Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Itecipe of Sage Tea ami
Sulphur
Almost everyone knows that
i Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the na
tural color and lustre to the hair
when faded, - streaked or gray.
Years ago the only way to get thi
mixture was to make it at home,
which Is musBy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store lor "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
v phur . Compound," you will get a
large bottls of this famous old
' recipe,- improved by the addition
of other ingredients, at a small
.-. Don'tstay gray! Try it! No
one can possibly tell that you
darkened your Jialr, as it does it
so. naturally " and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and: draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair
V disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair,1 be
comes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Adv. , -
the annual Arbor day manual.- It
contains a suggested program for
the day, a list ot books on plant
ing and caring for trees and an ar
ticle on "A Few Flow-err.IwjdB,'"
by Dr. Albert R. Swcetscr of the
University of Oregon, it is high
ly illustrated with pictures of
many wild flowers and much space
is glvcu to their descriptions.
Under the law Arbor day is ob
served the second Friday in Feb
ruary in all countes west of the
Cascade mountains and on the sec
ond Friday in April for all coun-j
tl5s of eastern Oregon.
"No man is well educated un
til he has leagued to appreciate
outdoor nature in trees, shrubs
and flowers." says Mr. Churchill
in the foreward, "and in order to
appreciate he must understand the
nature, growth and use of these
silent friends of mankind. To
plant, to care for. and to study
treea and flowers should be an
important part in the education of
every child, not only for individual
culture of mind and heart, but to
discharge our obligation to fu
ture generations by passing on a
heritage of beauty and wealth in
vegetation, to this end do we
celebrate Arbor day, by planting
trees and shrubs on school
grounds and along public high
ways. We trust that every school
in Oregon will fittingly observe
the day." '

New Plan Here
Dr. Lisle 63 Years in
The Methodist Ministry
Rev. pr. James Lisle of Salem
yesterday celebrated his 63rd an
niversary as a minister of the
Methodist church by giving an ad
dress at Kimball College ot The
ology. He is 82 years old.
Dr. Lisle entered the ministry
at Barnesville, Ohio, and served as
a circuit rider in Ohio and Iowa
until the outbreak of the' Civil
war, when he enlisted as a volun
teer in the third Iowa. He also
served as a volunteer chaplain as
well as an artilleryman.
For the last 14 years Dr. Lisle
has been' connected with Willam
ette university.
Explanation of the proposal to
unite municipalities of the Wil
lamette valley ! for the purpose of
obtaining an adequate and excel
lent water supply were outlined ou
Thursday by Waldo Anderson of
Albany, who stopped in Salem -to
make arrangements for a meeting
here next week at which time the
matter will be thoroughly discuss
ed and explained. Mr. Anderson
was one of the prime factors in
agitating the plan. He was ac
companied by E. M. Reagan, pub
lisher of the Albany Herald.
As outlined by Mr. Anderson,
a huge pipe line would bring water
from Clear lake to Eugene, Cor
vallis. Albany, Salem, Independ
ence and other of the valley
towns. No one community is fi
nancially able to put the plan in
operation, but by co-operation he
believes it could be accomplished.
One outstanding feature of the
plan is that it will not be neces
sary to install machinery, as grav
ity will deliver the water from the
source to where it can be distrib
uted. Clear lake is located high
in the Cascades land-within a gov
ernment preserve, assuring protec
tion from any source in the fu
ture. The water comes from a
large spring supplied by the snows
and glaciers that feed the1 head
waters of the McKenzie river. The
water maintains a steady tempera
ture of 42 degrees the year
around.
Mr. Anderson pointed out the
advantages of the Bull Run re
serve operated by the city of Port
land and the favorable comment
upon the system. The proposed
plan of bringing water from Clear

MUCH IN NEED

Food Urgent Need, Is Plea ot
Associated Chanties
Work Scarce
Fifty families in Salem are suf
fering from lack of actual tood
necessities, according to Mrs. Mae
Young, executive secretary of the
Associated Charities, who is ap
pealing for an immediate response
to a need of food. In addition to
this numher many families are
being cared for by the Salvation
Army, which has1 its hands full.
"Several instances of actual
starvation have come to my at
tention." Mrs. Young said yester
day. "Some of the cases are piti
ful, and we are not in a position
to give them any assistance unless
people come forward with contri
butions. Food is the chief need,
with work or employment a close
second. Many people have .been
able to weather the winter so far,
but with lack of work their needs
are acute and they lack necessi
ties. The canneries closed early
and many women were thrown out
of employment."
Specific instances cited by Mrs.
Young" were those of a family
which needs a small cook stove.
This demand irf urgent. The man
has not been able to get work and
he has a wife and two children to
support. Another woman, with
four children, was found making
a meagre breakfast, lute in the
morning, on toast with a little
milk.
Out in ithe Highland district
there is a mother with five chil
dren, two of whom are youngsters.
She is unable to buy milk for
them. Another widow with five
children has been keeping board
era. Several of the youngsters
became sick with the measles and
the roomers left. Still another
widow has been supporting her
child, but she became ill several
weeks ago and gradually her little
stock of funds ran out. When she
was found by the Associated
Charities her food was about gone
and she had paid the rent until the
end of the month. What Is to be
come of her is1 not known. An
other woman has 12 children, 10
of Wjhom are here. Her funds are
low. Another woman has a boy
who is suffering with tuberculosis
Other cases have come to the at
tention of the Associated Chari
ties, but these are the most urgent
ones.
Contributions of potatoes,
canned vegetables, onions, flour
and a few, other actual necessities
are needed. There is sufficient
bedding on hand to supply the
demand. Clothing is needed, both
for children as well as adults, but
not as much as1 food. These con
iriDuiions should be brought to
the Red Cross headquarters, 640
State, though if this is impossible
teiepnone 332 and someone will
call for the articles.
