EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it’s done so naturally, so even­
ly. Preparing this mixture, though,
at home is mussy and troublesome.
For 50 cents you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, im­
proved by the addition of other ingre­
dients, called "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul­
phur Compound.” You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after an­
other application or two, your hair be­
comes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de­
sire a youthful and attractive appear­
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger. This ready-to-use pre­
paration is a delightful toilet requisite
and not a medicine. It is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.
The Easy Way to
Heal Sick Skins
Resinol Ointment, with Resinol
Soap, usually stops itching instantly.
Unless the trouble is due to some ser­
ious internal disorder, it quickly and
easily heals most cases of eczema,
rash, or similar tormenting skin or
scalp eruption, even when other treat­
ments have given little relief. Phy­
sicians have prescribed Resinol for
years. Resinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap are sold by all druggists.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT BRINGS TRUE ROMANCE TO THE
PARSONAGE GIRLS—MAYBE REAL LOVE
Mr. Starr, widower Methodist minister, is assigned to the con­
gregation at Mount Mark, la. He has five charming daughters. Pru­
dence, the eldest, keeps house for him. Fairy is a college freshman.
Carol and Lark, twins, are in high school. Constance is the “baby."
The activities of the Starr girls—Prudence’s work, Fairy’s school af­
fairs, the pranks of the youngsters—and the family perplexities
make the story; it is simply a recital of glorified homely incidents.
The preceding installment described the capture of a notorious burglar
in the parsonage and the reward promised the girls.
CHAPTER VII—Continued.
—10—
Mr. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early eastbound train to
Burlington. He attended the evange-
listic services at the tabernacle In the
afternoon and evening, and then went
to bed at the hotel. He slept late the
next morning. When he finally ap-
peared the clerk came ut once from
behind the desk to speak to him. Two
or three other guests, who had been
lounging about, drew near.
“We’ve just been reading about your
girls, sir,” said the clerk respectfully.
"It's a pretty nervy little bunch! You
must be proud of them !”
“My girls!” ejaculated Mr. Starr.
“Haven’t you seen the morning pa­
per? You’re Mr. Starr, the Methodist
minister at Mount Murk, aren’t you?”
"I am ! But what has happened to
my girls? Is anything wrong? Give
me the paper !”
Five minutes later Mr. Starr and his
suitcase were In a taxicab speeding
toward Union station, and within eight
minutes lie was en route for Mount
Mark—white In the face, shaky in the
knees, but tremendously proud in
spirit.
Arriving at Mount Mark, he was in­
stantly surrounded by an exclamatory
crowd of station loungers. The name
of Prudence was upon every tongue,
and her father heard it with satisfac­
tion. In the parsonage he found at
least two-thirds of the Ladles’ Aid so­
ciety, the trustees and the Sunday-
school superintendent, along with a
miscellaneous assortment of ordinary
members, mixed up with Presbyterians,
Baptists and a few unclassified outsid­
ers. And Prudence was the center of
attraction.
She was telling the “whole story,”
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning, but she broke off when her
father hurried In and filing her arms
about him. “Oh, papa,” she cried,
“they mustn't praise me. I had no
idea there was a burglar in the house
when I ran down the stairs, and I hon­
estly can’t see that much credit is
due me.”
But Mount Mark did not take it so
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church—well, the Presbyterian people
used to say there was “no living with
filose Methodists, since the girls caught
a burglar in the parsonage.” Of course
It was important, from the Methodist
point of view. Pictures of the par-
sonage and the church were in all the
papers for miles around, and nt their
very next meeting the trustees decided
to get the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
years I
When the five hundred dollars ar­
rived from Chicago, Prudence felt that
personally she had no real right to the
money. "We must divide It,” she In­
sisted, "for I didn't earn It a bit more
than any of the others. But it Is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred
dollars. isn’t it? Did you ever have
five hundred dollars before? Just take
it. father, ami use it for whatever we
need. It's family money.”
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear­
nestly, they decided to divide it.
“I will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger ones.” he
said, "and that will leave you as
much."
So It was settled, and Prudence was
a happy girl when she saw it safely
put away in the bank.
