One month from tomorrow is inauguration day, when Mr. Taft steps down and out and Mr. Wilson and Mr. , Marshall take the reins of govern-' ment. That Mr. Wilson has ideas of his own as to how the government should be conducted is evidenced from the fact that while he is glad to accept advice from the leaders, he has announced no program, his cabinet still remaining doubtful. The legislature will make good progress this week according to the 1 program as arranged, and when they 1 adjourn next Saturday, it is expected that the following bills will have been passed: A primary bill introduced by Mr. Fleming of Portland, the new Ralston public utilities bill and a new blue sky bill.

"Two young women were opposite in looks—one was most beautiful and had no beaux; the other was as homely as all out doors and had beaux by the score. The good-looking one asked the other for the secret of her success. ‘“’Tain't no secret,’ said the ugly one, ‘they just can't get away from that come hither and look in my eyes.’ and that’s the way with me— I can’t get away from the come hither look in the eyes of those who want me to introduce bills for them."— Blodgett, In Indianapolis News.

‘ NOBODY CAN TELL IF YOU DARKEN GRAY, FADED HAIR WITH ’ SAGE TEA. Druggist Says When Mixed With Sulphur Prevents Dandruff and Falling Hair. I - — Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, then left to age and carefully filtered will turn gray, streaked and 1 ! faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching, and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,' I though, is troublesome. An easier is to get the ready-to-use tonic, cost- 1 ing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, know as "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Remedy,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. Some druggists make their own, but it isn’t nearly so nice as “Wyeth's." While wispy, gray, faded hair is not i sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive-1 ness. By darkening your hair with ! Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur no one can , tell, because it does so naturally; so ! evenly. You just dampen a sponge or | soft brush and draw it through your ' hair, taking one small strand at a time. Do this tonight and by morning | all gray hairs have disappeared, afterl .another application or two it will be I restored to its natural color and be ‘ I even more glossy, soft and luxuriant - .than ever. | Local druggists say they are celling. of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur;"! ( it surely helps folks appear younge-. I The Kolthouse Drug Co. m-w-s ——e IN MEMORIAM. Throughout life with all joy comes a measure of sadness. The light of our existence bums wfth uncertaintly. One by one our friends are drifting from us. How brief is our ‘earthly life, today prosperity or presence of j loved ones fills our cup of joy to overflowing; tomorrow adversity or sore bereavement casts us into the valley of sorrow. God in his infinite love has given and taken; let us say, "Thy will be done.” The silent messenger of death came and claimed one of our charter members, Theodore Moore, i and our chapter mourns the loss of a faithful member. While standing thus beside the broken column, we extend to his son and to our bereaved associate matron the heartfelt sympathy of our chapter in this their hour of sorrow and looking with Martha's trustful faith beyond the shores of time, we know that our brother awaits our coming to the grand chapter above. I Resolved, That Decatur Chapter, No. 127, be drafted for a period of thirty days, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family and a memorial page be set apart in our record to the memory of our departed brother.
