HOW The AIR WILL
RESTORE GRAY HAIR
A Proved Method by Which Gray
and Faded Hair Is Made Nat.
ural Color. Not a Dye.

Are YOU one of the thousands suffer-
ing from premature old age caused by
gray hairs-and yet you. think that
nothing can prevent it?
Science has worked out a most eff
cient restorative for just such cases as
yours. BY it you bring back to their
natural color the whitening strands
that are so rapidly destroying your
youthful appearance. You can also keep
others from coming in. Not by dyes,
but by so simple a process as the action
of air through the use of Hays HAIR
Health.
This is a natural method. Hays
Hair Health contains elements which
stimulate each hair and hair root. In
addition 1t contains an ingredient
which, when applied, causes the faded
gray hairs to be gradually but surely
restored to color, through the action of
oxygen In the air Nothing could be
simpler or more effective
According to all druggists who
sell and recommend Hays Hair Health.

popularity in Washington. They have

Marshal Nicholson today began q rigid
investigation Of a small fire last night
an a closet in the girls dormitory, on
the third floor of the building.
The fire was the fourth mysterious
b aze that has occurred in less than a
month. On the night OF October 20 the
building was damaged $500. A few
days later fire was discovered in a
closet off one of the rooms and was
distinguished after doing $50 damage.
Last Saturday night there was a small
fire in the hallway, and last night a
fourth mysterious fire was discovered.
The blaze last night, although easily
eXtinguiShed, created much excitement
among the girl students who occupy the
dormlntOry. At the time the blaze was
discovered most of the students were
attending a lecture, but the arrival of
the fire engines broke up the class,

UNDERGROUND PHONE
LINES USED BY SPY
Russians Long BaffIed in Search
for Means by Which Move
ments Were Reported.

PETRoGRAD, Oct. "a (by mail to
New YorD.-Fresh examples of the
ingenuity displayed by German spies are
being discovered almost daily. and the
utmost vigilance has to be maintained
In territory occupied by Russian troops
Recently It became apparent that in
formation as to the positions and move
ments of troops at Insterberg was being
conveyed to the enemy, but, try as they
might. the Russians could not locate
the spy or fathom his methods There
were no telegraph or telephone wires
available nor was it possible for
couriers to do the work. BY day or
night the so-called optical connec-
tons s'-Heliographs, lights. smoke, etc
could not exist, yet the Germans were
obtaining accurate and rapid informa-
ton.
The Russian staff came to the con-
clusion that the only solution was sub
marine lines laid before the outbreak of
hostilities. This assumption was justi-
fed in several instances, and in the vii
lage Of MargraboT. the local school
teacher was found to be using a tele-
phone, the instrument and wires of
which. were hidden in a hat box. The
Russians had searched the mans house,
but the hat box lying among a heap of
mems, womens and children's clothes
in wardrobe attracted no attention.
From this hat box the telephone wires
went to places where German troops
were stationed. and the operator actu-
ally had small branch exchange by
which he could communicate with par
ticular commanders.
The spy gained his information either
by his own observation or from Russian
soldiers whom he called into his home
and regaled with dainties, the while he |
was pumping" them as to their move
ments. AS soon as the telephone was
discovered the Russians telephoned 20 |
the Germans some false and misleading |
information, with satisfactory results |
to themselves. and then destroyed the |
instrument. The teacher was shot.
