GAS HELMETS ARE
 PROVIDED BY GIRL All Troops Look to Her for Protection Against Gas "A SECRET CHEMICAL 
Used in Official Helmets to Nullify Effects of Deadly Fumes-Usu-

British. General Headquarters, Northern France, April 15.-(special Correspon- dence)-'O. c. Helmets they call her, which would mean officer commanding helmets" which, in turn, means that this , British lass is she who looks after the helmets that are issued to the British troops to put over their heads when the Germans send floating over the British trenches clouds of poisonous gases that kill. She is a red checked young woman, with an air of great efficiency, and she makes her headquarters at one of the several British bases in France. Here is a pretty big job--she has scores of women under her-and she does it well. When the major who was showing us all the ins and outs of his base took up to the place where they handle the gas helmets he abandoned his role of guide he had been personally explaining each and every detail-and turned it over to 70. c. Helmets" He said that he could show us through if he wanted to, which probably like to do it herself. Perhaps all that, but that 70. c. Helmets" would probably like to do it serself. Perhaps that was the reason, but the chances are that no one in that vicinity encroaches upon 70. C. Helmets " balllWlck without her having something to say about it.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 CRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Us
 ing Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life less. is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other in- Kredients by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that mo- body can. possibly tell it has been ap- piled. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time By morning the gray hair disap- pears but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

The Tammany dele gation was headed by John R. Voor- his, grand sachem of Tammany.
 The Presidents remarks. as he spoke to the various delegations, were roundly cheered, Among other statements he made was one to the effect that the Republican campaign managers are stopping at nothing in an attempt to accomplish his down fall

JACK SECURES MORE OPTIONS:
 LEAVES TODAY
MINING ENGINEER TO PROSPECT IN THIS VICINITY DURING
 NEXT SUMMER

Yesterday w. G. Jack, representing the Hughes es-TimminsLewis dredge mining interests in the Tatlanika district, announced that he had se- cured options on several mining properties on Birch creek, in the Circle district He also secured fur ther options on Goldstream and the mouth of Engineer creek.
 MT. Jack leaves this morning on the Northern Commercial company's s stage for the Outside. He will re- turn in the spring. probably over the ice. He plans to leave California about the middle of March. Not all of his arrangements for bringing in drills have yet been perfected, but he plans to do prospecting in this vicinity during next summer.
 The prospecting is likely to be done either on the Goldstream op- tions or those in the Birch creek country The engineer has other op- tions in view, but. owing to the shortness of time allotted him, none of them have been completely closed. Next summer he will make a super ficial examination of other properties in this district.

No Milk For Poor
 People In Germany
BE ALLOWED MILK, SAYS BERLIN TAGEBlATT.
 Associated Press !

BERLIN, Oct. 28.-A milk ia mine is imminent in this city. At least, so states the Berlin Tage- blatt in it's issue of this evening. And the newspaper claims edi- torially that it has secured the information it is dispensing to the public from perfectly reli- able source.
 The Tageblatt does not come out with the bald statement that the German government Is re sponsible for the milk shortage. It intimates that such is fact. however, and also implies that the government conservation of the milk supply is for the pur- pose of caring for Germany's In valids and wounded soldiers.
 Berlin alone will not be the sufferer. For, according to the statement contained in the Tage- blatt, all of the large cities of the empire will suffer accord ingly.

SURPLUS MAIL WILL COME ON
 ID | FAIRBANKS
KNOX TES-INTENTiON OF DEPARTMENT TO GET MAIL
 IN FROM COROoVA

In the last mail Postmaster T. II. Deal received letter from K. C. Knox, superintendent of railroad mail service. to the effect that req sonable amount of the surplus mail this winter at CordOya will be sent in to Fairbanks. The department plans to provide an ample emergency service so that the mail will not be unduly delayed.
 The present intention of the de partment is to create the first of these emergencies in November and December in order to prevent the mail from getting so old that 1t is valueless, or nearly so. This letter is an answer to the efforts that MT. Deal has been making recently.
 Although the postmaster has been able to secure only a few bidders on the contract to deliver this mail, it will come in anyway. This winter, then, there is not likely to be the congestion of second class matter at the coast town that has ordinarily been the case.
 Mr Deals attempts to get all the mall all the time seems now to have been crowned with success. He has been working steadily for some time to get the mail moving this way as is much pleased with the letter.

Villa Is Wounded;
 Has Bullet In Leg
MEXICAN BANDIT LEADER SUE FERS FROM OLD HURT,
 SAYS DESERTER

CHIHUAHUA. Mexico, Oct. 2S. That Rancho Villa, the bandit leader, is so badly injured that he can scarcely get about, as the result of a bullet wound in the right leg, is the report brought here by deserter from the fore es of Villa and turned into con- stitutionalist headquarters. The deserter says that, while Villa rides a horse most of the time. he suffers so terribly that he has to have help to mount or dismount
 The wound is an old one, ac- cording to the story told by the deserter. It is therefore believed in constitutionalist army circles here that the bandit leader has never fully recovered from the wound he was reported to have sustained last summer during an engagement with force of Car ranzaistas.

GIVES STATEMENT
 FOR PUBL,ICATION
TELLS RESENTATIVE OF AS ISOLATED PRESS THAT CoNDI- TONS IN MEXICO HAVE BEEN GREATLY MIsREPREsENTED OF LATE
Associated Press.)

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2S.-That the Chihuahua is able to continue because of the facilities furnished the bandit leader by enemies ot the COnstitu- tionalists of Mexico in the United States. was the statement made today by General Venustiano Carranza, pro visional head of the Mexican govern ment, to a representative of the As sociated Press Furthermore, he said papers they represent have been an other stumbling block in the path of the constitutionalist forces in their pursuit of the bandit, Villa, as they have continually misrepresented the encounters which have taken place between the Villaistas and the Car ranzaistas.
 General Carranza pointed out the fact that the American newspapers persist In calling the situation in Mexico grave and serious" He said that Important victory were words which had appeared more iii Ameri- can newspapers in connection with the bandit activities, and always in favor of the bandits, than any others
 Practically all of these statements, the general said, have been absolute ly false. Reports published in the United States are to the effect tha the rebels have gained victories in Colima, Mexico, Oaxaca and Chiapas, when, in reality, they have been forced to keep on the move all the time in order to evade capture by the Carranza troops
 General Carranza further said thai the Mexican government troops will eventually suppress the rebel move ment in Chihuahua He says that Felix Diaz and his followers have al ready been defeated, Diaz making his escape across the Chiapas bor der into Guatemala, where he haS taken refuge. And he further stat ed that all of the Zapataistas have been forced to take to the noun tains, as all of the cities and towns in southern Mexico are in control of the government.

On the mail which reached Fair banks Friday night from the Out side, the register and receiver of the gcal branch ol the general land office was in receipt of d communi- cation from Clay Tallman, commis- .ioner of the general land office at washington, H D. C., which was, in effect, denial ol the petition of q number of the residents of Garden Island for d trusteeship of the town of J.

 It is understood that the residents of Garden Island will either take appeal from the decision of Commis- sioner Tallman or else will take other means of securing title to their property.
