HIGH PRAISE FOX soar AND WATER

Soap. water sunlight and fresh
air are far more favorable in pre-
venting the spread of infectious dis
eases than is disinfection by fumi-
cation. This was the opinion express
ed recently at the meeting of the
American Public Health Association
at Rochester, N. 7. by most of the
health experts who took part in the
discussion of the control of infect
ious diseases. 1t was declared that
thorough cleaning with soap and
water. fresh air and sunlight, and
particularly renovation-repainting
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES needed
were more efficient method of dis
infection than is fumigation.
AS a matter of fact disinfection
by fumigation has been discontinue
ed by the department of health in
New York City. Investigations were
made as to the results of the dis
continuance Of fumigation, and it
was found that absolutely no in
crease in the number of secondary
infections followed; in fact, in the
boroughs where fumigation was re-
tanned as the only means of dis
injecting, more numerous were
found to be the infections.
1t is evident that soap and water,
sunshine and fresh air are indispen-
sable and real disinfectants whether
fumigation is used or not. But as
to the real value Of either process
the results depend upon the daily
care and cleanliness exercised dur
ing the entire period of infection
Soap and water, as valuable as they
are as disinfectants, will not be suf-
ficient in one splash or application
to remove all means of further in
lection where there is carelessness
with an infectious case. On the
other hand, little incense burnt
to the gods of contagious diseases
at the end of the illness will no,
atone for all the careless coughing
and splitting and careless handling

DARkEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and
SulT hur darkens so naturally
that nobody can tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
ana Sulphur, properly compounded
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray
also ends dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make +
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large bot
tie OF this famous old recipe for about
SO cents.
Don't stay gray. Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened yO1rr
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or sol
brush with it and draw this through yoir
hair, taking one small strand at time:
BY morning the gray hair disappears, ahf
after another application or two, yolII
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.

Wilson Sends Reply
to Gerard's Messages

Cornish. y. H.. July 7.-President
Wilson spent several hours to-day
studying messages from Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin, outlining the posi-
tion Of the German government tow
ard submarine warfare, and later for
warded a reply TO Secretary Lansing
which was understood 70 contain in
structions as to what should be COM
municated to the Foreign Office at Ber
lin.
The President refused 10 discuss his
message TO Secretary Lansing. He
would not say whether he considered
the suggestions Of the German gov
eminent favorable or unfavorable. nor
how soon he expected the present for
nal negotiations TO terminate. 1t Is
known. however. that he now expects
the German reply to arrive in Wash
ingt0n some time next week, and is
planning to return there TO work out
the American reply with Secretary
LlrSin and other advisers.
Consideration Of the Mexican Ques-
tion. including the political situation
and the problem of getting food to the
sufferers, will occupy much of the
Presidents attention tomorrow. An
unusually long code dispatch on the
subject reached here tonight, but il
was not deciphtred in time for the
President 10 read.
When not at work to-day the Presi-
dent was playing golf near here and
automobilng through Vermont and
New Hampshire with relatives. To-
hight he gathered his family about him
at Harlakenden House and read to
them
President Wilson was surprised in
passing through one Vermont town in
his automobile when he was welcomed
by practically the entire population.
who stood along the roadside and
waved American flags and cheered. The
Tcople had been notified few minutes
earlier from another town that he was
on his way there In the crowd were
many small children. The automobile
was slowed down while the President
took off his hat and bowed.

Continued from page l

or continued efforts 10 escape by fight

Of visit on the part of the merchant
men has ever been held TO forfeit the
lives of her passengers or crew
All these points are summarized and
reiterated in the concluding paragraph
Of this note. which reads
THE government of the United States
cannot admit that the proclamation Of a
wal zone from which neutral ships
have been warned to keep away may be
made TO operate As in any degree an
Authorization of the rights either OF
American Shipmastcrs or American cit
liens bound on lawful errandS as pas

ent nationality. 1t does not understand
the imperial German government 10
question those rights. Il understands
il, also. to accept as established beyond
question the principle that the lives of
n-combatantS cannot lawfully or
rightfully be put in jeopardy by the
capture or destruction of an unrcsist-
ing merchantmen, and TO recognize the
obligation TO take sufficient prccautlon
TO ascertain whether a suspected mer-
chairman is Of fact of belligerent ma
tionality or is of fact carrying contra
band of war under a neutral flag. The
government of the United States deems
IL reasonable TO expect that the i'm
pcrial German government Will adopt
the measures necessary to put these
principles into practice in respect OF
the safeguarding of American lives and
American ships, and asks for assurances
that this will be done
Taking these declarations in conjunc-
tion with the closing observation of the
first Lusitania note. that "the imperial
German government will not expect
the government of the United States to
omit any word or act necessary to the
performance Of its sacred duty of main
tanning the rights Of the United States
and its citizens, and of safeguarding
their free exercise and enjoyment Of
fcials see no point that could reason
ably be raised by Germany which Is
not covered in these documents.
The general opinion Is, therefore,
that there will be no further informal
exchanges of opinion between the gov
ernments. and the German government
will draft it's reply without the aid of
the State Department.
The understanding here is that Am
bassador Gerard's message contained
counter proposals from the German
government. asking for certain guar
antees which officials believe the Go"-
eminent could not consistently make.
Secretary Lansing said he had re-
ceived no confirmation Of the pub
lished report that the German note
would be handed to Ambassador Ger
ard on Saturday.
