FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and Iustre.
or when it fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

ASK DEMPSEY TO
FIGHT JOHNSON
Ne gro Elk Champion
Comes Back Under
Simple Prison Life

And now a championship fight be-
tween Jack Dempsey and the former
dusky champion, jazz Johnson, is
proposed. Johnson viii complete his
sentence at Leavenworth federal
prison Saturday of this week. Capt.
J. M. McCaw, wealthy Los Angles
clubman, formerly of the British air
service, has wired Dempsey's man
ager. Jack Kearns, a guarantee OF
100000 for Dempsey's end of La
Dor Day bout with Johnson, the fight
ers to get half and the Los Angeles
post of disabled veterans half.
Kearns is reported to have replied
that a match could be arranged If
wanted, but that he did not believe
there was a demand for the bout.
Which may or may not be true.
Despite the disapproval Of many, par
ticularly in the South, Of matching
white and black men in the ring,
there are probably many on the 9th
err hand, who would pay well to see
the match, particularly since it has
been long time since the fight-hun-
CRY Pacific coast, formerly the tome
of pugilism, has staged champion
ship contest. There are reports that
Johnson has come back wonderfully
in a physical sense under the in!lu-
ence of plain living and regular work
in prison, and the he could put up
far better contest, now than when
he lost to Willard at Havana. How
ever, if Dempsey meets Johnson, he
viii lose much of his popularity,
which is by no means broad enough
even row to stand a heavy loss.

FATAL SMILES

It's poor psychology for a cham.
pion to smile just before the battle.
jim Jeffries smiled at Reno and lost
to Jack Johnson. Johnson smiled at
Havana and Jess Willard beat him.
Willard smiled at Toledo and got a
lacing.
Jack Dempsey scowled as he step.
ped out to meet the smiling French
man, Carpetier, and beat his man
down.
Carpenters smile pleased the mass
in the Jersey City saucer but it got
him nothing except a shattered
dream of winning the title.
This is not meant as an argument
against smile. They're fine in or
binary life, but the scowler in the
rings wins.

BILL. AND LACK

Bill Tilden and Jack Dempsey de-
Tended their title on the same day
and almost at the same hour.
While Dempsey was proving to the
world at Jersey City that those who
had doped Carpenter as having a
chance were wrong, Tilden, on the
tennis courts of Wimbledon, Eng
land, was discounting the prophecy
Of tennis fans that he had gone
stale and stood a chance to lose.
Dempsey, the champion of the
world, let Carpenter win the second
round of their battle decisively. Til
den lost a few sets to his opponent
at the start. But they were both
decidedly on their feet when the bell
rang. That's why they are greatest.

ARE WE DE-
GENERATING

The constant and unending stream
Of murders, robberies, pilferings,
breaches Of trust, divorces, scandals
and other chickering's of humanity
portrayed in the daily press lead ma
ny to the belief that the American
people as a race are deteriorating.
Certainly the Indictment is terrific
and appalling, with but limited cor
receive measures applied.
1t does not necessarily imply, tho
that the people as a whole are fail
ing to keep moral pace with the
times. 1t is probably no more than
the placing of emphasis upon the
weaker side of humanity, whereas
the better side attracts but little at
tention.
When the men and women of the
present generation were young there
was not so much publicity as there
is today The latest scandal wasn't
smeared all over the front page
of the morning paper, ready to be
served at the breakfast table. The
daily press did not go into every SEN
sational detail then, as is too often
done now.
The morbid curiosity was existent
then as much as now, but the press
was more considerate in the matter
of publishing nauseating details and
placing them before the young chill
dren of the day. It was not the Gus
tom of the time.
We have many millions more peo-
pie than we had fifty years ago, and
hence there is naturally more crime
to be expected and chronicled. Then,
too, the freedom of the press makes
it appear more numerous than it re-
ally is.
Regardless of the moral filth that
is paraded before the public day af-
ter day we do not believe the Amer
lean people are degenerating. A GER
tain noise-making and stench-produ-
NAitS AiiAAiOAAeS arc OuC Vic pCOplC DIS
class are clean minded as any peo-
pie on earth-more so than those of
some nations we might mention
A strengthening and Tightening
up of law and order would be bene-
fetal, and that will come in time, just
as it did in the old frontier days when
the six-gun ruled.
The law-abiding element will stand
just about a certain amount of skull
duggery and rufiianisn, and then it's
| patience will snap.
When the debris is cleared away
we will be morally cleaner, healthier
and better in every way.
The American mind rises above
continual state of debauchery.

