President made two most Important
pronouncements. First he declared ab

denounced the action of the "new nul

especially to New York and Governor
Smith. Of this he said:

How we live is the hli-important

a real man can get into his duty to

of the narrowest-minded, men we ever

It might help some to sit down and
calmly think, after the struggle of
4 .he day, what you have submerged
of your better self or what you have
sacrificed of the ideals you possibl
once had, during the hours which you
hav e just passed through. The man
who abuses his conscience or by his
ontinual abuse has seared this moral
guide, is in danger. A man's cattle |

SAGE TEA TURNS

That beautiful, even shade of dark,

application or two of Sage and Sul

Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients at a small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.

During the past year more than
900 children committed suicide in this
country. This is almost twice the
number recorded in 1919. What more
serious indictment is to be brought
against our present day civilization?
What are the causes for this shock
ing increase in self-destruction among
those who have life before them"'
Who is to blame?
Grown-ups look upon the trials of i
childhood lightly. They are seen
much as manifestations of puppy love, ;
but when they take such toll it is |
time that their elders take stock of !
themselves and study the conditions
which provoke such tragic reaction to
the facts of life. The home environ
ment is not infrequently responsible
for the distorted views which these
young people hold. All too often the
parents are unable to reconcile them
selves to the ways of youth. What
ever the mental disorder suffered by
these unfortunates, the conditions
which bring it about are seldom of
their making. It is a responsibility
of parenthood to aid the young in
meeting the crises which come into
their lives- All who have a part in i
their training should so educate thém
that they will be able to meet brave
ly the unpleasant things of life and |
to avoid the emotional excesses which
lead to tragedy.
The plea of distraught parents that
they did not know their offspring
was suffering or distressed is often 1
only a confession, of neglect and at
best an admission of failure to un
derstand their own flesh and blood
That the fears which drive them to
suicide are not infrequently baseless
and the result of threats and intimid
ations voiced with the idea of improv
ing their deportment, makes the situ
ation the more pathetic.
