TURN HI DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand- |
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sen
sible, as we are. living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound" for about 50 cents a
bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten, your comb or a
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also produces that soft luster and ap
pearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair.—Ad
vertisement.

TEACH CHILDREN TO !
STUDY THE BIBLE
[Continued Front First Pace]
me, in my father's store south of
Huntingdon," said Dr. Brumbaugh,
"one morning the village doctor came
in for his mail, as his custom was,
and it happened that on that particu
lar morning no one was in the room
but myself and the doctor. 1 placed
on the counter his morning mail, and
just as he reached to take it he paused
and looked into my boyish face and
said, "Martin, 1 have known your fam
ily in this valley for three generations.
I never knew one of them to be drunk.
Don't you forget the family record." I
It. was' the finest temperance sermon [
that was ever preached into my boy- I
hood spirit, and I made the promise |
then to myself, which, bless God, I
want to keep to my dying day—'l shall
not break the family record."
Sermon to S. S. Teachers
His sermon, of course, was of espe
cial interest to the Sunday school
teacher. He pointed out that the
teachings of Christ were different
from the philosophies of Greece and
Rome in that his appeal was to the
will of his followers and not to the
feelings or to the reason alone.
The services were opened by Mr.
Andubar, a Porto Rican missionary,
whom Dr. Brumbaugh knew on the
island during his stay there installing
the American system of education.
Neither gentleman knew the other was
to be present, and the delight at meet
ing again after a period of many years
was mutual. In his opening remarks
Mr. Andnhar lauded Dr. Brumbaugh
for his splendid work In Porto Rico.
Teacher in Pulpit
Dr. Brumbaugh took his text front
the concluding part of the seventh
chapter of St. Matthew, immediately;
following the Sermon on the Mount: j
"And it came to pass that when
Jesus had ended these sayings the peo
ple were astonished at his doctrine,
for He taught them ns one having au
thority and not as the scribes."
Continuing he said:
"Nearly twenty centuries ago this
record was set down and has been read
throughout the enlightened world to
this day. The remarkable tiling about
lit can only be appreciated when you
stop to remember that at the time that
Jesus Christ walked out of the sun
light of God's abiding place into this
world of sin, and lifted up His ban
ners of hope and help, there were two
other great contending forces for the
control of the spiritual thought of the
l ace.
"'"or more than three centuries be
fore ills coming, over in Athens, in the
great capital of the Athenian culture,
philosopher after philosopher had
taught the people of the world, and
just before the conting of the Christ
in the Imperial capital of the province
in which He was born, another great
contending system of philosophy had
claimed right to be regarded as the
guidance of the human spirit.
Christ's Appeal to the Will
"The difference between the Greek
| and the Roman philosopher was thin:
-That a Greek philosopher appealing to
the people, or teaching the people,
always rested his argument upon the
logic of his position. If you read the
great Greek orations, you will find at
the conclusion of each and all of them
this general statement, 'having proven
this and that to be so, it becometh us,
O Athenians, rightly to heed these ut
terances,' resting the argument upon
the logic of the situation. If you turn
to the Roman orators and the Roman
speakers and teachers, you will find
that the appeal was not to the reason,
but to the emotions of the people.
Here in this sermon on the mount, ut
tered by the great Teacher of the
world, there Is no appeal to the reason
of the hearers, nor to the feelings of
the hearers, but to the will of the peo
| pie. 'Whosoever,' said He, at the
conclusion of this remarkable sermon,
| 'heareth these words of Mine and
Idoeth them. 1 will liken unto a wise
man; and whosoever heareth thepe
words of Mine, and doeth them not. 1
will liken him unto a foollsli man.'
"The difference between the two be
ing that one did and the other did
not respond to the teaching of the
Master.
Basis of Civilization
"Here you have in the teachings of
Jesus Christ the basis of all our mod
ern civilization, the appeal to the
will of the people and the fundamen
tally important doctrine that life is
measured not by one's emotions, nor
yet by one's thoughts, but by one's
deeds. The great Teacher understood
that a man might feel right and he!
might think right, and yet he might j
not do right.
