10 DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Na- tural Color, Gloss and
 Attraetiveness

Common garden sage Drewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added. will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if yonr hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy. gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a 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, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

THE TYRANNY OF MAJORITIES.

pr Nicholas Murray Buffers address to the Ohio Bar Association, in which he commented upon the lawleseness that is growing of much regula- tive legislation, referring particularly to prohibition and similar adventures in fields of government, and declared that tyranny by majority is de- structive of government tyranny by monarch CT aut0cracy, has excited a great deal of comment.
 Whatever may be ones conclusions regarding the queation of prohibition there is no question but that the attempt 10 make people good through legislation, to standardze the world to the conception of a majority that sometimes is made up through the binaton of blocs and political trading amounts to tyranny over the minority that is having the effect of breeding disrospect for law and it is becoming obnoxious as the tyrannics struggles against which have made history.
 We find this tyranny moving in many avenues. The efforts of the Ku klux Klan to outlaw those of certain races and lgions is example of attempt ing to crush ndvidualism through the despoic else of power by majority which it is endeavoring to acquire through playing politics a game
 It is high time that the zealots and hobby riders of the country quit this effort standardze world by forcing people into moulds of their own making through legislation and politics The occasion ripe for recourse to the old methods of reforming the world through the education of the individual that might choose the right for himself. distinguished writer few years ago declared that the country needed preachers who would urge individuals mere evangeliss, and fewer leagues with lobbying secretaries with authority to commit the leagues in arrangements that may be made with politicians or ether leagues bloes in order secure the accept anee of their ideas by majority of the people The world cannot be saved massee through legisa- tion It is improved through the improvement of the individuals

 And he answers his queron in the affirmative,
 For he says that the value of what the United States produces amounts to about $4000 ,000, 900, and this advertising bill of $500 900 000 is there fore only about per cent. of the total amount of goods produced.

EAST DISCUSSES ALASKA FISHERIES.

The question of the perpetuaton of the Alaska flsher1es has become favorie topic for discussion and comment among the newspapers of the East several papers recently have contained long articles on the subject, and they have elicited not a little comment The Boston Herald recently contained a whole page, with several illustrations giving fairly accurate review of the situation with history of the salmon industry beginning with the Sacramento Rivor IT the 6o5 and coming northward through Oregon and Washington to Alaska
 Commenting upon the article and the action of Secretary Hoover in setting apart reservations in certain parts of Alaska, in editorial leader the Herald says: ~

This is a serious business for the whole nation, for which, and especially for crowded Eastern cities canned salmon is staple food.

 The President acted none too soon, but his proclamation is limited to year, and mmdeate legislation is necessary. Unless a well-known law is promptly passed the Alas kan salmon will practically disappear before 1880. Congress should pass effective bill and should pass it quickly.
