FEW FOLKS Have
GRAY HAIR now
Well known local druggist
says everybody is using old
time recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

, Hair that loses its color and
luster. or when it fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by a
lack of sulphur in the hair. Our
( grandmother made up a mixture
! OF Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful. and
} thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beauti-
ful dark shade Of hair which is SO
attractive, use only this old-time
( recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
} pound" which darkens the hair SO
! naturally, so evenly, that nobody
I can possibly tell it has been ap-
( piled. Besides. it takes off dan
druff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen al
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that,
J besides beautifully darkening the
}hair after few applications, it also
! brings back the gloss and luster
and gives it an appearance of
abundance.

Contractors Who Constructed New
Road Into Fairmont Have All
Been Paid.

A train was run over the lines of
the Buckhannon & Northern Railroad
into this city as far as A street yes
terday. The train brought up some
supplies for the road. The construc-
ton work on the road is now practi-
cally completed.
The contractors who have been in
charge of building the new road into
Fairmont have all completed their
work satisfactory to the company
and have been paid off. Only little
finishing work remains to be done to
complete the new road.
At present the overhead crossing at
Newton street is demanding consider
able attention. The concrete work
here is not yet all completed and this
is preventing the completion of the
track through the city. This work will
be finished within the next few days
however, and the new road will then
be completed through the East Side.
1t was announced yesterday that
the road will be in the best of condi-
ton by April 1, and that trains would
by that time be operated into the city

WEST VIRGINIA 2-CENT
FARES CASE DECIDED

WASHINGTON, Mar. 8.--Declar-
ing that freight and other railroad
earnings need not be considered in
determining whether reduced pas
senger fare is confiscatory, the SUI
preme Court today refused to enforce
West Virginia's 2-cent fare law a.
gainst the Norfolk & Western Rail-
road.
Decisions regarding validity of the
West Virginia 2-cent fare law had
been withheld for months.
1t was one of the famous "2-cent
rate cases" from Minnesota and other
States left undecided, because it in
volved the new principal of separat-
ing or combining freight and passen-
ger earnings as a standard to decide
whether the lower passenger rate was
confiscatory or not.
The Norfolk & Western contended
the law was confscatory because the
passenger earnings alone-did not
yield sufficient return on the invest
ment.
The State contended that intrastate
freight and other earnings should be
considered and the law enforced, I'M
less it could be shown that the rail
roads whole interstate business
passenger and freight was unprofit-
able. The railroad attorneys con
tended each class of business, freight
and passenger, must pay its own way.

STEEL MILLS RESUME AND
COAL MARKET IMPROVES.

Advices from Newburg telling of
the firing of over a hundred coke
ovens at Austin, in Preston-cU., after
a years idleness and the report from
the same source that there is mark
ed improvement in the coal trade of
that county, was but one of the many
evidences of returning prosperity re-
ported yesterday. From the various
steel centers came the news that the
mills were resuming full operation
yesterday. Because the coal business
depends largely upon the activities in
the steel circles, the indications are
that this region will be in full opera
ton within short time.
Dispatches from Youngstown, Ohio
yesterday stated that the steel mills
of the famous Mahoning Valley were
resuming full operation on Monday
and that some of the plants were un-
dergoing repairs that would increase
their capacities in order that they
may take care of the new business in
sight. In Pittsburgh yesterday orig
mated the report that the contracts
for the construction of many new
ocean liners necessitated the manu-
facture Of over 5000 tons of STEEL and
that the mills in that section wou d be
put to full capacity in the INN @iiate
future.
At Gary, Indiana, company which
purchases its fuel supply from local
coal concern and which has been oper
ating about 60 per cent of its capac-
ity for the past few weeks, reported
that it would be running full force
before the end of the month. An or
der for 10000 tons Of structural ma
terial has just been received and or
ders for all engineers, draughtmsn
and other experts not at work, to re-
port for duty, have been issued.

officials of Buckhannon & Northern
Inspecting.

1t has been learned on good author
ity that several officials and engineers
of the Buckhannon & Northern Rail
road have in the past few days been
looking over the ground for route
to Belington. 1t is understood that
the officials are undetermined as to
which of two routes to select, that
by Grafton or that by Clarksburg.
The road is now running trains in to
Fairmont and expect to continue the
line to Belington. In fact tracks have
been built for some time out of Be-
lington. When such an operation is
completed Elkins will naturally be the
terminal as the Buckhannon & North
ern is controlled by the Western
Maryland. Such a concession would
give the road an outlet to tidewater,
and would be of great benefit to this
city.-Randolph Review.

