HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don t stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray faded hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

GRANDMOTHER kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with i brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
tul effect BY asking at any drug
store for "Wveth S Sage and Sulphur
Compound, You will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe. improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybodys uses Wveth s Sage and
sulphur Compound now because it
darkens 50 naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
IT s SO easy to use, too. You simplv
damren a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, il is restored to its natural color
and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for tie

triotism in this day and age does not
necessarily mean militarism." said
President McVey of the state uni
versity in an address to the teachers
here this morning. II am opposed to
compulsory military training in
schools and colleges of the United
States. There are nearly nine million
young men in this country and it
would require over a million officers
to train them. This feat is an impos-
sibility.
II refuse to be stampeded by the
possibility of an invasion Of the
United States by foreign nations. 1 do
not believe it possible. for the single
reason that 700 ships would be re-
quired to cross the ocean for such
purpose. Even the most uneducated
along such lines must realize this is
an impossibility. The United States
must enter upon a new phase Of mili-
tarism. Our armies are too small to
carry on a successful campaign. Some

TROUBLE IN SWEDISH
MINISTRY UNSETTLED

Stockholm, March s-The fear that
the Swedish cabinet crisis was only
postponed. and not removed, by the

other attempt to solve the difficulties
referred to by King Gustav in his re-
quest that their designations be re-
considered, can be read between the
lines Of press comment here.
Even in the newspapers support
ing the government Is this apparent
while the opposition press is openly
