Armistice Proclaimed

Constantinople, December An official note issued this evening says: An arms- tice has been concluded with Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro. The state of war with Greece continues"
 Although the complete terms of the protocol have not been made public, 1t is learned that the question of revictualling the beeaguered towns was abandoned, the government being satisfied that the towns were sufficiently supplied with foodstuffs to last until the conclusion of peace.
 The only condition mentioned in the official communication to the press is that tho troops will remain in the positions now occupied It is understood no limit has been placed on the armistiee, which may be terminated by 4s hours notice by either side.
 It Is reported the Turkish and Bulgar- ion delegates will meet again tomorrow at Baghtche to arrange preliminaries for the peace conference.
 What Is the Real Reason?
 Speculation is rife as to the real reason for the failure of Greece to sign the armstice It is generally felt that the mere rejection of the special Greek de- mands did not constitute sufficient req son for Greece's independent attitude. These demands were the equalization or Janina and the surrender of the Turkish troops in the Islands of Chios and Myti- lene.
 In some quarters the attitude of Greece is ascribed to megalomania-the type of insanity where the ideas are exalted. Ac- cording to another view, Turkey has suc- ceeded in putting wedge between Greece and the slav states. the> friction between the Greeks and the Bulgarians at Saloniki being adroitly utilized with that object. The situation has created an apparent split in the Balkan league and has aroused the liveliest interest in all circles and there is much curiosity re- specting the final outcome.
 Meanwhile preparations for the conclu- sion of peace with Bulgaria. Servia and Montenegro are being proceeded with. It has been agreed that the negotiations shall take place in London and with good will on both sides. it is hoped they will be concluded in about eight days This, with the conclusion of peace. the Slav states and Turkey will be free to devote all their energies against Greece.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair, Cures Dandruf,
Stops Falling Hair.

What pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and iustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandrutf or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nizeA by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If YOU are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming ont, get d
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance of
your hair after few days treatment

find a short program that contained
greater variety of real comedy. This
is the strongest element In the bill
and each act is a scream from be-

Henning are a clever team of comedy
singers and dancers. For an eccen-

Henning is the best ever. He is even
superior to that old master, Doc

being delightful in dancing and
singing, and her cornet solo, Beau

tractively rendered.
AS a comedian Cal Stewart is a

men of Waxahachie and the city en-

company and Stone & Webster in

are building electric lines from
Dallas to that town

enter Waxahachie has proved to be
knotty problem. The citizens are
opposed to the plan of laying track
on both sides of College and Wash
ington streets, through which thor
oughfares the two interurbans de-
sire to build. The city council has
already granted a franchise to
Stone & Webster, and the Southern
Traction company now has on file
an application for franchise.

partially approved, providing for
