CONGRESS- ENDS
LONG SESSION
Record Breaking Meeting Is
Brought to Close.
APPROPRIATIONS VERY LARGE
Preparedness Draws Heavily on Fed
eraI Purse, Necessitating Addi-
tional Revenue.

l
Washington, Sept. 9.-Congress
has adjourned sine die, concluding a
session record breaking in many re.
spects, with appropriations for the fu.
ture running we'll toward $4,000, oO0,-
900.
In the house Speaker Clark and Re
publican Leader Mann exchanged the
usual fluctuations.
Speaker Clark, addressing the
house, referred to the session of con-
gress as a long, tedious and laborious
session
"No session of congress In my recOl-
lection" he said, stayed in session
so many days and worked SO many
hours"
In discussing the expenditures Rep
resentative Fitzgerald, chairman Of the
appropriations committee, said the
world was ablaze and the American
people had awakened to the fact and
ito the belief that even the United
States are not so completely isolated
from the old world as to be free from
all possibility of ENHANCEMENT before
the conflict stops"
He said that accordingly extraor-
binary steps had to be taken in the
way of large expenditures for defense.
Representative Gillet of Massachu-
sets said that applying the Demo
Gratis own standard and logic the ses-
sion just closed far surpassed Ia ex-
travagance any predecessor
Unprecedented Appropriations.
When the gavel fell congress had
directed reorganization and re-eauip-
ment Of the army and navy for de-
Tense of the country at the unprece-
denied cost of 100000, with au-
thorizations that will increase the to-
tai in three years to nearly $8O0SO00,-
coo.
With all other expenditures appro-
priations were brought to the grand
total of 81, 637 ,5S3, 6S2, the greatest ag-
STCSdI0 Ill LIlC COUllC1y etho
exceeding that for the last fiscal year
by more than half billion dollars.
Expenditures necessitated by pre-
paredness and the calling into action
of military forces to meet the Mexi-
can emergency demanded revenue
legislation in the closing days OF the
session.
Congress responded by doubling the
normal tax on incomes, creating an
inheritance tax, munitions tax and
miscellaneous excise taxes to raise
$205, 100000 and by directing sale of
$130,OOOO0O Panama canal bonds.
Congress established tariff Icom-
mission; a government shipping board
to rehabilitate the American mer-
chant marine; workingmen's scom-

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. just few applica-
tions will prove a revelation if your hair
is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease. =

SENATE AGREES TO
WEST INDIES TREATY


Washington, Sept. 81 The treaty
providing for the purchase from Den.
mark of the Danish West Indies for
SIS 100000 was ratified by the senate
There was no roll call and less than
half dozen senators, including Sena-
tors Norris, Jones and Clapp, voted
against it.
Favorable action on the treaty at
this session of congress had been
urged strongly by the administration,
particularly because of the influence
it might have on the situation in Den
mark, where the lower house of par
lament has approved it and a fight is
being made for ratification in the up
per house.
The vote followed several hours of
debate. An amendment by Senator
Norris to reduce the purchase price
from $25,0O0,OO0 to $1O,000,O00 was de-
feated and the treaty was approved
just as it was signed by Secretary
Lansing and Minister Brun Aug. 4.
