many DOCTORS TO.
ATTEND MEETING.

The medical convention here on
Oct. 25-26 will exceed all expecta-
ton according to DR.. Louis DEM.
Blocker, president of the Escambia
county medical society. Every day
brings more acceptances to the in
vitations which have been sent out,
and great enthusiasm is being shown
for the success of the meeting.
From the list of doctors who have
already accepted, it is evident that
physicians from all of West Florida
and Southern Alabama will be in at
tendance, and the visitors will repre-
sent every section included in the list.
There is unusual interest in the
smaller towns of West Floridt, where
the practitioners are anxious to be-
come acquainted with the facilities
here for caring for patients.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into .
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant. just few applica-
tions will prove 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 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 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 a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

ITALIAN BARK IS
BACK FOR CARGO

In tow of the tug Nellie, the Italian
bark Firth of Dornoch was returned
here yesterday from Mobile, in which
port the vessel received considerable
repairs. The Dornoch is now con-
signed to Rosasco Bros, and will load
out for Mediterranean ports.
This vessel was lately the subject
of some correspondence from the
state department at Washington and
the local customs branch. The Firth
of Dornoch, it will be remembered,
left port in Austria after the latter
had declared war on Italy, the clear
ance papers showed. The documents
attracted attention when they reached
the department, and letter arrived
shortly thereafter, asking for an ex-
PLANTATION as to how an enemy vessel
could clear from a seaport of a coun-
try at which the vessels home coun-
try was at war. This was satisfac-
torily explained when the local Off
Gals pointed out the fact that the
ship was more. than four hundred
days from Fiume, in Austria, to
Pensacola, but was not held up for
that length of time. On the contrary,
storm after storm was encountered;
the vessel was becalmed for days and
weeks, and when she did reach here
her documents showed it had been
more than a year since issue.

ADJUSTMENTS
Valeska Suratt Stars in Story of Ven.
geance, Isis Today.


A motive of revenge, which leads
a woman to seek the unhappiness of
her husband by humiliating her own
unknown daughter, gives a startling
and vivid background to the work
which Valeska Suratt does for Will
liam Fox in her new picture, 1.-THE
Straight Way" Miss Suratt plays
Mary Madison, woman who has been
wronged by her husband, and cannot
forgive.
When the story begins, Mary's re-
lations with another man are unjust
ly suspected by her husband. He
casts her off, and she, heartbroken,
leaves her baby daughter in the care
of sister. Later, when the husband,
John Madison (Herbert Heyes) hears
that Mary has been killed in rail-
road wreck, he takes the daughter
into his home.
Many years later Mary hears that
Madison has been elected governor of
his state. She determines to have her
vengeance on him for wrecking her
life. She makes plot with Dan Wal
ters (Glen White), a former convict.
Walters is to marry Madison's daugh-
ter, Marion elsie Balfour). Mary
does not know that Marion is her own
child, but believes she is Madison's
daughter by second marriage.
After the marriage of Walters and
Marion, Mary goes to Madison and
tells him the whole story. Then he
informs her that Marion was her own
daughter.
Mary sees then that her plot had
acted as boomerang. Her only child
has become the bride of an ex-con-
Wet. But the situation is cleared
when subsequent events prove that
Walters had been innocent of the
crime for which he was punished, and
had gone to prison for a friend.

Hettinger Man Let Go of $4,000 in
Trade for Horses Which Even Ex-
pert Cowboys DishOnor.

Omaha, Dec. 12.-W. w. Middleton,
of Kansas City, barber, testifying
for the government in the suit against
the Omaha Land and Investment COM
pany for use of the mails to defraud
in sales of wild horses in Coconine
county, Ariz., today asserted he would
have had more success catching deer
than the wild horses he had purchased.
H. B. Halvorson, of Hettinger, who
testified to having lost North Dakota
land worth $1,000 in purchase of wild
horses, said:
Expert cowboys in Coconine county
refused to catch the horses for $50 a
head"
When he complained to A. O. Perry,
of Omaha. one Of the defendants thru
whom he purchased the horses, Hal
verson said Perry wrote him as fol-
lows:
"Find another fellow like yourself
and trade your horses to him. Just
keep quiet, tell no one your troubles
and get to trading. That's what
done and come out all right"
The government alleges the AZ men
indicted secured approximately ST.
100000 from the sales of wild horses.

HIDE THIEVES GET
QUICK JUSTICE
Chief Dougherty Does Good Work In
Bringing Men to Bay at Portal
Took $500 Worth of Hides.

Joe Podusky, who was employed by
the Northwest tern Hide & Fur Co.,
since it's organization, and Jacob Hell
met, a German, were arrested at Por-
tai Sunday and returned to this city,
charged with stealing $500 worth Of
hides from the concern for which Pod
usky worked. The hides were recover
ed and the men were safe behind the
bars of the Ward county Jail within
"a hours of the time the theft was
made.
Podusky slept at the hide house on
North Main street and planned with
Helmet to steal the hides. The men
bundled up the valuable hides and
shipped them north over the 500, leav-
ing for Portal on later train. The
hides were missed about ten o'clock
Sunday morning. Chief of Police
Dougherty was notified and SO effect
lively did he work that within 1-2
hours he had caused the arrest of the
two men. That afternoon, accompan-
ing by Officer Bakeman, he went to
Portal. The men had gone across to
the Canadian side but the Canadian
police showed them across the line into
the United States, where they were
arrested.
They were given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Willis Monday,
who bound them over to the district
court. They appeared before Judge
Leighton Tuesday morning. Podusky
claimed that he was innocent; that
Helmet threatened to kill him if he
did not assist in the theft and that he
was to get $25 for his services. He
entered plea of not guilty.
When Helmet appeared before the
Judge he inquired, "How could I be
guilty if Podusky is not guilty? He
was the head man in stealing the
hides" Both men have virtually
pleaded guilty as neither denies his
participation in the theft.
Helmet is a low type of character.
He has been in this country for nearly
three years and looks like degener-
ate.
