SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKEnS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, iifeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lusrre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,'' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, itf takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall- ing hair. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertise rnept.

]. W. STENART'S
 LIFE NOT ABLE

Judge (. w. Grouse, speaking yester- day of J. w. Stewart. whose body was found on Friday at his home where he lived alone, southwest of the city. said he had known him for 37 years. He formed his acquaintance in Indiana when he himself began teaching MT. Stewart was the cou n5y school super intendent of the county at that time and well known educator throughout the state. Judge Grouse when probate judge at time when the duties of school superintendent were lodged in that office exercised the same author ity over MT. Stewart who had become teacher in this county
 But his first relation with MT. Stew art in Arizona was while he was agent of the Sacaton reservation. It was at that time that MT. Stewart came to Arizona and took charge of the school on the reservation. Mir. Stewart had been a newspaper man in Indiana and after leaving Sacaton he went to Knox vile, Tenn, where he owned a paper TOT d tune He was not successful there nor was he later in another journalistic enterprise.
 He returned to Arizona in 1905 and re-engaeed i1 teaching. He had also studied law and probably had practicea in Indiana. But he was a student ana lacked facility for putting what he knew into practice. He had long re- garded himself as a failure in life though he engaged and held the respect ~or who knew him.
 He had some years. ago separated fr,... hE Nlle after division of their \ n~onertv. She is now believed to be living in California with their youngest uaus nIer. TWO other daughters reside in Arizona, one at Hayden and the otho~ at Skull Valley. A telegram was received yesterday morning from the la ,ter suggesting that the funeral take place today but it will probably be post poned until tomorrow.

FARMERS WILL CONVENE HIRE
 ON SATURDAY

The next meeting of the farmers of this valley and their families for a con- ference regarding all matttrs relating to the agricultural industry will be held at the state fair grounds next Saturday as they will be held on the third Satur- day of every month during the sum mer and fall The first was held last month. Though on account of lack of proper notice. it was not so well at tended, it proved very profitable and pleasant one and gave promise of lar ger assemblages in the future.
 The program for the meeting of next Saturday has not yet been made up but t will be announced in the course of the week There will be a picnic al II o'clock and after that there will be addresses by one or more members of the faculty of the agricultural depart ment of the university and remarks by local farmers and the farm advisor.
 At these meetings there will be dis cussions of dairying, poultry raising the breeding and care of live stock the planting of crops, the preservation of feed and farm products generally and a treatment of all matters in which farmers are interested
 Speaking of these meetings Fe1ter- day. Supervisor J. R. Bradsha w ore oI the promoters said yesterday: No man knows so much about farming that he cannot learn something from the ex- Derience of others. I know in my own case, I plodded along for years finding out for myself what other people al ready knew and which l learned later at some cost. I might have been many thousands of dollars better off if could have found out quickly as one can at these meetings, what other men who had gone through the same ex- perience l Was going through had al ready found out"

Him on Crisis.

Copenhagen, Feb. II. via London
II have given no statement or interview
on the submarine situation or on the
present crisis to any newspaperman; |
shall not do so after crossing the from
tier and ! intend TO say nothing for
publication regarding the situation until
after reaching Washington and reporting
TO the president and the secretary of
state" Ambassador James w. Gerard
reiterated to the correspondent of The
Associated Press at Berlin i'm the final
conversation had with Mr.. Gerard before
the correspondents departure from the
German capital. The correspondent was
requested TO cable it Immediately upon
reaching an uncensored telegraph station
the ambassador adding:
Anything in the nature of state
ment or interview purporting to come
from me earlier during the crisis, now,
during the journey or upon my arrival
in America can therefore be regarded as
a fabrication"
The ambassador said he feared at.
tempts TO saddle him with responsibility
for utterances that were not his BY ire
sponsible correspondents seeking a good
story" and that he took this means OF
heading off any such efforts, which
might most mischieyOusly effect the gen
eral situation.

POUNDING THE TURKS.
British Secured New Front Line of Over
600 Yards,

London, Feb. l2.--An official report
issued last night described briefly Brit.
ish success against the Turks in Meso-
potamia.
'In Mesopotamia four Turkish at
tacks on the right were repulsed and
the British hold on the enemy trenches
on the left was rapidly extended by
bombing attacks.
Later, after a heavy bombardment. a
successful assault was undertaken
against trenches west of the lieorice fac
tory, which Gen. Townshend held
through the siege of Kut- Ell -Amara,
whereby we secured the factory and 500
yards of enemy trenches.
"As result of these operations a new
line has been occupied on a frontage of
over 5000 yards and the enemy pushed
back for a depth varying from 500 to
1900 yards. All the evidence shows that
the Turks suffered heavily.

INFURIATED CROWD
FOUGHT FIREMEN
The First Apparatus to Ar
rive Did Not Carry Lad
ders with Which to Rescue
the People at the Windows
and Crowd Became Fran
tic at the Delay

| Minneapolis, Feb. l2.-Between fifteer
and twenty lives were lost in a fire
which destroyed the kenwood hotel early
this morning. A score were injured
some of them seriously, by leaping from
the windows when the fre-escape be-.
came heated. Many of the 26 guest;
were transients, and the actual death
list probably never will be known and
the Identification OF the bodies. if any
thing remains of them, probably will be
impossible.
The fire, which apparently started in
the basement, spread rapidly and soon
the entire four-story building was en-
veloped in flames. When the fire was
discovered, the firemen were at another
fire some distance away and ii was flf.
teen minutes before the first piece of
apparatus arrived The FIRST company to
arrive had no ladders and the crowd of
spectators, becoming infuriated, attacked
the tiremen, according to the statement
of Fire Chief Ringer. The police quelled
the distur bance, and few minutes later
another company with ladders arrived.
Those who escaped from the building
had no opportunity to dress and they
suffered terribly from the temperature
of ten degrees below zero.

APPLY FOR GUNS
TO ARM THE SHIPS
OF AMERICAN LINE

English channels and the gist of these
reports was that the United States gov
ernment actually had violated the prop
erty and liberty of German citizens.
English agents by thus adulterating
the truth do not intend, of course, to
slander the United States. Their inten-
tion was TO create public alarm in Ger
many, and thus cause outbursts of popu-
lar Indignation and perhaps, even prompt
the German government to rash action
based on error. All this would have been
reported in exactly the same--that is, in
correct--fashion to the United States by
the same British agencies. If they had
succeeded, these British agents would
have saddled Germany with the respon-
sibility and fault in the eyes of every
candid, but misled, observer.
However, during two years and half
we have been practically cut off from re-
liable and speedy communication with
the United States. During that time we
have learned to appreciate British re-
ports at their true value. We therefore
