SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don’t stay Gray! Here’s Wfi Olatime Recipe that Anybody can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrno tive’. Whenever, her hair took on that dull, faded <jr streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients. which’ can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown . druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tjell it has been applied. <*¥ou simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, ano after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.—Adv.

TARIFF QUESTION COMING UP AGAIN FORDNEY OF MICHIGAN HEADS WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE IN THE NEW HOUSE. MAJORITY TO START THINGS Will Formulate Program, but Fact That Administration Is Democratic May Check It—Esch Is to Handle Railroad LegislaMn. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—When congress reconvenes ths committees of both house and senate will have Republican majorities in control therein. Perhaps the chief interest in one way centers in two or three great committees in the house, because these particular committees will formulate the legislation which, if enacted into law, will be most far reaching. It must be remembered, of course, that the administration is Democratic while congress today is Republican. Therefore it seems hardly likely that any great doctrinal legislative measures of the Republican party will be made into law, because presumably a Democratic president would not approve them. Joseph W. Fordney, Republican, of Saginaw, Mich., will be the chairman of the ways and means committee in the ceming congress. It is this committee which will formulate tariff legislation. Mr. Fordney, is known as a believer in a high protective tariff. There are sotne other Republicans on the committee who believe in a more moderate tariff, but taking the majority of the Committee all-in all. it represents much higher tariff views than those of the Democratic majority of the same committee in the last house. What will the Republican party do with tariff legislation with a Democratic president in the White House? The answer is that it will do what it can in a program way at the next session or two, and then may have to let the program go over until a Republican president is elected in order to see it put into effect. Higher Tariff May Be Prevented. It is within the range of possibilities. or as some would prefer to put it of probabilities, that a Democratic president will be elected and with him ?. Democratic congress. In such a case the Republican program, although even put into legislative form during the next session or two, never could be given the effect of law. It is certain, however, that the Republicans in the next two years in congress will formulate a new tariff bill. The tariff we have always with us. It was with us during the war, although hostilities, through stoppage to a great extent of imports, built up about the highest tariff wall that it was possible to erect. In other words, wo had comparatively few imports, and as comparatively little came into the country the tariff seemingly ceased from Doubling. Nevertheless the tariff was still with us, because men in congress still were thinking on it, and were often talking on it. John Jacob Esch, Republican, of Wisconsin, will be chairman of the committee on interstate commerce. Mr. Esch’s name was connected with the first railroad rebate bill which went through the lower house in the time of Theodore Roosevelt. It was known as the Esch-Townsend measure. Curiously enough the name of Mr. Townsend, now United States senator from Michigan, was more intimately associated with the bill than that of Mr. Esch, whose name led the couplet. That first railroad rebate bill, as it generally was called, went through the house, but the senate failed to act, and it was not until the next session that another bill formulated in the house, and known as the Hepburn measure, was passed by both houses and signed by the president. Now Mr. Esch of Wisconsin is to have another hand at railroad legislation. It is a big job that he has ahead of him. It must be remembered again that, the administration is Democratic. A bill which shall deal with the future of the railroads, and which must receive the sanction of the president in order to become a law, must be free from an approach to partisanship. Otherwise a veto may await it. Fitting Roosevelt Memorial. Before the members of the Roosevelt permanent memorial national committee are two plans suggestive of the form which the memorial should take. Both of them tire appealing and it seems to be generally believed that both may be adopted. One of the plans has in view the providing of a fund for the Americanization of incoming foreigners, and the other is for a fund for the establishment in Washington of a foundation for the conservation of wild life, primarily in the United States but incidentally throughout the world, It is with the second plan that this article concerns itself. The Americanization plan probably will strike all Americans, and especially those who knew Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in the subject, as being fitting and proper. Exactly the same words may be used concerning the second plan. Theotfore Roosevelt through all his life was a conservationist. He believed that the useful birds and mammals should be preserved, but also that sportsmen should be allowed to take their toll under such restrictions as would Insure perpetuation of species.

Marion Coming On. Living on a farm, the children hear their fathers talk of the different crops. Our little neighbor was over to visit my 1-year-old daughter, who has never had much hair. Returning home, she said to her mother: “Marlon is certainly getting a fine crop of hair now.”—Chicago Tribune. Showed Greatness in Youth. At the age of 14, and when a sophomore at Cambridge, Francis Bacon left the university in disgust, declar-

