Interesting Sport Letter
GdtheredFron AHSpheres

NEW YORK, March 1O.--In the midst
of war Russia has not forgotten atb
letics and the possibility of futur
Olympic Games. BY order of that de-
rartment of the government which is
planning for the athletic upbuilding OF
the younger generation of Russians
there arrived in this city recently Han
mes F. Anderson. His card bears the
inscription:
Russian trainer in light athlet-
les and chief administrator in
physical culture at His Imperial
Highness, the Gar of Russia,
schools for officers"
Anderson, who is Swede and as a
member of the Swedish team competed
in the Olympic Games at Stockholm in
1912. bears formidable package OF
passports, recommendation and other
official documents, all stamped with
Russian and Imperial seals He ex-
piained that owing to the war his field
of labors in Russia had been seriously
curtailed. In view of these circum-
stances the government decided that
the time was opportune for careful
study of the American athletic system,
which the Russians concede to be the
best in the world.
The Swedish trainer has been given
a rowing commission together with Z
large expense fund and will investigate
American athletics in all its phases
during the coming summer The sys-
tenn used in holding games, develop
ing athletes, raising funds and forms
of control in vogue in the Amateur
Athletic Union, Inter- collegiate Asso-
Citations and individual colleges will be
the subject of careful study. Anderson
will visit various parts of the country
attend national and intercollegiate
meets and interview the leading ath-
letic trainers of the United States be-
fore he returns to Russia.
In one interview he stated that
athletic training, competition and sport
will in the future be reature of Rus.
sian life. Following the close of the
war he looks for great revival of in
terest in all forms of sport throughout
Russia. When asked when and where
the next Olympic Games will be held
Anderson simply smiled and shrugged
his shoulders.

To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY sage TEA
4 Few Applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur Brings Back Its VigOT,
Color, Gloss and YOuthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into q
heavy tea with sulphur added will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxurant. Just a
few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is faded, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though is trouble
some. An easier way is to get 50
cent bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sui
pbur Compound at any drug store all
ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients.
While wispy gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sake and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it 50
naturally, so evenly. You just damp
er sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair become beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxurant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

Mr. Campbell wrote:
Il have just had the PLEASURE of
reading an announcement of your
Childrans' Building at the Third Agri-
cultural District Fair. l think the
movement to allow the school chill
dren of each county to own booth is
one of the best moves for keeping up
interest in the fair and for serving
the educational institutions that 1
have yet noticed. / hope you will
meet with unlimited success in your
development of the district fair and
into a real educational institution. It
seems that you are on the right
track and that you will not only have
an agricultural fair but school fair
in addition, as suppose the intention
is to have the booth for each county
filled with educational exhibits from
the rural schools. At any time l can
be of any service to this movement,
l hape you will not hesitate to call

tee will hold a meeting on Friday af

Ellis and Vice-C Chairman Judge J. A.
Hixon desires that each member of
the committee make it his duty to be
present promptly on time.

/ HAVE NOW THROWN
MY CLUTCHES ASIDE
SAYS MRS. BISHOP
MOTHER OF NINE CHILDREN SUI.
FERED FOR TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS.

When a medicine gets you over
your troubles you've had for twenty
two years and takes you off of crutch-
es, there's nothing in the world too
good to say about it, and that's what
Tanlac has done for me, and l certain
lv ought to be willing to testify to the
truth and let everybody know about
| IT,"
This unusual statement was made by
Mrs. N. A. Bishop, of Roosevelt, Ga,
who is the mother of nine children,
and has great many friends and ac-
quaintances in that section. Mrs. Bish-
op was talking to Mr.. R. S. McDerment,
Of the G. T. Lyon Drug Co. of that
place, who had heard of this remark
able case and driven five miles out in
the country to the Bishop home to in
vestigate the report.
YES" continued Mrs. Bishop, I've
been a cripple with rheumatism for
long time and for three years I've been
using clutches and hadn't been able to
do anything about the house for a
good many years back. That's the
plain fact and my folks and all the
neighbors know of my helpless condi.
ton. and will tell you the same thing
any time you ask 'em.
Il would have severe pains in the
hips and small of my back even when
l wasn't trying to get about, and be-
sides that, l was not in a very good
general condition. 1t may have start
ed because l couldn't get about and
take exercise, but l lost my appetite
and things didn't taste good nor agree
with me after had eaten. l was con-
stipated good deal, too.
II saw where Tanlac was helping a
great many people and thought may
be it would make me feel little bet
ter even if it failed to help my pains.
but l am happy to say it has done
hundred times more than 1 expected,
for l have laid aside the old crutches
and am now actually doing all my
house work.
81 have taken five bottles and can
walk anywhere / want to without
clutches and my rheumatic pains have
left me. My appetite is good and 1
can eat anything l want without its
.bothering me in the least, and 1 believe
ii l continue to take it while longer
it will make me entirely we'll for good
and all.
Il want everybody to know about
this great medicine for it certainly is
wonderful-my case ought to prove
that to anybody l want everybody that
has such troubles to get it and stop
wasting their money on quack medi-
cines."

OF asking our next supervisor to give

states and other neutrals have, after
long waiting, arrived at the conclu.
sion and now are giving expression &c
the belief that there is no hope of the

allies have shown no ability to end
the war by conquering Germany and
the failure Of Germany to overrun and
subjugate the allies in the early days
Of the war when they were unprepar-
ed makes 1t certain that she will never
be able to dictate the terms of peace
as the unquestioned autocrat of Eu-
rope. Under present conditions the
war seems destined to drag on interim
inably, with nothing gained save the
increasing slaughter of men and the
waste Of Europe's wealth and re-
sources. England resents bitterly any
intimation that she is not mistress of
the cas- and therefore the arbiter of
the d%estinies of Europe and the world,
consequently there is no cordial re-
ception for President Wilson's sugges-
ton that the time Is opportune for a
peace conference.

schools. modern and efficient public
schools. larger pensions for Confed-
crate soldiers. and a dozen other pro-
gressive measures. then taxes must be
higher. fsr MI these things cost mon
