Mr.. J. A. McCrea, well-known

Daddy and Grandpa on account of his
white hair, and who darkened it with
a homemade mixture, recently made
the following statement:
Anyone can prepare simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair and make it soft and glossy. To
half-pint of water add l ounce of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and Il ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought al

Heart Problems

= Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am sem
s'ior in high school. For several years
l have had a certain girl friend. This
year cousin of hers came to town to
enter business college. Another girl
friend and went out together and met
him. He walked home with us and
from then on took us out riding in his
sedan.
Both OF our families do not approve
OF him and have asked us to stop 60
ing with him. We admit he got to be
rather personal after knowing us only
a short time. We stopped accepting
his invitations which were extended
every day, but we can find nothing
wrong with him and he has a nice car.
We both like to have a good time.
Please advise us if it is wrong to
go with him against the rules of our
mothers and fathers?
BRUNETTE AND BLONDE.
OF course it is wrong to disobey
your parents. Trust their judgment
in this case and do not do dishonor-
able thing in order to go riding in a
sedan.
Dear Mrs. thompson How should
girl refuse or accept when asked
for the next dance?

Say that you would be delighted TO
have the next dance if you wish to &C

the gentleman that you are engaged
for the next one. If this is not true,
and you wish to refuse, excuse your
self politely and suggest that you have
one together later in the evening.

Although it was definitely known be-

so TO stimulate buying on the part of

market into wild jumps in price.
Leading holders of wheat were
quick to take advantage of the tran
silent rise of the market, and began to
unload while there was a good oppor-
