Camp Ferris Notes.

Camp Ferris, Grayling, September
with the railroad dispute settled
indications are that orders to dis
patch the guardsmen here to the bor-
der, or muster them out of service,
will be forth coming within the next
few days.
Major Wells, senior mastering Of
ficer, has declared that the troops
here have received reasonable
amount of equipment" all that prob
ably will be issued at the present
encampment. Because of that fact,
there seems little reason for hold
ing the guardsmen here much
longer.
Officers familiar with the Mexican
situation have advanced the belief
that the war department is salts
fed that there are sufficient troops
at the border to handle the patrol
work, and what guardsmen who
have not been dispatched south will
be mustered out.
Stoves are Issued
Cold nights have made stoves a
necessity rather than a luxury. No
property has been as promptly call
ed for as las heaters, which were
given out Sunday moring. There is
only one organization not supplied
with heaters.
Captain o. H. Tower, paymaster,
said that $55, 900 would arrive here
Wednesday morning, and that pay
day will be either that day or Thurs
day.
Major Daniel w. Smith, adjutant
general First brigade, issued an ord
err relieving all organizations from
drill, Monday, Labor Day.
Sergeant Major Reynolds of the
infantry, said that more
than IS applications for release, UNI
der the dependents ruling in this
came too late for APPROX
al. The war department recently
rescinded the ruling.
Daily Program Changed
Because of the shorter days, Ma
jor Smith has made another change
in the regular program. Reveille
has been changed from $3.50 a. m
to 6 a. m, retreat was made half

 Probably the trouble is that the country had grown to depend upon the revenue from liquor, list as America has until over one-third of our National revenues come from tie liquor Sources. Probably the United States can in time learn to live without revenues from liquor but until such time as he problem has been Solved 1t would be disas- trous for the Territory of Alaska to endeavor to solve the problem. - Fairbanks News-Miner May IS, 1916.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay gray!. Here's simple recipe that anybody can apply
 with hair brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat ural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at homo is muSsy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Romedy," you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-knoWn downtown druggio # says it dar<ens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it aud draw this through your hair, taking one strand at d time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark glossy, soft and abundant

REVIEWS OF FRANCO
 BRITISH OFFENSIVFS
Gcrnan Newspapers show How Mics Reports Were All Fnnrifui and
 Imaginative.

Berlin, Feb. s. by wireless tu Sax Nille-ReNiCWs of tho Franco-Br.tish offensive movements on the western front are being published in tho Ger man newspapers They are sur.n7ar- ized by the Overseas News Agency as follows: 'These offensive movements were ushered in by formal announce ments of coming victory immediate and certain, as Lord Curzon declared in August, 1914, when he already saw the Bongalesc and tho Russians enter ing Berlin. Similar announcements were made when France. after the success on the Marne, 1egained her spirits. The third announcement came when, in October, 1914, the Ger man advance in Belgium was stopped by inundatiOns.
 According to Anglo French news papers, the great offensive movement started in November, 1914. Acrord- ing to some of their reports the French reconQEered Lille on Nov. 15. The Fench also shcllcd Metz, it was de- clared, and the Germans prepared for the defense of Strassburg. In the spring of 1915, Italian eWspapers an rounccd the arrival of 100000 Hindus and 5OO,00O Japanese. It was like wise announced that Ostend would fall within @ few days, while the news papers declared that Germany virtu- ally had asked for peace. These re- ports, however, were all purely fanci- ful and imaginative.
 ''The beglnning of the real oifen- sive movement was on March 10, 1915, whom tho English attacked and took Neuve Ch0pCile. The British lost 12811 men and used moro ammunition than in the whole BOer war. They halted their advance on March t2 be- cause, according to Field Marshal French's reports, the weather was too bad.