The economic value ot the birds and mammals was strongly urged by Colonel Roosevelt. His interest was keen and his writings and his actions give sufficient evidence of his anxiety lest the wild life should perish from the •earth. For the Conservation Plan. Among the supporters of the conservation of wild life plan which has been submitted Jo Col. William J}. Thompson, chairman of the memorial national committee, are George Shiras. 3rd, famous faunal naturalist; E. W. Nelson, chief of the bureau of biological survey in the department of agriculture; Charles Sheldon, sportsman, naturalist and conservationist. and John B. Burnham, president of the American Game Protective association. The contention of these men is, that the colonel’s well-known interest in nature throughout his life, both as one of the keenest and most observant of American field naturalists, and as a hunter of big game, justifies in full measure a memorial of the kind proposed. The project calls for the establishment at Washington of an institution to he known as the “Roosevelt foundation for the conservation of wild life.” It is proposed that the foundation be governed by a board of trus» tees under whom there shall be a director to control its activities. In u general way the activities will include; Investigations necessary to supply accurate information concerning wild life; to secure data concerning valuable species threatened with extermination and to make the foundation a central bureau from which conservationists can obtain the necessary facts to work effectively. Educational work would be undertaken to keep the public informed ot the importance and value of the birds and mammals. This part of the work, of course, would be undertaken largely through publication and by encouraging the activities of organizations and individuals. Red Cross Service Stripes. “Over there,” if a man was in the front line of the hardest fighting, .but was in France for less than six months, they gave him a blue service stripe, while the man who was at Bordeaux, or some other place miles removed from the fighting, was given a gold stripe if he was in France for six months. Somehow this does not seem right. In the United States today the Red Cross officials are decorating the women who worked for the cause for a fixed number of hours. Conditions of health and opportunity being equal, it sterns perfectly right that there should be a difference made between the women who worked for a short time and those who worked for a loijg time, but also it seems possible that a hardship and an injustice is worked if a woman who did all that there was in her to do and broke down under the strain, “invalided out of the service” as it were, should not be given the same honors that go to a sturdy one who passed through the ordeal. Red Cross work has not stopped and it never will stop, for the Red Cross is an organization which must go on in peace and in war. Many of the war-time activities have ceased, especially knitting and the surgical dressing activities. Garments and some kinds of dressings still are needed, and so hundreds of Washington women still ply their needles, their scissors and their sewing machines. Washington Society Reviving. The capital always has loved to plunge into the swift current of the social stream. The desire to jump in several, times a day was just" as strong on the eve of this war as it had been at any time since Dolly Madison kept open house. As soon as the stroke of war Sounded from the war department tower the social stream stopped running, except on the occasions when the flood gates of charity were opened. Even when a ball was given for the benefit of stricken sol diers or civilians there was not the same heart in the thing nor the same spirit in the festivities that were manifest before the day when our men went to sea or into the field. Washington was in away a social desert for three years, for the damming of the upper waters of the social stream began just about a year after the European countries flew at one another’s throats. Today Washington is trying to be jolly again and hostesses are trying to gather enough people together on numerous occasions to make the jollification apparent. Having the Experience of Paris. Washington is experiencing, in a somewhat minor degree it is true, just what happened in Paris when the Hun let ravage loose on Belgium and on the northern frontiers of France. Paris is Paris, but it something very much different from the ordinarily accepted Paris when war loomed black. The Parisian women of high degree turned to, to knit, to sew, to work among the lowly, to scrub floors and even to undertake the hardships of the field under at that time a rather poorly regulated nursing system.

WiV- has leveled social ranks in Washington as it did in Paris. How loitg they will remain leveled no one knows, but it is probably a goodly and a Godly thing that certain events have happened. The women of this town are broader minded, more kindly in their judgments and harder working than ever they were before in their lives. It is' difficult for them today to turn away from the work of three years to give themselves over to the play of other years. They probably will find work for their hands to do even when the peace pact finally is signed and the world settles back into something like a semblance of the former proprieties. ,

ing that the whole system of education was radically wrong at Cambridge and everywhere else. And Bacon lived to prove that he was conservatively right in his contention. Swift despised his teachers because he knew more than they did, and therefore had difficulty in securing a degree. An Important Question.

LAND VALUE FIXED Altogether on Power of Giving Wealth. That Is Why the Fertile Acres of Western Canada, With Adjacent Markets, Are So Attractive to Settlers. Throughout every portion of the Western Empire lands that are capable of producing are in great demand. We find that in the States of proved agricultural wealth, land prices have increased within the past three or four years to a degree that ten years ago would not have been thought to be possible. Land that sought buyers at SIOO an acre five years ago is Changing hands at S2OO an acre. The secret of this does not lie altogether in the higher prices of farm products, for the expense of production has increased proportionately. The better methods of farming have had a good deal to do with it, and the knowledge; that demands for farm products will be sufficiently great for a good manyyears to come to insure a continuation of the high prices that prevail at present. Then, again, improved machinery, the tractor and other means of economic power will tend to lessen the cost. Governing land values, too, are climates, soil, moisture, settlement, railroads, markets. Without markets, no matter how much the other factors enter into it, the land is merely- of speculative value. It is not more than a third of a century since ninety per cent of the land in Western Canada, now occupied and tilled, and producing enough in one year to give a profit of from twenty-five to thirty dollars per acre, was unoccupied or used as grazing land, and worth very little. These lands today are valuable, and are being sought by settlers who realize their present and future value. There is no portion of the world that is attracting the same attention. The s§il may have improved in the past centuries with the fertilizing given it by nature; the climate has not changed, and the moisture may be considered the same. These are three of. the essentials of good land. What they lacked a third of a century ago was markets—a fourth essential. These they have now. Thus provided, it is not to be wondered at that these millions of acres with their great wealth, which have so long been awaiting the awakening touch of mankind, are now to be found adding to the available wealth of the world. With the advent of pailroads, throwing their great trunks of steel across the continent and over the surface of these boundless plains, spreading out their tentacles to remoter parts, the world at large has begun to realize that here was a country possessing all the natural advantages claimed by older communities; that land here just as good or better, acre for acre, as their own could be had for almost the asking. With the realization of the foregoing facts came the people, who found that a railway had preceded them and markets already existed for anything that they might care to raise. These markets have greatly expanded and. are capable of still greater expansion, and assure to the agriculturist the prevailing prices of the worljl. An assured market means added value to every- acre of land in Western Canada, and the’near future will see lands that are now selling at exceptionally- low prices begin to increase in value, just as they have in Eastern Canada and the United States. —-Advertisement.
