HARRY LAUDER SWAPS
THRONG WITH ELOQUENCE

Comedian as he is, the greatest
perhaps in the world, Harry Lou
der created for himself a new
laurel when ON Sunday last he
addressed a vast audience at the
Philadelphia Opera House, and
by his gift Of pure oratory bent
his hearers first in laughter, then
TO tears and again with glee, as
he recited his experiences among
the troops that face the brutal
Hun on the fields Of France.
Perhaps the most intense mo-
snent Was when he told Of stand
ing by his boys grave, on a hill
side in France. II felt like
thrusting my hands down through
the wet, damp ground and en-
Dracing him." said Lauder, as he
looked far out into his audience.
x wanted to kiss my boy for
svhat he had done for his country,
and his mother, and his father.'
AS these words were uttered, as
coming from his soul, a black
Tobed figure Of woman sitting
IN the rear row Of chairs moved
-ameasily. It was Mrs. Louder,
whom few recognized. She had
Deen there during the meeting.
Another situation that could
only have been produced by a
master in the art Of stirring his
hearers, when, after speaking in
heavy Scotch brogue, which con-
7vulsed his audience, he turned
suddenly to the awful side Of the
War in these words, "The world
IS on fire. / tell you it must be
put out-black out. You may
overflow your Golfers with money
and swell your ranks with men,
because you Americans are going
so need them, all. We fight a diff
ferent fight than the Germans.
The Huns, the Germans, the
Boches fight different fight; the
Kaiser is their god" Here the

LADIES'! LOOK YOUNG.
DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of a youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's ap-
pearance a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents. Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, it's natural color is restored and it
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation Or pre-
-yention Of disease.

READ A NEWSPAPER OR
YOU'RE A STACKER

"The man or woman who in
these critical times fails to read
good newspaper regularly is a
slacker,' declared Prof. Willard
G.. Bleyer, head Of the Department
Of Journalism at the University
Of Wisconsin, in addressing the
students Of the Library School
last week.
1T is the patriotic duty Of
every person in this country to
keep informed in regard to the
epoch making events and utter
ances that are reported in the
press from day to day." he con-
tinued.
The food Of opinion is the
news Of the day." as President
Wilson has we'll said, and it be-
hooves every citizen not only to
read the news, but to form intelli-
gent opinions in regard to it.
"Intelligent public opinion,
without which we cannot have
true democracy, is the sum total
Of the opinions Of individual citi-
zens, and the opinions Of these
citizens must be formed largely
from the news which is printed in
newspapers.
"By failing to read the news
and to consider it's significance, a
man is Sinking his duty to his
country just as truly as he is
when he fails to express his opin-
ions by casting his vote at an
election. Press Bulletin.

AUTHORITIES LOOKING AFTER FISHING BOAT
 MANHATTAN

JUNEAU, Nov. 11-Deputy U. s. marshals at all ports in Southeastern Alaska are searching for the Canadian fishing boat Manhattan, whose officers and crew are wanted on the charge of grand larceny in connection with the footing of the wrecked steamer Al-ki.
 Among the loot secured were val uables taken from the trunks and other baggage of the passengers.
 It is claimed by those who visited the wreck that the footing was car ried on in the most wanton manner. Trunks were hacked open with axes, valuable baggage slit with knives and the contents scattered over the yes sel. Even the Sitka and Petersburg mail bags were rifled and many let ters scattered to the mercy of the winds.
 The Manhattan is said to have laid alongside the wreck for thirty-six hours, and the officers allowed the crew to loot at will The Manhattan is operated by the Canadian Fisheries Company of Prince Rupert.--Juneau Dispatch.
