turn HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when q
youthful appearance is Of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
tn troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores self the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" It
is very popular, because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it, and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance which is so at

Pennsylvania's Primary.

The result OF the primary in Pennsylvania is
rot yet absolutely determined, because Of the
closeness OF the contest between Clifford Pinchot
and George E. Alter, candidates for governor, al
though the secretary Of the state committee an
nounces that Pinchot has won II this result is
correct, it may be accepted as defeat for what
has been the smoothcst working machine ever
set up in the country, with the possible excep-
ton OF Tammany Hall.
Since the days OF the civil war, when Simon
Cameron established himself as the dominating
force in Pennsylvania politics. down through
Matthew Stanley Quay and Boies Penrose, the
matter OF nomination for high Office in the state
has been one generally settled in the council
chamber Of the BOSS" Local combines have
been set up and have Aourished at Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia, but these as rule have been
subservient to the great state organization. With
the death Of Penrose and the lack Of central
figure around which to rally, the field was left
fairly open. Clifford Pinchot announced himself
last spring as an independent candidate, and has
made vigorous campaign on progressive lines.
He had the support OF the element in Philadel-
phia opposed to the Wares, and the same ele-
ment at Pittsburgh, while his name appealed
very potenty to the farmers and small town
voters of the state.
His nomination in no sense will weaken the
party's hold on Pennsylvania, and as it is &C
companied by the denomination OF George Whar-
ton Pepper to succeed himself in the senate tor
the unexpircd Penrose term and by David A.
Reed Of Pittsburgh to succeed the late Prilan-
der C. Knox, the whole ticket seems to be a
strong one.

The "Sheik" in Exile.

Napoleon and some others OF those history
calls great deemed themselves above the law No
similar claim Of immunity should be allowed the
monarchs of the moving picture world. Yet
neither fear Of the law nor respect for it inter-
fcred with the Mexican marriage ceremony by
which Rudolph Valentino acquired second wife
1--WE were madly in love and couldn't wait
any longer" this Lothario OF the movies explains.
This alone indicates the lack of restraint which
has cast so much discrcdit on certain other men,
bers Of the film craft.
A short time ago Valentino was granted an
interlocutory decree of divorce from his first
wife;-th will not become final for year Printed
at the bottom of every nterlocutory decree is the
following warning: "This is not judgment of
divorce. The parties are still husband and wife
and will be such until final Judgment is en-
tered year from the entry Of this nterlocutory
judgment"
1t is said that Valentino and his latest bride
have remained on the Mexican side of the border
since the ceremony. Perhaps they are awaiting
some expensive legal arrangement that will
avoid the ordinary consequences of their fouting
of the law. Whatever the outcome may be, de-
cent public sentiment may be counted upon to
make itself felt in this as in other cases.
The pity is that worthy members Of the
"movie" family should fall under any shadow by
reason of such conduct as that of Valentino and
others similarly careless OF convention and NOR
ality. Their great industry has a vast field OF
usefulness and tremendous responsibility, but
all its members are handicapped by its Valen-
tnos.

Rounding Up the War Craftcrs.

Attorney General Daugherty is now fairly
well commissioned TO so after and clean up any
scandal or crookedness that may have developed
in connection with government contracts during
the war, and which may be uncovered. The busi-
ness should be taken up with determination TO
make clean sweep, and to settle beyond dispute
all charges and suspicious. 1t is not political
crusade, and should not be so construed.
When the government went into the war, It
went pell nell. with no great amount OF prepara-
ton. Contracts for billions OF dollars worth OF
supplies were hastily entered into, many OF them
with little knowledge on either side as to exactly
what was wanted or how il was to be done. Out
OF this confusion came great waste OF public
funds, and very likely some dishonesty. Charges
have been freely made that many millions were
looted by inscriptions contractors The attor-
ney general has stated that probably $l92,O00,0OO
is recoverable if suit be promptly brought. That
is small item, when compared to the billions
the war cost US, yet it is worth while going after
The main point is to settle the charges as to
extensive corruption and dishonesty. Liquida-
ton OF war contracts disclosed lamentable lack
of business method in the course of the govern
ment. Claims filed by contractors show a dis
position to extort as much of the public funds
as might be, and inquiries made by congress
show that the administration was lavish to the
last degree in its treatment Of those with whom
it had business dealings. How much of the
money expended was without warrant Of law
may eventually be known, if the inquiry is pur-
sued with sufficient vigor.
Men who honestly dealt with the govern
ment who contracted fairly and delivered with
cxactness, should not be left under the cloud of
obloquy that is raised by the general accusation
A division should)be made between these and the
others, that the world may be given to under
stand that the business men OF America are not
a bunch OF conscienceless bandits, organized to
fleece their country in its time of need, but that
they did patriotically support all efforts to win
the war. When the dishonest contractors are
uncovered and set before the world in their true
light, the investigation will have been OF public
service Or, if it be shown that the alleged crook
cdness is but the result of carelessness, ignorance
or incapacity on part Of government officials,
that fact should be made so clear that there will
be no doubt left as to responsibility for the con-
ditions now complained Of. 1t is good time to
recall another remark OF Grants: "Lct no guilty
man escape"

mot Voting"

On nine Of thirteen important issues before
the United States senate in recent months Sena-
tor Hitchcock Of Nebraska is disclosed as "not
voting He did not vote on regulation Of pack
ing houses, ratification Of German and Austrian
peace treaties, the hide tariff the agricultural
seed bill, refunding Of the foreign debt, prohibi-
ton enforcement legislation and other measures.
Why?
Three reasons appear possible and only three:
Was the senator unable to understand the meas
rres pending? Did he dislike to be recorded on
these issues, either through fear Of the effect
upon his political future or because long absence
from Nebraska had left him incapable Of reflect
ing the sentiment Of the state? Or was it simply
indifference to his duties as Nebraska's repre-
sentative?
The senator's "nonvoting" record is clearly
set forth in the Congressional Record He has
never made known the reason. Which Of these
three reasons was the one that moved him to
disregard the ordinary duty Of every man to at
tend to the job entrusted to him?

From the Kansas City Star.
The cowboy, who was peculiarly a, combina-
tion between an outdoor sport and an organized
industry, is more of tradition now than a
memory. Like the Indian and the buffalo. the
cowboy belonged to an age that has passed. and
with the passing of the age the cowboy has dis
appeared. All that is left of him. save for the
memories Of those who really knew him, is the
picture that fiction writer's have drawn-hction
writer's that, In the main, never saw a live cow
boy or knew his habits or his habitat. But 1t
is remarkable that here in the middle west and
the southwest. that produced him, there should
be SO little of actual knowledge OF a class Of
men who served period and a purpose in the
development Of the west, and at 80 recent day.
He was creature Of the frontier; dweller in
the twilight zone between the wild waste OF no
mans land and the orderly, regulated life Of
civilization.
What we owe to him probably has not i'm.
pressed us who now ride in trains or in motor
cars along the great COW trails where the cow
boy rode his broncho. The books have not been
balanced because there appears to have been
that quality about the cowboy that made him
poor business man. He never presented his bill
to civilization for services rendered. No one
ever heard Of cowboy running for office on
the plea that the west was indebted to him.
What he did he did without exacting high wages
or entertaining the hope Of reward.
