CHORUS VERY Proficient
IN ORlTORIO "MESSIAH"

A rehearsal by the Oratorio Society,
held last evening In the parish house
OF the Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church, showed that the coming pro-
ducsion Of Handers Messiah" at the
Playhouse, on December "a. will be
much OF a surprise to IFS hearers. The
chorus now numbers over i25 singers,
excellently balanced IN the four parts.
Under tho leadership OF T. Leslie Car
nentor. who conductor the last produc-
lion Of tho Messiah" ia this city in
1897, it has mastered thoroughly the
iutricacies OF this greatest oratorio
The soloists for the production will
he May Ebrey Hotz, soprano; Marie
stone Langsion. contralt0; Nicholas
Douty, tenor. and Frederick Martin,
bass. All are artists Of national repu-
iation and have received wide praise
wherever they have sunk in the Mes
siah." They were especially chosen by
Mr.. Carpenter because OF their knowl-
edge of the Handel work.
Accompaniment for the production
will be provided by selected number
OF members Of the Philadelphia sym
phouy Orchestra. The society is ac-
companied at its rehearsals by John
A. ThOms, Jr.. pianist.
Possibly the finest feature Of the re-
hearsal last night was the spirit OF
artistic endeavor and appreciation for
the magnitude Of the oratorio, which Is
sung regularly each year in many cities
OF the country The work is especially
appropriate this year because Of the

WAR ON AUSTRIA
WILL CAUSE NEW
DRAFT PROBLEM
Aliens Now in the National
Army Will Be Recalled
From Military Camps
WILMINGTON HAS men
TODAY At CAMP DIX

President Wilson's demand that war
be declared on Austria-liungary has
thrust a new problem on the officials
Of the local exemption boards, who
sent many alleged subjects Of the dual
monarchy TO Camp Dix and still have
before them the cases Of many draft
registrants whose nation Is the chief
Of Germany's allies. II may eventually
be necessary to expel from Camp Dix
the Austrians and Hungarians and send
them back to this city, TO be replaced
by Americans
Local board No. 3 was confronted
with q problem Of this kind today.

and, who had been listed as q deserter
because he failed 10 report for examina-
tion. surrendered today. lie had failed

change Of address and accordingly ap-
peared as soon as he learned that he
was wanted.
lie was sent 70 Camp Dix as a sol
dier, this morning, despite the fact that
he Is an Austrian, or claims TO be one.
In the event this country declares war
on Austria this man, as well as the
other Austrians and Hungarians sent
from this city. no doubt will have 80 be
returned from camp and II this Is done
it will mean the calling Of an equal
number Of Americans on the list 10
take their places ia the camp.
The calling of married men with de-
pendents, under the new regulations. Is
causing much speculation. not only
among the members Of the local boards
but also among tho men who have been

class. Draft lines are gradually being

LADIES! SECRET 10
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring back color, gloss and youthful
ness with Grandma's recipe of
Sage and Sulphur.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome
An easier way is to get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition
Of other ingredients, costing about SO
cents large bottle. at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding lot OF
muss
While gray, faded hair is not sinful
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness By
darkening your hair with Wyeth' 6
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
Is a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.-Adv.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting mora
food into stomach.
Says Inslde-bathing makes any.
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing ILL
ness, while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. II this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nour1shment
to sustain the body
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast, each day.
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, salow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured OF prOnounc-

The Commercial Club

It is refreshing to note how citizens are rally
ing to the support Of the Commercial Club. New
life, new impetus, new ideals and new visions,
have taken hold of the leaders, and the people,
always willing to respond to good leadership are
supporting the cause.
This is as it should be. This is the spirit that
makes for success. This is the principle of COM
munity interest and community responsibility
that will make the Commercial Club the great vi
talizing institution of Richmond
Let's remember this: We are joining the Com
mercial Club not because it means dollars and
cents to us individually, but because it means
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.
Many of us go to church regularly. We hear
it preached constantly that service is one of the
cardinal virtues.
Apply this to our civic life. If we serve the
community, we serving ourselves; we are
serving the city, the county, the state the nation
We are increasing good will and happiness.

Democracy in Germany

The first definite step for democracy in Ger
many was sounded in the Reichstag the other
day. A Socialist demanded republican form of
government Press dispatches indicate that the
demand of George Ledebour, the Socialist leader,
did not go very far, but this was to be ex-
pected
Great movements are not born overnight and
their execution does not come in few hours.
Many months may elapse before Ledebour will
see his demands crystallized into action. His
declarations however, will open avenue
of thought for the German people and set them
to thinking about democracy and it's privileges.
Whatever may be the outcome of the war, it
seems certain now that republican principles have
received an impetus that will democratize Euro
pean systems and exalt the rights of the people.