CHAPTER Vili.
Romance Comes.
Sometimes, Methodists, or Presbyte-
rians, or heretic» whatever we may
be- -we are irresistibly impelled to the
conclusion that things were simply
bound to happen ! However slight the
cause—still that cause was predestined
from the beginning of time. A girl
may by the sheerest accident step
from the street car a block ahead of
her destination—an Irritating accident.
But as she walks thnt block she mar
meet an old-time friend, and a stranger
Ami that stranger—ah. you can never
convince the girl that her stepping I
from the car too soon was not ordered
when the foundations of the world
were laid.
After all. it was very simple. Across I
the street from the parsonage lived a |
girl named Mattle Moore—a common,
unlovely, unexciting girl, who taught
« country school Ove miles out from
town, and rode to and from her school,
morning and evening, on a bicycle.
One evening, early in June, when the
world was fair to look upon, it was
foreordained that Prudence should be
turning in at the parsonage gate just
as Mattle Moore whirled up, opposite,
on her dusty wheel. Prudence stopped
to interchange polite inanities with her
neighbor, and Mattie, wheeling the bi­
cycle lightly beside her, came across
the street and stood beneath the par­
sonage maples with Prudence. They
talked of the weather, of the coming
summer, of Mattie’s school, rejoicing
that one more week would bring free­
dom from books for Mattie and the
younger parsonage girls.
Then said Prudence : “Isn’t it great
fun to ride a bicycle? I love It. Some­
time will you let me ride your wheel?”
"Why, certainly. You may ride now
if you like.”
"No,” said Prudence slowly, “I used
to ride, but am afraid it would not do
now. Some of the members might
see me, and—well, I am very grown-
up. you know. Of course,” she added
hastily, "it is different with you. You
ride for business, but It would be noth­
ing but a frolic with me. I want to go
early in the morning, when the world
is fast asleep. Let me take it tomor­
row morning, will you?”
“Yes, of course you may,” was the
hearty answer. “You may stay out as
long as you like. I always sleep late
on Saturdays.”
So Prudence delightedly tripped up
the parsonage board walk, wheeling
the bicycle by her side. She hid it
carefully In the woodshed, for the
twins were rash and venturesome. But
after she had gone to bed, she con­
fided her plan to Fairy.
“I’m going at six o’clock, and, Fairy,
if I am a little late, you’ll get break-
fast for papa and the girls, like a dear,
won’t you?”
Fairy promised. And early the next
morning Prudence, in red sweater
jacket and cap, set out upon her secret
ride. It was a magnificent morning,
and Prudence sang for pure delight ns
she rode swiftly along the country
roads, guided only by her own caprice.
She knew it was growing late, “but
Fairy’ll get breakfast,” she thought,
comfortably.
Finally she turned in a by-road lead­
ing between two rich hickory groves.
Dismounting nt the top of n long hill,
she gazed anxiously around her. No
one was in sight. The nearest house
was two miles behind, and the road
was long and smooth and inviting,
nnd the hill was steep. Prudence
yearned for u good, soul-stirring coast,
with her feet high on the framework
of the wheel, and the pedals flying
around beneath her skirts. It seemed
safe. The only living thing In sight
was a sober-eyed, serious mule peace­
fully grazing near the bottom of the
hill.
Prudence laughed gleefully, like n
child. She never laughed again in ex­
actly that way. "Here goes!" she
cried, nnd, leaping nimbly into the
saddle, she pedaled swiftly a few
times, nnd then lifted her feet to the
coveted position.
The pedals flew
around beneath her, and the wind
whistled about her in a most exhila­
rating way.
But ns she neared the bottom the
placid mule suddenly stalked Into the
middle of the road. Prudence screamed.
Jerked the handlebar to the right, to
the left, and then, with n sickening
thud, she struck the mule head tirst,
nnd bounced on down to the ground,
with n little cry of pain. The bicycle
crashed beside her, nnd the mule,
slightly startled, looked around nt her
with ears raised In silent questioning.
Then he ambled slowly across the road,
and deliberately continued his grazing.