ORD RESIGNS FROM
DEBT COMMISSION

CHARLESTON, March 5.-William
Q. Ord, Of Landgraff, has resigned as
a member Of the West Virginia debt
commission, recently reduced in size,
Mr.. Ord's nomination as a member of
the new commission having been con-
firmed by the senate in the closing
hours OF regular session.
Mr.. Ord, who was in Charleston to-
day, says it is true that he has re-
signed, and that his resignation has
been in the hands of the governor for
week. He does not understand why
the governor has not acted on it, and
he is surprised that it has not been
acted upon before now. Mr.. Ord de-
clined to say why he has resigned,
stating that his reasons were fully
set forth in his letter to the governor,
and that any information in that re-
spect should come from the governor.
1t is generally believed that the
relations between Mr.. Ord and the ex-
ecutive are not as cordial as they for
merly were.

SECRET POLICY
ADOPTED BY U. S.

WASHINGTON, Mar. Because
OF the almost universal belief here
that Italy and the Balkan States will
enter the war in short time, the
Administration has yelled all its
pending negotiations in secrecy.
Secretary of State Bryan refused
to disclose the text of the messages
to England and France, asking them
to tell how they intend to shut off
German commerce.
This was because it is believed the
matter will involve protracted nego-
tiations and every precaution is to be
taken to prevent premature publicity
from embarrassing both sides.
So 1t will not arouse resentment in
and Germany the United States is do
ing its best to secure an understand
ing with England and France regard
ing American trade which will abso-
lutely demonstrate this governments
disinterested neutrality.
This is said to be the chief reason
for the Governments new policy of
complete reticence.

CONSOLIDATION COAL
co. SHIPS 100 CARS
DAILY OVER w. N.
Coal Situation Is Steadily ImpTov-
ing In Every Field.

The coal situation Is getting bright
er each day as spring approaches, and
it is predicted that it will not be
many moons until the mines through
out the entire country will be running
normally.
The Consolidation Coal Company N
the Frostburg region is mining coal
right along and in addition to the cars
railroad, the company is shipping
daily one hundred carloads over the
Western Maryland.
1t was stated some weeks ago when
the Consolidation Coal Company let
big bond issue that much Of the
traffic originating from this company
would be carried to the coal markets
by the Western Maryland. This state
ment was made on account Of the ru-
NOR that the Rockefeller interests
were behind the purchase Of the de-
benture bonds sold by the coal com
pany. which, at the expiration of two
years, are convertible into stock of
possibly the biggest soft coal concern
in the United States.
The fact that the Rockefellers are
interested in the Western Maryland
and the fact that traffic is being d..
verified to that line gives further as
surance that the conjecture that the
Rockefellers are behind the bond pur-
chase is correct.
Rockefeller is dispelling the finan-
cial difficulties of the Western Mary
land was assured that the traffic OF
the road would be increased and one
Of the greatest contributing factors
in increasing the tonnage on this
road will be the shipment Of the pro-
ducts Of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany over the line.
Not only is the shipment Of the
Maryland field tributary to the West
ern Maryland but the company's pro-
duction in the Somerset field can be
shipped over the Western Maryland.
At meeting Of the Consolidation
sales agents with the officials Of the
operating department, plans for the
of the year were thorough
~ gone over and it was given out at
that time that the outlook for increas-
ed business was very encouraging.

FACTIONS DEMAND u. S.
INTERVENE IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Mar. 8.-Extreme
pressure to force American armed
Intervention in Mexico has been re-
newed on the Wilson Administration
The pressure comes from three
sources. Leading are the European
diplomats in Mexico City, who back
ed Gen. Huerta and are naturally APP
prehensive for their safety.
Then comes the financial interests
OF the United States, Great Britain
and Germany, whose Investments are
not returning anything because Of the
troubled conditions il the country.
The third class comprises the advo-
Gates Of dividing Mexico into two
states and those who resent the abuse
which has been heaped on the priests
and nuns Of the Mexican church by
both sides.
President Stands Firm.
10 all who have brought the ques-
ton to their attention, President Will
son and Secretary Bryan have declar-
ed that the President was standing
firm on his utterances at indianapolis
that the United States has no rigk..
to intervene.
Only one thing will change CHS pol
icy and that will be general mas
sacre Of Americans and other foreign
ers.
There is no attempt in official quar-
tiers to disguise the almost intolera-
BILE seriousness of the Mexican situa-
ton. General Obregon's. incendiary
attitude at Mexico City has made the
lives and property of foreigners there
unsafe.

1t is reported that the Baltimore &

IL the Consolidation Coal Go. gives
its tonnage to the Western Maryland

business men say, because the B. &

from what is now the G. & G. Railway
and new mines would likely be opened
at once.
This would give the B. & O. line
