in which the money was given
goes without saying. Nearly
$1,000 additional has been con-

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

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 mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussv and
sout-of-date. Nowadays, by, asking at
any drug store for SO cent. bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair. Il -yAsss..ss l:2.2E
4 well-known downtown druggist saws
it 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
"a time. By morning the gray hair dis.
appears, and after3another> application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
IS a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more Youthful appearance.

Washington, April 24.-British For
eign Minister Balfour and members
Of the British high commission, here
to discuss conduct of the war, began
their first official day in Washington

which was at the state department.

department building and paid formal
call on Secretary Lansing.

WH|TLoCK SCORES
TEUTON ATROCITIES

Washington, April PA scathing
indictment of the German General Won
Hindenburg's deportation of Belgians
by Brand Whitlock, American minis
ter to Belgium, has been made public
by the state department as follows:
Even if modicum of all that is
told of the deportations is true there
still remains enough to stamp this
deed as one of the foulest that his.
tory records.
Zone interesting result of the depor.
tations once more places in relief the
German capacity for laundering, al
most as great as the German capacity
for cruelty.
They have dealt mortal blow to
any prospect they may ever have had
of being tolerated by the population
Of Flanders; in tearing away from
nearly every humble home in the land
a husband and a father or son and
brother they have lighted fire OF
hatred that will never go out; they
have brought home to every heart in
the land, in way that will impress
its horror indelibly on the memory of
three generations, a realization of
what German methods mean, not, as
with the early atrocities in the heat OF
passion and the first lust of war, but
by one Of those deeds that made one
despair of the future of the human
race, a deed coldly planned, studiously
matured and deliberately and syste-
matically executed, a deed so cruel
that German soldiers are said to have
wept in its execution, and so momen-
tous that even German officers are
now said to be ashamed

The Institutional God.

=, Here is something so good that we
copy it from the columns of The New
Republic. It is a paragraph from an
article by H. G. Wells upon the reli-
gious revival as result Of the big war: ..5
''The other day l was walking with
an eminent Anglican among various
other people, and someone with an eye
to him, propounded this remarkable
view. 'There are four stages between
belief and utter unbelief,' he said. There
aer those who believe in God, those
who doubt him like Huxley, the agnos-
tic, those who deny him like the atheists
but do at least keep the site vacant,
and lastly those who have set up a
Church in his place. That is the last
outrage of unbelief.' y n

Publishers Association of New York City
Takes Action.

New York, April 23-Resolutions de-
claring that the censorship provisions OF
the espionage bill sis an assault upon
the very foundation of our free institu-
tions, freedom of thought and freedom
of speech" have been adopted by the
Publishers Association of New York
City, it was announced last night. SEN
ators and representatives in Congress
from this state are requested TO vote
against the measure.
"There at present exists" the resolu-
tion says, "a voluntary censorship sug-
gested by the government which the
newspapers are observing in most pa.
triotic way. Every selfrespecting news
paper expects TO cooperate with the gov
ernment in refraining from the publica-
tion OF news that would give aid to the
enemy. Does anyone believe there is in
the United States a single newspaper
which would willingly print that which
should be concealed? Newspapers that
wilfully violate the spirit OF censorship
and publish prohibited information OF
military value could be prosecuted under
the law of treason"