"Plato's report in his < 'rito of the |
teachings of Socrates makes the greati
sophist say, 'and is it conceivable, '> |
Ce'bes, that any man knowing the right j
should fail to do it 7' The Master |
rests the ethics of His christian I
• 'hurch not upon the dogma of the!
church, but upon the character of its [
membership, and we cannot be good
Christians simply by subscribing to a
faith of a formulated dogma or creed;
we can only be good Christians when
we do the works of righteousness and
live as He taught us to live.
Story With a Moral
"Just after the Napoleonic wars,
when the cantons of Switzerland were
suffering from the invasion of their
enemies, the soldiers stricken doivn,
their widows and orphans suffering for
bread and shelter, an old teacher of!
God, a man who had in him the very |
spirit of Christ, walked the hillsides
of the Swiss cantons and carried com
fort and help to the poor and suffer
ing. on these journeys, not infre
quently, IK was accompanied by his
little grandson, eight years of age, and
one, day when they had traveled far
and visited many and saw much to
niuk» the heart bleed, the little fellow,
toddling by the side of his pious
grandfather said, as they went In the
twilight to their simple home: 'Grand
pa, when I am a man I shall take the
side of the poor.' It was the cry of
a boy's heart in answer to the suffer
ing of his kind.
"Twenty years after that, up in the
mountains of Switzerland, at the little
village of Neuhof, and later again at]
Stanz, he gathered the orphans and
the beggars of Switzerland into his
simple house; he put the children to
bed that he might with his own hands
mend their little garments when they
were torn and tattered. lie cooked
their food, he bathed their bodies, he
taught them. lie was the supreme
comforter of that neighborhood. It
was said by his biographer .that he
lived like a beggar that he might
teach beggars how to live like men.
it was the. most Christ-like service
done in all Europe. That was Henry
Pestalozzi, the founder of all your
modern educational enterprises, the
founder of the great normal school
first at Yverdon and later at liurgdorf,
In Switzerland, out of which has come
the cry throughout the world, both in
your public schools and in your Sun
day schools, that the people who teach
the truth to the childhood of the race
must be splendidly trained for that
service. He made his decision as a
boy, he kept it as a man.
The Result of Purpose
"It is said that v.'hen Abraham
I,lncoln was once the candidate for a
nominal office In Illinois, he said in a
little broadside which he passed to
the people of the country, 'I have been
i deprived of the opportunities of a good
education, but I believe in education,
and if ever the opportunity presents
itself I shall consider it a privilege
as well as a duty to further every ed
ucational privilege and opportunity
for my people. Twenty-three years
after that, when this country was in
the throes of a mighty civil war, and
that man was the President of the
United States, he paused In that
bloody conflict to sign the .Worrell
land art. establishing our great State
Agricultural College in this Union.
"One of the marvels of this day con
cerning Jesus Christ is how did He
live up to his thirtieth year? What j
did lie do?. Where was He? Howl
silent the record is! Vet anybody
reading His subsequent utterances well
may know that all those preparatory
years were crowded with study and
of meditation and of prayer and of
petition to His Father for wisdom and
understanding, so that when He came
as a teacher, licensed by the law of
His race He spnke as never man
spake, because he had made supreme
preparation to do a splendid thing.
Americans Too Much in a Hurry
"The trouble with us is here in this
American rush life of ours we want
in. a week or two to be trained to
| live all our lives, and we chafe un
der the delays of preparation.
"We want to (E?et Into the game,
and half of us come in so raw
land green and useless that we fall to
|do anything worth recording. If you
want to be a teacher in the Sun
|day school, if you want to be a
(teacher anywhere, if you want to be
ja business man or a good mother or
l any other supreme worthy thing in
this world, let me entreat of you in
j.the name of the example of the Christ
I of the world, prepare to do that thing
| well. There is also this thought—if
| there is power In one's preparation to
serve, power in one's presentation of
the truth, surely there is power in the
personality of the teacher. The great |
Christ was so gentle that men did
not at lirst know His .splendid
strength. tie was so kind that men
scarcely understood how firm He was. I
There was something in His person
ality that made people love Him.
