FAIR LASSIES TO
WORK on TAG DAY
Prominent Young Ladies
Will Assist in Humane
Society Work.

Some of Tulsa's most prominent
young ladies' will assist in making the
eighth annual Human society Tag day
next Saturday a success. The patron
nesscs in charge of the affair are
meeting with splendid response
from the young women of the city and
it is though that more than fifty girls
will donate their services all day next
Saturday
The affair is being thoroughly or
ganiZed. Appropriate tags are being
printed. The fair taggers will start
to work bright and early Saturday
morning and continue at their task
all day long. The man who evades
them will indeed be a clever person,
but when he gazes upon the smiling
faces of the taggers and thinks of the
noble work that the money is to go for
it is not likely that even the most
heartless individual will refuse to give
his share.
There will be luncheon for all the
workers at Hotel Tulsa ut noon.
Good-natured rivalry is expected to
develop between the various teams
that will be assigned to do the tagging.

The trial, which began shorty aiter

Present Case.
Aside from the address from the
district attorney, in which he rected
Waites life history and gave COM
niete resume of the events leading up
10 the crime to which Waite already
has confessed, the outstanding feature
of the trial today was the testimony
of DIR. Albertus Adair Moore. Waite,
the witness declared, admitted TO MN
he had purchased arsenic for ms e.
year-old father-in-law because inc
old gentleman didn't want TO hve.
Previously when suspicion was first
directed against Waite, Doctor Moore
said the accused dentist had teie-

Waite asked me-" said Doctor
Moore. 'if arsenic administered pe-

as distinguished from the same poison

The witness said he replied that the
noisou would be discernible in the
brain If administered before death.
Insanity Plea.
Waite's counsel intimated that they
would rely entirely upon plea of in
sanity to save their client from the
electric chair. To combat testimony
that probably will be given tomorrow
by aiienists both from this city ana

Protesting Against In

Say Policy of Great Britain
in Censoring Neutral
Mail Obnoxious.
WAsHINGToN, May aa.-Presi-

WAsHINGToN, May 22.-Presi-
w dent Wilson tonight completed
a note vigorously renewing the pro-
test of the United States to Great
Britain against Interference with
American mails.
The communication is expected to
go forward tomorrow. Secretary Lam
sing and legal experts at the state
department made the original draft
of the note and the president revised
its phraseology. 1t is made up large
ly of legal arguments to meet the
contentious of Great Britains memo
randum concurred in by France, pre-
sented to the state department sew
eral weeks ago. The United States
takes the position that the practices
complained of in its first complaint
on the subject have been continued
and that the American government
must now insist more emphatically
that they cease.
Policy Weak.
state department officials consider
that the chief weakness of the posi-
ton of Great Britain is her policy
OF taking neutral mail vessels into
british Jurisdiction and submitting
them to local censorship regulations
IL Is understood that it Is on this
point that the renewed protest Is
chiefly based. The British memOran-
DUN avoided this phase Of the ques-
tiOn.
Rapid transportation was promised
TO true correspondence" but the
right to seize contraband sent In the
mails was maintained.
The Hague convention of 1907, the
United states contends. guarantees
the inViolability of postal correspond
ence and the new note again points
to the inconveniences and actual
money loss resulting from the con-
tinuance of the British policy of taxi
ing neutral vessels into British ports
and there examining and detaining
the mails. A mass of evidence has
been collected showing the effects on
American business of the British
policy.

proposition. We know what happened to us twenty months ago. There are some who say Why, America IS ready! Look at great, strong Amer lea! Can't America stand anything ? We'll, America was just as strong and just as great twenty months ago as it is today They say, Well look at the men in America! Can't they do
 anything?' I reply, We'll, the men in America were just as great twenty months ago es they are today. You have got to have something besides this great, strong America that we talk about in such eloquent phrases. and you have got to have something more than these alert and splendid men. You have got to have business the United States.
 How are we going to avoid these conditions? By sane1y building up American enterprise, protecting American industry in every way, and making it possible for business to succeed. I want to see the American rame honored throughout the world because it is recognized that we are firmly and consistently maintaining our rights. I want to see American prosperity based on something better than a European war. want to see efficient administration, with the best men in charge of every department. want to see governm ent that is sen- sible and directed according to the merits of a proposition, and not gov ernment by hold-upI not government iil response to force, not government dealing out gold bricks to this group CT that group for the purpose of get ting votes.

It's Grandmo4iler recipe to bring back color, youthfulness and lustre
 Everybody is using it again

Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm It makes or marks the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hundred-fold
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound,' which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prepara- ton, because it darkens the hair beau tifully, besides no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand al a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it be- comes thick, glossy and lIstrous, and you appear years younger.
 Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mltl- gatiou or prevention of disease.
