How l Darkened My
 Gray Hair
Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That She Used to Darken Her
 Gray Hair

For years I tried to restore my gray hair to it's natural color with the pre- pared dyes and stains, but none of them gave satisfaction and they were all expensive. I finally ran onto a simple recipe which I mixed at home t,.at gives wonderful results. I gave the recipe, which is as follows, to a number of my friends, and they are all delighted with it. To oz. of water add a small box of Barbo Compound, 1 oz of bay rum and 14 oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Use every other day until the hair becomes the required shade then every two weeks. It will not only darken the gray hair, but removes dandruff and bcalp humors, and acts a tonic to the hair It is not sticky or greasy, does not rub off and does not color the scalp.

citizens that preparation for national defense cannot any longer be post poned.
 q am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession and l can not blame them for it.
 MILITARISM IS IMPOSSIBLE
 But for my part we have never wanted, We have never encouraged in America the spirit of militarism, and we shall never have the fact of mili- tarism in the United States If men are engaged nine months out of the 12 in the pursuits of commerce and manufacturing and agriculture and are in camp to do a little training only two or three months in the year, do you suppose they are going to have the spirit of the three months and not the spirit of the nine months? Don't you see that they are in the civil and economic life of the nation. They know what a war means, what it will cost, what it will cost to them and to those who are dependent upon them There will well up in them, unless I am very much mistaken, great foun- tains of sober sentiment which will af- feet their neighbors as we'll as them
 
 careless of the general interests of the nation, a little less thoughtful of their own peculiar and selfish inter- ests and something of the old spirit of 'seventy-six' which was not the spirit of aggression but the spirit of love of country; and pure and unde filed patriotism will grow stronger and stronger in this country that we love.
 50, my fellow citizens, what I am pleading for with the utmost confi- dence is the revival of that great spirit of patriotism for which hall like this stands as symbol. I was saying the other night that it was a very interesting circumstances that We never hang a lads yardstick up over the mantlepiece, but we do hang his musket up when he is gone. Not be. cause the musket stands for a finer thing than the yardsticll in itself. It Is brutal thing to kill But the mus ket stood for the risk of life for some thing greater than the lads own self. It stood for infinite sacrifice to the point of death, and it is that sentiment of willingness to die for something greater than ourselves that we hang the musket up over the mantlepiece and think it a sacred record of the high service of the family to which we be- long, When we summon the young men of this country to volunteer for brief training every year in der that they may be a source of se curity for the nation and it's ideals, I know that the response will bring something more than a few hundred youngsters into the field. It will bring the spirit of America back to self con sciousness, and we shall again know wkat it is to belong to a country that throbs with the spirit of life that will arrest the attention of mankind"

EARLY ACTION NEEDED

T am not going to expound to you any particular plan for training cit lzens because the trial of the plan is not the important part. The important part is that it is necessary at the earliest possible moment by which we will have a great reserve of men suf- Ilc1ently trained to know what serv- ice is and to be ready for it when called. These are the things we are going to have. I say that because l be- lieve 1t national necessity and I say 1t because I am confident that the members of Congress know national necessity when they see it. America is a hard headed nation, and Americans generally want to see the facts as they come before they act. And the facts of the world are such that it is my duty to counsel my fellow

is temporary. It is my conception that a the government of the United states has done a great deal, though even yet probably not enough to promote aSrl- cultural education in this country IL ought to do great deal to promote industrial education in this country, and that along with thoroughgoing ln- dustrial and vocational training It IS perfectly feasible to instruct the $ouIh of the land in the mechanism and use of arms, in the sanitation of camps, in the more rudimentary principles anu practices of modern warfare, ana so not to bring about occasions, such as We have sometimes brought apout when, upon a sudden danger young sters were summoned by the proclama- tion of the President out of every com~ munity, who came, crude and green and raw into the service Of thelr coun try infinitely willing, but also WhoIly unfitted for the great physical task which was ahead of them NO hatioii can waste it's youth like that
 "A nation like this should be ashamed to use an inefficient instrument when 1t can make it's instrument efficient TOT everything that it needs to employ It 1or' and it can do it along with the magnify ing and ennobling and quickening or the tasks of peace. But we have to create the schools and develop the schools to do these things, and we cannot al presehl : wait for the slower processes. We must go at once to the task of training very consfdera ble body of men to the use of arms and the life of camps, and we can do so upon one condition and one condition only. The test, ladies ad gen tleme, of what we are proposing IS not going to be the action of Congress; 1t IS going to be the response of the country it is going to be the volunteering Of the men to take the training and the willing ness of their employers to see to 1t that no obstacle is put in the way of thelr volunteering.
 Tt will be up to the young men or this country and to the men who en- ploy them, and then we shall know how far it is true that America wishes to prepare itself for national defense. Not a matter of sentiment, but a matter of hard practice.

IS SMALL NUMBER


 q have proposed that we should be supplied with at least a half million men accustomed to handle arms and live in camps. And that is a very small number as compared with the gigantic proportions of modern armies. And therefore it seems to me that no man can speak of proposals like that as
 if they pointed directly to militarism
 When men talk of the threat of what
 is proposed. I wonder if they have real ly stopped to consider what is pro- posed It is astonishing how many men of straw are set up and gallantly knocked down. It is astonishingly easy to prove that something Is wrong which nobody has proposed. And this nation is not going to be deceived by the fears of gentlemen who are fear ful only of those things which they have imagined. We are not going to be estopped and daunted by ghosts and fancies We are proposing very business-like thing, and I, for my part, believe that I am proposing a thor oughly business like thing. For I am proposing something more than what
