Republican Element Stro 1g.

The reason for their belief lies in the
great numerical strength and activity
of the extreme republican element in
China. DR.. sun Vat Sen. the first pro-
visional president of China, now is in
exile, presumably in Japan or the Ma
lay states. He is known to have much
influence with his own party at home,
and is receiving support, morally and
financially. from thousands of Chinese
in the United States. The doctors in
fluence is believed to be sufficient to
start formidabl measures to preserve
the republic.
Some officials here suspect that the
new movement really has been en-
gineered by enemies of Yuan Shi kai,
who resent the almost dictatorial pow
ers he now possesses and. fearing that
he may use the permiSSive legislation
of the short lived Chinese congress to
claim a second term at the expiration
of his present tenure, are seeking to
alarm the republican elements and de-

Workers in Eastern and Middle
Western Sections Appeal to
Executive Board.

Requests for permission to go on
strikes which will involve large num-
Der of machinists throughout the east

States are being considered by the ex-
ecutive board of the International As
sociation of Machinists, in session to-
day at its headquarters in the Nc

sessions probably Will continue
throughout the week.
1t is impossible to estimate how many
men Will be affected in case the re
quests are granted. but it is known to
be large number. The machinistS
are vigorous in their demands for a
shorter working day in place of the
present one of nine to ten hours.
President W. II. Johnston. chairman
of the executive board. explained this
afternoon that if possible strikes would
be averted. The employers must
meet the demands of the men half

give the men that which is just. We

desire on the part of both organized
and unorganiZed machinists to get a
shorter working day at this time. This.
the machinists feel, is the time when
conditions are most propitious for their
demands because of the abnormal con-
ditions, making a great call for me-
chanics. Factories in both the east and
west are running night and day to fill
orders, principally for tool-making ma
chimes and munitions of war, it was
pointed out.
Before any strike can be called the
men affected directly must demand it,
according to the laws of the lnterna-

having already been done, it is neces-

COMB SAGE TEA IN
u|FELESS, GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens SO
Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkcned. glossy and abund
ant with IA brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair fell out
or took on that dull, faded or
streakcd appearance. this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect BY asking at any drug store
for ''Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound" you will get Il large bottle of
this old-time recipe, ready to use, for
about 30 cents. This simple mixture
can be depended upon to restore nat
ural color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
\ wcll-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, because it darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied-its so
easy to use. too. You simply dampen
IL comb or soft brush and draw it
through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears: after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and
abundant.

A well-known authority states
that stomach trouble and indigestion
is nearly always due to acidity-acid

He states that an excess OF hydro
ch!oric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-

and gases which initiate the stomach
like toy balloon. We thcn get that

have heartburn. ilatulence, water

He tells us to lay aside all diges

pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take Il tablespoonful in Il glass of
water before breakfast while it is ell
fervescing, and furthermore to con-
tinue this for one week. While re-
