L THE FIRST GRAY HAIR SIGN OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color of the Hair and Make It Grow. A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly re- stores gray hair to natural color. The! care of the hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as important as to care for teeth to keep | them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion and yet neg- lect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complex- ion? Of the two it is easier to pre- serve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion. All that is necessary is the occas- ional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden sage and sulphur, combined with other valuable reme- dies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dan- druff, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of this sim- ple, harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no longer come out but will start to grow as nature intended it should. Don’t neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back it you are not satisfied after using. Pur- chase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the differ- ence it will make in your appearance. —Adv. TRY A WANT AD GRUMBLER ALWAYS WITH US Discontented Man Accomplishes Some Good, With Much Harm, Through | His Eternal Walls. { — We are all natural-born grumblers. From childhood to the grave «we look for the few things that are wrong and { forget the many that are right. When we dre strong and healthy we offer no prayer of thanksgiving. But let us have an ache or a pain, a cut finger or a sore thumb and hear the wails of distress. ‘We expect to be healthy, happy and well. We feel that that is an inherit- ance to which we are entitled. So we. think nothing of it. But how we magnify our little troubles! ‘We forget that if we inherit health B0 we may also have an inheritance of’' suffering. If we have days of sun- shine we must also have days of storm. If we expect to enjoy happi- ness we must also anticipate hours of pain. If we have joys we must also {have sorrows. We never voice contentment. We always proclaim our discontent. Hear the cries of unrest by those who magnify their grievances against the | present order of things. This has imuch to do with the clamor in favor of upsetting our -established form of government and trying experiments, costly, unnecessary and in many in- ptances foolish. The grumblers are responsible for the unreason, discontent and unbe- lief that so widely prevail. It has been so always frcm ancient biblical times to this so-called “new century of progress,"—Leslie’s. ANCIENT CRIME UNPAID FOR Murder 700 Years Ago Still Causes Annual Tribute to Be Paid by the Community. - Seven hundred years ago some shep- herds of the Valley of Roncal, in Na- varra, were murdered by shepherds of the Valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the crime taking place on the high pasture lands of Arles, in the Pyrenees. It would have been difficult to bring the murderers individually to justice, pnd the Spaniards were preparing to make war upon the valley from which the French murderers had come, when the French village proposed that psace be maintained at the price of a yearly tax or tribute, to endure for all time, and this proposition was accepted without demur. three cows of a particular breed and color—has been made ever since, the | custom—it is nothing more—having survived even the great wars in which both France and Spain have engaged, and the storm of the French revolu- tion. Yearly the representative men of the two valleys meet on the frontier, Bt a certain stone, remote from any town, and go through the ceremony of presenting and receiving the cattle. The order of procedure, which is elahorate and impressive, is fixed by a8 document bearing the date 1375, though the tax was paid a hundred years prior to that time. Story of Clemenceau. It is said that Monsieur Clemenceau who bears the pleasant sobriquet of “the tiger,” is about to connect him- self with a new journal to appear in the near future. This return to the limelight from which he had not with- drawn to any distance, gives occasion for some new stories concerning him. One of these is that a young man applied to him for a place. “Do you know anything about foreign affairs?” asked the tiger. “Yes, monsieur,” was the answer to which he modestly pdded, “a little” Clemenceau ap- | peared greatly astonished. “Ah, truly! Do you know what is the question of the Orient, the Austro-Hungarian proeb- lem, and pan-8lavic politics?” “Yes, monsieur.” Then the tiger turned on him. “This 1s too wearisome. It would amuse me much more if you knew nothing at all.” Scholars in Politics. Men may now have a bewildering list of degrees without having the “scholarship” which the world still associates only with the literature and philosophy of the ancients. Yet the American public men of an earlier generation filled their speeches with quotations in the original from Plato and Aristophanes, Virgil and Cicero, and with allusions to classical mythol- ogy and to historical happenings on the shores of the blue Aegean or be- side the tawney Tiber and were un- derstood by all their hearers who had 8 college education. The times have changed.—Boston Herald. The payment of this blood tax— | priginally three white mares, but later” Tea Was Not Popular in 1753. A description of a model country rector's household in an issue of the London "World for 1753 shows that tea-drinking was then far from gen- eral: “His only article of luxury is | tea, but the doctor says he would/ forbid that, if his wife could forget her London education. However, they ! seldom offer it but to the best com- | pany, and less than a pound will last jthem a twelvemonth.” * i A few years prior to this the Fe- | male Spectator declared that the tea table “costs more to support than would maintain two children at nurse; it is the utter destruction of sll ecohomy, the bane of good house- wifery, and the source of idleness.” Blind Potatoes. Everyone knows, of course, that po- tatoes have eyes, but it may be news that they are sometimes aflicted with blindness. A recent publication of an English agricultural authority makes the assertion that some potatoes are affiicted with blindness, and says the disease is s0 called on account of its completely destroying the eyes of tu- bers, making them worthless for seed. | Crematorles Increasing. There has been a marked increase in Europe in the use of cremation as a method of disposing of the dead. Last year there were 7,555 cremations in Germany, as against 6,500 in 1910. At present there are thirty crema- tories in Germany and almost as many in Italy. In England there | were 1,033 cremations in 1911, as | against 840 in 1910. Recently Swit- zerland has passed a law which prac- | tically makes interment exceptional. | —Scientific American.
