Here's an Old-time Recipe that Any 4 body can Apply. The uso of Rafro and Sulphur fnr re storing faded, ray hulr to I f ft intunil color dates back to uran.lmother'H time. She used It to keep her h.iir beautifully dark, glossy and attrac tive. Whenever her hair t.nk en that dull, faded or streaked nppeaian. e, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect, But brewing at homo Is muwy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by n.skinK at any drug store for a hottle of "Wyeth's and Sulphur Compound." you will pot this famous old preparation. Improved by the addition of other In frredlents. whtch can ho depended up on to restore natural color uid boAiity to the hair. A well-known downtown druirtfl-it says It darkens tho hair so nnturnlly and evenly that nobody can toll U tins been applied. You simply dampen n aponge or soft brunh with It and draw this through your hair, taklne one. strand at a time. By mornlm- th gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and Klnfny.

THE POPULAR GAME. EVERY one i.s jirnf'Uocn struck; no one's pleased ci ins on every niieu. l wmiki niiv niyseir some cioiii i'l; sSuiiiethiiif; shelf worn would suffice but: niy soul is filled with loathing when 1 contemplate the price. J would buy a slab of bacon, but the man who sells the s-une by his conscience is forsaken, and his prices are a shame. I would like to paint my shanty, whose ap pearance is a frost, but the burning words of Dante can't do justice to the cost. Now and then I go a-questin for the reason for this craze; and the blame j", always resting on some distant nameless jays. Oh, tile blame is never local, it is always most remote; and each man profanely vocal, says some others get his goat. Vain is all our loud resistance to the graft that makes ns sick; always in the hazy distance are the knaves who do the trick. .Always in elusive shadow is the profit eering group, which has found its VA Dorado, white consumers find their soup, far away the robbers shameless who harpoon ns through and through; and your merchant prince is blameless lie; gets stung as well as von. THE STATE TREASURY SCANDAL TflKKI'l is considerable excitement in the state over the scandal in the slate treasurer's office. It seems that one broker firm has had a monopoly of the state's business and .has profited somewhat scandalously thereby. An au dit, and a grand jury investigation have been launched, to smoke out the guilty party. ' We venture the prediction the guilty party will not be found. Kor, unless wo are much mistaken, there is no guilty party. The guilt; will be found', we opine, with no person, but with the grand and glorious electorate of Ore gon. No fine who knows slates treasurer .Huff, questions for a moment, his integrity or his business incapacity. True, there may have been malfeasance; among his subordinates, lint, even so, there- is nothing fantastic in saying that Mr. Iloff, under such circumstance's, would not be as guilty as the people;-who put him there. , " l-'eir M r. I Ioff k no more fitted by t raining or te-mpera-nieut .foi: the. important. posf, of state treasurer thaii' JiLp Van-Winkle.- .1 1' (he-people ef Oregon -were in the habit ed yotii'x .fop.a man on.-tln; grpuudioJ;.fitni's.,li1tjn.-:p.o.U;M concerned', Mr. Tlo'ff could liave counted his' votes'on his two hands. To make this point cleat imagine for a moment that a I ()(),()()( ),()()() corporation, which the state of Oregon is, wanted a t reasure.r u.nd I hat M r. I Ioff should apply. I f yon know .Mr. .liDfyott-fiACvlii't be told the result. He would be lucky if lie escaped the attentions of the corporation's alienist. - As a lViaMVr'of actual fact, there probably isn't a man in public life; jit this state who is less fitted for the poif ion of state treasurer t hail t he man who occupies it. - So while the jury investigation autl the audit, and all the; scandal that is certain to follow, are unavoidable', and for that matter, desirable; the value eif the entire; proceed ing to the people of Oregon will be lost, unless it awakens a Jew citizens to the folly and the political iniquity t vot ing for public officials without thinking. The e-lection of Mr. Iloff as state treasurer was the plain result; of popular indifference to public business. It was also the result of one of America's most dangerous habits, the habit of putting the public business into the hands of politicians instead of business men. . Honesty is the supreme qualification. Kill Oregon is full of honest men ami well-meaning ones. What I he people of Oregon should have- and should insist upon, are men who are licit her crooks nor incompetents. This will never come about until the pe-ople are sufficiently aroused over incidents like the present one In take half as much interest in their public as their private business.
