RED CROSS CHRISTMAS CHEER

The people of the United States
are approaching the Christmas holi-
days under conditions this country
never has seen before; and, more
over, it is probable that this ynar we
shall not experience our most sorrow
full Christmas while this world war
RACES.
With the thought of the nation
dwelling largely on the infinite suf-
lering aboard, on the certainty that
our own flesh and blood will soon be
enduring it's full share of that suffer
ing and ON the absence from home
of hundreds of thousands of dear
ones, Christmas, 1917, will be war
Christmas.
Into this sombre outlook the Red
Cross is seeking to bring something
of cheer. In a campaign lasting
from December 16 till Christmas Eve
it will ask for 100000 new mem
bers. 1t will urge these 100000
to become ped Cross Christmas" re-
cruits, that they may enable the Red
Cross to tighten the burden our Ar
my and Navy and those of our allies
are called upon to bear.
This cooperation with the Red
Cross is real service of which we may
all be pround. And that this service,
when rendered by one, may be known
to his neighbor, the Red Cross will
urge each old and each new member
to display at his home Red Cross
service flag on which each red cross
stands for member.
The hundreds of thousands of these
flags already being shown by old
members will swell into millions be-
fore Christmas, each flag and each
little cross bearing testimony that
some ones Christmas has been made
happier for our own boys and hap
pier for the soldiers of our allies.
Let us all help to make this Red
Cross Christmas-which is another
way Of saying: Let us make it the
happiest Christmas possible with the
war clouds hanging low.

now piled up at Vladivostok more
supplies than the trans Siberian rail

Before the Bolshcviki got into con

Jerusalem AT Last In Hands OF
Christians After long Turkish Rule

London. Dec. 10.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the cxchequer, an
nounccd in the house of commonh to-
day that Jerusalem, after being sur
rounded on all sides by British troops,
had surrendered.
Two bodies of British troops, Bon
ar Law said, surrounded the city and
cut it off from the Turkish general
lines of communication. Thereupon
the city surrendered.
British armies began their sweep
up the valley of Palestine from the
Suez canal early last spring. Almost
unnoted and overshadowed by the
terrific conflict on the west front,
first General Murray and later Cen
eral Allenby pushed steadily upward
against the Turks.
Jerusalem's fate was sealed when
this British expeditionary force on
November l captured GAIA, immedi-
ately after taking the ancient city of
Beersheba. General Allenby sent his
forces rapidly north and a FORTNIGHT
later they took Jaffa, the golden city
of Joppa, and seaport to Jerusalem.

born, lies scant six mites due south
OF Jerusalem, and is presumably al.
so now in British hands.

AN OLD RECIPE
To DARkEN HAIR
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR TURNS
GRAY, FADED HAIR DARK
AND GLOSSY.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, 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 it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
Ingredients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
1t so naturally and evenly. You
dampen sponge or soft brush with
1t and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
Your hair becomes beautifully dark.

J. r.. Mccarthy spoke of the fact
that the accommodations for picnic

where benches and tables are pro

He suggested something Of this sort
for Keokuk next season, and the
league will take up the proposition
with the city commissioners.
