IRISH PROBLEM
TO BE DETAILED
BY LLOYD GEORGE
British Premier to Explain
Governments Position on
Home Rule For Erin
Bv Associated Press


London, March THE prospect that
Lloyd George would take part in to-
days debate in the House of Com
mons on the Irish question and out
line the governments position toward
Ireland, aroused deep interest in the
proceedings. The debate hinges on
resolution which will be moved by 7.
p. O'Connor on behalf of the National
lists. The resolution reads as follows:
THAT, with a view to strengthen
ing the hands of the allies in achieving
recognition of equal rights for small
nations and the principle of national
ity against the opposite German princi-
pie of military domination and gov
ernment without the consent of the
governed, it is essential without furth-
er delay to confer upon Ireland the
free institutions long promised to her."
1t is expected that an amendment
recording the desire of the House for
a settlement without coercion of any
section of Irish opinion will be moved
from the government benches and
adopted as the official view. John Red
mond, who has been i'll, hoped to be
well enough 20 speak and Sir John
Lonsdale was prepared to explain the
views of the Irish Unionists.

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

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
ural color dates back to grandmotr
time. She used it to keep her
beautifully dark, glossy and attr;
Whenever her hair took on tina,
faded or streaked appearance, t...s
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect.
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out of-date.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
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
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, it becomes beauti-
fully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

Face the Facts, Start
Today to Think
and Save.

1t is high time we Americans are
facing the serious problems that con-
front each one of us. 1t matters not
whether your wages are $40 a week or
$1,000 a week. Though our beloved
country is not at war with arms, the
fact is we are paying the war bills
and so long as that war lasts the price
of butter you eat and bread you spread
it on, the clothes you wear to keep
you warm and shoes to protect your
feet are going to be high in price, and
the longer it lasts the higher every
thing you eat and wear will go. So
the only one thing is left for us to do
is to do just what they in Europe
have been compelled to do, is to cut
out extravaganza in eating and in
dress. 1t can't last long, people
starving in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago and we in Harrisburg
living on top of the pile. 1t will
sooner or later reach to our doors in
Harrisburg.
The tremendous wastes all over the
world, the eXtravagances of our Am
erican habit of living on seemingly
war prosperity is bound to cause
scarcity and higher prices.
AS a Shoe Merchant l see this. Pay
ing a weeks wages for a pair of fancy
shoes that have not the wearing quail
ties of a good neat black shoe that
costs one-fourth as much is money
thrown away that we will sadly need
for butter, eggs, bread and meat.
AS sellers of Shoes, we sell what
the people want, of course, but It
makes me sick at heart to have to buy
and sell a pair of shoes for So or S.
that have not so worth of wear in
them.
To-day we are selling one-half our
shoes for less than it costs to make
them, yet we will not advance a price
until our stock of over 100000 rairs
are sold and we are compelled to go
into the open market and pay more
than we are selling the same shoes for
to-day
I beseech you, spender of money, to
pause and give serious thought to
what you buy as to whether it's the
best you can get for wear and service.
whether you buy in any one of our
25 stores or outside.
