is located at Style, Holland The con-
tracts for the hospital total $S2,7O0,
and when completed the total cost will
be in the neighborhood of 100000
The new structure is being built just
| west of the present hospital and will
contain thirty-two beds. 1t will be
| connected with the present hospital
| by covered archway and will also be
| connected on the west by a recently
| purchased building which will be
| used as a dormitory for the nurses
and will also contain chapel The
hospital to the east will be converted
| into maternity hospital The site Is
| ideal for the purpose, being on high
ground overlooking the river to the
| east and the city to the north and
south and west. 1t is expected that
the new hospital will be ready for
occupancy about May 1, 1918.
| The building is 42x118 feet, three
stories high above the basement, and
is fireproof throughout. Most of the
labor was furnished by Watertown

| When it was decided to build a new
hospital in Watertown the sisterhood
in charge invoked the aid of the citi-
zens of this section to help in secur-
ing portion of the funds necessary to
construct the necessary building,
which it was estimated would cost
complete in the neighborhood of $780,
900. Several committees of men and
! women took charge of this work and
made canvass of the city and adjoin-
ing towns. A considerable sum was
raised in this manner, but of course
the bulk of the amount required will
of necessity be financed by the sis
ters. However, the work of soliciting
has not been completed, but will be
finished up probably before the COM
pletion of the building

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
TRY GRANpMoTHER's OLD "a
voRiTE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur. properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bottle
Of this old time recipe improved by the
addition Of other ingredients for about
90 cents. Everybody uses this prepara-
ton now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as 1t
does 1t so naturally and evenly. You
dampen sponge or soft brush with 1t
and draw this through your hair. TAX
ing one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark. thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t Is
not intended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention Of disease.

Des Molnes, March %. - The Pitt
Johnston crowd went down in another
defeat yesterday when the Helming
printer and binder bill, which Speaker
Pitt announced after the road fight
would be the next bin the administra-
ton crowd would fight for, was defeat
ed by the adoption of the Miller-Stone
substitute. The Miller Stone ,ubsti-
tute bill went thru by a vote OF IS to
AZ. As compared to the tie vote on the
road fight which defeated the Pitt
Johnston road bill the vote shows the
Pitt forces have lost - considerable
strength since the road fight.
The Helming printer and binder bill
was the one favored by James Pierce Of
the Homestead. The principal objec-
vide any restrictions on the printer as
to specifications for the printing and
that under it a. printer might charge
higher rates than under the present
law. 1t provided for the Establishment
Of the state printer and binder at once.
1t also provided for a commission on
printing.
The substitute measure by Miller, OF
Boone county land Stone. of Sioux,
abolshes the office Of state printer and
binder after the terms Of the present
incumbents expire. which will be in
1919. 1t provides for the letting Of the
printing and binding by contract but
restricts the amounts to be paid by
specifying that the prices shall not be
higher than those specified under the
present law
Next to the road measure this bill
created the most feeling Of any which
has been up in the house, for it was
recognized as an alignment of the Pitt
Johnston forces again as against the
other elements in the house. The abol-
ishment Of tho state printer and binder
was the issue injected into the last
campaign by the Iowa Homestead A
similar bill was fought for In the leg
islature two years ago by the Home
stead.

two men who are publishers. Repre-

How tho Bills Differed.
The most important difference be-

and permits the bidding on separate
Items OF piecework while the Helmins
bin requires the letting OF the work In

Offering an opportunity for monopoly.
The Stone-Miller bill also retains
the present maximum prices and state
speciflca lions. which the llelming bill
did not.
The Helming bill would have tcrmi-
mated the offices of state printer and
binder in July, while the stone Miller
substitute permits them to serve out

Tho general sentiment in the house
was In favor of giving the contrac.
system trial, but the opposition was
determined that the offices were to be
abolished upon their terms. rather than
upon those offered by the Helming bill.

bill to vote for the new measure

the provisions Of the substitute bill,
and urging it's adoption. FIe was sue

yer, Of Polk county. who spoke at
length upon the printing and binding

Toxic, May 24.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-The Con

feat In the recent election. Revised
returns for the new house of repre-
sentatives show that the government
forces poNess a majority of As over
the opposition groups. The figures
stand as follows:
Pro-government: Seiyukai or Politi-

Anti-government: Kenseikai or
Constitutionalists, 1870; Kokuminto,

Representative Japanese, quite
apart from their political Affiliations,
are greatly surprised hat the con-
