EASY TO
DARKEN YOUR
GRAY HAIR
Try this! Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
and brush it through your hair,
taking one strand at time.

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 trou-
blesome. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You just dampep
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also discover
dandruff is gone and hair has stopped
falling.
Gray, faded hair. though nos dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
years younger.-Adv.

The Easiest Way
< To End Dandruff

There is one sire way that never
rails to remove dandruff- completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most if not all, of your
dandruff will be. gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
1ustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail.-Adv.

WILSON QUOTES Bible
President Finds in Scriptures support
for His Defense Plan.

Washington, Nov. president
Wilson finds support in the Scriptures
for his policy of national defense, and
in a letter to Seth Low, who wrote the
president commencing his Manhattan
club speech, quotes verses from the
thirty-third chapter of Ezekiel. In
the letter, made public today at the
White House, the president said:
'I am particularly gratified that
you should so fully concur in the posi-
ton 1 :took in my speech to the Man
haitian club. There is a quotation
from Ezekiel which I have had very
much in mind recently in connection
with these important matters. 1t is
the second, third, fourth, fifth and
sixth verses of chapter thirty-three:
'2-Son of man, speak to the children
of thy people, and say unto them, When
people of the land take a man of their
coasts and set him for their Waterman;
'3-f when he seeth the sword come
upon the land he blow the trumpet and
warn the people;
- Then whatsoever heareth the sound
of the trumpet, and taketh not warning
If the sword come, and take him away,
his blood shall be upon his own head.
Size heard the sound of the trumpet,
and took not warning; his blood shall be
upon him; but he that taketh warning
shall deliver his soul.
"'6-But If the Waterman see the sword
come, and blow the trumpet, and the peo-
pie be not warned IF the sword come, and
take any person from among them, he is
taken away in his iniquity; but his blood
will / require at the watchman's hand. "

New Feature Film.

Last night at the Broadway theatre
in New York Hall Gaines great play
was presented for the first time in
any theater in film form. This great
spectacle has Pauline Frederick
IT its star and it is her first APP
pcarance in motion pictures.
1t is also the most pretentious sub
iect ever produced by the Famous
Players Film company. the first con-
Germ to present famous plays and
celebrated stars in motion pictures.
1t represents the first time that
prominent American actress has ever
been sent abroad by an American film
producing company for the produc-
ton of "A motion picture. 1t was di
rected by Edwin S. Porter, "the
father of the photoplay." who produced
the first dramatic story in motion
pictures eleven years ago, in col
alteration with Hugh Ford, the noted
stage director, whose, first film eX-
perienCe it was. 1t is the first time
in the history of the motion picture
that the Vatican gardens, the Coli
scum, the Castle of st. Angelo. st.
Peters and other historic spots in the
imperial city have been used as set
tings for a screen drama. 1t is the
first time that a regiment of the

body Of any government was loaned

in recent years in the organization Of
our regiments into the higher fighting

THE shortage OF ammunition for our

CANAL TOO NARROW

CuIebra Cut Slides Fill Channel, So
International Naval Pageant
Nav Be ImDeded

Plans for the international naval pa
Eeant through the Panama Canal next
March, already considerably interfered
with by the war in Europe, may be fur
thcr disturbed by the condition Of the
waterway itself.
Following the arrival of Col George
w. Goethals, governor of the canal, in
Washington yesterday, it developed that
there is a prospect that conditions in
the Culebra cut will remain uncertain
for considerable period. owing to the
numerous and serious slides.
1t is stated that whether IT will be
advisable to attempt to pass a large
number Of giant warships through the
canal at one time so soon as next March
will remain very doubtful question for
the next two months at least
At present the channel through that
part of Culebra Cut where the slides are
giving most trouble is only 100 feet wide.
Tho most modern dreadnoughts Of the
United States fleet have beams of ninety
six and ninety-seven feet, giving a mar
gin of only three feet through the chan
mel past the slides
