AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
,ustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which Ii
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
cit for about 80 cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair. as 1t does It so nat.
urally and evenly. You 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 disappears, and after
another application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy, and you look years younger.

AMERICA TO Get
MUCH CRITICISM
Expect Bitterness Toward the United
States in Discussion OF Inter-
national Questions.

Berlin, March 16-The reichstag
will probably devote Friday and Sat
urday of next week to open discussion
of the international situation and po-
litical problems which have arisen
from Germany's methods of submarine
warfare A special committee of the
reichstag met today and found that
there is a general desire Of all parties
for a frank and open debate on the
motives underlying the government S
attitude toward neutral powers and in
particular toward the United States.
1t is believed that DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the imperial chancellor, will
for various reasons, decide to make
speech explaining the policy in accord
ance with which Germany has con-
Quoted her foreign affairs department
and it's reflex action on her internal
policy.
In the present temper Of section
of the reichstag, the debate. it is eX-
pected, will bring out some caustic
and unfriendly references to the Unit
ed States but the fact that 10 days will
have elapsed after what is regarded
as immediate cause of irritation will
probably serve to tone down the pres
ent bitterness openly expressed by GER
tain members OF the reichstag.
The ways and means committee OF
the Prussian diet today crossed swords
with the administration regarding the
diets competence to discuss the Amer
lean and other issues Of foreign and
military policy. Herr Irmer, spokes-
man of the conservative party defend
ed the claims of the diet to the right
of criticism. Foreign Minister Won
Jagow, while admitting the diets
right to discuss anything it saw fit,
declared that the government could
not and would not accept advice or
criticism on those matters which are
beyond the competence Of the Prus-
sian parliament.
The newspapers generally refrain
from abiding, even guardedly, to the
source of the conflict. The conserva-
tive Kreuz Zeitung, argues editorially
in favor of open discussion in the diet
and concludes as follows:
within the limits of moral feeling
and self respect, We must regulate our
relations to foreign powers purely on
the basis of expediency. Should good
relations toward any particular power
appear absolutely indispensable TO the
conduct of our struggle for existence,
we must accordingly adapt our policy
and must not leave it to fate to deter
mine whether we shall come to a
! breach. Such fatalism in politics has
no justification II however, We do
not regard such a breach as being so
serious that we must at all costs avoid
! it, then there is no reason why we
! should not use our freedom of action
completely. A middle way between
these alternatives would not in our
opinion represent a policy based on
! expediency but one of those half meas
ures which usually lead to failure"
