle Of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition OF other In
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not
sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because 1t does II 30
naturally. SO evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy.
soft and luxuriant.
aThis preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MAlLOCH
MY MAN AM ME.

MY MAN an me fer forty years
WI Have hiked 1t up the hill,
An side by side, an bound an tied,
AS was our youthful will.
He come upon me like dream
OF all hoped to be
An so we stood, fer Ill er good
Made one, my man an me.
Ii was rosy way we went
When life was in the dawn;
l heard the birds, heard the words
A young wife feeds upon.
His arm was round about my waist.
He led me tenderly-
Twas long ago we travelled SO
The road, my man an me.
Though still we travel side by side.
We travel now apart
For older wives live lonely lives.
An hungry is the heart.
Twas long ago felt the kiss
In youth he gave so free
Still side by side, but years divide
Us two, my man an me.
Yet once he held my hand in his;
We knelt beside a cross,
Together knelt. together felt
An shared q common loss.
An there was four instead OF two
Ger so IL seemed 10 be)
Yes, there was fOur-the babe bore,
My God, my man an me.
The river yon is covered now
With Winters ice an snow;
Upon its breast no lilies rest
Where lilies used to blow.
But underneath the Winters ice
The waters flow as free
As in the Spring we heard 'em sing
Their song, my man an me.
So age may sit upon his lips
An cool the speech Of youth;
An yet know he promised so
To love, an spoke the truth.
The Winter days Of life may chill
The ways Of such as we;
But meath the cold the love of old
Still warns my man an me.

SYRIA: UNDER FRENCH
AND ZIONIST RULE

Syria, for the control Of tie northern
part Of which the Turkish National
lists are threatening to fight the French
mandate-holders, and the southern part
Of which is settling quietly under Zion
list and British control, is another name
for "the Holy Land" for under Tur
key 1t comprised the region extending
from the Taurus mountains to Egypt,
and from the desert to 1.-The Great
Sea-"
Its population numbers about three
and half millions, Of Semitic origin.
speaking the Arabic language. and yet
with so many races intermingled
through the centuries of the various
conquests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any one race as
their own.
Greek, Roman and European crusad-
er have all blended with the ancient
Semitic stock TO produce the Syrians
Of today, whom Lord Cromer, In his
memoirs, termed "the cream of the
East"
In Syria was the one green spot of
Turkey-the Lebanon mountains. In
ancient times the mountains were ev-
erywhere covered with forests. The
cedars Of Lebanon not only furnished
timber for the building Of Solomon's
temple In Jerusalem, but the kings of
Egypt annually fioated large RATS of
logs from the Syrian coast to supply
the demands Of the cities OF. the Nile
This constant demand from foreign
lands, together with the lack Of any
system Of reforestatson, has practl-
cally denuded the mountains Of the
whole land.
Once more TO cover the mountains
and hills with pine and cedar and
oak woull be a simple task jf carried
on systematically, and under the new
control this work Is now being under
taken. The chief enemies in the last
few years. of reforestation by nature
were the herds Of goats. which every
spring roamed over the whole country
and devoured every green thing. The

CORK: MOST IRISH CITY
IN IRELAND

Cork, third city of Ireland, con-
siderable part Of which was recently
destroyed by fire, bears a very super
ficlal resemblance to our own New
York In that its nucleus Is situated
on an island EMBODIED by two arms
of a river where It's waters meet
bay. The comparison soon becomes
a contrast, however, for Cork Is city
of less than $4,000 souls, has few pub
lie buildings or thoroughfares OF I'M
portance. and was built on a low,
swampy site instead of on the rocky
ribs Of Mother Earth.
The stream that EMBODIED Cork be-
fore Il grew across its watery bar
riers fs the River Lee which rises III
a little lake to the north. From
tiny island In the lake came the piOus
hermit, st. Fin Barre, who established
a monastery on the island at the
mouth Of the river In the seventh CEN
fury, and from this start the present
city has grown. Both the Catholic
and Protestant cathedrals of Cork are
dedicated to this early Irish saint.
At the head of one of the finest
harbors In Ireland-a land-locked cove
whose waters are as placid as those
of q lake-Cork has been subject since
its establishment to attacks by sea
marauders. Invading Danes burned
the city in s21 and again in 1912,
and after the second destruction
founded on the site Danish trading
post. The Irish, again in control of
the city, submitted to the English In
1172, who for many years maintained
q precarious foothold.
The Irish eventually regained Cork
not by force Of arms but by "infiltra-
ton" for before a great while the
one-time English post was the most
Irish city In Ireland, its government
entirely In the hands Of the people
Of Erin.
A tragedy overlook Cork the year
Columbus discovered America, and
was visited most heavily on its lord
mayor. During that year the city re-
ceived and assisted Perkin Warbeck
pretender to the English throne. The
mayor lost his head and the city Its
charter.
Corks wonderful harbor has given
II a maritime Importance since early
days. Recognition Of this fact is seen
In the title of admiral Of the port
bestowed on the lord mayor of Cork
by Edward Nv and held by the lords
MAYOR TO the present day
Queenstown, at the head of the outer
harbor, and practically part of Cork,
Is the port of call and departure for
transatlantic liners. This fact has
made Cork a city OF sadness to many,
for perhaps a million or more men
and women, In largest part mere boys
and girls forced by economic pressure
TO emigrate, have there hidden good
by with set faces and streaming eyes
to the land they love so well.
While there are practically no points
Of great interest I'm Cork, close by is
one of the best known and most fire.

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
BYE. A. Walker

HANGING in the offices ef one of
l. L the best known business mes in
this country is this motto:
You cannGt get out of a man what
God Almighty did not put into him.
You must suit the man TO the job;
not the job TO the man.
Perhaps there is a simpler and
more direct way of putting ii than
that. Perhaps you can do il better. If
you can, there is job waiting for
you in the Office of the man who first
wrote il because he is man always
on the hunt for writer's who can say
things with a punch.
There are good many young men
who try to succeed in lines for which
they are not at all fitted.
Ambitious parents often insist upon
mapping out the life work of their
children when they would do much
more kindly thing to let the boys and
girls follow their own inclinations.
A tree that is bent is never so good
as a tree that grows according TO ma
ture.
Thousands Of excellent carpenters
have been spoiled in the making Of
poor doctors and the world is worse
off for the experiments.
Almost every child shows an In
clinaton toward some special thing.
1t enjoys work of particular kind
when other efforts are drudgery.
The wise parent will seek to find
out what that inclination is and offer
every aid to the highest endeavor.
A child's mind is not essentially
different from the mind Of a grown
up. Both offer resistance to doing
what is unpleasant and irksome.
More than that Municipalities are
just as distinct and different each
from the other as one kind of matter
differs from another.
They have different uses and differ
ent applications.
To attempt TO drive nail with a
sponge would be just as fruitless, II
not as destructive, as to try to wash
window with a hammer.
To try to make boy who loves me-
chanics and wants TO study machin-
cry into a professor of Greek is to
misapply his talents and diminish his
efficiency.
Every child should be studied.
There is no greater and no more
interesting process in the world than
the development of the human mind.
The baby with his fist in his eye
is the seed of the man that is to be
Put it in the wrong soil, give ii too
much or too little mental food and
water and the final product will be
distorted and twisted
Put IL i'm the right surroundings
give ii as far as is proper its way
and Ii will grow into a strong and
sturdy plant; a source of JOY to itself
and you.
Don't plan too much for your chill
dren.
Let them have a little Of their own
way in following their inclinatlons
as to what they shall be and do.
Remember that you cannot get cut
of boy or man what God Almighty
did not put into him.

this globe a comparatively homely
