Keeping Young Folks Home.

How to keep the young folks at
home in the evening is a problem that
has confronted many parents, be-
cause of the counter attractions that
take them away.
Some parents think. they have
solved it by installing a radio. There
are few young people, especially
boys who are not attracted by a
radio receiving set.
It brings to their ears concerts,
news, results of athletic events, lee
lures and sermons. They can travel
from coast to coast in one evening,
picking up the strains of famous
piece of classical music one minute
and casting it aside in q few minutes
for one of their favorite jazz num-
bers by an orchestra in city perhaps
one thousand miles away.
The boy who last year was stand
ing on the curbstone smoking, or
wasting his hours away in a pool
room, may now be spending his time
at home, roaming over the universe

there, constatly striving to find
something new that the air is willing
to give up.
1t is a new and thrilling pleasure
for boy and has peculiar fascina-
ton that attracts father and mother
too, but the wise parents will sit
back and allow the youngsters to
manipulate the dial, realizing full
well what it means to have them at
home.
The radio provides a peculiarly
useful interest for boys, stimulating
their ingenuity and encouraging
them to do things themselves instead
Of watching someone else do them.
The boy who acquires skill in hand
ling the instruments is the one who
has patiently figured it all out, and
he is the boy who will apply himself
with the same care to the big job out
in the world when he gets to it.-Ex.

LEARNING And Booze.

Young college men are condemned
when they drink intoxicating liquor,
but DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia university,
was allowed to 20 scot free of cri-
ticism for several days when he made
the extraordinary statement-cXtra-
ordinary for a university president
chat the liquor business should be
licensed and permitted again legally
to take up its trade Of producing
human direlicts.
It is little wonder that the eigh-
teenth amendment and the Volstead
act are Haunted by supposedly self
respecting people when men of the
standing of DR.. Butler publicly pro-
claim that they are in favor of the
open saloon
Dr.. Charles w. Elliott of Harvard
took up the gauntlet against DR..
Butler, but it remained for the virile,
rugged educational leaders of the
middlewest to leap into the contro-
versy and take a militant stand in
favor of prohibition.
'The prohibition law can be en-
forced" said one. ''The more
rigidly it is enforced, the fewer in
fractions there will be-"
To say that it can not be en-
forced is equivalent to admitting
that the American people are men
tally incapable of enacting laws for
their own government and lack the
moral stamina necessary for enforce
ment of the laws which they have
enacted.
1t would have been a great disap-
pointment to millions of drys
throughout the United States if
college and university presidents had
permitted Dr. Buffers aspersions
cast at the eighteenth amendment,
to have gone unchallenged.
They deserve challenging and DR..
Butler deserves a rebuke. No man
who believes that law, enacted in
accordance with the restrictions laid
down by the constitution of the
United States, should not be obeyed
and enforced, should be in a position
which gives weight to his opinions
and which may influence college
men and women.-Ex.

LADIES! DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use cfandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store fer bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, I'M
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
By morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

Shifting Commerce.

When you hoard money away, you
assist in stifiling the commercial
activity Of your home community as
well as the whole country at large.
If you put it in the bank, the
banker lends it to someone who uses
it to produce something. That
keeps other people at work and keeps
the money in circulation.
If you lerd it on a mortgage or buy
bonds. it serves the same purpose. 1t
keeps circulating and everybody is
benefited
When money keeps moving, it en-
abIes many people to move.
And the fellow who can't move
ahead is in sorry straits.
The dollar that is hidden away is
in bad place.
If you have any such dollars,
bring them from their hiding place
and put them to work.-Ex.

When working as Nature intended
your Liver does three things
necessary to keep you feeling your
best. First, it purifies your BLOOD,
every drop Of which passes through
your Liver every fifteen minutes.
Second, your Liver furnishes the
essential to perfect DIGESTION.
Third, your Liver supplies the secre-
tions Nature uses to Intricate your
intestines so that your Bowels can
move naturally, gently and regularly
every day. When your liver be-
comes sluggish it cannot do these
three things; consequently, you
suffer from one or more of the
