The difference between wool and

The sale of the one load of stock

MARKED ADVANTAGE
TO THOSE ENLISTING
IN THE ARMY NOW

Captain j. D. Watson, United States
army, in charge of recruiting for the
district embracing Utah and Idaho, was
in the city today from Salt Lake in
specting enlistments.
There are many misrepresentation as
to our work." said Captain Watson.
"One is that we are recruiting only for
the infantry. The fact is that we are
recruiting for every branch of the serv-
ice-infantry, cavalry, artillery, ord
nance. quartermaster signal corps, en-
cheering, officers reserve and, in fact,
everything.
"The United States today needs men
and needs them badly. Those who en-
list now will enjoy an advantage over
those who enlist later or who may be
drafted.
In Utah the response has been more
generous than it has been in Idaho, but
there is no question when, the Idaho
boys get around to it they will rally
loyalty to the colors
1T may be information to many that
the pay for all enlisted men has been
increased 20 per cent"

DARkfN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea
and Sulphur Recipe and
Nobody Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's 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 ef-
feet.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for SO cent bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation. 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 druggist
says 1t 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 time. By morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, 1t becomes beautiful
ly dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire more youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.-Adv.

FOR THE RELIEF
OF GERMAN-BOR
IN UNITED STATES.
Senator Townsend Receiv-
ing Letters From All
Parts of the Country Com
mending His Pending Bill.

washington, April 17.-Nation- wide
interest Is being manifested in the
Townsend bill for the relief of worthy
German born residents of this country.
1he Michigan senator Is receiving let
tiers In daily increasing number from
all sections, and every communication,
In some way, commends the purpose of
the Dill. Some Of these letters are ex-
tremeiy pathetic. Here is an epitome
OF letter from an exceptionally we'll
educated mature woman:
Il was born and bred in Boston, and
became teacher in the public schools.
For more than Is years taught in the
night as well as the day schools. Last
July married a man born in America.
but who was reared and became of age
In Germany; and now my husband is
classed as an allen enemy of this
country. Your bill, If enacted into law,
will give relief to my worthy husband,
to me, and to the baby we are expect
ing in July.
MY husband. grandfather was O
German who enligrated to this coun-
try. settled in Charleston, s. c., and
prospered. He had two sons, one Of
them the father of my husband, the
other who returned to the old home In
Germany. The father of my husband
remained in Charleston, married, and
became father of two sons; and when
they were three and five years Of age,
he died. The boys were taken to their
uncle in Germany. educated there, and
came of age in Germany. Both of them
came back to America; but both of
them speak the language Of their ma
tive land with pronounced German &C
cent; and they are regarded as pro-
German, and quite naturally.
Neither my husband nor his brother
ever took enough interest in political
affairs to become naturalized; but both
Of them are American born, and neither
one Of them has ever had any idea Of
being other than loyal citizen of his
native land.
Because of these conditions, and be-
cause of recent war developments. my
husbands opportunities for employ
ment have been so narrowed that max
ing bare living Is difficult. / am one
of many, many thousands who need re-
lief, for when your bill becomes a law
my husband will be among the very
first to declare his citizenship. He has
been in his native land now, well nigh
Is years, and he is in no sense an allen
enemy Of the land of his birth. Morn
ing, noon and night, substantially in all
of my waking hours, I am praying for
the enactment of the Townsend bill,
and praying also that God may bless
you always and in every way"

Boise, Idaho, April 16, 1917.-Editor
Capital News: 1t has come to my
knowledge that rumors are afloat in
this community limiting at doubt of my
loyalty to our coCatr- in this great
crisis. l had once or twice heard of
such putrid talk but concluded that it
emanated and was given credence only
by some enemy or enemies of mine.
But last night ! was called upon the
phone by friend who asked whether
the report that had no United States
flag in my house were true. He gave
the names of four men, strangers to
me, who he said gave currency to the
report. This is such amazing news to
me that l must beg for space in your
columns to refute the SANDER.
l can conceive of no reason why or
where such an unfair report can have
originated. I do, not know of a word
that l have uttered that any one can
distort into suggesting disloyalty to
my country or N, flag, and l do know
that no such base thought ever sug
Eested itself in my mind.
Can it be that this foul gossip arose
because of my German extraction?
Can it be possible that there is any one
so unfair as to cast doubt and sus-
picion upon all who trace their an
cestry back to the Vaterland? If 1t Is
my German name that gives rise to
this infamous report, then 1 answer
that 1 am proud to trace my lineage
back to the country Of Goethe and
Schiller, of Beethoven and Mendel-
ssohn, of Rontgen and Koch, Of Kant
and Schopenhauer; but prouder still

1t is true that in the titanic strug-

Idaho defense council the governor
urged that when the northern men,
bers of the council meet there next
Saturday special efforts be made to
ascertain the extent Of the fuel pos
sibilities and the use of waste from
lumber mills and camps for that pur-
pose as well as to investigate the ne
cessity Of placing more men in the for
ests to get out timber.
CRISIS MAKES STEP NECESSARY.
The following letter was addressed
to Colonel Heigho by the governor:
Colonel Z. M. Heigho, Receiver P.
& I. N. railroad, New Meadows, Ida.
Dear Colonel The state Of Idahv is
now engaged in the mobilization of it's
resources of every kind. Your road
runs through rich timber belt and as
fuel is a great prime necessity for the
people of this section of Idaho, ! would
be pleased to have you report to me
whether you have made any arrange
ments to carry the surplus and waste
of the sawmills tributary to your road
to the main line of the Oregon Short
Line railroad and from there have 1t
distributed to such points as 1t is likely
TO be needed, and also If you have
made special rates on cord wood on
the main line and from there to var
ious points in the state in proximity to
Weiser.
In the present crisis it is necessary
to mobilize every resource of the
state and as men will be very scarce
In the coal mines and probably a con-
gestion of traffic on the railroads may
ensue for the transportation of fuel,
trust l may not infringe upon your
prerogatives In above requests and
suggestions but am availing myself Of
your kind assistance and cooperation
as offered me In your previous letter.
IF there are special grants neces-
sary from the public utilities commits
sion or anything else needed to assist
the state of Idaho in the mobilization
of resources along your line, 1 would
be glad to have your suggestion or a
personal interview with you.
