FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray. dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sul- phur in the hair. Our grandmother 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 attactive, use only this old-time recipe. =.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so ev- enly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge rsoft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morn ing the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearnce of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is delightful toilet requisite to impart color and youthful appear ance to the hair. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation o rprevention of disease.-Adv.

An Inside Bath Makes You Look
 and Feel Fresh
Says a glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 keeps illness away.
Thls excellent, comnnorl.sense health measure being
 adopted by millions,

Physicians the world over recom- mend the inside bath, claiming this is
 of vastly more importance than out
 side cleanliness, because the skin pores
 do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing i'll health, while the pores in the ten yeards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
 bowels the previous days indigestibie material, poisons, sour bile and tox- ins; thus cleansing, sweetening and
 purifying the entire alimentary canal
 before putting more food into the stomach.
 Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the elim- inative organs. Those who wake up with bad breath,
 coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
 dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
 acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipation.
 should obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store
 This will cost very little but is suffi-
 cient to demonstrate the value of in
 side bathing. Those who continue it
 each morning are assured of pro-
 nounced results, both in regard to
 health and appearance.-Adv.

DESCRIBES HOW
 BRITISH ARMY TOOK BAPAUME
Twas a Long Ten Miles, Writes Staff Correspond
 ent of A. P.
(Staff Correspondent of the Associated
 PreSSl

(Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press.)
 British Headquarters in France,
 March 19, via LondOn.-In tho city of
 Albert, where the famous gilded lean-
 ing virgin" still suspends miraculous
 ly from the lofty tower of rather
 gaudy and fantastically shell-torn
 church, there has long been bril-
 liant sign reading '"ro Bapaume." It
 has pointed the way along narrow
 Picardy town, transformed by the
 Germans into what they term mod
 ern field gibraltar.
 Between Albert and Bapaume lie
 the battlefields of the greatest martial
 struggles of all history. They are
 called the battles of the Somme, but
 more correctly might be termed the
 battles of the Bapaume road. 1t has
 been long 10 miles, but at last Ba-
 paume has been taken and the Brit
 ish kahki line extends well beyond it
 in all directions.
 The field grey German lines are falling back now on front approxi-
 mating 40 miles. They are dissolving
 in clouds of blue-grey smoke, for the Germans have lighted fires to screen their retreat. No village is being spared from the torch.
 The retreat now extends from we'll below Chaulnes on the south almost to Arras, on the north, and covers about one-third of the entire British line. It has even extended down where the French lines begin. pritich p,1Chn0 into Peronne, where they had to fight vir- tually every step of the way. There have been many fires in Peronne since
 Friday The Germans also burned the suburb of Halle before abandoning it. The taking of that town meant a great deal to the men in the trenches One British battalion due to be re-
 lieved Saturday from term of stren- uous work, actually requested that they be sent forward in order that they might see Bapaume cleared ot l the enemy.
 On Bapaume road ambled the Brit ish ttanks' on their startling way to battle. It is this road that pierces Pozieres, and on either side lie the uneorgettable village of Thiepval
 Flers, Coucelette, Contalmaison, Fri court, Mamets, Martinpuilh and Beau
 mont-Hamel and the notorious Butte de Warlencourt.
 It was particularly fitting that the troops which fought the hardest about the Butte last autumn should be among the first to reach Bapaume, of | which the Butte had long been re- garded as the key position.
 There was no flying of flags or
 beating of drums as the British pa trols penetrated the town, for there was fighting ahead and Bapaume is filled with underground strongholds. But it was not long before the ad- vance guard sent back over the tele- phone wires, which ever kept pace with the onward movement of the
 troops, that the enemy rear guard had "all been accounted for" .. Later came a second message read
 ing in true soldier language:
 "The mopping up of Bapaume now
 is completed"

 DECLARE STATE 0F WAR
Continued from page one.)

Bids for 200 or more additional craft, "coast patrol boats," as they will lbe designated, will be opened Wednesday, MT. Daniels called up the entire list of smallboat manufacture CTS, to submit figures and state when they can be turned out, at high speel, He plans to monopolize the ship building market with government orders.
 A large number of privately owned vessels may be drawn upon at any time. Contracts have been made for their purchase and telegraphic orders will make them government property overnight. Volunteer crews from the boats have been enrolled among yacht club members and other persons along the coasts.
 Navy officials estimate that in fonr months a fleet of 2,000 patrols and chasers will be ready for active ser- vice. It is planned to assemble the volunteers in few days to begin such actual operations as the matter of training, pending orders from the president for the complete mobiliza- tion of the navy.
 In this connection, officials said it is planned to establish a submarine patrol off the American coast, insur- ing safe passage to and from Ameri- can ports for all shipping, and ne- gotiations will be started with Eng land and France for a working, agree ment with their patrol -squadrons, : 1 now endeavoring to protect ships passing through the German subma- rine zone.

in the history of the Western Slope
is coming to a close. a winter that has
been almost continuously cold for four
full months. In many previous years
apricots have been in bloom by this
time and alfalfa fields have been green
and irrigated. Now the fruit buds are
as dormant as in December and we
are still having hard freezing nights.
Spring was ushered in yesterday by
the advent of March. The sky was
clear after a winters night and II is
to be expected that the weather will
warm up rapidly, but even this cannot
be regarded as a certainty. Anyway