"The purpose in a man's life saves
| him in the trials and tribulations of
! life, and steadies him to do, just as
the purpose of the Christ steadied
Him to do the righteous thing to the
very last. It is all a matter of put
ting yourself wholly into His divine
care and under his splendid teaching.
"Make Religion Supreme l'orce"
"May we somehow or other as a
great people here in this splendid
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania strive
by our purpose and our preparation
and our presentation nnd our person-]
alit.v to make religion the supreme di
rective force of all the citizenship of
this great Commonwealth of ours.''
Following the benediction everyone
in the congregation was given an op
portunity to greet Dr. Brumbaugh, "the
[man who some day may be President
of these United States."
| Many hard-fisted grizzled railroad
ers who run between liarrlsburg.
II Philadelphia and Altoona. shook the
hand of Dr. Brumbaugh and there
were tears in the eyes of many as they
told the preacher of the morning "it
was the best sermon they ever heard."
Dr. Brumbaugh met hundreds of
: his railroad friends who have moved
. to this city from Huntingdon, one old
man with silver hair walked up to him
: and said in a voice' that shook despite
■ his efforts to control himself. "Do you
• remember me, Martin?"
Remembers Old Carpenter
"Do I remember you?" said l)r.
Brumbaugh. "Do you think I'd forget
, you, Davy?"
It was Davy Unger, a carpenter, of
, Mechanicsburg, who built Dr. Brum
s baugh's house at Huntingdon many
> years ago. The aged carpenter came
I all the way from Mechanicsburg to
hear his old friend and employer talk
"I'm sorry all the boys on the road
can't hear you talk, doctor," said
i "Bill" Harding, an old Pennsylvania
LI Railroad engineer.
II "Huh," grunted another old veteran
>I of the rails, who was just shaking
11 hands with the doctor. "If they did,
I I'm afraid he'd get a hundred instead
, of ninety per cent, of the railroad
i vote."
: McCormlck on "Campaign Issues"
\ Vance C. McCormick, Democratic
candidate for Governor, spoke in the
' afternoon at the Fifth Street Church
. and Glfford Pinchot, Washington party
\ man for United States senator, made
' the address in the evening before a
. comparatively small audience.
Mr. McCormick's talk was political,
' | his remarks being based on what he
termed "the moral Issues of the cam-
I palgn." The issues, he said, are
' whether the people In official station
•I are nllve to the demands of the public
[ not only in service, but in common
' honesty. Care for the weak, the square
1 deal and the carrying of conscience
into dally life are what the peoole of
the State demand and what thev will
have, he declared.
TOO MUCH DUMPED
ON PUBLIC SCHOOL
Dr. Schaeffer Writes Report Brist
ling With Unusual Remarks
and Comments About It
Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, ob
jects to unloading upon the schools
every problem that needs solution and
handles the teaching of Rnglish and
the condition of the little red school
house without gloves in his annual re
port on educational matters in the
commonwealth. It reviews things up
to July 6 last and is one of the most
readable State documents put out in
many a day. Dr. Schaeffer proceeds
to comment upon certain latter-day
tendencies in very plain terms.
In the course of his remarks he
says: "Perhaps the teachers should
feel complimented by the number of
problems which are shied at the
schools for solution. The Bible, the
ballot, the flag, fires, forests, con
servation of our natural resources, the
high price of living, peace and war,
trades and industry, agriculture, hor
ticulture. commerce and home eco
nomics, manual training, moral train
ing. religious education, music, gym
nastics. swimming, dancing, social cen
ter activities, health, sanitation, vac
cination, medical Inspection, sex hy
giene, motherhood and a host of other
problems too numerous to mention are
handed over to the teacher after the
church, the newspaper, the com
munity, the police, the Y. M. C. A. and
the Y. W. C. A. have failed to furnish
a satisfactory solution."
Kqually trenchant Is the manner in
which the superintendent discusses
holidays: "Whenever a new idea strikes
a reformer, the schools are asked to
lift a collection or to set apart a day
for the promulgation of that idea be
cause It is apparent that every home
can be reached most easily through
the schools."
