HALIFAX REPORT
ON PROCEDURE

Halifax. \. S. Dec. 3.-The proce-
dure in the cases of the American
steamship Hooking and the Danish
steamer Hamborn. acquisitions for
which have been applied for by the
British government, was made public
today.
The applications, made to Justice
Drysdale sitting as a judge of the
prize court. were presented under the
provision of the prize rules promul-
gated shortly after the outbreak of
the war. Under the rules as they ex-
listed until March of this year, neutral
ships and goods could not be requisi-
toned. AS a result the order-in- council
was passed revoking the existing rules
relating to requisitionins by which the
saving clause regarding neutra! ships
and goods was eliminated.
Justice Drysdale granted the appii
cations and the necessary orders were
issued.

The supply Of grave diggers is not sum
cient to meet the demand and bodies very
often have to lie in the open for con-
siderable length before being buried.
So far the foreign colonies have not
suffered severely. though a number of
cases of the disease have been reported
in the American colony in the past two
days.
The high price of fuel has made
bathing, never a popular pastime in
Mexico rarer than ever. This has
caused the disease to spread to the
more well-to-do classes. The mortality
among the lower classes is very high
The stock of medicines in the city Is
very low and such as are to be had
are high priced as to be beyond the
reach of any but the richer classes.
Medical attendance for a great ma
jorlty of the sufferers is out Of the
question, due to lack of funds.
Unless drastic measures are taken
by the authorities, it is predicted by
physicians that the plague will sweep
the capital and neighboring towns.

Don't Look oIdI Try Grandmother's
Recipe TO Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle Of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy. soft and abundant. Adv.
