Kept her locks youthful, dark, glossy, and thick with common garden
 Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one can tell, because it's done so naturally. so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trouble some For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound You just dampen I sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morn ing all gray hair disappears, and, af- ter another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened. glossy and iuxuriant You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair nas stopped falling.
 Gray, faded bair, though no dis grace, is sign of old age, and as we III desire q youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. -----.------.-

Paris, Jan. IS, Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The story has reached Paris of how school teach CT sacrificed himself to save tn 3 mayor, cure and a number of citizens of his village in the Aisne, a few miles from the Belgian frontier.
 After the battle of Charleroi, the Germans captured the village of D. without firing a shot, and a company of the Prussian Guards made it their headquarters for two days. Toward the end of the second day, while the Germans were preparing to leave the village, shot rang from noone knows where. The German of- ficer in command hastened at once to the mayor. A dozen hostages werer required upon the spot, to be shot before nightfaH; if the guilty man was not denounced or did not give himself up. No one had been hit by the shot but the officer declared that he had heard the bullet whistle close to his head

Lieutenant General Anatole Mikhailo- witch Stoessel, the defender of Port Arthur, is announced in a Petrograd dispatch to Reuters Telegram com pany. General Stoessel had suffered from paralysis for several months.
 Lieutenant General Stoessel was fla nous as the commander of the Rus sian troops at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war After he had held out there for months against the furious onslaughts of the Japanese, Stoessel, his ammunition all but eX- hausted, and his men virtually with out food, surrendered the fortress to General Nogi
 Condemned to Death.
 For this action he was condemned to death on February 20, 1908, by courtmartial. This sentence, however, was commuted by Emperor Nicholas to ten years imprisonment. He was released from confinement from the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul the following year by order of Emperor Nicholas.
 The trial of Stoessel was a dramatic one throughout. General Smirnoff, who was acting of the fortress, categorically accused Stoes- sel of cowardice and incapacity and of deliberate treason in hastening the surrender in order to save his own life. Other officers gave similar tes- timony, but General Kuropatkin, the Russian comm chief, was one of his staunch supporters.
 SloVncss Aided Russians.
 Kuropatkin testified that the Jap anese could have taken Port Arthur by assault in the early days of the war, and that their slowness alone gave the Russians time to improve the defense works so that the posi- tion could be held for several months.
 General Nogi and other high Jap anese officers offered to appear be- fore the courtmartial and testify in behalf of General Stoessel, but their offer was declined The trial excited intense interest in army circles in Russia, where various factions a gitat- edTfof or against General StOessel.
 Accepted Entire Responsibility.
 Tn summing up for General Stoes- sel at the courtmartial, M. Syrtlanoff closed his address by declaring that Stoessel accepted the entire responsi biity for the surrender of Port Ar thur, and that if the court decided hat the surrender was a crime, "I ask for. the death sentence.'
 Stoessel was torn in 1S4S and en- cred the army in 1864. He came from a military family, his grand father, General ivan Stoessel, having fought against Napoleon. StOessel | served with tho Bulgarian militia turing the sso-Turlish war of 1S77-7S and topls part in the Chinese expedition of 1900-01. Up to that 1 ime he was known only as the com of a Siberian fife rcgimen l He was the first commander to enter | Tien-Tsin and was made a major general for the dash he displayed in l he attack on tre Chinese capital.
 Was Severe Disciplinarian.
 Stoessel was a severe disciplinarian. | It is said that he sentenced many men ] to death for infractions of the army | regulations. 1Ic was far from being | popular in the army. He was strick- l en with paralysls last July.

Western Counties.
State Wide Movement for Bet

OFFICIALS ON THE JOURNEY
Speeches in Most of Towns
Along Proposed Route.
Develop Local Sentiment Along
Territory in State.

Kansas is this month to have a road
booster trip of her own, if plans be-
ing worked out today in Topeka are
developed. The plan is for a trip
from Topeka into a number of west
ern counties this month. 1t is prob
able that from twenty to thirty To-
peka cars will be in the trip and q
numb er of road boosters in western
counties have indicated a desire to
join the party
with the state wide movement for bet
ter highways. In a short time a call
will be issued by Earl Akers. state
treasurer, for a state wide meeting to
present the highway question to the
1917 legislature. Akcrs himself will
make the trip from Topeka, while J.
WIN Kelley, secretary OF the Com
of the Automobile association: and
other road boosters are enthusiastic
concerning the trip.
Over Several Trails.
1t is probable that a route for the
trip will be selected this week. While
the trip will no doubt take the road
boosters into the western counties, the
route to be travelled will not be deter
mined for several days. 1t is possible
that the highway enthusiasts will
make the trip west over one route.
returning over a different highway.
Among the routes which may be
travelled on the trip are the Old and
New Santa Fe trail, the Golden Belt,
Red Line and Rock Island highway
Many automobile owners in towns
west of Topeka are expected to make
at least a portion of the trip. Speeches
will be made and several state Off
Gals including Governor Capper may
make the loop.

highways, said Akers, and viii be

No Speed Records.

trip.
lit looks good to me and I believe
much good can be done through the
efforts of the road boosters of Topeka,
assisted by highway advocates 9TH
er counties" was Kelley's comment
Secretary Putney of the automobile
association also expressed strong SEN
tin. ent favoring the good road run.
No effort would be made to estab-
liSh speed, records on the trip. The
run would be well advertised and some
of the most widely known friends of
good roads in Kansas would accom-
pany the party and make speeches in
the towns where stops were scheduled.
Since he proposed the state bond
issue to build better highways, Akers
has received encouraging letters from
more than 500 Kansans. The letters
are from men in every profession and
occupation in the state and many act
i've farmers are among the men who
endorsed the Akers plan Now the
state treasurer proposes to call a state
meeting to discuss road building legis-
lation. The trip from Topeka would,
it is believed, create interest in the
state meeting.

KIPLING IS HOPEFUL

London, Oct. 11.-Rudyard Kipling
has received no further news of his
son, who was wounded and reported

was only slightly wounded when last

he suffered no more serious fate than
being taken prisoner within the Ger

GET NEW KIDNEYS !

The kidneys are the most overworked

Indigestion; Irritation, or even stone in