AUTUMN

Oh, I love to go a-strolling in the
mellow days of Autumn
And wander through the wonder of
the woods;
When the maple leaves are radiant
in gold and crimson splendor
And the sumac shrubs put on their
scarlet hoods.
There is bitter-sweet a-twining on
the rail fence yonder
With it's bits of color flashing in
the green;
And there's golden-rod a-gleamfng
on the hillside just beyond it
And food of mellow sunshine in
between.
All, should landscape pointer ever
dare to reproduce on canvas
The splendor of the forest in the
Fall,
Busy critics with their carping cry
of "Overdone" would censure
The wonder and the glory of it all.
Oh Spring is SO disquieting, it sets
my pulses pounding
And Summer is the furnace of the
Gods;
But Autumn is a tonic and it forti-
fies my spirit
For the battle with King Winters
heavy odds!

FACING AN
OTHER MENACE

Of late we have noted dispatches
from abroad predicting the early
bankruptcy of the nations of Europe.
1t may even come to that extreme.
1t may provide a convenient method
OF wlplng out the millions of dollars
IN debts that are hanging over gov
ernmental heads. Certainly not many
on this side of the water would ex-
perlence any great measure of sur
prise
1t these governments go into bank
ruptcy, what will be the result?
Decentralization in their home coun-
tries and then one grand stampede
for the tabled land of milk and hon
ey-the United States.
Millions of frenzied men, pushing.
showing, fighting, tearing in mad
scramble to get into this country.
And shall we admit them indis-
criminately?
This paper votes MOI
We can worry along beautifully
without adding to those we now have.
We would be even better off if a.
bout two-thirds of them were sent
back to the places whence they came,
We certainly don't want any more
unless they come to US with clean
hands and with minds capable of re-
naming clean and loyal to this conn
try.
There is more danger of Europe
gong bankrupt than most people be-
lleve. 1t is not only a possibility. but
IS even probability.
1t, then, is incumbent upon Congress
and our immigration authorities to
close the gates to them all. unless
they can produce unimpeachable rec
ords as to character and demonstrate
to our entire satisfaction that thew
are IN such financial condition as to
become assets in our midst instead of
burdens and firebrands to the COM
munity
High sounding phrases of confid- |
ence do not make truth, and neither
does the waving of an indifferent
hand ward off danger.
This IS our country, and if we want
to keep it as such we must begin /
without delay rigid exclusion of !
that element that revels in a wild
eyed dream of an overturned govern
ment and free gold for all.
On with the paddock and in with
the key!

THE LEAVEN OF
HUMANITY

How do our great public leaders
rise to their high stations?
Is it by pure, unselfsh spirit of
service, by the possession of great
powers, or by strife and conquest,
born of personal ambition? We may
read the answer more or less clearly
in the recent utterances of three of
Americas foremost men.
Ex-President Taft said few
weeks ago as he was about to be-
come chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States: at has
been the ambition of my life to be
Chief Justice; but now that it is
gratified | tremble to think whether
I can worthily fill the position and
be useful to my country"
Nearly at the same time General
Charles G. Dawes said: 81 am &C
cepting the position of Director OF
the Budget only with the idea that
the patriotism of the Bureau chiefs
and of the country as whole can be
aroused to meet the emergency as il
was to meet that OF four years ago.
From President Harding only a
few days ago came these words: al
| only had the wisdom of Senator
Root, with my patience | might Elk.
pect to do great things
There is but one conclusion from
the foregoing. These men put serv-
ice above selfshness, and the com.
mon good above personal ambition
Yet no other three men in the worlc
have greater power or WELD greater
influence over human destiny.

HARD CASE

literally torn off recently by a bolt
Of lightning
She was sitting somewhere near
her fance, it seems; and for some

fractured at the same time and a
piece of the corset steel was driven
through his side into his liver. APP

what had happened to him so unex-
