America is awake at last and ting
ling with new life. Saturday saw the
rebirth Of the nation. The praise
worthy action by the President in sew
cring relations with Germany altogeth-
or commanded approval and aroused
enthusiasm from coast to coast. The
response of the people has been immo-
date and impressive. We are not pre-
pared for war and we know it, but
mother are we afraid nor any longer
ashamed. We are united in approval
of the President s admirable action
Ill severing relations with Germany al
together. There was nothing else ia
do, and he saw his duty and did il
with dignity and distinction Let us
hope that the same steamer that takes
the German ambassador home will in

allies, the Austro-Hungarian and the
| Turkish ambassadors and the Bulga
rian minister. The sooner the break be
tween the United States and the Cen
trail powers is complete the simpler viii
be the solution of the problem. Fol
the rupture of relations with Germany
must be regarded under the circum

war, and war with Germany will in
volve war with her allies.

Vermont may have been little late
in piunging into the construction OF
permanent roads but this state is ap-
parently going to profit by some Of the
mistakes that have been made else
where without paying for the eXper

into road building, following the per
lection of the automobile, are now
learning that the methods they have
followed have failed to take into con
sideration the traffic to which these
new highways are being subjected
Costly macadam has failed to stand

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grandmoth-
er S recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur
and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its 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 mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 50 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 de-
pended 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
iapplied. 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
disappears, and after another applica
ton or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth S Sage and Sulphur Compound

who desire more youthful appearance
