LoNpoN, July 27.--EnEiand's merchant
marine. once the greatest anoat. has
been, sacrificed to fisht the war to a sue
cessful conclusion. These and other facts
Of an equally striking nature are brought
out in a report issued to-day by Lord
Robert Cecil. Minister OF Blockade.
According TO this report. private inter-
ests or national interests In foreign trade
no longer receive the slightest considera-
tion., Every vessel available now is used
for the most important task, whether
that task fits In with the owners plans
or not.
Every British liner now operates un-
der Government orders. the owners re-
ceiving Government rates and the profits
going TO the Government Formerly ship
owners directed their cruises according
to the schedule by which they best could
serve their customers interests, but now
many trades which had been built up in
foreign waters have been abandoned or
given to neutral lines. which are glad to
enter commercial territory outside the
war zones. q.
After Communicating all the tonnage
of Britain. the report continues. the
Government has surveyed all the
sources OF supplies and now is using the
ships to bring in necessaries. from the
nearest ports without regard to the old
system of trade distribution.
Over so per cent. of the vessels for
merly in foreign service now are plying
home waters, approximating a tonnage
OF $4,000. 900. OF which only half Is
available for the countrys trade the
other half being diverted to the needs
OF the army and the navy, the Allies
and the overseas dominions- The Ship
ping Ministry makes It plain that every
thing Great Britain possessed in the
way of shipping resources has been
thrown into the crucible of war.

SCORES WOODEN SHIPS.
Expert Says They VIII Fail Gnd
Tells Why.


"A feet Of ls knot steel merchant
vessels. carrying gun crews, will feed
our army and serve our allies and our
selves; but wooden vessels will fail and
the Germans know it,"
This is the way Samuel Bird, Jr.,
New York marine Insurance underwater
and a careful student of marine prob
lens presented by the war, sums up the
situation confronting the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
In a careful analysis OF the relative
merits of steel and wooden craft Mr..
Bird finds there Is practically no worth
while argument to be advanced in favor
bf the latter. His comparisons are ex-
pected to prove OF especial interest in
view Of the fact that the Shipping
Board Just before its reorganization gave
out statement showing that the Gov
ernment was obligated TO build wooden
vessels calling for an expenditure OF ap-
proximately s15o,ooo,ooo
speedy ships BaIk U-Roats.
In the first place, says Mr. Bird, ex-
perience OF marine insurance under
writer's has shown that speed is a prime
essential In enabling a ship to elude
submarine. 1t has been demonstrated
clearly. he says. that the large steel
vessel, with a speed, under forced draft
OF l6 to is knots, is very nearly i'm
munc from sinking by submarines, but
our experience proves conclusively that
all cargo vessels having a speed OF from
5 to 10 knots, II sighted by a sub
marine are doomed. The IL knot vessel,
II she sights. a submarine In time, II
able TO develop her maximum speed. has
an even chance OF escape"
AS another argument In favor OF The
speedy ship the point is made that slow

There is a strong probability. however.
that as soon as the new members of the

the number OF wooden ships for which
the General had arranged, or for which
negotiations were under way, will be
considerably increased. Gen. Goethals
planned to include in his first years pro-

steel.
In this he is no: in entire agreement
with some other naval constructors, who
are so convinced OF the unserviceability

tion even as an emergency measure.
Labor Wooden Ship Obstacle.
One of the first moves Of Chairman
Hurley has been to inaugurate a survey
OF the three main essentials N shipbuild-
tng-steel, lumber and labor. The chief
concern probably Is labor. Particularly
In the construction of wooden ships
great difference are in prospect in the
endeavor TO obtain, skilled labor.
The immediate supply OF steel and
lumber is inadequate, but the board
hopes this shortage soon will disappear
Assurances have been received from the
steel men that within few months they
will be able to furnish more steel than
the Government possibly can use.

Hurley and Capps Will Build
Many to Supplement Steel
Programme.

WAsHrNGfoN, July 27-wooden ships
are to have substantial part in the
programme of the reorganized Shipping
Board. They are to be built in execu-
tion Of the plan Of the board to get the
greatest possible tonnage in the shortest
time.
They are not to take the place OF steel
nor are they even to be built to an ex-
tent which will interfere In any degree
with the construction Of steel ships or
their manning. They will be built
primarily to supplement the tonnage af-
forded by steel construction and to give
the United States a means of acquiring
certain number OF ships in a hurry.
This much may be announced as a re-
suit of the meetings which the newly or
ganiZed board already has had. The
board to-day elected Z, n. Hurley chair

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darker Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and attractive with
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. BY asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get large bottle of
this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, for about so cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because II
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli
cation or two, it is restored to it's nat
ural color and looks glossy, soft anG
beautiful. This preparation is de
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, Respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sicE, misunderstanding souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, hearty, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode Of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, SO we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day s
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to dring each
morning, before breakfast, glass OF
real hot water with teaspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more foot
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turf
at constipation, bilious attacks, acit
stomach, nervous days and sleeples'
nights have become real cranks abou
the morning inside-bath. A quartz
pound of limestone phosphate will no
cost much at the drug store, but il
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone
its cleansing, sweetening and fresher
ing effect upon the system.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap.
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri.
tating the surrounding tissue or skin
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores
but will positively rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you.
