Have Dark Hair
and Look Young
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell
when you darken gray, faded hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with won-
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bottle
of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients. all
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
its so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful, This preparation is
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

visited.
Four ROCKIES are coming from
Nebraska City, six from Grand Island,

more from other towns not yet def
initely reported. Two recruits were

u. S. Note Pleases Russians
Expresses Peoples Aims, De.
clares Embassy Here

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The Presi-
dents note was enthusiastically COM
mented upon at the Russian Embassy
to-day, where it was declared to CORE
spond closely to the principles and
aims of the Russian revolution. The
following appreciation Of President
Wilson's note was expressed at the
Russian Embassy:
"The reply Of the United States to
the Pope's peace note. seems to US Rus
slams to be en- act Of highest political
wisdom and closely corresponds to the
principles and aims Of the Russian peo-
pie as formulated in the declarations
Of the Russian Provisional Govern
ment.
THE inspiring expressions of this
document have once more outlined the
fundamental aims pursued in this war
by the league of democratic nations.
"The statement president Wilson
made is 70 facilitate to the German
people their entrance in the path of
democratic revival and gives thrilling
anticipation of the final triumph OF
democracy and justice throughout the
world.
"Militarism and the imperialistic
aims Of the German rule have thus re-
ceived a new and powerful blow"

Critics of Pontif
Unfair, Says Paper
"Osservatore Romano" In.
dicates Pope Hoped for
Favorable Reply

ROME Tuesday. Aug. 2s.-The "os-
servatore Romano" the organ OF the
Vatican, prints a long article embody-
ing a discussion of the objections made
to the Pope's peace proposals, from
which it would appear evident that the
Pontiff hopes to obtain a favorable an
swer from the United States. 1t is in
timated by the paper that any steps
taken by the Pope are persistentiy
misinterpreted and subjected to unfair
criticism, and that the present pro-
posal is no exception.
For instance, il is pointed out, the
note has been criticised because the
Pope has entered the realm OF material
things rather than spiritual, when, In
fact. previous notes issued by him have
fully covered things spiritual. II ADDS
that the Vatican declares it cannot be
accused Of favoring the Germans, in
the face of frequent denunciations by
the Holy Father of the Belgian out.
RACES and the bombardment of open
cities.
Regarding the Pope's silence on the
Balkan problem, it Is further pointed
out that the Pope cannot offer an i'm
mediate concrete solution of a ques-
tion which has long troubled the
statesmen Of Europe The Pope, how
ever, in his note, the paper adds, spe-
officially invites the powers to meet
and arrive at an equitable agreement.
The "Osservatore Romano" discuss
ing the moral basis of the note, says
that the Holy Father. like President
Wilson In his notes, suggests the sub
stitution of the moral force of right
for material force, and likewise com
parcs passages in the statements Of
President Wilson TO the Papal note re-
gardlng the freedom Of the high seas
as being identical.
With respect to the expenses Of the
war, the paper says that the present
Russian policy is one OF peace with
out annexations or indemnities, and
that this policy has already been ac-
cepted by the Austro- Germans.

Berli1's Pledges
Keep Argentina
Out of the War
Lansing Points Out That
Promises Are Like Those
to United States
Success for Germany
Diplomats Succeed in Placat-
ing Buenos Ayres-Peo-
pie Pro-Ally
Success for Germany

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Any hope
felt here that Argentina would support
the Allied nations in their war against
Germany virtually has been abandoned,
as a result of the German governments
success in satisfying the demands OF
the Buenos Ayres Foreign Office in con-
nection with the sinking of the little
Argentine sailing craft Toro.
Germany's agreement TO pay 'ndem-
mites for ships sunk and promises not
to destroy other ships under the Argen-
tine flag caused Secretary Lansing to
point out to-day that the imperial gov
eminent had made a greater promise to
the United States and then had broken
her word.
Examination of the facts indicate,
however, that Germany will not be en-
barrassed by keeping this latest prom
Use. because Argentina has no mercan-
tile marine engaged in transatlantic
trade. The whole controversy has i'm
pressed some officials here as hollow,
and its result Is viewed as a point
scored for Germany. It's only effect
will be TO insure the neutrality Of the
South American country, whose i'm
portance is exceeded by none, unless 1t
be Brazil.
Captain Won Papen Active
The outcome has created no great
surprise here. Since Brazil and a few
other South American nations aligned
themselves against the methods OF Ger
many, agents of the Kaiser are known
to have been uneeasing in their activi-
ties in Buenos Ayres. Captain Won
Papen, former military attache here,
whose withdrawal was requested be-
cause of his unneutral acts, now is at
the Argentine capital, where he is said
to be directing his country's propa'
ganda.
Il became known to-day that q large
part of the German money that was in
American banks at the beginning OF
Americas war with Germany has been
transferred to Argentine Banks. Some
of this money has been invested there
but most Of it is merely held on &C
count.
Embarrassment for Brazil
Areentina's position may prove an
embarrassment to Brazil, her neighbor
on the north. Brazil is at war, al
though no declaration Of the fact has
been made. Her feet is patrolling the
South Atlantic in cooperation with the
American feet, and her mercantile
ships are being protected in their
transatlantic voyages in the same way
as are American ships. II is regarded
possible that the presence Of active
German agents in an adjoining country
might interfere with her programme.
Much interest is felt here In the man
ner in which the people Of Argentina
will regard their governments atti-
tude. There has developed among a
large part Of the people Of the country
a widespread pro-Ally sentiment.