Too Many Holidays
A round dozen holidays are men
tioned In addition to "authors' days,
fair days and other special days" as
"permitted to interfere with the regu
lar routine of the school and to divert
the teachers' energies." on he
says "It should not bo assumed that
the child's attention may be drawn
PAIN IN THE BACK
Do not worry about a pain In your
back. The worry will do you more
harm than the pain. The serious dis
eases of the kidneys seldom or never
produce such pains, while the cause of
most backache is muscular rheuma
tism. which is painful but never fatal.
Lumbago is a form of muscular rheu
j mutism, so is stiff neck..
Sufferers from any form of mus
cular rheumatism affecting the Joints
should keep the general health at the
highest standard by the use of a non
alcoholic tonic like Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and eat good, nourishing food
without too much meat. Proper nu
trition and good blood are the best
means of fighting rheumatism. Medi
cines do not control the disease dl-
I rectly, but a well-nourished system
will often throw It off. Rheumatism
quickly thins the blood. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills act directly on the blood
and as they build it up and strengthen
the system there is an Increased resist
ance to the rheumatic poisons. In this
way many rheumatic sufferers have
found complete recovery.
A book, "Building Up the Blood,"
which tells about the treatment of
rheumatism. Is free "or the asklnft
from the Dr. Willi: • Medicine Co..
Schenectady. N. Y. W ,r own druggist
sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.—Adver
tisement,
while at school to all of the problems
by which one may be confronted in
adult years."
The growth of vocational, industrial
and agricultural education is praised
without stint, the activities of the bu
reaus in charge of such work being
mentioned and praise given to many
places, notably Altoona, Wilkes-Barre
and YVilllamsport.
As to English
Then Dr. Schaeffer turns aside from
this line to discuss English, saying:
"There is more adverse criticism of
the teaching of English than of any
other phase of school work. The col
leges blame the high schools and the
high schools berate the lower schools
for sending them pupils unable to use
good Knglish. The superintendents say
that the teaching of English In the
high schools, which get their teachers
from the colleges, will be Improved as
soon as the colleges improve their
teaching of English. The claim is
made that, inasmuch as the teachers
of graded schools are largely the prod
uct of the high school, there will be
better teaching in the grades as soon
as the high schools improve their
teaching. • » » Q Ur ora | language
is moulded by those with whom we
associate and our written language is
shnped by the literature we read and
study. Prom this law the children can
not escape, and more practice in the
art of expressing thought is needed in
all the schools from the elementary
grades to the college and the uni
versity."
In another place the doctor says
that the use of plurals, pronouns, ir
regular verbs and punctuation marks
is neglected through emphasis given
to parsing, diagraming and analysis
of sentences.
A plea Is made for study of Penn
sylvania history, the superintendent
remarking: "The state has a para
mount interest in preparation for citi
zenship. No one is fit to cast a ballot
If he is ignorant of the origin and
history of our free institutions."

that the dreadful things that were
predicted as likely to happen when

After the law was interpreted, say<;
Dr. Kohaeffer, "the teacher:-', although

toms, proved themselves to be law

William Penn started his province still

Schaeffer says some of the tire pre
vention literature is more likely to
put ideas into the heiids of hoys than
to inculcate the wholesome dread of
the danger and waste of (ire that th■;
state desires.
"Section 1211 of the school code
provides for the addition of $5 to the
minimum salary of every teacher,"
remarks the doctor. "In view of tin
increased cost of living, this provision
should be made operative without de
lay."
The rural school, the little red
school house. Is declared to offer the
"most perplexing educational
leni to-day." The progress in rural
schools has not been satisfactory, th'i
legislature has tried to help, hut it
lias not done enough, and the school
code relief did not go far enough, al
though It took money from the citien
and gave it to the remoter districts. In
conclusion lie says:
"What the rural districts need now,
above everything else, is more money
for better buildings and better teach
ers and better high ways for tho
transportation of the. pupils.
