CONSCRlPT FARM LABOR
Urged by National Security League
! Member to Relieve Situation.

Lloyd TAYLOR, a mem.er of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the National Sc
curity League, who has large farming
interests in Orange county, New
York, has presented to Food Admin
istrator Hoover a plan for relieving
The agricultural labor situation by the
application OF the principle of the Sc
1ective draft. Mir. Taylor's idea is to
utilize the existing Farm Bureaus in
the various states for the intensive
training of men drafted for labor in
the production OF foodstuffs.
"The labor situation on the farms
will be more acute next spring than
at present" says he.
Mr.. Taylor was the originator OF the
great Preparedness Parade in New
York City last year and was one of the
principal moJers in obtaining the L.
100000 signatures to the petition for
Universal Military Training presented
by the National Security League to
Congress last April.

WAN AFFECTS oRPnANAoE.

The Christian Home Orphanage
at Council Bluffs is feeling Sc
riously the effects of the war.
The numerous calls for funds for
the prosecution of the war has
greatly affected receipts at the
Home, and the management finds
itself confronted by a debt of six
thousand dollars for actual liy-.
ing supplies. An effort is being
made to raise this sum by
Thanksgiving The Home cares
for five hundred children annu-
ally, and at the present time has
more than two hundred fifty
homeless children under it's care,
and nearly thirty little ones are
on the waiting list to be admitted
as soon as funds and room will
permit. The winter season is at
hand, when demands ON the Home
are greatest. If you feel that
you can help the work at this
time, it will be money invested in
a good cause. Address the Chris

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Fad
ed Hair with Sage Tea
and SULPHUR.

Grandmother kept her hair
beautifully darkened, glossy and
abundant with brew of Sage
Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her
hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound you will
get a large bottle of this old-time
recipe, ready to use, for about so
cents. This, simple mixture can
be depended upon to restore nat
ural color and beauty to the hair
and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A we'll known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, because it dar-
kens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been APP
plied-it's so easy to use, too.
You simply >dampen comb or
soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; after another appli-
cation or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy,
soft and abundant.
