barge a second nonintercourse act was
substituted, which. though it pracu-
cally prohibited trade with the great
warning powers of Europe, gave some
promise of improving the condition OF
commerce. With this change Madison
became president, March 4, 1909. The
nonintercourse with Great Britain was
suspended three months later, but was
again put in force soon afterward. The
year 1909 proved the nonintercourse
ineffective, more injurious TO Amer1-
cans than to England and France, for
now both powers had a chance to en-
rich themselves by enforcing the laws
Of the United States against her own
commerce. In 1910 Napoleon, with i'm
punity. seized S10,O00,0O0 worth of
property. In 1911 congress prohibited
all importations Of English goods. This
| caused some alarm in England, but
there was no abatement Of impress
ments.
WIDENING OF THE BREACH
While the ire of America was con-
stantly rising there came the news in
May, 1911, only three months before
most Of the congressional elections
were to be held, Tat the English sloop
Little Belt had practically annihilat-
ed the United States frigate Presi-
dent. Other events occurred during
the summer and autumn of 1911 which
tended to widen the breach with Eng
land. The Indians OF the western
frontier formed a confederation against
the United States. The famous Shaw
nee chief Tecumseh was at the head
OF the movement. In a battle on Nov.
Z, 1911, in western Indiana. General
William Henry Harrison gained a com

that the British had instigated his at
tack.
When the next congress was elected
and Henry Clay was made speaker a
warlike feeling existed in that body.
After long and weary debates war final
ly was declared against Great Britain
on June Is. 1912. The army at that
time amounted to 6,744 regulars. which
was increased to $4,000 by congress,
and a law provided for a second volun-
teer army Of $4,000 men. The regular
army during the war never exceeded
10000.
The conquest Of Canada was first
sought after. General William Hull
crossed the Detroit river with 1850
men in July. 1912. but was defeated
by Major General Brock of the Eng
lish army. More than 1000 men,
thirty-three guns and the whole state
of Michigan were thus lost in the first
part of the contest.
The campaign of 1913 was centered
around Lake Erie. 1t was here that
Commander Perry gained his great

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling Of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
Of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
''looking fit'' gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy viii give your hair youthful
color and beauty in a few days time :?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used a Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
We have an ideal preparation of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
bic remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in a short
time it VIII remove every trace Of dan
druf and greatly improve the growth
and appearance Of the hair.

druggist today, and notice the difference
IN your hair after a few days treat
ment- All druggists sell II, under guar
