NECESSARY PEP is LACKING
No Particular Reason Given for This
Peculiar Condition Among Play
ers of Big Leagues.

The opinion seems to be generally
held that the ball teams of both ma
jor leagues lack pep this season. No
particular reason is given for this con-
dition, but the fact is that the players
go through their performances in a
most uninspiring manner. They will
all probably wake up one of these
days and We'll again see some of the
old stuff that made all of as stand
ON our toes.

he gave them one of his characteristic
talkings-to, ending with fiat, an ulti-

as a bait. They were to marry within
the year. The first one doing so was
to receive an extra $4,000 to start out
with, the best equipped home that sum
could buy.

"What business did you say the boss

MONEY NOT TIED UP

Money invested in Liberty Loan
Bonds is in no way in the world "tied
up" So far as the Government is
concerned the money paid in for these
bonds, including that loaned our allies,
is being and is to be spent in this
country and therefore Immediately
paid back to the people for labor and
products of the United States, So far
from being "tied up' this money is in
effect never drawn from circulation.
So far as the investor in the Liberty
Loan Bond is concerned his money is
not "tied up since there is always a
ready market for United States Gov
eminent Bonds. Everybody knows
this. AS shown by the subscription
the demand for Liberty Loan Bonds ex-
ceeded the supply so per cent. This
creates an immediate market for the
Liberty Loan Bonds. Another issue
will be offered to the people the an
nouncement of which will be made by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in
due course. The oversubscription of
the first issue is an indication of which
may be expected for the second issue,
which is hoped will meet with a larger
number of subscribers and great sum
subscribed.

Dancers of Press Censorship

Although the Cruger murder case in
New York City is local affair in one
sense, it has attracted nationwide at
tention because of the demonstration
of the need of public surveillance over
bureaucracy. The disappearance of the
Cruger girl was to be passed over
without attention by the detective bur-
eau for reasons yet to be disclosed. A
woman lawyer, through friendship for
the family, worked on the case and
finally discovered the remains of the
murdered girl. Publicity has since
forced a sweeping investigation of the
detective service.
But what would have been the out
come if New York City had established
a press censorship such as the national
administration undertook to establish?
Under such a system of dictatorship
over the press, all the facts would
interfere with the capture or conviction
of the murder The inefficiency, or
worse, of the detective bureau, would
have been concealed by the bureau
itself.
The more one thinks of the harm
resulting from suppressing free press,
the more incredible it seems that any
national administration could have even
asked for such broad powers as were
included in the proposed legislation.

GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For so cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use preparation, improved by the add
ton of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with 1t
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time By morning
all gray hair disappears, and. after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound and look years
Younger. This ready-to-use preparation
is a delightful toilet requisite and not a
medicine It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.
