With perfect faith that we extend to
the great democratic president of
tuese United States our enthusiastic
confidence and loyalty.
when the history of our country's
life and conduct in the two past preg-
nant years, comes to be finally written,
its chief character will be Woodrow
Wilson, and the conspicuous and at
tractive phase of that character win
be his devotion to the cause of peace
II the midst of the universal woe,
across the seas, he has stood calm and
serene, calling with unimpassioned
poise for sober, unexcited consideration
Of the rights of nations and of men and
course in all these troubled days will
be one of the most inspiring epochs in
all our history
THE Anglo-Saxon race, since that
fateful day when Cromwell's armed
partisans put the soldier above the
civilian, and the warrior above the
statesman, has stood with firm deter
mination against standing army in
time of peace. There has been no
abatement of this great policy in our
own country, yet, nevertheless, when
the War God stretches out his hand
over the world, when mutterings of
combat reach our shores, it would be
puerile to sit by in smiling confidence.
Our president has met this EFFICIENCY,
unforeseen and unforeshadowed, with
unmoving purpose, undeterred by
criticism and undismayed by opposi-

financial organization of The Com

gia Saloon League, was announc-
ed in Atlanta yesterday by Dr. G. w.
Eichelberger, superintendent of the
League and editor of the paper.
Recently the paper secured a char

charter has been duly accepted by
tie stockholders. The latter are
about 365 in number and reside in
practically every section Of the state
The Commonwealth, which has for
sometime been issued bi-weekly, has
had a strong influence in politics and
in waging the prohibition fight, which
resulted in the enactment of the pro-
hibition laws. Over $4,000 has been
paid in stock subscriptions and the
stock, which is rapidly being sold,
will be increased to $4,000. Some of
the most prominent men and leading
prohibitionists are among the stock
holders. The large subscription list
will be increased as the result OF
plans for enlarging and improving the
paper.

AN OLD RICIpE
TO DARKEN HAIR
COmOmn Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Youthful
at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
cd, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drugstore for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about so cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
ether application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.
