Bangor, April IS, 1917.
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church:
The work Of our church is in most

tic and devoted cooperation. l wish

tesy. and your generous support.

vice which not only makes a strong
personal appeal to me, but gives OPP
portunity to. cooperate with every

betterment.

successor at once. SO that l can COM
plete my service with you not later

the Methodist church in Augusta He is
widely known as an able speaker not
only on religious but civic matters and
his loss to Bangor both as minister
and citizen will cause much regret

Young Fur SEALS.

From the ages OF one to four years
fur seals are extremely playful. They
are marvellous swimmers and frolic
about in pursuit Of one another. now
diving deep and then, one after the
other, suddenly leaping high above the
surface In graceful curves, like DOR
posses. Squids and fish Of various spe-
cies are their main food. Their chief
natural enemy Is the killer whale
which follows their migrations and
haunts the sea about their breeding
ground, taking heavy toll among them.

Submits Substitute
for General Spy Bill

Washington, Feb. ga substitute
for the general spy bill, giving the
president unlimited power in time of ma
tional emergency or war to conscript
material as well as men, was proposed
to the house judiciary committee to-
day by Arthur f. Holder of the legis-
lative committee of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
AS substitute for the entire spy bill,
Holder proposed that:
"During times of war or when war
was imminent, the president shall be
vested with unlimited power to use all
'of the resources of the United States,
both human and material in behalf of
the successful conduct of the strug-
gle."
Holder declared that section of the
bill fixing punishment for "untrue
statements" designed to influence the
action of this government or any other
friendly government, would destroy ev-
erything done for working men in the
Clayton act; would practically deny the
right of labor to organize and would de
stroy the right to petition congress.
This would be effected, Holder said
because anyone in authority could de.
! clare a statement made by labor or.
gamzation on national question to be
untrue" regardless of its real merits

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's a
Simple Recipe That Any
body Can Apply With
a Hair Brush

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back TO grandmother S time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 80 cent bottle of
"Wyeth $ Sage and Sulphur Com
pound you will get this famous old
prescription, improved by the addition
of other ingredients which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown gruggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, it becomes beautiful
ly dark and glossy.

TO GET
SALARY OF S12.5OO
Gets a Raise He Should Have
Had Two Years Ago from
Tight Wads
BY II. G. Hamilton

New York, Feb. 22.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander, after FIX years in the
National league, has finally jumped
into the class of ball players drawing
huge salaries. He will begin the season
TO draw a salary proportionate with 9th
er great stars of the game, after hav-
ing pitched his team into one pennant
and having tried yaliantly to do the
same thing in two other seasons.
He signed contract in Philadelphia
calling for a salary, it is generally be
lieved, of $l2.500 a year. That is $2,-
500 less than the sum he was holding
out for and is So, 500, more than he was
finally offered by President Baker
Of the Phillies.
There are now five men in baseball
believed to be drawing larger salaries
than Alexander. Two of these, John J..
MeGraw and George Stallings, are
managers. Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and
Eddie Collins are the others. They are
admittedly the greatest players in the
game.
Cobb is reported to be drawing $751;
900 year; Speaker $l7.500 and Col
Inns $4,000. Walter johnson of the
Senators is receiving a salary of $l2,-
500
Comparing the record of Alexander
with the records Of other high salaried
stars, it is reasonable to argue that
Alexander should have received the
raise long ago.
+. In 1918 Alexander won 81 games and
lost ten, pitching his team almost un
aided into the championship of the Ma
tional league. He missed duplicating
this feat last fall by the narrowest of
margins. In fact he pitcned two games
in single day last fall, winning both
of them. He won the only world S ser
les game credited to the Phillies over
the Red Sox in the 1915 conflict.
