That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggy, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance a hum dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store g. 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thick ness and lustre of your hair and re- move dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so natu rally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied You simply dampen a sponge or sofe brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has dis appeared, and after another applica- tion it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abun- dant.

Late Diners in All Night Restaurant Treated to MorseI Not Down on

"The uniform e wore, it wasn't much And rather less than arf of that
 beind."
 Thus did Rudyard Kipling describe Gunga Din, the regimental water carrier. Gunga was supposed to have lived and died with a bullet in his spleen" a number of years ago. It re- remained for a Church street man to give a 1915 limitation of the famous 5Gunga 1ast~evening in an all night T lestaurant not for from the scene of his little pink cot and the only reason he didn't hit the floor with bullet in his own spleen was because no one had a gun.
 His entrance was similar to that effected by. the central character in '"The Face on the Barroom Floor" He "blew' in. This was his attire: One hat, one jacket, two pairs of "unmentionables." Not another stitch. A number of women were dsposing of a late lunch when It entered. All diners who had cast their orbs over It gasped. A waiter, recovering his wits quicker than the rest, ran from behind the counter and tied an apron around the new ar rival while the women Uttered and tried to settle down to the business of eating.
 Several minutes clicked into history before an explanation was forthcom- ing. Then the apparation informed the assembled guests that he had been sleeping in his room a short dis tance away when he awoke with a vacuous feeling just beneath his belt. He decided to abolish the vacuum and bied himself to the restaurant. While Somnus still had his brain in tow he dressed himself-or thought he did By mistake he put on two pairs of "unmentionables'' instead of one pair and his trousers. He could not ex- plain the absence of his shoes or stockings. Must a forgot (hic) ten them" he guessed.

Letter from Secretary Bryan Defines
Our Neutrality Policy.
Photo by American Press Association

WASHINGTON, Jan. -. - The
United States government yesterday
issued long defense of its iuterpre-
tarion of the rights and duties of a
neutral in the European war The
government denies statements that il
has indirectly aided the allies against
N,rmany and Austria.
\ document 5000 words loug. pre-
pared by President Wilson. Secretary
BRYAN and Counsellor Robert Lansing
OF the state department, after several
days of consultation, was made public
in the form of q letter from the See
rotary of State to Senator Stone CT
Missouri, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations.
While the letter Is n reply to an IN
quiry from Senator Stone for informal
tion as a result Of complaints made in
the press and in letters from various
parts of the country charging the
Washington government with unfair
ness to Germany and Austria, it also
is intended as a procurement of pol
| icy on some questions of neutrality
previously unexplained.
After answering 10 separate and spe-
| ciiic charges, the letter calls attention
TO the. fact that the L nited States has
| promptly taken to task Great Britain
| as well as Germany and every govern
ment which in any way has infringed
upon the rights of this country. The
| statement closes with a declaration on
| the much-discussed question OF the ex-
portati0n of war munitions.
Some of the salient points of the
| BRYAN letter are as follows:
The duty Of q neutral to restrict
trade in munitions of war has never
been imposed by international law OF
by municipal statute.
The United, States has, so far as pos
sible, lent its influence toward equa
treatment for all belligerents in tn,
matter Of purchasing arms and ammu
milton of private persons in the Unit
ed States. r. .-
There is a clearly defined difference
between war loan and the purchase
OF arms and ammunition.
As no German warship has sought t.
obtain coal in the Canal Zone tn
charge of discrimination rests upon
possibility which has failed to mate
rialize.- --,.-.
1t is the business of. belligerent op
Grating on the high seas, not the dut,
of q neutral, to prevent. c0ntraban,
from reaching an enemy.
It would be an unneutra1 act, an ac
of partiality on the part cf this GOV
eminent, to adopt such policy (to pre-
vent trade in cOntrahand) e I

ative naval strength of the belligerent,
