Germany's EXPLANATIONS do not eX-
plain. To cut a mans throat cannot
be compensated by click of the
heels and a polite phrase. Pro-Ger-
man talk has been too dangerously

At recess, playing in the yard,
Willie strangled Susie hard;
Susie died in dreadful pain.

After while the teacher missed her.

THE WRONG IDEA.

There are still some who are under the inn presSion that aliens need not register. This idea is wrong. All those men who are of age must register Our alien friends who may re- fuse to register do not understand their legal position in this country in time of war; other wise they would not refuse to comply with the law.
 Under international law aliens like all other persons within country are bound to obey the laws ("and keep their mouth shut') of the land and are subject to it's civil and criminal juris- diction. Therefore it is the clear duty of all to register This cannot possibly prevent them from claiming exemption on the ground of alien age. No alien can be required to fight against his own country; and they must be given the op- portunity to leave the country. But if friend fy alien chooses to remain in this country and enjoy it's protection and privileges, he becomes liable to military duty.
 A principle which was applied during the civil war was that an alien who had declared his intention to become citizen had to either leave the country was subject to military service. It is our opinion that every man within the age prescribed must register.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Look years younger! Try Grandma's recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, 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 trouble some.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and SuI- phur Compound" You will get large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it. and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully, dark, thick and glossy, and you look younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease

Burdon took his text from Mum. 31-8, '.Ba1aam, also the son Of Beor they slew with their swords" and he said in part:
 This sentence tells the ending that came to what might have been a bril- liant life and calls up the pictures of Balaam dying with Israels spears in his bosom. an out and out foe of the people whom God had blessed It is a common thing to read in the daily press a short sentence giving the end of men who had been trying to face with one-hand and reaching for the things that the enemies of God have to offer with the other. It is no dis grace to die honorably with the face ing disgrace to fall pierced by spears sent home by hands that would de light to honor.
 There are men who would not pla. false to a trust yet would wrongly win. There are those who would not lie but would bribe to support a cause which they believed in their souls to be false. There are others who would would for selfish qualification entice the weak to sin and damn body and soul to hell. Many respected and re-. srectable men give liberally to the support of the church and religion in general, whose money came from grinding the faces of the poor and crushing the life blood out of white slaves. There are those who are rent ing and receiving the money which they pay from saloons, gambling helIs ond brothels. Balaarn might have been double hearted. Are these men one bit better? One cannot look to- wards God, serve Him and face to- ward the devil and his work. Man is made by His love. If we love the vulgar we will grow to be like them If we love pure. noble things we shall grow to be noble as they.
