ladies! DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand
mothers recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and nobody VIII know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natu-
raj color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull. faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
outSpf-date. Nowadays, by asking at
anysdrug store for a bottle of "Wy-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old prepara-
ton. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark apd glossy.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention of
disease.-Adv.

War STRIPS U. S.
OF POLICEMEN
Exemption Urged to Avert
Threatened Epidemic
Of Crime. :

The United States Is facing q crisis
in its various police departments.
A countrywide epidemic of crime
Is imminent II something is not done
to remedy the situation.
: The basic reason is said to be the
ruling made by Congress that no
policeman will be exempt from the
military conservative law.
A great shortage of policemen ex-
lists in America. The inability to
enlist new men on the side of the
law Is battling the heads of the police
organizations of practically every
large city.
Want Police Exempt.
The exemption OF all policemen from
military service will be feryently
urged by the executives of the coun-
try's police departments.
These facts were brought out yes
terday afternoon in a conference be-
tween four representatives of the
large police departments of the coun-
try and Superintendent of Police of
the District of Columbia. Mai. Ray
mond W. Pullman.
The meeting came as an after-ses-
sion to the conference that Director
Van H. Manning, of the Bureau OF
Mines. had yesterday with many dele
gates from Police Departments all
over the country, at which plans were
discussed to safely handle the sale
of explosives.
This conference came as the result
of the fact that many of the ex-
plosions that have happened lately
! are thought to have been caused by
enemy spies.
Plan Special Meeting.
A special meeting is planned to be
held in Washington sometime during
the latter part OF next November
to take steps to remedy the country's
depleted police forces.
Those police experts who conferred
with Maj. Pullman, yesterday were:
w. H. Westbrook. deputy superin-
tendent of the Chicago police depart
/ ment; Marshall Robert ID. Carter, head
| Of the Baltimore police; W. H. Mat
thews, superintendent of the Pitts
burgh police department and Mai. e.
G. Kizer. Of the Norfolk police de-
partment, and secretary of the inter-
national association of police chiefs
Maj. Kizer stated that he is hearing
from the heads of police departments
in all sections OF the country COM
planning of the serious condition to
be met with because of SO many of
the men going into the army.
Small Salaries Paid.
He said that the result is that there
Is a lack Of protection in some cities
because of the inability to get new
policemen to I'LL the places of those
who have been selected for army SER
vice. The small salaries that are al
loted them do not attract new men.
1t was said.
1t is feared that the situation will
grow worse as the National Army in
creases IN size. 1t was believed by
all present that the hazardous work
performed by the police. especially
during war times. is a sufficient argu-
ment for their exemption.

SEATTLE, Dec. lO.-High shoes and short skirts of the modern Seat tie woman have received the stamp of approval of Alexander Lesper- ance, owner of the famous Portland roadhouse on Glacier creek, in the Klondike. Mir: Lesperance is in Se- attle on his first visit here in 20 years, says the Times.
 Last time I was here," said MT. Lesperance, "the women had long skirts that dragged on the side walks. They weren't very sanitary. Now the fashions are all right. The snow has to be pretty deep before the women's skirts will drag in 1t, They're showing good sense in Dmak- ing their clothing"
 Mir. LesDerance went north in the winter of 1896-97, and mushed over Chilkoot pass. He mined on Last Chance and Dominion creeks and went broke, so he started a road house, and has been in the business ever since. He is going to South Dakota to visit brother he hasn't seen in rorty-two years. He will so back to the Klondike in February.
