1t is an absolute marvel that after
IS months of war we are still almost
the only open gold country in the
world. Our paper can be exchanged for
gold at the bank. Every sovereign in
paper money has gold back of it. 1t
would never have been believed two
years ago that British credit coulu
stand the extraordinary test to which
it has been subjected.
Notwithstanding the gigantic ex-

Touching on the question as to
whether after the war acceptance and

discouraged in London, the chancellor
said:
This subject must be let for the

ASK BRITAIN TO send
|. NO MORE GOLD TOU. S.
American Bankers Fear Undue lnAa-
ton and Further Rise in Prices.

New York, Nov. 2-American bankers
for the first time in history have asked
the British government to refrain from
sending any more gold to this country.
This request is understood TO have
been conveyed to the British govern
ment through J. P. Morgan and Co., fis-
cal agents In this country for Great Brt-
tain, but this could not be confirmed.
AJmember of the banking house was
responsible for the statement that the
British government had been asked to
refrain from further shipments of the
precious metal to the United States.
The request Is understood to be based
on the belief that further accumulations
Of gold would cause a continued rise In
the price Of necessities and might lead
the banks to be unusually lenient in ex-
tending credits to borrowers, thus bring
ing about undue imitation.
For the first time .. p. Morgan and
Company did not receive a consignment
of gold from Canada yesterday. although
shipments have been received daily In
large volumes by that firm from the
Dominion for months>
A partner OF the banking house gave
II as his opinion that gold imports from
Canada would cease for a fortnight at
least, except for small amounts that may
be already on the way from Halifax.

Takes No Formal Action. a

While no formal vote was taken. the
majority sentiment of the Cathedral
Heights Citizens8 Association membership
at the meeting in St. Adams Parish Hall
last night was In favor OF the Boriand
amendment for street improvements.
This amendment is being fought bitterly
by the Federation of Citizens' Associa-
lions and other civic bodies of the Dis
trfct which have united TO work for its
repeal. but the Cathedral Heights mem
bers believe the Borland amendment
would serve TO bring about street i'm

upon the taxpayers.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes

looks streaked. Just a few applications
Of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundred-fold. =.
Don't stay grayi Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a 5O-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" !"
which Is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved byi the addition Of other ingredi-
ents. Thousands Of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation. because It
darkens the hair beautifully, 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 at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appiica-
ton or two. its natural color Is restored
and 1t becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trous. and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
Is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.--Adv.
