DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So
Naturally that Nobody Can
Tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre
or when it fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by a lack of
sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother 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.

other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied:
You just dampen a 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 delights
the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully %darkening the hair after
a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
it an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
mound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
p~earance to the hair. It is not in

Federal Government Calls Guard En-

constructing the 16 environments also
is virtually complete. Under an Or

The only question as to CANON

Baker said, involves a possible
relocation of the cantonment now as

German Intrigue Made
China Enter Into War

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-China's of
fetal explanation of the declaration
of a state of war with Germany and
Austria Hungary, in the form of a
statement by the Foreign Office, was
received last night at the Chinese
Legation here. 1t said:
I'm view of the many kinds of Ger
man intrigue seeming to create dis
order in China the Chinese Govern
ment found it impossible to wait for
the convocation of Parliament before
declaring the existence of the state
of war with Germany, especially since
the rupture of diplomatic relations
with the Imperial German Govern
ment had been previously approved
by Parliament almost unanimously.
Austria Hungary has all along
man Imperial Government. Moreover.
the Austrians, like the Germans. have
special settlements in China which
might easily be used by Germans, who
speak the same language as Austrians
as a base of operation for further in
trigues, thereby rendering the situa-
tion still more difficult for China to
cope with.
"The Chinese Government there
fore, was unable to adopt a different
attitude toward Austria Hungary, but
was constrained, as an act of self
protection, simultaneously to accord
her the same treatment as was ac-
corded Germany"

of Commerce, likewise declared that
organizations like the I. w. w. are
criminally aiding German propa-
ganda in this country" adding: Let
us make those who oppose obstacles
to the success of the war feel that
they are unhung traitors"
He further said tht until the
United States has placed 5000, 900
men In the fighting line we will have
no right to consider ourselves as
standing level with Canada in this
night for democracy" and advocated
the putting of American soldiers 'in

Cheese, therefore. is usually cheap

Cheese can also be combined in

it may be used in soups or with

Dangerous Stomach Acids That

Cause Gas and Indigestion
The Contents of An Acid Stomach Should Neutazed and
Sweetened-Never Artifcally Digested Say Physicians

stomach should be sweetened or
neutralized with little mag
nesia - not the ordinary CONNER
cial magnesia carbonate, citrate,
oxides or milks-but pure bisu-
rated magnesia which can be OBJ
tained from druggists anywhere
either in the form of 5-grain tab
let's or powder. A couple of the
tablets or teaspoonful of the
powder in a little water right
after eating will neutralize all the
excess acid in stomach and pre-
vent its formation, will soothe,
cool and heal the sore, burning
and irritated stomach lining and
the stomach will then easily di-
gest its meals without pain or
trouble of any kind.
Bisurated Magnesia. unlike most
forms of magnesia, is not used as
a laxative and is harmless to the
stomach. 1t is used daily by thous-
ands. of "acid stomach" people
who now enjoy their meals with
no more fear of indigestion.

mined to a surprising extent by his
bearing. The man who slouches
reels like a slouch. The man who
holds his head up faces the world
with confidence and courage.
If this is true in civilian life. it is
ten times more true in military life.
For solder must always be strong
ly marked by his snap, his precision,
and his vigor. He can not have these
traits unless he carries himself like
soldier.
The Bearing of Soldier
Few people without military train
ing have a correct idea of what is
meant by the position and the bear
ing of a soldier. They are apt to
imagine that 1t means a strut or an
extremely strained attitude. Or,
more frequently, they think that the
term can properly be applied to any
erect position. The truth of the case,