Prudence tried to raise herself, but
she felt sharp pain. She heard some­
one leaping over the fence near her,
nnd wondered, without moving her
head, if It could be a tramp bent on
highway robbery. The next Instant n
man was leaning over her. "It’s not
a tramp,” she thought, before he had
time to speak.
"Are you hurt?" he cried. “You poor
child !"
Prudence smiled pluckily. "My ankle
is hurt a little, but I atu not a child."
The young man. In great relief,
laughed aloud, nnd Prudence joined
him rather faintly.
"I’m afraid 1 cannot walk,” she said.
"I believe I’ve broken my ankle, maybe
my whole leg. for ali I know. It—

HERMISTON,
OREGON.
“Lie down like this,” he said, helping
her to a more comfortable position, “do
not move. May T examine your foot?”
She shook her head, but he removed
the shoe regardless of her headshake.
“I believe it is sprained. I am sure
the bone is not broken. But how in
the world will you get home? How far
is it to Mount Mark? Is that where
you live?"
“Yes” — considering — “yes, I live
there, and it must be four miles, any­
how. What shall I do?”
In answer, he pulled off his coat, and
arranged it carefully by the side of the
road on the grass. Then jerking open
the bag he had carried, he took out a
few towels, and three soft shirts.
Hastily rolling them together for a pil­
low, he added it to the bed pro tern.
Then he turned again to Prudence.
“I’ll carry you over here, and fix
you as comfortably as I can. Then I’ll
go to the nearest house und get a
wagon to take you home.”
Prudence was not shy, and realizing
that his plan was the wise one, she
made no objections when he came to
help her across the road. “I think I
can walk if you lift me up.”
But the first movement sent such a
twinge of pain through the wounded
ankle that she clutched him frantically
and burst Into tears. “It hurts,” she
cried, “don’t touch me.”
Without speaking, he lifted her as
gently as he could and carried her to
the place he had prepared for her.
“Will you be warm enough?” he asked,
after he had stood looking awkwardly
down upon the sobbing girl as long
as he could endure it.
“Yes,” nodded Prudence, gulping
down the big sob rising in her throat.
"I’ll run. This confounded cross-cut
is so out of the way that no one will
pass here for hours, I suppose. Now
lie as comfortably as you can, and do
not worry. I’m going to run.”
Off he started, but Prudence, left
alone,
was
suddenly frightened.
“Please, oh. please,” she called after
him, and when he came back she buried
her face in shame, deep in the linen
towel.
"I’m afraid,” she whispered, crying
again. "I do not wish to be left alone
here. A snake might come, or a
tramp.”
He sat down beside her. “You’re
nervous. I’ll stay with you until you
feel better. Someone may come this
way, but it isn’t likely. I cut through
the hickory grove to save a mile. That’s
TO
CHEAPEN
LIVING
COST
A bulletin published by the New
York department of health suggests
a number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
“Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy,
and especially oatmeal,” the bulletin
says, “are rich in nourishment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals.
“American cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con­
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
“Oleomargarine Is a very satisfac­
tory and economical substitute for but­
ter. Unfortunately, its use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
“Rice Is very cheap food and can be
served In many different styles. It
should be used more frequently than It
is tn the dietary of those of moderate
means. It contains a very high per­
centage of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms of nourishment.
Everyone knows how extensively It Is
used among the peoples of Asia, where
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
“It should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably of whole wheat,
a form which Is rich in very important
food elements called ‘vitamines,’ also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman.
“There are many other cheap food-
stuffs, a notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way
impairing its food value.
ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time Wash­
ing Dishes.
“The careful housekeeper will al­
ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash dishes,”
writes Dr. H. Barnard in "Table Talk”
in the National Food Magazine. “She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of
shiftless,
slovenly
housekeep­
ing. As a matter of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily dish-washing
jobs.”
Doctor Barnard goes, on to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing.
One week she
washed dishes three times a day ; the
next week she washed each day’s
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
51 minutes a day to wash after each
meal and 41 minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only of time, but
there was a considerable additional
saving In gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day. to say nothing of the saving In
soap.
